I just got 4 stocked multiple times online by dirtboy and his squirtle. I'm definitely giving up DDD post Aftershock.

SO MUCH BULL****. I can't throw waddles, I can't shield, I can't grab, I can't even aerial. its so ****ing stupid.

hell, I can't even bair him if he crosses me up because he so short.
Stop sucking

DDD destroys Squirtle

Literally all you have to do is be like "Oh, he's gonna be there in two seconds, let me throw out a hitbox/grab"

That moment when you create a name for your character in a game and inadvertently created a name shared by an NPC character and it becomes super confusing. That happened to me not that long ago.

Why Fantasy Life. Why you do dis to me.

do you think I'm ********? I played him for over 2 hours and won 1 game. this isn't a matter of just throwing out a hitbox or waddle.

It literally is.

The problem with people is that they dont realize all it takes to stuff any of Squirtle's approaches is just seeing where he's gonna be and putting a hitbox out for him to fling himself into

Plateprop that's the stupidest advice you can give for any matchup. What if the squirtle just waits for him to put out a hitbox and then punishes the endlag? That's just how a huge level of high level smash plays out, you safely pressure someone with positioning until they get nervous and try to stop your approach with preemptive hitbox. You just have to wait a little longer than that and you win neutral. Alternatively they can approach from an angle that your hitbox doesn't cover. Not many characters have sheik's ftilt or zard's jab. Not only do you have to predict WHEN they approach but also how. Meanwhile they can kinda just wait.
If there's any character that can threaten with position, it's the character with the longest SH approaches in the game- squirtle

I can't just throw out random stuff because if I miss I'm guaranteed to take like 80%. that and his short hop bubble outranges my f-tilt. and if I full hop fair to try and beat him, he can full hop bubble and beat me there

I didnt say random.

I said predict where he's gonna be and put a hitbox there.

Maybe try turning around so that he hits the back of you when he crosses up and abuse your huge ass grab range

**** man, you literally have all the tools to destroy the character, but you'd rather just complain about it

Duh, squirtle is always bad, like do you even tier list thread
Dont you ****ing lie to people about Squirtle being good
Shokio stop spreading lies about Squirtle being good against ZSS
No, how good you are with Squirtle is directly proportional to how much determination you have
So I realized today that Squirtle is basically a Shounen protagonist
No one can be taught Squirtle, it is something one must do for themself
Plz stop putting Squirtle in a tier that's not bad
Pls, you haven't played a terribad charavter til you play Squirtle
I just came here to tell you all that Squirtle is the worst character in the game, resume tier listing
...I've realized that being a squirtle main means that no one can teach me how to play any characters. I have to do it all myself ;-;
That's because every Squirtman must go through the trial of learning things on his own. Cant be a Squirtman if you aint a self taught Squirtman
Every time I see posts about Squirtle I think:"Damn, everyone is just so ignorant of this character."
Sadly most Squirtle heretics only use side b alldayerryday...
...i dunno
playing squirtle is pretty brutal sometimes
especially when I have to beat people with a bad character
it feels too good
For the love of god Plate.

is zss also a masochistic character because I think I'm going to start playing her rather than luigi

then again luigi is also p masochistic because he hurts my hands because I clench too much while wavelanding

and I also play wario but wario is kinda unfulfilling I either get my butt handed to me by a mid level shiek but then poop on a much better falco player simply because of dsmash into side b tech reads and wario's ability to poop on falco offstage
when I lose it feels like I can't do **** and when I win it just feels like I didn't do anything

**** I don't even play wario that much I play luigi more because he's more fun (and luigi is melee so I end up playing him more often because no pm friends) but I'm better with wario blehhhh

I just want to git gud with lazor boots emi zss and call it a day

You do realize that this thread is a place I let out frustrations/joke around right?

I mean there's a reason squirtle makes you a masochist, to even stand a chance with all the bad MU's you have to grind them so damn hard it's like you're forcefully flinging your body into brick walls for days on end.

Edit: Or live somewhere where people are bad and dont ever learn mus. But that's only if you're lucky.

what did I just say? did you even read?

I read where he was going to be multiple times and sling shot bubble outranges me.

and turning around was literally the fist thing I did. too bad squirtle has enough mobility to stop on my back so I can't grab him OR bair him.


youre treating me like I'm a dumbass who can't think or implement these simple strategies to beat this character when they don't work in the first place

You've been saying it for the past six months though.

Not dissing, I just never really found it funny.
You dont have to find it funny man, it's not for you, its for me.

Kinda hard not to, seeing as you cant win an advantageous MU

(He came to say it himself LMAO)

what if he doesn't go there
and then you get zero to deathed for throwing out a hitbox/grab
I mean, the only way Squirtle can change direction out of a super rar or ss jump is straight up because they jump again, or backwards because they withdrawed, so it's not really like you cant tell where he's gonna go

Edit: fixd

honestly I hate playing as or against ganon

either I get people with side b to down b which I know is actually a thing but it seems so cheesey I hate it
or I get killed by it myself

ganon feels so clunky but with absurd moves tacked onto him in a vain effort to make him not terrible

I believe it is only your first Bday on the site. I mean it just became my Bday like an hour ago for me and I haven't been notified of anything yet. But I think I do recall it happening to me last year.
Oh okay, neat. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to me

i bet you're not wavelanding everywhere. awful ganon
he feels marginally better when I do that but it still feels like I have to cater what I want to do to the character

the best analogy i can think of is driving a skidsteer as opposed to driving a regular front turning car
you can do the same thing and sometimes do it better but it feels so unnatural and you have to do so much more weird positioning and moving around to get to a place where you could just point and go in a normal car

this is what draws me to zss tbh she feels like I can do anything. her limits are easily noticeable but they dont feel real they just feel like something I can work around. they're not frustrating they're just a given
like how a car is confined by physics but you can work around that by manipulating tire grip and drifting and et cetera

I will accept any Squirtle's MM at Aftershock. I've actually gotten the impression that Dedede wins the MU if the player is familiar enough with the Squirt, and would like to test that.
EDIT: And to clarify, I main Ivysaur and Dedede.

Judging from my quick searches on Machiavelli.CF.

He spends his time being productive in the Ivysaur sections and in region threads.

Couple of miscellaneous things. and he only posted 34 times in 2014.

In fact, his last social thread post was in the old project M social thread in 2013 and judging from the contents of that post he wasn't PMBR back then.

The post he made above is also his second post in 2015

he's probably done such shady, villainous things like actually winning tournaments and playing the game off the forum instead of arguing all day

I've never been e-frisked like that before; that felt weird.
But yeah.. as people can see, I haven't been active on Smashboards in a good long while, but I've been very active in my region's tourney scene, the Socal PM facebook group (which I admin), and in the dev room. Socal is very under the radar, and 90% of our tourneys go unrecorded/unstreamed, but you're going to see myself and a lot of our family at Aftershock. We'll be sure to put on a good show for everyone.
