doesn't mean that Samus doesn't suck. Hugo's pretty good at this game.

Dear BigD/Scar,
The deoderant brand i've been using for the past 6 years is being discontinued. I went through an extensive process to find the one that's right for me (anti-persperant/odor/longevity/etc). Now that I have to find another, what active ingredients should be I be looking for in order to get the same high quality performance? I've heard that many companies sacrifice quality for fragrance, but I think this to be a myth. Also, what's the deal with stick vs gel? Thanks for your time.

Comboing sheik
I know there's more to the matchup than combos, but I need help. A friend told me that you combo sheik differently than other characters, using reverse uairs and other weird stuff. How true is this?
How good is CF at 0-deathing sheik? If he's pretty good at it, what are some 0-deaths I should be able to do on a lvl 1 cpu? I want to make sure my tech skill is good enough, I know most people DI.
When you grab sheik when do you want to dthrow vs. uthrow? Is the uthrow a chain grab with bad di? Do you know any % ranges for guaranteed followups from throw?
Finally, any good videos to help with comboing sheik?

Yea, there really isnt a penalty in guessing wrong. Just let some go and capitalize. Odds are that youll hit at least some of the time and just be prepared to **** from then on.
I think theres more penalty in reacting and then being too slow or early then simple guessing. But dont guess randomly, try to guess based on patterns.

Sheik's weight and falling speed are very similar to Marth's. If you're able to combo Marth pretty well, then you shouldn't have many problems. Dair has it's typical follow-ups (nair, uair, or knee, and usually nair/uair can lead into uair or knee depending on your opponent's DI). I'd personally downthrow sheik most of the time... upthrow -> uair/nair probably works for a while but I don't know. Falcon combos are more about improvisation as opposed to knowing percents for followups/combos like other characters. You just kinda get a "feel," for it after you have some experience comboing.
Big D, would you sign my controller?
Lol yeah but, ken/azen/drephen/dsf aren't around anymore...so there really aren't any marths or sheiks that know what they are doing in the match up...
other than M2k.
So there really is no excuse not to do well with Samus right now, no sheiks and marths should stop you.
theres still g$, tec0, m2k, vanz, jman, mango,
thats enough ... for me especially since thats all in my region LMFAO

drephen is still around, and considering hugs isnt around he wouldnt really know who knows the matchup these days
comboing sheik is pretty easy once you get it started but its hard to really get stuff started on her; grabs youll need to tech chase a lot of the time at low % off your dthrow. you can mix up up throws and dthrows and do a little chaingrabbing but thats not much to rely on. after about 30 or 40% you can uthrow uair, and you can uthrow knee later but i dont know the %'s
strong bad, i would if you were going to smym

Yo Scar! So i'm having trouble playing against spacies, I used to **** all the spacies that I play with but I'v lost my touch in the last few smashfests. I feel as if it's my techchasing cause it used to be on point but lately has been REALLY muddled down...... like if I Dthrow Fox I kinda wait if they tech, when they do I'm always to slow to continue the chase! If they don't tech they kinda lie and the ground......and wait....... seriously, it f*cks with my head..... I don't know if I should knee or wait longer, but by that time they're up........
What do you do when a space critter is set up for a techchase? I think I should dash dance...... but then again, I'm not Scar.

Well dark's notorious for sucking at teams so... this will be something to look forward to.

Genesis disagrees.. Darkrain/Cactuar 4th gg. That's not sucking.

idk dude it's pretty tough, the advice darkrain gave to me was like think of it as a 50/50 shot
they're either gonna tech in place or miss tech (in which case you stomp where they land)
or
they're gonna tech roll one way or another (in which case you react and regrab)
the point is you choose whether you're gonna try to react and regrab OR whether you're gonna stomp where they land as soon as you make the throw, so it's a 50/50 guessing game
also if you throw in a fB here and there, fB is pretty good b/c it covers tech in place and tech roll to a side. not against other CFs tho b/c then they will knee you
something to think about.

I think some people just want a chance to play you, and a MM is a sure way to get a match.
$200 doesn't happen with just a **** ton of $1-5 mms though, we're probably talking quite a few $10-50 Mms, which usually means you're pretty confident that you at least have a good chance of winning o_O
