Lol Viet you are funny. Anyone who doesn't love EL is a stupid. Yes, a stupid. A girl in my class was talking to two of my friends and one of them insulted her I think and she said "Yall's some stupids!" It was hilarious.

Thats some pretty epic lulz right there

Bout to play God of War again.

One of the best games I ever played for sure.

Hello, Marths... this seemed like a silly enough place to ask this....

Someone named Viny just posted in the Sonic boards, that Marth's Counter can counter Pit's up-B. I tried it out and it works. Is this common knowledge to Marths? Just curious, because it seems quite bizarre

I guess I should be asking the Pits... but they kinda weird me out..... all the shrieking 'n stuff...

 

[crazn137]

Thats pretty cool actually. Can you only counter the opening animations, or can you counter during the up b?

If you wanna talk Marth in a manly fashion....talk to the Marth users...(I had to get that out.)

Anyways, I never thought of that, can put use another up b after that? Or does he just die?

 

[RickyB]

what are your religious views? (forgive me if someone has already asked)

 

[Emblem Lord]

I am Athiest and Buddhist.

I was the one who got that legion guy's thread locked :O

RickyB (in his walk in closet): Hmm......hey Emblem Lord, should i wear black socks or white socks?

Emblem Lord: Yes.

Only the opening, it has a wind push effect which counts as an attack, like Kirby's inhale, Ganon's uptilt, and a few other things.


Wingdashing takes advantage of this to push opponents back in addition to actually moving.

 

[infomon]

Cool, thanks all. How the heck does Marth counter an Inhale?? stupid brawl

 

[BacklashMarth]

This question, is answered in the "Let me officially end the question of marths manliness" thread. It has to do with marths tiara. Kirbys inhale attemps to remove it from marths head thus placing the universe at risk. Marth in turn registers this threat as an attack against him which in turn allows the counter to activate.

 

[infomon]

Huh... I never even noticed her tiara. Good call.

 

[BacklashMarth]

Not realizing marths is a man + not noticing his symbol of authority = astronomically epic fail

 

[Nibbity]

hmm, I guess this is out to everyone. I really don't feel a need for a thread.

I've been hearing a lot of complaints about brawl from the best players. The lack of competition is evident, and it seems no one is happy with it.

Will we slowly move back to melee in search to compensate for the loss of skill brawl brings us?

 

[Emblem Lord]

Brawl is inferior to Melee.

Honestly it would be better if the whole community just stuck to Melee. The game is a better game, but also fosters a better community for several reasons.

It's more fun to watch and it's easier to get hyped for it. It's very deep so it's alot of fun to discuss and analyze the game with others. There is plenty of depth to talk about.

The game overall is more balanced IMO, since you have more viable characters and no one character can dominate the way MK does. Plus it takes ALOT of skill and dedication to master characters in Melee vs mastering characters in Brawl.

Melee gives you more control over your characters and more options and there is a better balance between defensive and offensive play.

Brawl itself turned this community against one another. The game is bad and because of that it set off a chain reaction of negative consequences.


But this is to be expected. Brawl was made for casuals and there are elements of the game meant to discourage competitive play i.e tripping.

Anyway, to answer your question Nibbity. Noobs will continue to play Brawl since Brawl is probably what got them into competitive Smash. Old school heads will most likely go back to Melee or quit Smash altogether out of disgust.

 

[BacklashMarth]

Um, no. Marths Dolphin Slash and Dancing Blade are just too good in brawl. Besides, i never bothered to learn wavedashing in melee so i never could make it far in tournaments. In other words, im better in brawl than i am in melee. But i will throw melee in just for kicks sometimes. But i do wanna say that melee was more balanced and was better for competition as EL said.

 

[3xSwords]

Then there are people like me who learned about competitive melee really late, as in fall of 2007. Learned as many AT's as possible, tried to copy pros, but in the end realized it would take years to master the game, in terms of going in depth described a bit in the "Playing to Learn" thread.

So I turned to Brawl hoping it would provide an easier access to competitive games, since I would be starting at the same (or relatively same) time as others and would not be so overwhelmed. Unfortunately Brawl turned out to be mediocre in terms of competitiveness, however I did learn a lot in terms of what goes on in the back of a person's mind as he plays. This was a big asset, so now if I did go back to melee I would be able to understand better why somebody would use move "a" instead of move "b".

I have to agree melee is a lot more fun in getting hyped up for. So Brawl wasn't that bad, and some types of people other than noobs resulted from it.

That being said, EL what are you going to do now in terms of gaming? I mean brawl seems out for you, and well you never really liked melee so what game are you moving on to now?

 

[Steel]

Apparently yu yu hakusho is where it's at.

 

[Nibbity]

I've been thinking about melee constantly, but it worries me because both games are so different, you can't be masterful at both. I really wish you could balance yourself to know both games.

Also, I entered the competitive scene when brawl came out, so i'd have to start from scratch on melee marth.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I suck at melee... Therefore I belive I'll be sticking to brawl no matter what and I'll try to be as good as I can and eventually try to make a name for myself.

 

[_Kadaj_]

I like brawl and melee equally but I play brawl significantly more. I mained falcon and fox in melee but switched for obvious reasons in brawl. But I really like the way marth plays in brawl which leads me to like brawl a little more than melee. I like grab release setups and things like that. I also like the fact that you have more control over aireial mobility in terms of spacing in brawl. The one thing that I can't stand tho is tripping. But the mod for no tripping can easily shut that factor out. I also like the fact that you can make characters trip to add initial setups. Sorry for the wall o text.

But the only two flaws that I see in brawl are little to no hit stun and tripping if those two gameplay elements were fixed brawl would be a lot better

LOL no, you obviously fail for not realizing that your main is a woman.

Spoiler

and for not getting the joke... anyway, I think my time on the Marth boards is done, ftw!

*epic hi5* Amen brother. Compared to the pros i fail pretty hard. But there are some things i miss in melee. Reverse Dolphin slash is one and the super dancing blade recovery (but i like the new DB height boost also). Oh and CG to spike on some characters was win.

To infzy: Um.......did u fail to notice that HALF of ur main IS female? You've got little room to talk.

really quick question (for anyone) what % does dolphin slash kill?

I'm going back to Marth.

The Pit boards are dumb and really gay.

**** them.

Lol welcome back, and I agree.

 

[Shaya]

Dolphin Slash when fresh will kill opponents at the edge of stages (like MK) at maybe 100%.

Unfortunately Dolphin Slash is god for punishing, so eh.

The trajectory a character goes though is really DI dependant though. If they DI up they will FLY up, and that can kill.

 

[Hype]

yeah, "Unfortunately" we Marths have one of the most broken moves in the game.

 

[Dark Sonic]

^^No, he means it won't often be completely fresh. **** move decay.

 

[TKD]

Move decay is genius. Fresh Dolphin Slash KO's at 130% on average btw.
