'shrinkage ensues':urg: Anyways....

Is doing up-b OoS a bad idea?
If your opponent is super spot dodge happy.


I do it against opponents that I have trouble punishing their spot dodge... Diddy,ROBS,sometimes DDD.

But really a jab combo basically does the same thing and is safer.

Another quick question (ty btw), at the end of TL's up-b, are there no hitboxes present? You know when he does that final slash? For some reason I can never grab the edge when someone's on it, bear in mind their invincibility frames ARE gone.

Santi...you know I can't resist...there will be leg rubbage at FS5. :x
Lol.

I'm still trying to think of your weaknesses...
and Im blank.

You honestly ***** me when you stopped relying on camping (Like when you would get a little behind) and you started being aggressive and glide tossing and getting in my face.

So maybe one would be, relying heavily on camping and letting it take away from the other aspects of fighting.

Everything else you seemed to do right. You played very smart and adapted very well after losing the first match.

Yeah, that's something I definitely learned against you. Can't outcamp you when you're in your comfort zone. Mid-Range is TLink's realm. : (

What do you do against aggressive ZSS's? Armor clinks with your projectiles, and GlideToss to SideB/Usmash is . . . well good vs TL. Seriously what do you do. . .

There are no hit boxes on the back of TL's up-b in the air. otherwise, there is a hitbox.

LOLZ A bit of a generalisation there maaate, but it's true, it's all true! *Sob*

There are some good Australian players though.
Yeah I guess I was being a bit general, but it's the same in other areas of competition such as sport. USA has a higher population so they generally are better at most things then us (on a general scale).

Of course there are always going to be specific or small scale exceptions ;)

Thanks for the reply. Just a few more questions if I may.

What are your thoughts on:
Snake - freaking Ftilt combo
Pit - I hate him
D3 - Chaingrab, heavyweight.

Also, I apologize if some of these were already asked.

I play Keep away pretty much.
ZSS can **** midrange too and she does pretty good close range with her Jabs and such.
Her long range is what her weakness is since she has no decent shooting projectile except her armor.
But when you play long range it's pretty easy to see the armor coming.
Shield and then Nair out of shield to catch the armor.

That's when I approach with Zair/Armor/ Nair combos.
I nair after my armor throw incase they shield it, then I can grab it again.

So against super aggressive ZSS'z , I woul try retreating and creating space then closing that space when you have the upper hand.

Snake's Ftilt range is insane but perfected spaced zair can keep you safe. (Easier said than done)

Pit- is very stupid. I hate playing spammy stupid pits then hang on the ledge and run out the clock. Pit is def one of my pet peeves.

DDD- Bombs and jumps are your friends =)

He has more range.
Faster attacks.
Can cancel all of our projectiles.
Can catch our bombs with his fair and cancel our other projectiles.
Then also beats us on the ground with sword dance.
Beats us off the ledge.
Can **** with platforms.
Roy_R is sick nasty and makes me deathly afraid of Marth =)

EDIT: I aslo approach Oli with Nair then pull back with quickdraw.
EDIT#2: Mithx. Bring it =) I'll play Charizard after so we can have an epic Godzilla VS King Kong match :D

Cute=innocence

Adorable eyes, great smile and teeth, and a personality that glows.

Body... perfectly proportional. Too skinny is a turn off and leaves you nothing to cuddle with and hold on to.
Plus when they're too skinny... it takes away from other areas. ;)

EDIT: Also add to your notes... hair. Omg long silky hair is sooo amazing :D

Your get all that Sasuke? =)

Yup yup!
Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't like really skinny girls. =)
Nice eyes > all.

Nice lips are always good too.


Also, silky = straight??
This is crucial.

Good. Yea, girls don't need to be all skin and bones. That's gross.
Eyes are very important.

And lips are important too. They go with smile. You must analyze those early on with the smile and teeth to see if they will feel good.


Silky= Usually straight/wavy.

People think I'm a fan of blondes, but honestly brunettes are what I crave :D

True, true.

Teeth usually aren't a problem. As long as they look of and uhh "feel" ok, its all good.

I like wavy. Especially when its like, dark brown at the roots and lightens up near the tips, you know?
Thats the beest.

Short hair works for some girls, but just some. But it works very well. =P


Dude, brunettes. **** yeah.
I think I'm blond isn't high on my list. Black comes before blond in my mind.

Yea short hair makes them look young most of the time.

Ahh mine is reversed. She has lighter roots and it gets darker toward the tips.

[lol me coming from nowhere]

So are you a chubby chaser?

Or do you just like skinny curvacious girls?

EDIT: I definitely prefer skinny girls over chubbies though. I like girls that weigh less than me. It's a weird thing. But I weigh like 126. Anything over is a bit of a turn off.

Lol. If only you knew. No, I'm not a chubby chaser. I just don't like girls that way 100 pounds.

I guess skinny curvacious would be a good description.
