If there's one thing I have learned since I got really good at this game, it is play for yourself. If people trash talk you then whatever MM them lol. If you wanna experiment then do it.Friendlies here seem to mean a lot more, so if I were to experiment and try new things, I'd probably have to endure trashtalk/taunts/whatever, unless I include the disclaimer of me not being completely serious. :\
But I like experimenting/being creative in friendlies. It's when the Toad and fsmash come out.
Of course, everyone has their own experience with what works and not. For you, grinding tons may be better at this point than someone else that has to take breaks to become better. That's something you feel out pretty much, I think.Yeah that is how I have been thinking over the past years when it comes to this. A lot of people mention it and I don't like to think "that dosen't work" just cause I have that feeling when I first find out about something. But yeah my feeling right now, if I truley try to find a answer is I should not take a break.
And I guess I would have a hard time with not playing melee often even if it only is for one break cause melee is so much more fun then everything else
I remember S2j saying he prefers to beat the hell out of noobies in friendlis because dropping matches to people you "shouldnt" gets really annoying when they start to say stuff like "we were basically going even", while you were goofing off.
who cares if they say u were going even?
I was going to respond to this with what I do but then nah
lol that reminds me of when I went to a feat yesterday, then someone said how he was getting better later in the day cuz he was managing to take a stock off me (granted that every time it happened was because I SD'd [usually goofing off. ] they were legit SDs cuz the game read them as so and he didn't get the kill for them).
Love Max berger lol. If you'll be at FC we could always MM then haha.I would MM you sometime! I'd do it for Max Berger! My body is ready...
You know when spacies do that obnoxious leanback animation after getting Dair'd that is sometimes hard to shine them out of? I grab/dash JC grab them out of them occasionally(I used to do it a ton a while back). It's kinda cool because it trips people up on DI sometimes and it ensures some Dair followup which is nice.
).
Oh wow, yea I didn't even think about it for those scenarios. I'm going to try that out next time I play on that situation because I get caught up on that leanback animation every so often and I find it to be really, really frustrating. Plus I don't like delaying the shine or double shining on the staple part of Falco's combos on spacies because it just seems to throw me off. Thanks for the idea PP, I never put it together with that particular situation.
I like to double shine a lot when they are at low %s to cover that rock-back animation. It's also helpful for beating CCs.
Shouldn't staling be the same for doubleshining to cover up the leanback animation as just delaying your shine? I thought staling only happened if the move actually hits, and unless you get a phantom hit on the first shine when using the doubleshine to cover that situation up only one shine in both scenarios should hit right?
Shining someone never allows them to stay in one place. For a FF'er who is CC'ing, they would either rock back or topple onto the ground(or not go into the air very far but that's unlikely and wonky so I'm ignoring it). Basically, if the shine connects, then there is no reason to grab afterward unless they had time to get their shield up somehow.
They will either get knocked down (very low percents). Otherwise the d-air -> shine will combo (over 10% vs almost every char) and send them up normally. Unless you do a super high d-air then if they CC the shine then if their percent is high enough then they will still get knocked up but with half the knockback
