I tried to pick up Sheik, and failed. But I'm not afraid to lose with her.

Edit: *him.
at least you know your going to lose

;)

ICs don't really need to approach Puff that often, but they still need to be somewhat aggressive because otherwise, Puff can push ICs the side of the stage, which is problematic. I think the match-up boils down to ICs trying to shield camp a lot at a certain distance while throwing out the occasional smash/aerial/utilt/ice block/etc. to catch Puff off-guard. I personally only like to grab when I think the Puff will shield, but I still see other ICs players get grabs at other times.

Puff just needs a really good sense of how to position herself relative to ICs. Most Puffs I've played are pretty bad at zoning ICs, although Psychomidget is really good at it for no apparent reason.

He's good at a lot of things for no apparent reason though :D

also that matchup really is amazingly difficult. I feel like ICs can, on average, better punish a spacing mistake made by puff, but that puff can always threaten a rest any time ICs miss a grab/smash...and threaten to edgeguard nana if near the edge of the stage.

i happen to think ic's have the advantage when both of them are there because they do soooo much damage LOL

but puff can **** nana so easily, but i dont care. i protect nana son

nana doing a blizzard by herself is soooo good, it makes puff think too much and then popo can do whatever

I think Nana blizzard is really unreliable against Puff in most circumstances. She can occupy this space above the blizzard in which she can safely retreat if she feels she can't safely approach or she can punish Nana, who is forced to be stationary and can't protect herself, if Popo moves a bit away from Nana or if Puff correctly reads whatever Popo chooses to do. Using blizzard usually feels like an invitation to potentially get hit or lose ground against Puff to me, although I can see it being useful near the edge or for quickly protecting yourself against a near-ground Puff.

Listen to yourself, MacD. You're talking crazy.

EC is having one billion tournies this summer lol. I live on the EC and I doubt I'll make more than one(unless I'm lucky). You'll be fine. =)

i wish all smashers lived in a state, still were seperated by regions, and we'd still have smaller tournies, but we could go visit each other easier and we could have super tournies more often and it'd be cheap

idk if that would work in the end but hey, why not

EDIT: it's on the Eastern Coast and that's where the people i wanna hang with are, even it is South by smash regions

modesto hasn't been to a bay area tourney in like over a year
we REALLY suck at transportation.
i wish there was a cheap way to get there.

plus isn't it advertised that norcal disowns modesto?
or has that died down a bit?

honestly

when you ride a bike to someone's house, you take that **** inside with you. haha

my bike got stolen because it was in the backyard to little caesars (which someone used bolt cutters on the fence lock)
