PF are you going to clowsui's tourney in October?
Yes.
J I look forward to your insight... :)

@PF - The matchup isn't hard? Wth. Maybe you mean the players you have played aren't hard haha
Rob has all the tools to **** Lucas. He out ranges us. With my smarts and a mastery of Rob I would **** a lucas once off the stage.
I've played Stingers and Chibo, though not recently.

*shrugs* I only find like 3 MUs hard. Everything else is player based

Just watched the Lucas vs ROB video (mekos) and is it just me or does the thing that floats up on Yoshi's Island tend to get us killed more?

It always picked me up and gets me smashed or takes my PKT. xD

haha I'm with u buddy! Prob killed more. Get's me by surprise!! ;)

@PF - Yea I slaughter Rob's too but I know the MU is still in there favor. It just means we are the better player. Stingers is the only Rob to come close because he has played me alot and he is smart. He is adapting to my playstyle. And yea he gets better. His skill doesn't stay stagnant.
Only three matchups hard!? Dude I find mk, pika, ice-climbers, DK, Marth, lucario, Wario, Snake, ZSS, Falco, etc all hard at the highest level of play.

I'm like the opposite with u. I probably find like only 3 matchups not hard. -_____-

I mean like, do some sort of hard event for a character maybe, not sure how I'd say it.
I get you now
you mean they show off their imbaness (AW YEAH IM SO PUNNY) and you have to somehow beat them and 'understand' the feeling of the character before everyone says that characters bad.

Havent versed a rob, but i imagine fair>dtilt lock would happen often coz of his size and bad bounce animation or w/e

Well, hard as in feel like they can't be won no matter how well I play.

I have 0 bad matchups in that case if they're "unwinnable"

But I do find it hard to fight Ganondorf, Zelda, L- wait no

Marth, ROB (Sometimes, I see how to do it now because Mekos video), Perkilachu, Falco sometimes, DK if he's that guy who grabs, uhmmm... Olimar is annoying, Snake, and that's about it. Everyone else it's whoever can win.

Any tips vs Ganon though? I beat him but I wanna know how to play vs him, it'd be embarassing being beat at Apex vs Ganon ;_;

I don't think he's AS bad as people say he is, probably 2-3 places higher on the tier list imo.

@Fae I don't consider zelda or sheik an individual character haha. Zelda's can turn into sheiks! Ahhh

@PF - Ah now I understand. Hard = unwinnable to u. Gotcha bro

@BlueBerry - I love u bro! I'm the same. I have 0 bad matchups by that definition. We can achieve anything! woohoo! Lets go!

Lucas mains gotta share the love!

One thing I like about Lucas mains is we all have to put a ton of effort into winning, it makes us really strong and smart players in the longrun I think...

Love the Lucas/Ness community both, let's all stick together and get Lucas higher in the tier, and hopefully next smash we'll all play together as well.

On a side note, Zelda is a troll, I just camp her she has no offense. :troll:

Someone please explain this to me, I've been trying to do it, maybe I'm not buffering (Don't know how)

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've done it once out of like 100 tries, but I don't see the exact timing, which I'd like someone to help me with if possible.
The videos instructions at the start pretty much tell you how to do it. buffer a jump, hold it, then airdodge frame 1 and zair frame 2.

its really tricky, i cant do it either. zap jump lyfe

I've been practicing it, you just gotta have timing and the airdodge is where I have the problem, I can do it like 10-15% of the time if I try.

The instructions are good but it's hard to do even with them lol.

Yeah haha, but it's fun to do when you get it.

Man I am so bored tonight and it has been probably one of the most boring days ever.

It's a lot harder, and... it's really unreliable I think.

Zap Jumping isn't as strict with timing, and you don't have to press as many buttons lol.

I press X, and use my C Stick, and I also use L/C Stick depending on which direction I'm going so I can magnet pull.

I use wiichuk so I press side-b and c at the same time (c on a nunchuk is an extra jump button). Unfortunately my timing is still iffy and while I am getting better at it, I find it very unreliable in real matches, preferring item jumps.

But that's not what I jumped in to say.

So, first off, i'm in the desert and have limited internet connection.... long story. It's good to say hi though. :D

A couple of things i've been practicing are reverse attacks. These are instances where I turn around before using the special, like running, jumping, using PK freeze and having the momentum carry my lucas in the other direction. This also allows for longer periods of running before doing a turn-around PK fire.

My most exciting piece of news... I just found out that Duon is Lucas's best boss... by far. I never knew you could HEAL from him! It's awesome. On that news i've been wondering... would it be okay if I started a new thread that outlined Lucas's performance in other Brawl modes? Just as a guide. He's good enough in quite a few sectors to be considered notable. ^^

Wow FAE, you're gonna be that guy?

Btw, was gonna ask what you record with, I have a Dazzle DVC 100, just need to know the program to use/settings if we can talk someday. I have a lot of great clips to make a combo video, might make one with a lot of people if I'm sent some clips.

I feel bad watching combo vids, they make me feel like less than the speck of dust under one's desk. :(

Although Fsann's 3rd combo vid is up, for reference. :I

I have an SD card but nothing to connect it to the computer with. The result? No uploading videos. I have so many to share. Just then, for instance, I recorded a video in which I did a zap jump from standing position. I also recorded an 'up to date what I generally do' vid, although it's not my best but it's ok.

Still, no go if I can't upload. :/

You can buy a USB stick that you can insert your SD card to at your local electronics store, I know best buy sells them. They're only 6-8$

:phone:

Also I love watching combo videos :D they always encourage me to do better.

lol, i spent $180 on that fangamer kickstarter hehe ^^"

btw FAE, you cant wavebounce with Zair Jump can you, or is it a less lag/greater height trade off?

also anyway to learn the diddy naner lock? i know a good way of setting it up is dair as you pick up a banana and then footstall and then nana lock, but its super hard to learn. anyone got any methods that make it easier?
