=( go play kryztedez or something and learn the mu. use utilt to zone, not kill (just like peach)
I try to zone with u-tilt, but if they don't commit to a move I just get punished and sometimes even then it doesn't work. >_< Also i'm not sure if Krystedez is super campy or not. o-o

If you are getting hit after using it and missing, you are not doing it right. You should travel to my place this weekend and I can break down this character for you.

*Please note that while I know what to do vs the character, I have a very poor record vs many Warios. Most Warios give me the same advice when I ask what I should be doing, but there are still movement patterns that you may not be aware of that I could help you out with.

Like Judo, I know many things to facilitate improvement from others. For example, this weekend I learned that no one seems to know that ZSS' down B is essentially a third jump in that if you hit her out of it and she doesn't land, she doesn't get it back. In addition, she cannot kick until the apex of the down B jump. This means there is a huge window for which you can hit her and take her down B. The more you know.

Look at Wario.

Now put a big "Y" image over him. Have him full jump straight to the left, then to the right. The apex of his jump is the "Y". Don't stand in a place where he can do a move at any place in those "Y" areas and hit you, and you'll know every one of his attacks is a whiff and you can react appropriately.

If possible, get close to the Y area and do moves just outside it to space him. Some characters can't do this. This will force Wario to play your game.

Ralph plays snake, so he cannot exactly just "swing his sword" to beat out Wario. He has to risk damage and being comboed when going arial for Bairs and nairs against wario. I guess you could SH UAir autocancel into utilt to zone, but that's not that good.

Snake can zone with jab, f-tilt, and u-tilt. If you get close enough for any of those moves to hit wario out of a jump, you can force them to get past that possibility. Getting hit out of the air won't do a lot of damage but it shuts down Wario's dancing game.

Snake's options are his own, but Wario's limitations transcend his opponent's character choice.

@Kel & Overswarm Thanks for the advice. :D

I'd like to, but for now i'm dependent on others for a ride. I'll check and see if anyone in Greenup would be up for helping me with that or something though. o-o I also plan on fixing my problem with rides as well soon. ^_^

Also i'm going to post my results tomorrow and then I guess once everyone from our carpool posts their results we'll start to try and update the PR and what not. :o

Just follow the grime...
Hopefully once PR gets updated KY actually gets motivated to start improving..

Ralph and Mister Eric are the only ones I see actually taking strides to do so as of now.

Most of the people play locally because they don't drive, and the few drivers are too buay or are having too many issues with money/work. A PR won't change much.

Ralph should utilize Nade Grabs and pivot grabs more. Wario's range on his normals is really mediocre and if he throws out a limb as Snake's pivot grabbing, he's in bad shape. You should focus on conditioning for grabs since Snake gets a boatload of gay **** on Wario for free from them.

Wow. You two had to play in pools even though you play all the time and you're at a national.

I'd be pretty annoyed with that.

Wow.

You all copied Ralph's post exactly, so all of your url's with ...'s in them actually have ... in the url link :v. Example: Click on Forward Air Rage's bracket image. It doesn't work because whatever was shorted out with the ... was actually replaced with a ... lol.

If Asa gets accepted to UK, and doesn't back out on it, (which one of her advisers did try to talk her out of it today so she is unsure) then we will most definitely be moving to Lexington. I will be graduated and she still have another year or so to pursue. I know it blows Kel =[ I srsly stayed so busy with school, that I don't even find time to make informative, detailed posts on SWF lol. But it is what it is. I will only be 30 more min away from Cincy, maybe we can get a Lexxy carpool up there or something. Either way, we'll see what happens. I hope it follows through, Morehead has withered away in my heart. Only person left here is Phael, and he might pick back up on tourney-going. But other than him, that's it. And I'm okay with that. I found Ralph. I found Amida. Two very aspiring Snake mains who want to further their Brawl career, just like Xisin did when I found him in 2008. Some people last, some don't. It's the way game playin' go. But if I don't move there this summer, I should be 100% there in the following year. Atm, it's looking like I'm 80% confirmed to move there this summer tho.

So see this as an opportunity for Lexington to thrive again. I believe in Lexington. I have high hopes for that city. I started in that city, and I'm def not about to stop now.

And for good reason. I'm mad at both myself and Lexington for not taking full advantage of your company. You have a competitive edge on all of us. And no one, that I know of, tried to gain that edge.
Regardless, you'll be happier in OH.

Ralph was always talking about what great advice Kel gave for his game that he could always apply immediately.

also who all's going to be at Rain Saturday?

We still cut the season after APEX, right?

Tried out my ICs this tourney. Got some mental preparation to endure before I can complete grabs. After a while, every grab felt like I was undergoing a heart attack. It was super strange. Kinda hype tho.
