I think that the Ice Climbers have by far the biggest "fear factor" in Melee.

Just to stir up discussion, what would people's opinion be on making the powershield window a bit more lenient like brawl's?

Doesn't have to be as lenient, but I did like that brawl had that as a viable defensive option and made me feel reminiscent of 3rd strike's parry system. I think making it just slightly more lenient for consistency in use would be interesting.

I was going to inb4 that but I figured people wouldn't be stupid and realize that even top melee players don't consistently do it.

People powershield lasers pretty consistently, but not other attacks. Shield Angling is much easier and way more applicable to a real match than Powershielding anyway, and Melee has a nice balance of pressure and defensive play that I wouldn't want to see skewed with an easier Powershield window.

Like in 3rd strike, projectiles are pretty easy to parry/powershield anyway because you see them coming all the time and are out on the screen for a while.

It's not like I'm suggesting to make it like you can powershield all the time, it would still require good timing, just make the window a tad more lenient so people that look for opportunities to do it actually have a more reliable option.

I mean look at 3rd strike (pretend chun-li doesn't exist) that game was pretty offensive in general and parrying wasn't exactly hard to do.

lol @ using a single person as a counterarguement.

not to say he isnt right @ top level powershielding consistantly, but lol @ that counterarguement. using a single person to prove something wrong/right is baaaad half the time.

To stay on topic. I wouldnt be against PS reflect being a frame or more lenient, but that's only because i'm not fond of projectile wars and projectile camping/turtling.

But then again, I play rushdown characters so of course I'm not a fan of that ****. LOL.

I prefer intelligent usage of projectiles, rather than mindlessly spamming them to stay away or force approaches.

I do recognize it's a playstyle, a rather legitimate one, and i do learn to beat it.

But god damn it that **** is not only more likely to be unappealing from a spectator's perspective, but it's very mentally taxing, and i am of the opinion it take's away from entertainment value.

you will rarely ever see projectile spamming *****s ever get cheered on.

Powershield direct attacks is better than it's ever been and doesn't really need any additional lenience.

I personally dont want normal powershielding to have a larger window considering how much better it is in P:M vs melee.

PS reflect tho...

my reasons are above. lol

If you want more people with better than 50% powershield ratio, then add Kels, Zhu, M2K and RockCrock just off the top of my head. Honestly most top players that say to themselves "I want to get better at powershielding" are really good at it quite quickly.

50% sounds like a gross estimate for all the ones you named.

The only one of those that I have noticed that pretty consistently does them is Zhu. Although I haven't seen any recent matches of rockcrock.

Jiggz just seems like a never ending circus of spam
