Dang. That was actually pretty good, tofer. XD

Guys, I've been playing around with B-sticking all day and it's actually pretty nifty.
Some characters get a nice little bounce to some of their moves if you hit back on the C-stick while moving. They face the same direction, but they pull back a little. Actually pretty cool for things like Yoshi's Egg Lay (Neutral B moves are hard as hell to do, BTW), Olimar's Whistle and Pikmin Toss, and Lucas's PK Fire (the bounce for this is actually pretty big; I kept getting pushed offstage when playing with it).
Also, pressing in the opposite direction on the C-stick while running turns you around and jumps without losing momentum. This means instant advancing Bairs or shifty retreating Fairs.

I'm trying to learn how to play with both regular smash sticking and B-sticking, but learning to airdodge to DI is getting annoying. T_T
I remember hearing something about the Japanese thinking that airdodge is better for DIing because apparently you can airdodge earlier than you can use an attack when hit. Going to look into that.

Oh, so you didn't get AIM to talk to me?
That hurts, Mike. Right in the area where my heart would be.

Yeah, first thing I wanna test when my arms have healed is Klaw Dropped B-reversed Firebreath, followed by Edge Cancelled Klaw b-reversed Firebreath.

I don't even know B-Sticking. But what I did notice is during my friendlies with Trela back from HoM2, the lag of the TV made me do a couple of Weird B-reverses which made me fastfall while still using the move in the same direction.
Not entirely sure if that's the B-Sticking you speak of, but for Egg toss we call it Wavebounced

Cloverleaf just discovered RAR!
EDIT: NVM, overlooked Slush's post.
I'll just stop talking and take this as a slight embarrassment before I inadvertently insult someone else. ^^;

Mike2, did you quit smash altogether or just going to tournaments?
Are you still going to come to smashfests?

Stop trying to lure our players into your van with candy, tofer.

Derp... I've been contemplating on getting an apartment by myself. But the idea of living in a Small house with a Random person sounds more appealing.
