Taj is the best Mewtwo (Ask Taj Stuff Thread)

[Taj278]

I don't like M2 dittos either. I never lose em, they're just annoying. Oh, and the punishes are actually very painful, maybe not to watch, but for the specific match-up because obviously... every percentage counts.

 

[KAOSTAR]

Lol, Taj I hope you aint losin m2 dittos. and yea I meant to watch, as far as excitement goes.

I feel like I wanna do something m2 related, but I dont know what to do or to talk about?

 

[ChivalRuse]

Approaching with DJC'ed fair is actually legitimate in M2 dittos. Lol

 

[KAOSTAR]

anybody like watching judge judy, the peoples court, or judge mathis?

random as hell

 

[ChivalRuse]

Judge Judy is fairly entertaining, but only because of her no BS attitude. I don't like the other judges that much.

 

[KAOSTAR]

so that kills that. I like most of them for the record.

does anybody(taj) kno if djc the WD is any different than a normal WD other than longer start up?

 

[Shadow Huan]

*returns from Wii* O.o i would say the start-up is the only difference. it's really kinda useless to DJC a WD. *shrugs* regular WD is faster therefore better.

lol unless you find something to do with it that'll revolutionize Mewtwo's game. >_<

 

[Milos]

you can move farther but i mean most characters can reach you before the wavedash if they see you jump.

marth - spaced fair
fox - running sh nair->shine or w/e
shiek - dash attack or dash cancelled d smash
falco - running sh nair or dair. dair leaves you grounded unless you tech which you prolly will cause you're about to wavedash so you're already pressing R/L and holding away so you'll tech away most of the time.

if you use it as an approach then it's like wtf why are you approaching...

 

[Clint_Eastwood]

So I lose my second jump after I do an up-air. I've tested this with almost every character... Is this normal or some kind of isolated glitch? I've been playing for like a year now assuming it was in every copy of SSBM, but I saw someone use their second jump after doing an up-air in a video. So now I don't know what's going on.

 

[Shadow Huan]

use the C-stick. same thing used to happen to me.

 

[Clint_Eastwood]

Ha... yeah... I just figured that out. Thanks anyway.

 

[Shadow Huan]

it's okay. lol. used to SD with flacon like that all the time. >_<;

milosssss i played smash at your house at ROM2 soo legittt we need to play again

 

[KAOSTAR]

Man **** it, Im just gonna go back to believing m2 is good

 

[Shadow Huan]

I wish he was too. he should be like top 5 he's freaking mewtwo =(

 

[KAOSTAR]

I never really thought about it, but Im trying to decide how to DI sheik's down throw. Ive always just kinda played and avoided grabs, but they do happen lol. I could probably survive a couple more times with the correct DI.

Im guessing its better to take the fair at higher percents, and try to smash DI that up and in. So that means probably DI the throw away, so you dont get uair and then smash DI the fair to survive.

At lower percents, probably better to DI away then smash the fair away?

Whats your thoughts on it.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Isn't F-air fast enough to hit them when you DI away and they have to chase you?

 

[Shadow Huan]

that might work, but your fair doesn't have as much reach as sheiks, and sheik's is just as fast with slightly longer hitframes. when it comes to a D-throw from sheik I usually try to Di away and down and then tech it away. you know, that tech trick where you can go across the stage practically?? sometimes it works out lol.

@ higher %'s DIing the throw up and out and trying to get out of reach might be an option. I'm going to be sparring the sheik in my area tomarrow maybe so I'll post my thoughts on that later.

you really don't want to get grabbed by sheik though. I know that's different in PAL but it really sucks for the version over here (I don't remember what it's called >_<)

 

[Jim Morrison]

I'm aware of Sheiks amazingly gay grab. Anyway, I'd say a F-air isn't that bad, instead of a regrab.
Also, could teleport work? I think if F-air does the trick, you can use teleport as well. If you have the room (FD) you can DI away and then teleport away and be pretty safe.

 

[Shadow Huan]

it's sort of iffy, depends on how fast the sheik reacts, because the teleport is a vulnerable move in the opening frames. one way or the other you need to get away. and seriously fair against fair isn't a good idea. you'll get the short end of the stick. sheik's out ranges yours. not as bad as marths but you know what i mean. get away and force an avenue for attack.

