I was a noob back then, but I always played Pkmn Trainer or Lucario.
He was my secondary but I only played him because of Charizard. I was still decent with the other 2 though so it'd be cool if they make it back in.
I would have played Ivysaur over Charizard if it was in the game. Charizard was obviously the 2nd best choice and his moveset fits the character so much better now. I was never a fan of Squirtle, but PT was an awesome character to play. Too bad it was so bad.
I know I'm not quite worthy since Charizard is a secondary (it competes with WFT and Mario for co-main status), but I also used Pokemon Trainer in Brawl for the first half of its competitive lifespan. Unfortunately, I was impatient with his gimmick and I started using R.O.B. more. Unlike most PT mains, I gave equal time to every Pokemon, since I didn't see relying only/mostly on Squirtle as a working formula. One day I was participating in a Wi-Fi tournament and gained a huge lead as Squirtle then was KO'd early (by a fire attack no less; it was Falcon's forward smash) in a match, and had my last two stocks destroyed and ended up losing the set 0-2. It was after that tournament that I switched to R.O.B. and got stronger results.
I used Trainer a decent amount. Didn't use him too much because I didn't like Squirtle, but I used him a decent amount in friendlies. I wouldn't trade Zard, Charizard was my favorite among the 3. I really liked Ivysaur too (Ivy4Smashpls).
Rock Hurl is the Anti-Air version of Rocksmash.I've recently been picking up on Charizard for custom matches, 'cause I want to play someone who isn't Villager.
So what's your guy's opinion on Rock Hurl? I've been getting mixed feelings about it but it's been working for me pretty well.
We had one in the beginning. It died in about a week and any efforts in reviving it have been futile. You are free to try though, I fully support a skype group.
just check around the zard forums their are plenty of places to find good zard info. You can even find stuff on zard in forums that you wouldn't expect it to be in
I'd say the most interesting thing about Charizard is that he is the hardest character in the game to kill overall. Super heavy, great recovery, a 1 frame super armor move to absorb otherwise fatal moves. Charizard always wants to trade.
Which move is the frame 1 super armour one? Rock Hurl?
Yes, Rock Hurl. Normal Rock Smash is 5 frames. It depends on the matchup which one you want to use.
I don't use it all that often. I mostly SH nair then poke with jab, ftilt, dtilt, etc. I still toss out a Flamethrower every now and again though
It depends in part on the match up, but I use Flamethrower a bunch for applying pressure in For Glory. I guess it's impart because of the lack of platforms and no customs limiting my options, though.
Hah, didn't consider it being FG syndrome. Battlefield/Yoshi's certainly changes things.
For better or worse, I'd say I only ever use Flamethrower in about 5% of my FG games just because it takes too long for my impatient, run and gun playstyle (and I play easily 90% of my games with Charizard). I'd honestly much rather play in reaction to whatever option my opponent chooses to go for. So, to answer your question, yes. Absolutely.
As in a 1000 wins in a row or just a 1000 wins in general?
1000 wins in general
All you would learn from For Glory is that there is no glory to be won.
