nope. hah

i beat jr's marth with fox like 1 out of the 5 or 6 we played. i didn't get totally ***** every match that i lost though.
we both get good gimps on each other every match. i think i'm really good at fox marth match up (especially the gimps and edge guards).

i know how to position decently. i just need to be a tiny bit more patient and a little faster with the waveshine grabs.

as for jaime, i only played his dk with fox like twice and i won at least one of them. i wish i could've played him more. it's a good test for me because he's really good against fox with dk. he only needs 1 or 2 grabs per stock but it's really hard for him to get those grabs on a decent fox.

with both match ups, i need to just pick at them with hits here and there until one connects then see if i can follow it up or not, all the while being sure not to give them the one grab they need.

edit: my falco in teams... yeah... poor little dk gets murdered. haha

Fox definitely has the advantage over DK. I've never played against DK, but I agree that shine grab is definitely an option. I don't think DK has any relatively fast moves that can compete against shine grab

fox can be aggressive against dk all he wants, his body is so big compared to his shield so he will get shield poked after like 2 hits of shield pressure

I'mma tell Merced peeps to go. And I'll actually make a thread for the tournament at some point tmw. Unless I'm overwhelmed by laziness of course, which is pretty likely I guess

But seriously, i'll make a thread. Maybe.

wonderful advice but I never said that. I do love shinegrabs again DK though. If they up+b out of shield, the shine cancels it and you grab them right after. too good!
so i randomly shine usmash kind of often (literally random) and if i'm running into an attack the shine cancels it and i still get the upsmash... too good, man...

i only shine grab with falco... idk why... dot dot dot... ellipses...

Nothing wrong with it being on a sunday to me. Also Nick mentioned something about starting singles after 1PM so I am sure you're out of church by then Andre.

It's probably the best option for now

**** modesto, i wish this tournament was hosted during our school year (ended last week). i would've definitely went if this was the case. oh wells, there's next school year, and I'll have a car by then.

ps: i'll be going to nor-cal tourneys starting from september so if anyone needs a ride to a nor-cal tourney, then merced can pick you guys up