 

[KAOSTAR]

not gonna work,

I can sometimes fair out, thats kinda like fox upthrow upair. but thats pretty much if they mess up.

its an auto combo, and tele is 2222 slow.

 

[Taj278]

Kaostar- You're right, you always want to eat the forward air instead of the up air at higher percentage. DIing away is the best option. At low percentages you're better off DIing away too, because trying to cross up at all results in the sweetspot up smash or tilt combos.

 

[KAOSTAR]

sounds good, just thought I should check. Its obvious that other ppl dont have much of an idea for specific things like that so the discussion could help everyone as well.

why is m2 sooooo tight lol?

 

[Jim Morrison]

It's probably his voice and head. And tail. His feet and hands are also pretty cool. Actually, he's just cool like only Mewtw can be O_o.

 

[KAOSTAR]

M2 looks hella tight with a full charged SB.

I think Im gonna practice some technical **** to see if I get anything out of it. Personal satisfaction counts just in case its worthless lol.

 

[Shadow Huan]

mewtwo is probably the coolest looking character to play. he's very stylish, even moreso than sheik. he's got the moves and the tude; he is just to big and light and not powerful enough to back it up

 

[KAOSTAR]

ummm the word that describes sheik is gay, not stylish.

sheik uses nin***getry.

 

[Shadow Huan]

sheik uses martial arts moves. therefore she's stylish. people play her gay. there's a difference sir.

 

[KAOSTAR]

sheik uses martial arts and is still gay.

she takes something tight and makes it bad

 

[DelxDoom]

Forward's Sheik is stylish. Amsah's is stylish.

;D

 

[KAOSTAR]

Ive only seen amsah vs zhu, and it looked like he was playing sheik.

Ive only seen forwards sheik vs taj, and you probably guessed, I was watching tajs m2 not sheik

I think the only sheiks that are appealing to me are ones that sacrifice effectiveness for flashiness. Otherwise playing sheik is too easy. It just works and I hate that **** lol.

 

[Clint_Eastwood]

She's a girl pretending to be a boy. Sounds pretty gay to me

Oh... and stop talking about Sheik. Rofl. Not really the place for it.

 

[forward]

Lol I just read my first post in this thread and I thought, "what an appropriate introduction for Taj's advice thread."

 

[Jim Morrison]

Legit question: Today I was playing my friend's Falcon. I D-throwed him (basically any percentage would work between 20-90) and he kept teching it in place. Easy enough, I could regrab. However e few times he did tech backwards on FD or some big stage. I had no clue how to follow him. I just ran at him with a Dash Attack, but he could've EASILY shielded it. How do you follow up your D-throw when they tech away from you, WITHOUT predicting it (as in start to already run that way)?

Also, my Mewtwo is improving. Yay for keeping up to date =o

 

[KAOSTAR]

Predicting helps alot. So try to get inside your opponents head.

but simply WD back. If they tech away WD forward. If you are on point I dont think there is a character that you cant reach fast enough in this manner.

Fox generally will take 2 good forward WDs.


If you are closer to perfect in your tech chase you can do something like Djc a fair or nair.


*ur gonna want to just WD and tech chase tho, Grab if you can but most likely you will have to downtilt into something else depending on percentage.*

Work on longer WDs. You should be able to clear FD DL with 3 Dash wavedashes.

 

[ChivalRuse]

Sooooo ... Taj is amazing. :bigthumbu

 

[Taj278]

lol, thank you.

Hopefully you guys will be seeing more of my Mewtwo at future events. I'm going to try to give him priority over my Marth in singles at tournaments from now on.

 

[TheZhuKeeper]

Tajjjj, you should've gone Mewtwo against MacD!

I was cheering for MacD even though I think you maybe... should've won LOL.

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

Taj,


Cookies and Cream or Strawberry milkshake??


Haha.


I just watched your friendlies vs Lucky's fox/faclo from NSH and **** man, your Mewtwo is soo beast.

 

[Taj278]

Tajjjj, you should've gone Mewtwo against MacD!

I was cheering for MacD even though I think you maybe... should've won LOL.

Heh, thanks. I should've gone at that tourney. Oh well, maybe next time.
