That's what I thought, but I heard Peach somewhere from someone before so I threw her in too.

edit: It sort of scares me how little people know about DI. DI is the difference between

Marth combo on Sheik: U-throw U-tilt Fair Fair Fair Dair

and

Marth combo on Sheik: U-throw U-tilt

I was gonna post to Cyko and say like "Watch vids of Cosmo, Z, and lots of other random players from the MW. See how they DI? Now do what they do, except do the exact opposite in almost all scenarios." >_>

Not getting hit is superior to DI in most ways but since that'll never happen it necessitates simple DI.

Because of how the game's technical power and punishment has evolved we now need good DI.

Otherwise we get Sheik death comboing Marth on every stock from a single grab and Falcon killing everyone every time he lands a move and Fox perfect drillshining people across the stage and doing U-throw Uair Uair Uair combo like it's a true combo and Falco taking people unconditionally from 0-80.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

At least say "good matches" or something, geez.
they were decent matches, but everyone is so good now that it's only common sense to expect more.

and still, that marth would **** your face so hard your mother wouldn't recognize you
guess your comment says more about your skill then anyone else's
speak for yourself, we're not all as bad as europe is at the game. socal's actually one of the best.

NeighborhoodP is hilarious even his avatar smacks of trolling :). Its just funnier when anyone rises to the bait hes constantly putting out along with his illogical arguements.

Also P i had a look at some of your videos, your play isn't good or interesting I'm sorry. Which just makes it even funnier when you start on Raynex who has awesome tech skill and very precise movements in his play something you can't seem to pull off in your matches.

On topic; those matches were excellent especially the set of Raynex against Euphoria. Definitely given me some ideas on edgeguarding marth :)

raynex i cant go thanks to snow, so idk when I'll be there again if ever =(
dammit jason. the michigan guys are still 50/50. are your parents that solid about it? If it turns out that things aren't that bad you should make it out.

If not there is talk of another one in the same area with bigger attendance in January.

I think I'm the only Canadian that doesn't completely hate the presence of P :laugh:
You, me, Adnan. I don't think Kyle hates anyone.

That's four. And possibly more.

Stop pretending you're special.

edit: GaynEX TYVM but tbqh DI is common sense. Why can't IC D-throw D-air Fox infinitely? Smash DI. Why isn't drill guaranteed all the time? Smash DI. Why doesn't Fox's CG on himself work past 55%? DI. There's a lot of otherwise inescapable crap that becomes escapable with good DI. That's just common sense.

Pointing out that simple DI strategies are becoming more and more crucial, and that DI is becoming more and more important because of how stupid punishment is becoming (especially now that people are realizing that comboing into tech chases and extending by that crap makes nasty crap), amazing DI is so key to avoiding losses.

Really great videos, RaynEX is one of the best current Fox players in my opinion along with Colbol.

thanks man.

I should face Colbol in a tourny sometime. We've been to the same tourny 3 times but have never met in pools or brackets even once. -_-
