Wat.

Unless you mean the Crush 40 tracks from the 3D games, I really have no idea what you're talking about. :/ And they're only moderately hype!

Generations, Colors, Unleashed, the Adventures...a lot of those songs are energetic. I guess hype is a stretch.

Sonic games have collectively the best soundtracks of any video games ever made.

Please take the bait.

IDK if this is bait for an argument or something, but for the games I've played, Sonic's do collectively have the best soundtrack.

Oh yeah, I've been repping Mario a bit myself lately.

Just got out of the internet lab playing with Coolwhip for a while. I think he ended up beating me in games like 9-6 after I went up 2-0 on him. Really cool dude, really solid Mario. Not sure how you felt about playing MX recently Xero, but I've been playing with him quite a bit. You've got the sharper/better Mario for sure, but he knows his stuff.

Try not to recover low if you can. Dude loves to go down there and spike.

Cool gimp tho.

I'm kind've amazing at recovering low actually, I try to time Up-B invincibility when people come at me.

I'd like to play MX again soon. Preferably not on 3 hours of sleep, but I'm not going to use that as a john or anything.

It was supposed to be bait for an argument, but it didn't work, lol.

I need to go to a tourney. Wifi is so stale.

Sonic music has always been pretty cool imo. "Live and learn" by crush 40 was everyones favorite when sa2
(Sonic Adventure 2) came out.

I'm still waiting for sonic adventure 3. (-_-) (Whenever that day comes)

I thought we established a long time ago that up b doesn't in fact have invincibility frames?

Need proof? Try up-b'ing DK's charged neutral b punch… If up b had invincibility it should go through him and his super armor should keep him from being knocked back. But you should also go through his punch… But if you have tried it before you will know that Mario goes flying…

Am I wrong guys?

Join me Matador! ---> http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=324808

Been to long since we've played each other.
Wow, okay. I'll start now on snagging a ride then, lol.

They aren't at the beginning. There are 3 frames from frames 3-6.
This. It still beats a ton of stuff, but you can't just use it like MK's braindead shuttleloop or something.

The recovery method that Xero is referring to is practically the only way to get back onstage against a D3 that wants to bair you, in some situations. That move beats practically everything we've got aerially.

Alright cool. Good to know! So how do you practice timing it so you only hit your opponent's hitboxes on frames 3-6? That seems like a very small window of opportunity!

It's such a fun game and I would call it the best DS game I've played. Apparently a lot of people are fans of Sho Minamimoto but Joshua was always my favorite.
I agree, imo its one of, if not THE best game fro the DS. I personally loved Neku best, and tbh he's probably one of my favorite characters ever. Even my avi has something to do with him (the girl in it is wearing his clothes lol).

Are there any slow-mo vids of the jump punch? Like, when exactly are frames 3-6?

yo matador u comin to woodbridge?

that would be sick....
If I can get a ride, definitely. The two tourneys that Kenny hosted that I went to were both amazing. Imma make this one.

Edit @ TMario: Hard to say. There's no real visual cue for when during the animation that Mario is invulnerable (maybe he flashes? I dunno). I usually use my distance from the opponent to judge when to use upB to break attacks. After awhile of using it, you just sort of intuitively "feel" when it's the right time to upB for the invulerability.

Just practice with it to get an idea of how soon you need to do it to break through attacks. Know that it's near the beginning of the attack too.

The invincibility frames start at 0.05 seconds after you use the attack, but only last until 0.10 seconds after you started the attack.

The actual attack comes out at frame 2, which makes it (fun fact) the fastest Up-B in the game in terms of startup.

Powershield to Up-B breaks 'Nados. It's fun.

Of course, you can Powershield to jab, too, but Up-B has more the range you need.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I assume PSC is... Power Shield combo...?

EDIT: Power Shield Canceling. That makes more sense. Brawl... combos. Heh, I must be on something.
