Melee Confessions

[TheBSKR]

Okay... This is me trying to make this lighthearted and fun, so Here's my Confession: Despite being in a marth main the whole time I've played melee (2-3 years now) I can't ken combo... I'm a disgrace I know ;( If you have any confessions post them for fun

 

[TheBSKR]

Here's an extra I think roy beats capt.Falcon 7-3

 

[Onmitsu]

I've legit Ken comboed only twice. I've been playing Fox and don't multi shine or moonwalk

 

[Rpggames77]

cant short hop with falcon for my life

 

[mythbust4000]

i have gone 1-2 until this weekend when i went 4-2.

 

[Dolla Pills]

At one of my first college tournies I 2-0'd a few good players at my school and then got 2-0'd by a Ness for 4th

 

[Fester]

been playing for nearly 3 years & havent gone to a single tournament. fixing this soon tho, going to one on monday

 

[Spak]

My Falcon is the most inconsistent thing in the universe. I got JV5'd by a top Peach in NC, (in friendlies) then took 3 stocks off of him next game, I took a stock and high percent (almost took 2nd stock) off of ESAM's Samus game 1 in a tourney without having ever played a Samus in bracket and then couldn't take a stock off of his Fox game 2, and I SD in about an eighth of my games (about a half of my friendlies, but that doesn't count because I'm trying to get more hype stuff that almost never works and usually gets me killed lol).

 

[Synnett]

I can't edgeguard with Bowser very well.. even though it's his best tool. But I'm a beast in neutral and my recovery is very good somehow.

 

[SG Goose]

gone to 10+ torunaments, never make it past 15th place (out of 20+ ppl)

 

[Darkhero82]

Played marth for years and can't chain grab spacies

 

[SG Goose]

another one:

been playing Falco for 4+ years, can't multishine

 

[Spak]

I can moonwalk to the left (facing right) fine, but for some reason I can only moonwalk right (facing left) about half of the time.

 

[Onmitsu]

I actually miss Jungle Japes and Mute City

 

[CptJPuff]

I've been playing puff for nearly 2 years and I still have a terrible time trying to do rising pounds

 

[Dolla Pills]

I play Fox against casuals

 

[Onmitsu]

I only do if I have a tournament coming up

 

[Fester]

another one:

been playing Falco for 4+ years, can't multishine

multishining isnt a neccesity for falco/fox mains, so i wouldnt feel too bad about it

 

[Maza Nomains]

I use Dair with Fox about 3x more often than I do with Falco.

 

[Onmitsu]

multishining isnt a neccesity for falco/fox mains, so i wouldnt feel too bad about it

Honestly how I feel about it. The times where it's useful are so rare that it's not worth messing up your hand

 

[HillustratedJ36]

Well, I got a couple confessions I can get off my chest:

1. When I finally learned wavedashing, I'm trying to learn to use it consistently and also not use it too frequently, as I have been using that a lot over dash-dancing. One example would the SDs I sometimes get with Yoshi (even though he's the best character I can perform wavedashing on, followed by Mario).

2. This one is about the spacies. For Fox, I don't play as much because I don't know how he works, but at least used the down-throw quite a bit to do (from ledge) KOs, and sometimes try to edgeguard with his shine. Falco, on the other hand, play more often, and play more better. I frequently use his down-aerial a lot either as a combo starter, finisher, or an extender, but mostly the latter. At least half my combos with Falco have at least hit with a down-air--either after a shine, juggle, or rarely a short hop.

I am a casual, these techniques competitors use surprise me. When I perform it, it's an accomplishment, even if it costs me in the end.

 

[Fester]

I've been playing puff for nearly 2 years and I still have a terrible time trying to do rising pounds

honestly, who doesnt have problems with rising pounds? (coming from a puff main)

 

[Onmitsu]

honestly, who doesnt have problems with rising pounds? (coming from a puff main)

Um, me. But I don't play Puff

 

[Rpggames77]

I play Fox against casuals

i played falco against a casual, I felt so bad

 

[eski]

Consistently L-Cancelling is hard @_@

 

[Dolla Pills]

i played falco against a casual, I felt so bad

Well here's another confession then: I enjoy it

 

[Fester]

Um, me. But I don't play Puff

ouch

 

[Onmitsu]

I'm a Fox main so what is the window for the rise, like 15 frames?

 

[Dolla Pills]

I thought rising pound was a meme I'll be honest

 

[Onmitsu]

I thought rising pound was a meme I'll be honest

I thought it was just jumping at the same time you pound for the longest

 

[Fester]

honestly, who doesnt have problems with rising pounds? (coming from a puff main)

oh **** nvm i forgot what a rising pound was... nah that ****s EZ$

 

[TheBSKR]

I personally think that Roy is not THAT bad

 

[the muted smasher]

I use down-B as about the whole cast to call out jumps, like grounded bowser down-B

 

[TheBSKR]

I practice against cpus because I am a lonely overconfident Marth

 

[Ten of Nine]

Here's an extra I think roy beats capt.Falcon 7-3

Roy might be 7-3 against a CPU Falcon. Against a Human Falcon, Roy can pretty easily 0-death anywhere. Roy's weight and fall speed are perfect for all of Falcon's combo game, every move leads into something else.
Only stage where there might be hope is Final Destination, on Dreamland that MU is 100-0 in Falcon's favor.


There are a lot of Falco players locally, I love to use Mario against them all and I play extremely cheesy on purpose.
They don't know how to adapt to caped lasers, FH Dairs, and cross up Uairs. I play the opposite of Mang0, Cape that Up-B ASAP. I only really do this because a lot of them love trash talking and discussing how Falco's neutral is immaculate. It isn't and they aren't that good unfortunately.

 

[TheBSKR]

My thoughts tenofnine I think that from personal experience against falcon

 

[iAmMatt]

One time at a tournament I sat down to play this new kid at our local and bodied him, and based on his actions and the way he talked I assumed he had some form of autism. When we finished, I went to say "good game" and "You did a good job during that last game." It came out as a sarcastic "good job."

 

[SG Goose]

Consistently L-Cancelling is hard @_@

YES

 

[Onmitsu]

Especially when you're expecting to land on the ground instead of a platform and vice versa.

 

[captainmar]

I can short hop about half the time and can't L-cancel for ****. I also have switched my main about 5 times since the start of the year (when I started getting into melee competitively).
