Thanks alot for the help both of you who replied, I'm practicing it as we speak. I think it'll take some time to incorporate into my game, especially when I play my gf who LOVES edgeguard Marth. lol.

Thanks again.

Just be careful with it. If you keep spamming it and they know it's coming, it's easy to counter. Just mix it up every now and then.

Skler and HDL are two of the best.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

the GERM

so underappreciated

 

[TresChikon]

What about Aniki? That Link is stylin'.

 

[Spife]

I'd say the three best are
HDL
Skler
GERM

THen there's Blazing, Shaeman, Stos, Deva (if he still plays) are some higher level links.

A banned stage is a stage that is illegal unless both players agree to play on it. Am I rite? And a counterpick stage is....what again? Also, I heard striking before but what is that as well?

yup

a counterpick stage is....what again? Also, I heard striking before but what is that as well?

A Counterpick is a legal stage which you can pick against your opponant if you lose the first match, Sets will often be best of 3 or 5 and the first match with be on a neutral stage (normally Final Destination, Poke Stadium and Battlefield) which is selected randomly, after this first match the lose gets to 'counterpick' a stage to play on, they can pick from a selected list called couterpick stages.

I heard striking before but what is that as well?

Basically some tournaments do this to decide which stage is played on first. Imagine there is a list of 5 legal stages. Player A will choose to ban ('strike') one stage, then player B will ban 2, then player A will ban 1 more stage, leaving only one left, the first round is played on this stage and after that is is usualy counterpicking

What should I do with Peach after F-throwing Fox offstage? Any percent. I suck at gimping after F-throw at medium percents especially (like, around 50%). What are common recovery strats that Fox will do after F-throw and how do I respond to them effectively?

Bair or Nair are your best bets. Both beat illusion, but they sometimes trade with firefox when spaced incorrectly. (Nair does that more than bair)

Where can I find the official rule set? I cannot seem to locate it.

 

[Vro]

There is no official rule set. Look at large tournaments (Genesis, Pound 4) for respected rule sets.

ok, i'm a noob gimme a break, but what exactly is the point of L cancelling. I've been shown how to do it, bt i have never actually seen it worked into play, hewlp

 

[EC_Joey]

Falcon can't combo nearly as well if you don't L-cancel with him. Doing aerial moves quickly and minimizing the resultant landing lag is incredibly important. If you want to see L-cancelling worked into play, watch any high level tournament video or combo video.

Here's the Pound 4 thread if you're wondering where to find videos: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=261650

Ganon imo, hitting three people with a huge hitbox is awesome. Reverse upair edgegaurding 2+ is AMAZING.

No other answer is acceptable.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

peach is pretty good. you just play the same campy, high priority, always recovering *****

 

[Binx]

Sheik is good too you can just ledgestall and gimp whenever, Peach is prolly the easiest though.

 

[_Keno_]

Hmm, there are probably items, since its run by gamestop... Shiek and ganon are good with items right?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

peach is good with items...

 

[X1-12]

play falcon and they won't even be able to pick up any items

 

[Tamoo]

ganon does less damage with items...

You pick Jigglypuff and then rising pound stall forever high above the stage. When they whine about it you tell them there's no rule against it and you're just playing to win.

 

[TresChikon]

Just be Falcon and cherry pick.

How exactly do you Jab reset? When I try to do it to cpus, they always roll away after the jab.

if they roll it means they are either DI ing really well or they are too high % to jab reset properly
