Yes, we R.O.B. players always look for a Laser through the blizzard.
But you IC players don't realize it takes almost a half a second of startup to shoot those things. Then you have to charge it for a second afterward before you can fire it again.
So, it's not as easy as you think. Usually we just have to read you, run, turn and zap. Best when you're on the ledge.

i was at that point before the end of the last school year... i told myself that i would only play for fun until i had calmed the **** down. its only recently that i've gotten back into playing to win. i still enjoy FFAs from time to time, but i've started training to get my pivots down and to make sure that if i want to CG, i can. soon the nightmares will start and i'll have to just quit games till school starts....

Well, I'm done with my chaingrab training for the morning. Out of about 50 stocks I got...maybe 8 legit 0-Deaths on MK. -_- He's really the only character I can't chaingrab. I never miss Down Throw on him, but Back Throw is really irritating. Probably because I'm thinking negative. I dunno. Well, I've still got a week to go so maybe I'll get better at it. >_> At least it's for a good reason or whatever. I'm pretty determined to learn this.

Good thing I only play B+ IC, now, I haven't trained in a really long while, I bet I'd mess up with the third by the third fthrow>bthrow, lul. I'm practicing with dthrow>absorbing blizzard right now.

For some reason, Luigi is my worst matchup. Does anyone have as much trouble as I do with him?

Does anyone hate Ice Climbers on WiFi as much as me? I can't do the startup de-sync and when I do the Z-roll de-sync it takes an hour for me to start Ice Block >.>
And don't get me started with Chain Grabs on WiFi :cry:

You don't really have to do much, lol. Luigi is allergic to shields. Just shield grab him.

I'm pretty good with them on wifi, but better with them offline. -_- I hate how hard it is to CG sometimes.

How? Everytime i wanna stop my Ice Blocks and do Blizzard it ends up doing 50 more ice blocks and then I do blizzard and by that time I get hit :urg:
And Nana is even dumber on WiFi, she was fighting a Marth and she attacked in the wrong direction.
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in Nana's head.

Because Wifi has feelings sadly... And Nana is just stupid, so that's why she has Popo :3

btw Hylain now you love Pop Tarts? First it's Dr Pepper, I can understand the addication to Dr Pepper because it's Dr Pepper and it has imperial cane sugar which I heard from my friend over in Texas, but Pop Tart? 0.0 What's so good about it =O

I know how to power shield with both consistently >_>.
ummmm.... how? lol.

I can powershield with popo fine. Its just everytime I do nana explodes...

I swear my nana gets hit by EVERYTHING. I can stand somewhere with my shield up like half a second before I get hit and nana will fly away.

such a *****...

Also I can't practice ICs because my grab button is borken D:

It's just a poptart. I have no obsession with them. Not at all like Dr Pepper.

I just happened to be eating one.

I can CG everyone know, except for the man in green. :mad:
Since he's pretty light weight I tried going for some variation of the BThrow CG, but that doesn't work. Neither does DThrow > Fthrow.

Pop tarts are awkward, I tried it once and than I almost felt like vomitting it.. srsly it was that bad, but it's okay since I'm asian...

Also... is Luigi lightweight? If he is maybe a Dthrow to a Bthrow and pivot the Dthrow, it works well on MK for me. Dthrow to Fthrow is slower than a Dthrow to Bthrow.

I do buffered FThrow to BThrow on Luigi and other mid-weights.

Luigi? Hard to chain grab? o.O I've never practiced chain grabs against him, but he's just as easy to chain grab for me as Marth is, I just use the same chain grab on Luigi that I use on Marth (Buffer Bthrow > Fthrow, or whatever it's called)

How can I find it meep? Is there a vid thread in smashboards or anything?

Care for giving me an url or something?

edit: nvm, just search: lain fiction genesis in jewtube

second edit: Man, if lain wouldn't have self destructed that much OR missed his chaingrabs/hobbles, either way he would've won. Honestly.. lain > fiction.

I LOVED that grab at the beggining of the match.

Lain: You can grab wario again out of a grab release and also bthrow hobbling doesn't work very consistently on him. It's pretty easy to learn just the bthrow timing to turn around, or you can use that same CG I told you to use on snake to turn around.

Also, use nair a lot more vs wario. If you full hop uair and then do a FF nair it can combo into grab if you land it. SH FF nair will combo them into a grab off of their bike sometimes, and it's just a really good move to use against Wario. Replace a lot of your desynched blizzards and ice blocks with nair and bair walls and you will find wario have a much harder time hitting you.

When you grab him with single climbers and nana is running to you, don't throw him. Just sit there. He might not force the ground break which means you have a chance to grab him out of the grab release again. If he releases on the ground either roll away or run past him and pivot grab(they almost always either attack with fsmash right away or spotdodge).

I didn't make the weight list, I just copied it from somewhere. Could you link me the correct one?
I'll just switch things around.

I was hoping for M2K's weight list, and I'm pretty **** sure that R.O.B. is heavier than Captain Falcon.

Your join date was this month, and you know about the whole Fence ordeal?

Thank you for getting me the proper weightlist.
