ya I sometimes I don't use ftilt enough. I guess I use it too predictably when I do use it. Its my biggest issue. and with fSmash being so fast its easier to cover yourself it seems.

Also wifi is for funsies and learning. I am usually just practicing reading.

Man, all that showed me was I need to start using up B more efficiently. I was really impressed with your ROB, Jelly. You too, Chibo. I haven't seen much of your ROB since you stopped being a ledge *****, but I like where you're going with him.

I don't see anything really specific, because I'm terrible at the ROB ditto. I have to ask though, why Halberd, Chibo? I only really like the stage because I can come up from below with uair or something, but I don't usually CP people there.

Honestly, I think the only reason he went there is because he likes that stage.
You can't really counterpick yourself. He also too MamPam there too.

And thanks Zwarm :3
All this training in Gainesville is finally paying off.

Also, could we put this in the ROB video thread?
And on another note, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1tNb7mx24s Vs. ExDeath.
I feel like I played super terrible in this match, like I was sandbagging hard lol.
But, it IS MK, so think what you want.

When you know all of ROB's options, its really easy to avoid them when facing him. So, just be wary of all the **** he can do when you bot are on the ground, in the air, etc.

And for the Reverse Up-B, Just dash, then (without jumping) just B-reverse your up-b. Make sure you don't rotate the control stick too far to the left or right or you go the opposite way with full momentum. EDIT* I think it just looks like I'm moving exceptionally fast lol.
Just an Up B reverse with full momentum.

Get someone off stage and follow them with the Up-B. You facing away so Bair is already prepped. Then, If you miss. You still have your jump to pop up and hit them again. Instead of Bair, you could also nair if you predict an airdodge.

Very very impressive. I don't use that move in that way either. I gotta ask, why so much over b? I find that move to be useless.
The only thing I could think of saying is that I think you should use more ftilt. Its a fantastic move, and I didn't see to much of it. I have a different playstyle then ya though, so thats just my opinion.

Actually, you can do it with jumping as well which makes the input margin of error when doing it a bit easier.

I have Z set to jump so when I do the input, I kind of hit three things at once:
1.) B
2.) up+diagonal
3.) Z (jump)

@GP~ The reason it seems like he's moving faster is because he is....
You get a faster boost if you do a grounded up-b during an initial dash.

I'm going to start updating my Bags of Tricks thread now and keep you beepos informed :p

If I recall, I use ftilt alot. Its amazing. And *side b* is really good and situational. A: it beats tornado when tilted appropriately. B: it can stall you in the air for multipurpose uses. C: it's good to troll people who can't DI / Smash DI.

And just practice b-reversing, the move it to your up b.

i can b-reverse just fine, the only thing i struggle donig is wavebouncing, typicalyl quite important for rob XD
side-b is useful for three reasons
1. reflects projectiles. obvious usage
2. Transcendant priority. this means it goes through nado and other transcendant priority moves. sadly they also go through it
3. momentum cancel. f-air > side-b can keep ou alive a bit longer.

Side B is pretty useful against ROB. There were like 3 times in a row Jelly reflected Chibo's offstage laser away. Plus it stops gyros.

Mr. Eric, do you play with tap jump? I do, so I'm essentially doing the same thing you are.

just something i ned to throw out there because im incapable of testing it myself.
when doing horizontal momentum cancelling, has anyone ever tried to do the standard aerial and then wavebounce gyro while still moving backwards from the hit? i dunno how it works but does anyone know if it reverse your momentum this way? it could potentially make us live longer when knocked horizontally

Yeah, I've tried, It doesn't work. The momentum you get from a hit is different from momentum you generate yourself, so when trying to wavebounce with the Gyro or Laser or Up B you just turn around. :sadface:

Then it's important to mention it since it actually does count as a jump though I know it doesn't feel like it. Definitely feels like it when you have tap jump off xD It's doable; just more difficult and it feels clunky.

I would say there's much better options than side b simply because of startup lag.
And since you can kill with your other options.
Side B is mainly good for shield pressure and gimping from what I've discovered.

If there was a like button for Smashboards I would have liked this.

I finally realized why I was messing it up all of those times.

It is because if you are still holding the analog stick when you reverse you will do a reversed Side-B. But if you want to reverse your neutral B, as soon as you want to do it, let go of the analog stick then reverse.

It is pretty obvious and everyone probably knows this but I didn't realize it at first. =/

DOUBLE POST FOR GOOD USE!

Seeing as there are no matches for Pikachu I may as well put my set up with ESAM.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC2GrZB_7r4 (The whole set)

Also here are some old matches of me vs a wolf. They were pretty decent matches.

Naw I don't want to be critique'd on these.

They were all very long ago except for the Set with ESAM.

I just put these on here so I could maybe help everyone out a bit. IDK. lol

Man, it looks like I actually need to go into the labs with ROB again and practice stuff with him. I haven't done this since I taught myself how to wavebounce gyro cancel, which was over a year ago now...

There's too much to learn with R.O.B.

I consider him the most technical character in Brawl. Maybe that's why everyone disagrees with me when I say Brawl is more technical than Melee... They don't main R.O.B... :(

the best use for up b while on the ground is just using it to use aerials safely on peoples shields, its too slow to be really useful for punishing people who are in the air, they'll just react to it =/

and robs def. not more technical than melee chars >.>
