anti's mk's worth learning from?
of course, any good MK can be learned from, that goes way beyond the top 5 too...you could even learn certain things from MK's worse than you(such as what *not* to do :laugh:)

Tyrant placed better than Dojo at Genesis and another big tourney (forgot the name).
I dont really think he is just as good as DSF.
Dont just use your experience vs. the players, M2K.

I outplaced Tyrant at AG and beat him 2-0.
Ah okay, nice one Dojo. ;)


Does Dair into Up B combo.
(if you fall down at them doing the dair, they get hit into a position that you can directly up B them, does it combo?

How do you beat ZSS Up-air and Up+B when MK is above her? I tried MK's D-air, but it did not work. Her Up-air seems to beat it and so does Up+B. I need answers quick.

You can't lol, just AD through or glide away.

Tornado is really good in that matchup though, she has 3 ways of stopping it her forward B, grab, and dair through the top. Keeping those in mind, if you don't try to cover large distances with it you can do lots of tornado.

I'm having trouble making the glide straight after you curve it.. How do you move your analog stick to make the path of flight straight?

The glide is controlled simply by tilting left or right, so just tap either direction a few times when you're attempting to glide straight.

remember the 1 swipe of bair fast fall - footstall - jab lock.

i recall m2k posting that you can forward roll behind a d-tilt lock and jab lock the other way. does that apply to a normal jab lock?

if it does, isn't that an infinite jab lock on every char if u get a bair - fast fall lock?
it's not that hard to setup

jump up and glide away is your best option in many matchups where getting back to the ground is a hassle (dittos especially)

and early that doesnt work because d-tilt is your only reliable lock jab takes too long (unless near a wall then its infinite) and they will get out
also around 20-30 percent you cant roll behind them anymore because they move too far especially if they DI it. So no infinite

Brawl doesn't really have a lot of real combos, so you'll have to just have a good sense of reading and momentum if you want to string your attacks together good enough.

That said though, DK is the easiest out of those three characters to "combo" due to his large hurtbox.

When your going for the uair string to tornado KO, whats the best way to do the tornado to get the KO? Do you just mash b as fast as possible or is there a better way to do it?

Obviously, you'll do it when you're very high. For so, mash B and direct the tornado up. :]

There is a hitbox at the bottom of the tornado that knocks opponents up, so you should try to avoid hitting that once you're approaching the peak of your tornado height, but doing that might not raise you high enough to kill them off the top, so without any practicing, just mashing is probably best.

Its useful as a mixup because it gets you behind them, but use it very sparely. It can be punished heavily if predicted.
