I'm going to simply recycle "If we're talking high level play,
LOL.
fair oos is a poor option to counter laser approaches in that it gives falco an opportunity to fight the fair right back. As soon as marth does a properly spaced WD back, falco's offensive momentum is cut such that most of the time it's just the better option. ultimately when marth wants to avoid the **** he should do so optimally, giving your opponent chances to capitalize on you is what makes bad play in the first place.
Chu and I were sitting in his room a few weeks ago and I wanted to point out one of his common habits, when he just started watching the videos and said something to the effect of, "wow, I was really, really good." since then like he'll go to a tournament and do well or I'll play other "melee" people that still play and we'll both beat them pretty badly, but as far as I know chu won't really play melee anymore outside of free $ at tournaments and he won't really talk about it if you ask him to, and neither of us practice. I really don't know why either of us still beats all of these "I've improved!" players. It does kinda reinforce my theory that most improvement is largely overstated though.
Actually, no. marth doesn't want to "bait" anything outside of basic DD or 2nd jump. marth is such that your goal is to pressure with the threat of something to force poor movement that leads to an auto-checkmate situation. in this way, his pressure can be extremely subtle and very much opposes modern viewpoints in that you don't want to attack to pressure. that isn't to say he shouldn't attack, and often the safety game he forces can create surprise approaches by themselves. If you want to see what melee marth is supposed to look like, this is probably the most obvious example I can think of.
Usually smash is just about what you can and can't do. If you can't come back to the stage 4 times for whatever reason you lose. Thus, the better characters aren't the ones with more options, but instead the characters that are the best at shutting down the useful options of others. So long as this exchange does not change, neither does your skill level because skill in this game is relative in nature.
..."not quite"...
Oooh. That sounds exciting...."not quite"...
I will post the epic video.. I have vs Axe's Falco... (not uploaded yet) yoshi's interesting way to stop falco...
quoted for truth
oh because your marth is so much better? oh, or was it your fox?umbreonmow
neglecting the evolution of super smash bros melee since 1874
since 2006 ish i suppose. since i was responding to someone else, the time frame was implied. my bad.
ron is an up and coming puff player
haha made me laugh quite a bit. good **** @ both players lol.
not really. the best way to win is to remove the options from your opponent one way or another. nothing's really different.
You are INDEEED correct, that he can't... TRULY.. defeat it.. however there are precisions methods, IMO that aren't quite tapped yet, that can cut down... "or at least" limit the blind Diar approach...well, all i know is that yoshi truly cannot beat falco's dair and i know from experience
