[washy]

learn how to forward hydro plane until you can do it instantly.

I forgot to say your charizard is awesome.

 

[Toby.]

I only got to watch half of the first one, but it was te sexy timez. Your charizard is sooo goooooood. I'm looking forward to watching the other ones when I get back home.

 

[Fearmy]

SH rocksmash. that's how you get the 42%. but i'd advise to use it less, when they're in the 60%-100% try to save it for a quick kill. moar flamethrower. seriously this move is a godsend, most ppl look it over b/c ppl are like OMG ROCK SMASH DOEZ 42 % CHARIZARD IS TOO CHEAP! it'll out out range AND out prioritze almost EVERY single move in the game. I think each character has like only 1 move that'll out prioritize it.

 

[Steeler]

the thing with flamethrower against mk is that if you mess up or they predict it, you are going to get the tornado every time. but you can fit in a flamethrower in a lot of circumstances, as long as mk is in range. it's a good move, just beware the tornado. your flame can cancel the tornado out during it's very early start up so that's a slight plus. cancel it as soon as you can if you think he can punish with it.

i think charizard in this matchup is all about learning when to grab, when to rock smash, and when to flamethrower. 3 best tools in the matchup imo, and all three are difficult to punish when used well. tornado's a ***** cuz you are fatttt. rock smash can hit mk out of it with zard hardly taking 1% but you need really precise timing to do so. pivot grab should work really well though.

a little more ftilt would be nice but it's slow and rock smash is solid, so that's fine. it doesn't even kill as well as dtilt.

i really like your squirtle's use of dair.

be more careful with withdraw, don't use your air jump until after you come out of the move. it's still useful to mix in sometimes, but it does have its flaws.

who cares about ivysaur LOL (against meta knight anyway)

but overall nice matches! your pokemon trainer isn't noob at all. 57% grab release dtilt kill...wtf santi. lol.

 

[Timothy2035]

Like Fearmy said you need more flame breath with Charzy.

Like Steeler said, be careful using withdraw slide from such high up unless you were just trying to keep from going out too far from a smash to trying to stay alive. Though be careful of letting the slide be too long. It can take you out of range of the ledge in some stages and your only jump back along with waterfall is just short of the stage.

Me personally, I think you played Squirtle pretty well. I think your Charzy is good, but why are you afraid to use Ivy? I noticed in the match on Corneria where you got corner trapped and MK spammed you to a high percent with those jabs. Next time if you shield with Ivy, do a quick roll forward. You will spin and be positioned to do a quick bullet seed. Most likely they are close enough to want to move after you and the hitbox will catch them.

BTW, with your Charzy, you had a couple of moments where a down air spike could have helped get MK out of your way when he was under you. It could maybe have helped to win.

Keep playing and representing Pokemon Trainer to the top tiers! We need more Trainer soldiers!

 

[Bestiarius]

You're back! Get Eevzy to post your vids in the new vid thread, 'cause your Zard is, or at least used to be, the best ever. I only saw the first match, and the only thing that really, really jumps out is, do not, DO NOT, ever, ever, EVER use Withdraw to recover. You are asking to be swatted off the stage.
Edit: And NEVER use Ivy against Metaknight. MKis too **** against Ivy.

 

[Steeler]

there may be a way to sdi out of mk's dtilt lock and then bullet seed him for it.

 

[Santi]

YAY!!
Thanks everyone

I had no idea not to withdraw lol. I thought it was good hehe
:D
keep it coming pleaseee

 

[Retro Gaming]

Aha. Santi, you do the grab release single jab thing I do versus Metaknight.

I only watched the first video. I know you didn't intend to use Ivysaur, but I think you need to use more Nair. When I want to switch out Ivysaur immediately I just Nair spam until I can get them far away enough with Fair. Just play in the center until you can switch. Or switch instantly. You kind of hesitated or something. You're going to get hit either way unless you hit them far away enough.

 

[Magik0722]

Yes like everyone said keep withdraw to a mininum, also it seemed infinity didnt know you can just grab squirtle out of withdraw. You didnt seem to know what to do against mach tornado with squirtle, may be you can try waterfall like you do with rocksmash with charizard

 

[Aveean]

Love your Charizard. I wish there was more Squirtle ownage but your Charizard beats all. Good choice trying not to use Ivy against Meta Knight.

And yes, I second what Bestiarius said. Post your videos in my video thread so I can get them up there for the archives! =)

excellent use of sdi here. I was practicing with sk92 and one of the tips he gave me versus metaknight was to do exactly what you did here. SDI up, air dodge through the nado and punish him.

the first video was very enjoyable and i look forward to watchin the rest sometime later today.

 

[Miles.]

I still love you.

 

[Straider]

Awesome vids , specially the first. I really like your zard but you could mix the throws with the release, and learn the forward hydroplaning that replaces completely the reverse hydroplaning. Thanx for supporting pokemon trainer.

 

[infernovia]

Dude, what a nooblet. Why you shielding? Get hit like a man.

Ok, but seriously guys, flamethrower? Really? I have SDI'ed out of it with a wii mote (upwards), the metaknight was SDI'ing the wrong way. The startup lag is at least 4 frames allowing you to see it coming and SDI up. This is a free hit against zard because metaknight has freakin fast aerials.

 

[T-block]

Is there a reason why you insist on keeping Water Gun charged against MK? MK is probably one of the characters you're least likely to get a WG kill on, and his aerials are so fast it doesn't seem like you'd be able to throw MK off with a stream to any useful degree.

I can understand that you might charge it when you're waiting for him to return to the edge, but there was one vid where you actually took a hit because of the charge.

 

[Onxy]

I'm starting to see a pattern in most of you PT users: start with Charizard, then go to Squirtle 'till death. Ivysaur comes out, then Ivysaur is immeditley switched for Charizard. I'm suprised that some of you are even successful by ignoring Ivysaur all of the time. Some of you really need to step it up with your Ivysaurs.

 

[Bestiarius]

Santi, out of curiosity, why did you switch to TL? You were the sickest Zard anybody had ever seen.

 

[Zephramrill]

PT is usable without any of the 3, but to be a master I agree with you here in that all 3 of the pokemon should be viable. You'd be proud, I worked all month on my ivysuar.
