Wrong wrong. Doraki's jump is done after grabbing the ledge while riding the wall up from a double jump. This causes the game to register you as riding the wall, so if you press away, you will wall jump straight from holding the ledge. You keep your double jump.

I might be mistaken on the exact mechanics, but you keep your jump. Magus Magus Magus come and explain.
? I know that, that's what I said

Haha, sorry. I was just skimming posts.

Dark Hart, I'll critique your vid after class today.

I will also answer the ever important question of "Where do babies come from?" as a bonus.

dark hart, we need to play
Why do you say that? Also, if I ever meet you, bro, I'll play Melee with ya. I live in NC and I'm still a Senior in high school, so it'll be kinda hard. But I'd be more than happy to play ya if I meet ya, bro.







Cactus lied to me, unless his class is still going. *cue twilight zone music*

he probably forgot, is it really important? i'll give you his number, oh and also, i think i've said it in post somewhere when i was lolmaster, my plan when i graduate and get a job (probably working for the government as a professional electrical/computer engineer) is to save up money like tolllly, then hold melee smashfest everyweekend and i'd pay for people's rides/expenses to come to my place, so hopefully that'll come through, and we'll melee, melee is the only game that i play besides starcraft once in a good while, i've played brawl a total 11 times, i still can't name all the chars off of the top of my head

lol, naw it's not that important, and I'm definitly not going to call him to say, "Hey Cactus, critique my vid." I just wanted to know of he had any tips since I'm kinda sorta not really but somewhat new to the scene and really want to get to the top. Also, I'm extremly persistent. =P Melee's where it's at bro. I would totally come to one of your Smashfests, since I kinda wanna pull a Forward at some point. Just travel around the country and Smash and go to tourneys a whatnot, I've always though that would be awesome. As for Brawl, it's Brawl, I play, it's fun, it's gay, but it's not Melee and can never replace it. All I really play is Smash in general, mostly Melee though. It's just really hard to find a tourney that has high attendance for Melee around here. At a tourney back in the end of July, there were 6 teams, and 7 singles entrants. It was so disappointing.

That's what I'm doing. I'm planning on majoring in Liberal Arts since I don't really know what I want to do. =P But I want to keep Smashing, I know that. And I'm a Jew, no church for Dark Hart.

I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering last year and now work full-time as a Control Systems Engineer. Melee raised my gpa by 1 point. I figured out how to mindgame teachers.

cactuar, when you come back from kansas: I hate camping, and want to keep it as minimal as possible, can you share any tricks?

- FIGHTING JIGGS WITH FOX!?!
They always run away, and approaching seems bad, it pisses me off + air mobility issues, they always try to get behinf me, then grab or more WOP bair

- fighting samus with fox?
Camping war is so boring + up out of shield is annoying + CC downsmash

- fighting falco with fox?
CC-shine -> huge combo is annoying + refusal to approach + priority

- fighting marth with fox?
Sword, lol + DD -> wait for me to do something gets annoying

help would be appreciated

Jiggs - Camp lasers and use full hop d-airs -> grab and spaced b-airs.

Samus - Camp moar. Use d-air if they seem to CC a lot.

Cactus is better in the others :)

Thats what I think :bee:

Sheik does do good vs all of them except falco :)

About jiggs I just wanted to remind everyone how well utilt combos her.
Nair/bair/dair->utilt->1-2 uairs or a bair=like 30-45% which is like 3/4's of jigglys stock

I was thinking of some shield pressure stuff and I came up with this.

Drill->Shine->WD back jab shield.

A lot of people don't let go of their shield when you drillshine it. They roll away. The jab is quick enough that you can dash to where they roll and punish. If they let go and get hit by the jab, follow up with whatever.

Thoughts?

Cactuar you are not quitting Melee! I am FORCING you! It's a really stupid thing to do.

On another note, M2K and you are really good.
