SSBM "Cheap Moves"

[Discolicious]

I watched this video and competitive melee finally made sense to me. You only need to watch to about 2:50 to get all the info you'll ever need.

some sick combos include falcon side b to up b as well as d-throw shine with falco to air shining

 

[MBreeto]

I watched until I saw that it said edgeguarding (Doctor Mario's cape) was cheap, then I stopped.

 

[I.B]

I watched until I saw Doc, then quickly realized that "Cheap moves" and Doc don't go together.

 

[rehab]

On the bright side that mewtwo thing was a little creative.

 

[Skrah]

I hope this is a joke...

 

[BL!TZ]

It is. No wait, you mean the video? No it isn't.

Scrubs are funny
Especially the ones that suck

BUT SHINE IS SO CHEAP. IT COMES OUT IN 1 FRAME!

I kid. Except it does come out in 1 frame.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

get out.

get. out.

 

[slartibartfast42]

There is no such thing as a cheap move or tactic in a fighting game unless it's 100% impossible to get around and breaks the game to the point where that is the only viable option. There isn't anything like that in melee.

Also, I stopped watching at yoshi... Wow that was dumb. And the person who made that video sucks.

ahh secret messages are cool....

cheap moves normally take more skill than people think i cmon who else can spam down on there c-stick, name a game on the cube you can play like that :D

 

[victra♥]

huh. That mewtwo one was neat.

 

[Bets]

This is like the video "So Brawl Doesn't Have Any Tech Skill?"

 

[demodemo]

too bad it wouldnt work with FF on :\

when he got to the dthrow > chargeshot i was like "wow, finally something that actually might work", but then he messed up. hahaha i couldn't stop laughing

 

[KevinM]

I liked the old Fall out Boy music :\

 

[otg]

"Kirby is actually the cheapest character if you're good with him like 'yours truly'... observe!"

 

[Geist]

I cry inside when people say the word cheap.
Then I pick Shiek and needle camp.


When will all the scrubs stop complaining? THEY DON'T EVEN USE THE WORD GOOD ANYMORE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
*sobs*

 

[DtJ Jungle]

oh. i use falco and laser camp.

ultimate 'cheap'

but this guy is so right! ssbm is so cheap!

brawl youa ctually have to do stuff!

did you know there slike 09253095823 ways to ledgecamp!

 

[KirbyKaze]

basically pick any move on the top tiers and now you have a cheap move.

with some small exceptions like sheik's f-smash or marth's u-smash.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

i heard fox's upsmash isnt any good too

tru?

 

[Geist]

I bet you could use any one move on these kind of people, and if you're winning, it becomes cheap.

 

[Binx]

That vid was terrible, but honestly the definition of cheap depends on your skill level, when your really bad marth's forward smash is cheap, when you sort of bad, peaches down smash is cheap, when your bad falcos down air is cheap, when your not good, fox's shine is cheap, when your good though, nothing is cheap... except M2K lol. JK

 

[KirbyKaze]

idk I think I'm pretty alright and I openly state how I feel about Falco's Dair.

And Jigglypuff's Down+B.

And other moves with... questionable sexual orientation.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

i think fox is a cheap move

 

[slartibartfast42]

All those combos the pros use are so cheap. Seriously, they're all memorized in training mode and take no skill at all once you've practiced. If the pros would just play the normal way I could probably beat them.

Spoiler

obviously joking

 

[Stratford]

Falco fsmash. Not that "cheap" in terms of in game effect, but nothing will make your opponent want to quit more.

 

[TheReflexWonder]

I called it three years ago.

"The metagame is going to peak at a Jigglypuff that knows how to Rest incredibly well (among the standard spacing and edgeguarding)."

I feel like my theory is slowly coming into fruition.

 

[DarkPhase]

Most of that stuff doesn't work on real players (or ones who know how to play SSBM). And shine/ doctor marios cape are not cheap. The only thing your right about is that Peach's turnips are really annoying

 

[Teczer0]

I like how it said that Kirby is the cheapest character then it took them 1 minute to set up the "cheap strategy" on a cpu.

Clearly the most broken of all characters is kirby.

Peach's turnips were HILARIOUS LMFAO.

She was throwing turnips at YL and half of them bounced off his WOODEN shield. Peach's turnips are so annoying that 50% of the time, they do absolutely nothing to Young links that stand in place.

 

[Smo]

Hahaha, I'm surprised Fox's down throw after a dashgrab at the edge of the stage didn't make it on here

 

[Stratford]

Not against someone that knows how to meteor cancel.

 

[NES n00b]

Not against someone that knows how to meteor cancel.

Most of these moves in the vid don't work anyway.....so that wouldn't be an exception.

Pretty sure darkrain beat Hungrybox at TO4...

[turtlecake]

how about pound 3

 

[Corigames]

I left a comment on the video.

I'm that cool.

Right?

 

[Zeonix]

Video could have had a lot more potential. Like putting in some infinites. But I guess this guy couldn't do any of them....

Infinite? In my Melee?
It may be more likely than you think.

 

[Discolicious]

lolll i just noticed at the end "The characters I excluded do not have cheap strategies"
