I like to ride the lightning on thunder edge guards. Playing footsies is hilarious because in my experience, whoever lands the first dtilt goes in hard.
Just hanging right outside the hitbox on both scenarios. It's so awesome.

You ever get into a series of skirmishes with a Pikachu at close range, and none of your attacks land? I think Prime and I did that once for like ten seconds. DBZ crap.

Sometimes if they let the thunder hit them and you manage to hover around, it's a free bair or fair. It's hilarious. :applejack:

we did that in a couple matches, but instead of all the attacks missing, it was just us SDIing out of everything and punishing

there was also 4 seperate occasions where I would try to either back throw him into a wall and would tech and immediately nair me, or i would try to down throw him into a wall and he would tech that and immediately down smash me.

I was impressed and saddened at the same time.

punishing thunder jolts is also very anime, like in DBZ budokai 3, if you shot the regular kai blasts while the other guy was running at you, they would just bounce off him. Thats what it feels like when he does a full hop jolt, and i run from the other side of the stage, powershield it, and immediately keep running to hit him with a grab fair or dash attack.

p.s. dash attack is an amazing move and everybody should use it more. but only at %s and timings that dont get you punished for it.

YES.
Punishing full hop jolt. Just yes.

I can DI out of dsmash fast enough to set up a fsmash now. I get hit with it often. Does suck when you get caught right before it ends and pop straight up.

Dash attack is amazing. If you hit with the very first part of it and you were at pretty much point blank range when it started, you can get away with it at even lower percents than usual. The closer you are when it starts up and connects, the better the chances are that you won't get punished.

Dash attack > dash away > fsmash was one of my favorite things to do back in 09. Still works sometimes. :applejack:

Im still the only person ive ever seen that shields an entire pikachu down smash consistently.

espy, if you go back where I told you and go a page back youll find some really cool dash attack stuff. but it actually requires you to hit with the very end of it.

I've done it plenty of times to Prime. It's a free fsmash since his dsmash takes five years to end.

Dash attack is amazing.
I'm glad that you both have come to this realization.
It's amazing when buffered in so many boxing situations, close range its unpunishable, and at max range(which is pretty far away mind you) if you shield it's difficult to punish without a hard read.

The thing about the low damage of the move is that if you use it right, it sets up for powershielded aerials you can punish and airdodge punishes

The result of the 2012 election.



Throwback from Tenki, if memory serves.

This is completely relevant.

So I was being told that matchup things are starting up, since they always need to be... But anyways who is a part of the Sonic Matchup junk? And is there a possibility for me to be on that matchup stuff?

Espy should (or will) be posting a thread about it soon since he's our panel leader. From there you can apply to be one of the panelists but there's only 5 slots available. I'm assuming it's gonna be Espy, KID and uhh....?

What happened to BAM.

As of right now, its only the two of us, cus we came to the conjoined conclusion that we dont really see anybody else as experienced or motivated enough to it. i was actually going to ask meek, but i already know dude would be wayyyyy too lazy for that mess.

It's not a good sign when we have the same number of panelists as Ganondorf. (I'm assuming the Dorf panel is DLA and Verm. Could be more. IDK. Didn't see a thread.)

I cant tell if thats suppose to be a combination of box-abilities or boxob possibilities.

Holding side-B against Cheese until he quits.
This is my escape
I'm bairing through this world
And I'm not looking back

'Cause I know it can stale
Like no move's ever staled
And I'm not looking back

But how will I know when I land bair?
And how will I know when to down-b?
We've all got to start from somewhere
And It's just bair for me
The boxobilities are never ending


I see it, I see it
And now it's all within my reach
Endless boxobility
I see it, I see it now
It's always been inside my feet
And now all matchups feel so free
Endless boxobility

And so we'll carry on
My time to bair has come
I feel it

As fast as I can go
Steak to the top I'll go
You'll taste it
(You'll taste it)

So please cook my steak medium rare
And leave plenty of A1 for me
I know in my heart that it's my time
And I already see
The boxobilities are never ending

I would be motivated enough to take part, but I don't have nearly the amount of experience required for such an endeavor.
