Hold down then keep flicking the c-stick down while singing "Good Day Sunshine" by The Beatles at the top of your lungs.

The method I mentioned is actually a cheat that works for all control slot combinations. Don't tell anyone else though, guys.

Depends on the character (for instance, Marth's turnip throw is horrendously slow)

But if they're catching your turnips really often then you need to rethink your turnip approaches and put slightly more pressure on as you do them.

people refer to cort as the 2nd best peach after vidjo... but when watching videos of vidjo it seems that all he does is fair >.> he does well in tournaments but on video his peach doesn't look that impressive.

so i guess my question is... how is vidjo a good peach? he does have very good reaction times, but he's not the most tech player (xif, cort, mike g... pretty much any peach players i see use more tech).

if i'm inadvertently bashing vidjo... i don't mean to at all.

He's good because he wins. He punishes mistakes, effectively edgeguards, and doesn't make a lot of risky moves.

Make sure your turnips actually have good follow ups rather than mindlessly chucking them.

Cort, why you're not on aim anymore? :<

Also, do you think 0:55-1:00 of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUyEnsUWgtA this video is sex? :3 Toad is underrated, once I broke a full shield with toad since all spores hit (falco laser) and last time peki's fox was left hanging on midair from short hopped toad, so I could uair him while still on stun. ^^

You don't have to be blatantly technical to be good at this game.

exactly

i guess what UnChienAndalousa is right. it just seems that the higher level of skill you play, the less mistakes people make... which is harder to punish. to me it feels like once people realize how to beat vidjo, he won't be regarded as the top peach player. i only say this because he doesn't have all the different moves most peach players have at their disposal.
isn't it true, the more moves you know how to do, the better you're overall potential is? well i guess what i'm trying to say is vidjo reached his max potential with his current movesets, whereas the more tech peaches have a higher potential that they just haven't reached yet.

i guess i just need to study vidjo vids more carefully...

I don't know what you mean by "once people realize how to beat vidjo, he won't be regarded as the top peach player"

Vidjo loses to lots of people, often. In fact, he hasn't beaten anyone impressive in quite a while. At FC I lost to Darkrain/Taj, he lost to Darkrain/Drephen and didn't beat anyone exceptionally good, but still managed to place higher than me. And he generally beats Darkrain/Drephen at more local tournaments, or atleast wins the majority of sets against them. He's also lost to people who aren't generally considered of the same skill level as him, such as mathos and Sliq...

His style is very boring to watch and he just plays smart, and I suppose I agree that in limiting his technical ability he kind of puts himself in positions where he's playing in a way that isn't as effective as he could be.

I'm not one to brag, but I don't really understand why Vidjo is considered better than me.

i dont think so. u dont need to do everything a character is capable of doing to win a match. jus play smart and dont f up. if what ur doing works and iwns matches, do it. and vidjo hs won more than he fair share of tourneys and has the recognition he has for a reason

The last time Vidjo was actually accomplishing great things was FC6. I think his time has passed.

It's a reoccurring line in American Psycho.

What do you mean? You think I was out of line or think I'm wrong?

My definition of great things is being able to compete with the best of the best. Now Vidjo is losing to PC's secondaries in pools and just not taking games from good players.
