I am currently practicing all of Dark's techniques used in this video to apply with some edgeguarding, DI and mindgames.

Truly inspirational.


(This video has made me play more Fox than Falco the past couple of weeks)

This video still hasn't gotten old to me. There was some funky DI in it, but I believe that alot of the techniques are useful in some situations if you're good enough to use them in tourney.


OH and I still am unsure about the part at 0:22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did he really pull off a shine wd on the very tip of the ledge?????? At exactly the same speed as his moonwalk?????

Can anyone explain this to me

Try to dash, then shine. You will continue to slide across the stage.
Same process. Dark shine in the moonwalk, and slide, go offstage, grab the edge.

It's called a shinehog. You cancel the shine into a jump, but you slide off the stage before you leave the ground, this cancels your jump and you just fall onto the edge.

Oh wow I've never heard of this, but it makes sense. Ill have to give it a try. So no wd (pressing L or R) is required?? Dammm

it's just because he up-b'd as he was running that way, so he drifted a bit, you can't control where you up-b before the HAYAAAA

It's been years since anyone has been here. Does anybody know if Dark is still around? This video is just unbelievable.

He is still around. He's N°1 in Chile, has gone to a lot of tournaments. I still think the big5 would **** him xd, and a lot of other good players too but I'd love to see how he does. He'd probably get better if someone consistently defeat him, he doesn't seem to care for improving since he wins anyway.

Cool. Someone should get him to come to the states so we can see his hands.
