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.

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.
cactuar wants to quit melee, everybody force him not to and tell him that's a really stupid thing to do

on another note, me and cactuar are really good
Don't quit Cactuar, the Melee community needs you! I'd never camp if I played you, it's not in my nature. ;)

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?
Drillshine>JC grab. That's what I prefer, or shine twice and grab. Roll chasing with a jab? This might work once or twice, but your opponent may catch on and start waveshielding and grab you. Just a thought.

Im stealing the nair shine thing vs. Falcon. Cactuar is beast.
Don't get me wrong here, but didn't PC Chris do this for a while already? Maybe because he has no vids against Falcons but he shine sh aerials at evo east vs M2k in the finals. I also know that KDJ used to sh nair through to shine sh bair.

Cactuar is the only other person I have seen actually use the technique as effectively as PC Chris though.

How do you perform the JCShine? I already know you shine, jump, shine, repeat but Im talkin about do you use up on the joystick or do you use X/Y?

what is nair shine new or something
swiftbass nair shine spams soo quickly on shields
I just forgot that Falcon doesn't have many options oos. It actually ***** him and he can't do anything about it. I'm not surprised by the nair->shine, I'm surprised at how effective it was in the match-up. Sheik can just nair you if you aren't doing it perfectly. Falcon on the other hand is completely screwed.

Is the Marth killer 100% reliable? What I mean is, could Marth grab the edge first if he came from low enough?

We played friendlies and were housed at pound 3. You also played me in crews and suicided your last stock.

We were both at Georgia but we didn't play much. You were too busy camping vidjo on FoD.
