sadness T_T

[Jumin]

i love smash and a kirby player, and i know that he's top tier usually competing for the number 1 spot with pikachu..

well i got a sad story !!

last year was my second year in college and i was living with 6 other buddies off campus.
one of them happened to have an N64 and Super Smash!!! i was so happy...
I was also the best in the house (though it's relative since i'm terrible with every single other character)

I guess i'm stuck in a rut or i'm just really rusty now, but this year i decided to live with another friend and with no smash all summer long and no smash in my current house, my skills have deteriorated

but that's not the sad part...

the other day i went and visited my old housemates and they freakn destroyed me with every character. it was ridiculous. i was missing all my spikes and edge guards and i always had the least amount of KOs... my old housemates said i used to be their idol, but i guess the student has surpassed the teacher (and i wasn't even that good... after reading some other threads on the board, I realized that in my prime i was beginning to reach level 4 )

well i love kirby and wish i had an N64 and super smash to practice on.. I've also watched the few videos that Isai has of him playing kirby and i've been trying to replicate his moves but my timing is all off

my main thing i've got to work on his to dodge their throws... and their uairs.. jesus christ it's annoying.

get project64

 

[Jumin]

eh... will it be able to run well on a laptop?

 

[Kentalish]

yea dude and u play online with other people

 

[JaimeHR]

What kind of Laptop? one with a Core Duo will run Smash just as smooth as 3D Pinball xP.

This is why you don't use kirby. You get used to how broken and cheep he is you don't want to leave him. Later on your friends get better with there character and they **** you. I really recommend switching.

 

[Thino]

oh snap you edited

 

[Platypus]

A ROM won't allow Strong Attacks. BTW.

Wtf are you talking about?

 

[Jumin]

but i love kirby...
i've started to pick up pikachu, but lack of practice leaves my pikachu to really suck.... love his fair and bair though

 

[Thino]

u should just play ur friends more often , watch some more videos , seriously who didnt go thru the "kirby level" before being good?

 

[Jumin]

actually... my housemates never played played kirby as their main... haha one is pika and is also comboing with ness and the other is falcon player

Broken characters ftw? jk, Kirby is, a cheap character, but can be abused easily I dont know why but kirby players dont annoy me >_> Probably because fox kills kirby at really early %'s just get project64k and get a SSB ROM and get an adapter for your N64 controller and your all set to play online, o yea and make sure to get peer2peer, it really reduces input delay which helps console players alot when playing online.

 

[Surri-Sama]

Man you dont need to swich chars, these folks are just **** talking kirby because kirbys give them a hard time, my friend Dedrick would own them with his kirby so ya, anyways my advice would be to get Project64K go online and play lots of people, also go in the training mode and practice combos on all the other different chars. If you happen to find yourself using Kriby's Fsmash alot, STOP or you wont get better.

 

[hambread]

get vids. and then post them. and ppl on the board will guide you step by step until you own them.

or get an emulator.

 

[NF Alex]

Agreed with everyone else here. Get the emulator + ROM, buy an N64 controller adapter, play people online a lot and you'll be kicking *** in no time.

 

[greenblob]

1. Get PJ64k or Mupen64k.
2. Buy a N64 controller and USB adapter.
3. Play online.

 

[Surri-Sama]

I think we've all established that you need to play online to get better in a drastic way..unless you want to go on tour and play people all across the world

 

[ShoeThief]

Are you playing free for all? Whoever wins in ffa isn't based on skill, so don't feel sad there. Also they're probably only better than you because you're out of shape (meaning get back into it). if you are in shape now then just practice to be better than them. Do you already do advanced techniques? If you don't then practice those as well.

 

[Jumin]

i never heard of z-canceling till i found these forums.. haha
but my timing is still off for it. is it the same timing as z-teching?
the only tilt i use is up tilt. side tilt and down tilt i never do unless on accident.
i think im decent with DI though.
i guess i just gotta practice practice practice! ... on my non existent n64 =P

 

[greenblob]

Wait... you're already good at DI?

Anyway, after you managed to set up Kaillera, you should go straight to practicing combos.

 

[l0telephone0l]

Kirby's dtilt is really great as an edgeguard against people who don't know how to DI into the ledge.

 

[Surri-Sama]

LOL rock makes a better edgegaurd then Dtilit

 

[greenblob]

Rock is too slow and sends the opponent up. Dtilt, if you tipper it, semi-spikes.

once you know the maximum amout of time your a foes char can stay airborn rock is waaaaay better then Dtlit, Dtilt is more about luck then timing becuase its so akward but rock, rocks fall....fast taking out anything in its path

 

[Rupus]

No, Down B is quite possibly the worst move to edgeguard with. Dtilt is MUCH easier to time, with rock you have to make sure you don't miss, or you can get punsihed hard after a ledgehopped attack.

If Dtilt fails, you can just shield.

Anyway, if Dtilt is too hard to time, I suggest just using Dsmash, even though it can be DI'd into the edge.

 

[Surri-Sama]

Edittted

yes if you miss its terribul, but thats like saying never use falcon punch ever its slow..duh much

For Edgeguarding mario, luigi, and DK i think rock works quite well

 

[greenblob]

Down B works only if the recovery is predictable. By predictable, I mean, brain-dead, always the same, will practically run into your attack predictable. And that was an understatement.

Falcon Punch edgeguard sucks too. Falcon Punch=situational combo finisher.

 

[Zantetsu]

yes if you miss its terribul, but thats like saying never use falcon punch ever its slow..duh much

No its actually like choosing to use a fast move or slow move with the same power. Of course you would use the fast one.

 

[ShoeThief]

stone sends people up, which is the opposite of the direction you want. dtilt is much more easier. even if you can use stone there a many better attacks you can edgeguard with. you lose, for the 3rd time

wow some one had piss insted of milk in their cerial this morning, anyways try to use Dtilt to stop mario/luigi's third jump and tell me how it goes, wait nvm i allready know >_>

it goes ok, overall, dtilt owns rock for edgeguard

 

[Thino]

Dtilt is more about luck then timing becuase its so akward

Falcon Punch edgeguard sucks too.

guys... share your drugs with me , I wanna be high too

 

[Surri-Sama]

lol overall i guess Dtilt is a better edge gaurd for most recoverys, but i still think if used correctly Rock works well to, and plus its hella cooler then Dtilt

 

[Umbrasquall]

Rock is one of those, "oh look I'm about to 5 stock you", moves.

 

[hambread]

rock=win against masterhand

 

[Jumin]

eh... i never rock anymore, but i've seen some vids where it's a combo finisher

 

[greenblob]

Drills>rock on the Hand.

 

[hambread]

rock>all of hand's moves. yes, even immunity to the shieldbreaker one

 

[Surri-Sama]

Yeah, you dont use the rock to attack the MH you mearly use it to defned, then go to drills, why do you think MH banned kirby from his "event"
