I'll play if you've got 15 minutes to spare beforehand. Just woke up, gotta start off my morning 'nd stuff.
Zomggg, a living soul scouring through the Arena at this time of the day O.O

Naturally I would linger until then, because it's totally worth my while :D

I will be hosting a lobby!

Good games Sai. Had much more of a difficult time playing than it might have seemed, that intercontinental input delay was gnawing at my shield game most specifically. Can't play the Pit and Zamus MUs too well as Ike with that disruption. Had lots of fun, though; you have a pretty challenging set of characters. I've never played a Zamus that can keep control of her armor pieces like you did most of the time. I had a hard time determining whether you'd throw them at me or chuck them up to keep them from expiring. Nice arrow control with Pit, also. You seemed to adapt a bit whenever I started powershielding the pattern of your immediate arrow releases. Also impressed to see yet another player around here using turnaround jabs. They're godlike. <3

Zatchiel, Saimunn, want to 2v2 later? We should see if we can find a 4th player.
I might. Not very fond of participating in dubs unless I appoint my own teammate. It's a bit too dysfunctional for my tastes otherwise.

GGs Zatch! Nothing but praise for that impeccable :ike: of yours.. I mean holy sh-.. Your spacing, I can tell, is absolutely astounding. Even mocking me by just standing in the exact vicinity to dodge my every move, simply doing nothing LOL. I mean, I'm not going to lie, I rejoice in such expertise. You only sporadically incurred a shield-grab, and consistently punished my whiffed grabs.. T.T

Not to mention the off-stage gimps QQQQQQQQ

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me...

I mean, I inferred particularly from your (nigh on) flawless WiFi-powershielding game that I was dealing with a very seasoned warrior, which has been around the proverbial block for quite the while O.O
Seriously, I was actually terrified when I selected :pit: initally, and see my volleys of arrows fired in vain rofl.

It was pretty evident that I had to resort to projectile-supported characters after those pitiful attempts to best your :ike: with my somehwat.. novice :falcon: (dat Falcon Punch @ Yoshi's though lols). Quite funny actually because, since we had played those rotation matches in which you primarily played with :falcon:, I just had this epiphanic episode unveiling the true potential of :falcon:.. I mean, I bet that you can sympathise with how that very blunt u-air toe-tip outwardly launches the adversary with such a disproportionally vast trajectory. It's pretty unique to see that his character-mechanics can be so powerful when allocated in proper array. Jab-cancelling, FF N-air -> jabx2 -> u-tilt or so.. Just those nimble, swift moves imbue him with I don't know.. This specific kind of flair.

And as for the armor piece game: thank you for the laudatory remarks! I was personally not so fond of the industry of the zoning with the pieces (felt like the feeble connection paralyzed my mobility a bit..), so I tried to capitalise on the ''mind-game'' element of it. Moreover, the supremacy of your technical abilities made it difficult to conquer your own armor piece game with optimal glide-toss zoning.. But hey, I tried! :D

Nice arrow control with Pit, also. You seemed to adapt a bit whenever I started powershielding the pattern of your immediate arrow releases. Also impressed to see yet another player around here using turnaround jabs. They're godlike. <3
Oh why thank you! I've been spending quite some time to optimise my arrow game (and incorporate some shenanigans with those looped arrows and whatnot), so I'm glad that it shows. And I figured that it was futile to maintain that firing cadence when you were just warping over the field powershielding my every single arrow rofl..

Pivot-jabbing (or however you'd coin it) is a nifty asset indeed! I should also adopt that frequent pivot-grabbing of yours (not a dashing pivot-grab but a stationary one ;o); it's just so baffling at times.



Zatchiel, Saimunn, want to 2v2 later? We should see if we can find a 4th player.
Formidable idea! Although, I can only confirm my participation on a preliminary basis; I might be leaving soon.. But the idea is nonetheless delightful, and it is mostly cordial of you to invite me :3

I got a lot of powershields, but nowhere near as many as I could've had. Best example I could think of was against Zamus's flip jump attack and side b. I stood there and ate the hit from the former while trying to powershield for better punish potential, while I essentially ran into the latter quite often because my shield didn't register. It really throws off a lot because I have to resort to alternative methods of punishing things that should be very easy to see coming/react to. I've played lots of wifi, but I'd be lying if I said I got comfortable with the input delay. Timing everything was still a chore, I only managed to do most of what I did based off of my reads. Really shocked at the regrab count I got on the b-throw pivot cg, during that Rainbow Cruise game. I was expecting to mess it up a lot earlier than that with d-tilt or dash attack.

