I'll go check it with the AiB Links if you want. The Link boards here are a bit dead, so that not being updated could be a possibility.

Good job finding it on you own though, and thanks a TON for not making a thread.

how do you short hop?

 

[ThreeSided]

how do you short hop?

Tap jump. Don't hold the button for as long. Notice how your character crouches down very quickly before jumping? If you let go of the button before that time, you will short hop.

I need help Timing Wario's Dash Attack Cancel.

Everybody knows about things like sliding jab, sliding tilts, and sliding smashes, right? Running, pivoting, and executing a move resulting in sliding...Did everybody know that you can reverse all of these moves?
I'm talking about sliding backwards while performing any A move. Known?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure SamuraiPanda found that...I'll try to find a thread.

As for Wario's DAC, check the Wario boards and ask for their help in the Q&A. You'll get a way better response then here.

what does shff mean? and can someone tell me how to do it?

 

[infomon]

what does shff mean? and can someone tell me how to do it?

SHFF: Short-Hop, Fast-Fall

You do a fastfall by tapping down when you're in the air; usually you can only do this after the apex of your jump, I think... but if you're in knockback (after you get hit) then you can fastfall even while rising, which reduces your vertical trajectory

Just curious, what's the world record for the home run bat sandbag thingy?

 

[actmasterkings]

how to decide whether to grab or melee??

[Noman]

Do different strengths of hit-boxes have different counters for stale moves? For example, if I hit with Falcon's weak knee ten times in a row, is his strong knee still fresh? Or is it decayed?

 

[Boofy!]

^ it's decayed

 

[ndayday]

Can you rephrase that question? I'm sure that nobody understands what it means...

 

[Hence]

Suddenly I've realized that I can't stop airdodging before I hit the ground. Smart players punish me for it and reset the situation.

How should I go about combatting this habit?

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Play better people and realize it's a problem. It'll change. You wouldn't keep walking into an electric fence would you?

 

[rehab]

You mean like you panic and airdodge when you thought you should be attacking? Otherwise, airdodging into the ground doesn't inherently put you at any prone position. You can buffer it into shielding, and when you land not inputting anything besides movement after the airdodge you're in a neutral state.

 

[pacmansays]

Might be a dumb question as I play as neither character but what (apart from a couple moves) is the difference between Ness and Lucas? Lucas seems like a clone to me but debate about them sets them apart, just wanted to know why

Alright so I read mookie's incredible playing to learn guide found it useful except for something.

I wrote up a guide back in 2006. Seeing as how we got a bunch of new peeps in on the scene I figured I could update it a little and repost it here. Hopefully it will be a catalyst to improving the metagame.






The best way to progress once a player hits the plateau stage is to focus on his observation skills. At this level analyzing matches and decisions in play are key. Learning small things, like individual player habits with a given character, go a LONG way towards breaching the next level. Being able to quickly identify habits and patterns is the first step towards learning how to control players and establish the flow of the match. Simply put, observation skill is what dictates your personal growth. I very much recommend that players record their matches and analyze them. It makes it INCREDIBLY easy to pinpoint your problems as well as things you can expand and improve upon.


[/SIZE]

Okay I wanted to know something. I know I have good observation skills and I can usually quickly dictate their skill level and their patterns / bad habits in a tourney serious match. But my question is: during tourney play, I already know these, but it's like a brickwall since I can pick up patterns quickly, how do I actually beat them? (you know beat out their patterns or the brickwall w/e )

sorry if it doesn't make sense =/

 

[tRoll King]

What character prospers from playing offensively? (no meta-lulz) I've been trying to find someone to feed my attacking nature. Right now I main Link and Snake, so obviously no camping to be heard of, but just curious on y'alls opinions.

 

[Bellioes]

Well there are several though the ones that I think are best at it are Luigi, Diddy, and Wario (though sometimes its better to camp with him). And then theres the obvious answer of MK.

Here's a list of things that sets them apart:

1) Their entire movesets.

So yeah, only one thing.

Sorry, but if you looked at any given move, they are different between the two character. Some are more different than others, but all are different enough, even their Down B.

thats dependant on you being good enough with your character.

when it comes to brick walls like marths SH double fair, you notice that you can attack inbetween fairs, but you actually have to have the reflexes and skills to pull it off. once you recognise certain patterns its up to you to figure out how to beat them with your individual character

 

[basilioyugi]

whats the correct way to break a grab?
i just press everything , but whats the proper way?

 

[Cacti]

Spinning around the control stick while flicking the c-stick. Pushing the shoulder buttons might help too but I'm not sure about that part.

 

[ndayday]

Any button input helps to get out of a grab, including L/R.

Basically, just revert to your n00b days and mash every button you can reach.

 

[adumbrodeus]

whats the correct way to break a grab?
i just press everything , but whats the proper way?

It's not just mashing buttons, but doing it in the most efficient way you can to maximize the amount of inputs you get per second. I generally still use my method from Melee to break grabs of rotating the control stick while rapidly sliding the side of my thumb back and forth over B/A/Y/X while pressing L/R/Z, but that's mostly good for it being effective yet easy to set up quickly for any time you happen to get grabbed.

There wasn't really anything before that was multiple regrabs but also required them to grab hit me, since for CGs if I mashed out faster they just won't bother grab hitting while doing it, so there's likely a better method than that for the grab hit infinites since ease/speed to set up and hold the controller differently isn't really important.

So basically, more inputs per second = better.

Magus' method quoted here is really good, though better ones are possible.

 

[MiniTroika]

How does someone "DI" better than another? Ally amazes me by how well he DIs but many people don't know how he does it... I don't really know how to properly DI, I do this:

Being sent to the right from the middle of Smasvhille
I hold the control stick Up left
I hold the C Stick down left
Momentum Cancel
Fast Fall

Am I doing it right?...

 

[infomon]

No. You only need to be "holding" the sticks during the moment that you transition from hitlag to hitstun. Do you know the difference between smash-DI (which is input during hitlag, to get yourself out of multi-hit moves) and "regular" DI (which helps adjust the direction you get sent flying)?

I don't know why you're holding the two sticks in different directions. Using both sticks can help for smash-DI, but afaik not for "regular DI".

Try this thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=221969

You may have to read it multiple times. IMO it's written kinda over-verbose and confusing but it's prolly the best guide we've got. More importantly, test things out yourself (training mode or "debug" mode hack might help), and don't necessarily trust ppl when they tell you things about this. Minor technicalities everywhere

HTH!

 

[tRoll King]

Anyone know who the top three fastest grab pummels belong to?

 

[Bellioes]

Wolf, Squirtle and Diddy... I think? In any case, their grab pummels are really fast, especially Wolfs lol.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Umm.. I smash both sticks to the stage then Fair(I'm Sonic) Fast Fall and spin.

 

[Fuelbi]

I need help. I am stuck with tabuu in the last level of the subspace and i cant beat him. i use all my best characters : kirby, lucas, sonic, the pokemon trainer, and pit. could somebody please tell me how to beat him using those people? or if you got a better strategy with other characters then please tell me it as well

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Just kick the crap out of him. Learn his attack patterns and sidestep the ring waves of death.

This could help. http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Tabuu

hello, how do you download gecko os to the wii?

The best place to look up and, if you can't find it, ask the question, is the Smash Workshop subboard, which you can find here:
http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=209

I'm sure you'll find your answer there.

 

[Roxas1988]

Anyone know if d-tilts are relatively faster than side tilts or vice-versa. Basically asking which tilt do you believe to b the fastest? Got into an argument about this. I personally believe d-tilts to be the fastest. Your opinions would help.
