Method 3: Use a keyboard with soft flattened keys and enjoy watching your opponents getting frustrated because you escape all their combos.

A friend explained to me his method of DI which is SOOOOO much better than the smash DI I used to do. He will hold the joystick in the direction he wants to go, then with his right hand he will basically shake the controller right and left (if he wants to DI up or down) or (easier) shake the controller up and down (if he wants to DI to the right or left). Once I got the hang of it, which didn't take much time at all since it's easy to implement, my DI effectiveness shot up.
Keyboards are dumb and not real smash, IMO.

Keyboards are not dumb because they are not a real advantage over controllers. You may be able to DI so well but you can't do some stuff with them since you have no analog stick. Example is immediate tilts or some other precision stuff. But at least no analog stick to get fúcked up like the if you mash the original controllerKeyboards are dumb and not real smash, IMO.

That's slide DI isn't it? He said if he wants to go right, he'll hold right and shake the controller up and down.
Fireblaster

Yeah but if you shake the controller sideways while tilting sideways you'll get good smash DI as well.

A good way to DI for me is to do it "arcade style" which works especially good for longer combos. During a combo I use my right hand and pinch the stick with my thumb and pointer, and slide the control stick fast in a certain direction. For smash DI, you can hold your pointer near the stick and just tap it repeatedly. Although its easier to DI left than right doing this, it's still pretty effective. I still use my thumb sometimes though to DI right.

Method #6
When trying to DI a difficult direction like up or down, hold the control stick with your left hand, using your thumb and pointer finger and then vibrate your hand

can shdl only be done with jumping straight up? I find it difficult to do shdl while jumping to the front/back.
Uh that's really common among good playershow is that not hack di? did u see the horizontal distance link traveled while falcon was up airing him?
I don't think you've played a lot of people

If you jump while holding a direction it's hard to do but still possible (has to be like frame perfect). However if you do the normal jump (jump without holding a direction) then you can move forward or backward in the air and still do it easily.

But if you did that I don't think you'd get anywhere, because you'd just be going back and forth, right?
Insane DI + super easy pivots are real advantages. Just like having more difficult tilts and in some cases harder control is a real disadvantage.

Keyboard = better defense
Controller = better offense
also pivots are easy to do on controller

He speaks the truth. Pivots are just a matter of practice on controller. Keyboard DI is absolutely ridiculous when you try it after playing console.
Indeed... That shows how bad the N64 stick is

Hey! The N64 stick is great... for the first week and a half

Can Ness's baseball bat reflect a pk thunder? If so, can you have two nesses replicate the effect that two fox's do with a pk thunder? Finally, why exactly does the game crash from two foxes reflecting a pk thunder back and forth...what mechanics cause this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I can DI very well (in some directions with the stick)
it's just that it gets ***** and my accuracy with pulling off correct moves decrease (but still DI's well)

gc controller sucks for smash imo
You play with a normal n64 controller? If so, how many sticks do you wasted? Just curious.

at genesis, me and SuPeRbOoM tried to open up the hotel's n64 controllers and steal their pristine analog sticks, but we couldn't find a screwdriver

actually sensei and I got a screwdriver and tried to open it, but the memory pack area was hot glued there so we couldn't get it open without breaking it lol. If you broke the n64 hotel thing it would of cost 30 extra dollars on your hotel bill =/

unfortunately if u wanna have good DI with a n64 controller you'll have to sacrifice it
Or maybe use a Hori minipad? I guess if they have the same stick as the Gamecube... it looks like it

Add this tech to your list:
Shield Dashing - Quicly tap the control stick in one directing and press Z. You will start the initial dash and slide across the ground while shielding. DON'T press Z immediatly after the inital dash because you will role. This tech works best with Captain Falcon.

The secret socal technique
I think its best with Fox because his initial dash is even faster than Falcon's, but reasonably useful for almost everybody

I use that tech alot as well. Best counter to a singing puff. It even lets you get a Luigi taunt against her.

You need a counter to a singing puff?

Not exactly...
In my location, there's alot of 'weaker' players (a few good, but alot of 'weaker'), so I can use sing as puff and easily get away with it (with them asleep), leading to rest combos. They decide to flip the coin and try to use sing against me, hoping for the same results. I simply shield the sing with Luigi, then hit them with taunt. They then are completely confused to how I was able to use taunt against them while they were singing (wasn't I supposed to fall asleep?), and makes them feel like a fool to get hit by Luigi's taunt.
It's a fun trick I do to people when I use excessive sandbagging. Believe me, there's a whole bunch of lol-worthy stuff I get away with... since they don't know how to counter it. They try exactly the same thing, and I punish them in a demoralizing or messed up way lol.
They know it's all for jokes, so no hard feelings after the match... just laughs