I'll play if you're still around. Gotta experiment some dumb things and see if they work.

Also, is there something I could be doing better with Lucario better in neutral stance? I feel like I got punished there the most. Though I think I just freak out a bit when getting bombarded with lazers from spacies

Sorry I wanted to play more too. Shoot. I still have some cleaning to do too... I snuck away to let you know why I left lol. I just saw barrel canceling and boosted pivot-grabs so I was trying to work those into the matches somehow. I was pleased with that one kill I got from it though. I feel like I had more of a chance against the climbers. Probably because wi-fi is killer for those cg's. I don't normally play against them. Now I know I can't really camp against them. GG's though.

I mix up my use of blaster when it comes to Wolf and Falco since theirs actually has stun to keep the opponent at bay. Wolf's also has a nice little blade hitbox if I want to use that while landing for some extra damage while keeping you close so I can go back to b-air, jab, and f-tilt keep-away.

Yeah, with Lucario, you shouldn't sidestep dodge so much. You shouldn't really have to, I mean. Counteract punishment attempts from behind with u-tilt, turnaround jabs, or f-tilt if they're a little farther away. Also don't neglect to understand how amazing your rolls are. You can replace your sidesteps with those to be safer, but overall you shouldn't be using either very often. The best thing you can do from a neutral stance is get out of it as quickly as possible. A dynamic Lucario is one of the toughest things to combat in this game for most of the cast. Take to the air and use wavebounced aura sphere charges (REALLY beneficial to master this along with b-reversals for Lucario). Always try to keep your aura spheres at least 25-50% charged so you can use them decently for combos when the opportunity comes up. Only exception to this is when you're baby shot camping or going for a kill with fully charged aura sphere. Wavebouncing them makes it quite unpredictable to tell when you might go for actually releasing it. It also makes you harder to catch because you're bouncing away from where your opponent expects you to land. This is EXTREMELY useful when it comes to getting back down to stage level when you're sent up.

For out of shield options, n-air works well for in front of you if you use it IMMEDIATELY, and f-air works wonders as well. Short hop d-air works marvelously regardless of whether your opponent is in front of or behind you. You'll usually have to DI a little bit towards them then initiate it for it to hit, however, but all you need is two frames. If they manage to shield it, jump and do it again (exception being against MK, of course b cuz Shuttle Loop).

Not sure what much else to add.

Oh Ok its seems there is a problem on Nintendo WiFI connection with some areas anyway thanks for trying maybe we meet in smash 4 or in Wimmifi in the new server.
Aw, wish we could've played. It's no problem though, hopefully we'll meet again!

Getting those Chaingrabs on Yoshi is hard. I was actually looking stuff up while we played to see how may I could get on you. If I time it correctly I can get 6 on you. That nair always used to hot me out of it so I wouldn't try. I was trying to get boosted pivot grabs as Falco too. I didn't get any though. I think I have a problem withstand things that are impractical but I want to work lol. The barrel caneling with Diddy is a good example. If I land on a banana you throw while I up b it will launch it. I really want it to work but its really dumb to do if I use it as a counter/in safely. I noticed your Yoshi is extremely patient. Those dashes to f smash on the ledge were very nice. I need to look for those next time. I'm sure that will be around in Smash 4 though. :grin:

Falcos cg on yoshi is hard but rewarding if you get it off if you go to slow ill nair you out of it and one time i saw you were really slow on the boost grab with falco that i was able to dj out of it some how. yeah i know what you were trying to do with those up b's but most of the time it just leaves you open so i dont think its very useful. Yeah i changed my playstyle with yoshi alot i learned running full speed in brawl is dumb you miss so many free punishes and approaching while running is very predictable since you dont have many options so i just dash at people get close enough to where they cant punish me wait and see what they do when im in there face it works wonders mindgaming people is how i play :D
