you have to move after the shield....because otherwise they have to have spaced their attack perfectly to be rested...

basically, it's just a faster version of shield > rest.

it's not that good, powershield > attack is good but not that good.

Magus could do it 100% of the time and I just ran up and grabbed him :/

it becomes great if you can get an 80% combo off of it. ps laser -> laser + approach is niiiiice.
ps -> marths nair/fair is great. same with falcon.

dash into the lasers
messes up their spacing a bit and its easier and it closes the gap

yeah PS vs lasers is cool, but I think the discussion is just about PSing moves in general. imo if you're anticipating the move anyway you should ideally space yourself, rather than limit your options like that.

most of my falcons game revolves around shield spacing and trying to powershield against falco

once I get the right distance I'll use spaced n airs

doing both of these closes a lot of falcos options

me and shiftingshadows got a supersecret marth technique that we've only showed to yeniths and tamoo. U guys are gonna be blown away by it at the next london monthly ;)! new marth metagame ftw!
loool More crap im hearing about this secret marth technique when in reality it doesn't exist or is extremely uneffective lol.

IS this secret technique enough for you to say you think you could beat me....cos if not then it obviously isn't that effective....but if it is £20MM and best of 7 and you have to take only ONE game off of me???


Get bent tamoo, you think powershielding the gay way is revolutionary.

Also you think powershield rest is some kind of miracle.

In America, there are numerous people that can powershield everything to > attack on command. It's not nearly as good as you think.
This is kinda an EXTREME overexaggeration about powersheilding everything to attack on command, proof???

They might be pretty good on powersheilding specifics consistently but you're obv exaggerarting.

It will always be you I thought you had R.I.P. (ed? past tense) You definately deserve a hall of fame entry for your contributions to the UK marth metagame. Is your birthday feb 17th? If so THATS MINE GIVE IT BACK =p Aquarius...

On the powershielding debate I agree it would add a level to your game but I doubt its a game changer. IMO the best way to counter falcos laser approach is to just wavedash out of sheild towards them and go back to sheild to close the gap, should destroy their spacing, but your character needs a badass OoS game or you could jump OoS when your near enough.

BTW ny1 go down to london for the riots was gd ****. The highlight was some kids who threw the tear gas back at the ****ers while some blaring dubstep was played in the background. Was a little less violent than a night out at fabric, VIVA LA RESISTANCE!!!! Shame we lost the game, some serious bull****...

Ps. I know some secrets too, I found out a certain unnamed charater is fox in disguise sometimes, but you'll see in february.

wahone are you talking about phi?

i dont think its worth ur time comming fuzzyness' just to watch others play then get knocked off the tv after one game. only one tv... fuzz is there no chance you can get another? if its 1 tv there is a strong chance me and lewis will wake up late then decide its not worth it for 6 people to 1 setup.

would be cool to meet you though

They wait for you to approach, then unless you bait it they powershield.

If you sat down in training mode they'd powershield everything given warning. So yeah they can do it on command, you just have mindgame them out of it.

Why do you say it's an exaggeration?

It's not even that hard, I can do it if you're obvious. Like I could powershield a falcon punch 100% of the time, it's not hard to learn the timing :/

Oh right, well I played a few people that could do it, DoH and Magus.

They aren't like top players so I just assumed people could do it if they wanted.

theres a flight for £20 dude, and I got a prepaid card so I can book that for you with no fees

you're lucky cause me robby and sam had to pay about £50 :/ random last minute offers x_x

if you book without my help anyway you'll be paying £10 extra card fee so thats £30



unless you wanna be safe and divide it between all of us pay £42 each? but thats you willing to dish out £22 to be fair :s

you also need to book a coach/train to the airport


Adult
10.00 GBP
