That said, She's Good against Spacies, so besides the skill-gap if there even is one the biggest concern for most isn't as much of one in this instance, so Samus is agree-ably a Great starting point for a dedicated Main.
That's almost every region. :/
This is why I have a secondary Roy. At the most recent IaB, I went Roy only, but not intentionally. Usually with that type of stuff, people decide before the tourney to go Roy only, but my bracket just had like 80% Melee vets lol
How do you feel roy does vs Falcon? I struggle vs my friends falcon but it is reasonably close, I just never can clutch it out.
Its even from what I can tell.
Pls.
I'm trying to work on a secondary Falco in friendlies and stuff like. But I just don't feel nearly as comfortable as playing him and just play TL in tourney as a result. Plus I'm still at the skill level where it is better for me to mostly focus on one character rather then 2.
Just move to dfw. There's a reason our first big pm tourney was called low tier city.
The key is to have a pocket low-tier that nobody knows how to fight, so that way you can win a ton of locals and throw the tier list thread into chaos.
Replace every instance of the name Samus with Peach and you have why my Main has so few active reps ;~;
I only use Wario in doubles now. main reason I main roy over Wario is because he is more fun. Other reasons including Wario's persistence on poor match ups. I feel Wario needs a secondary, but I can Roy everyone well enough.
Wow, that's terrible. Frame 9? jfc. You'd think with how little range that move has compared to, say, her bair, it wouldn't come out so slowly.
Fair range is actually a pretty huge deal : full hop fair was one of Ivy's standard pokes, and now it only works on tall characters (which is an odd decision, considering the fact that 3.5 was supposed to tone down polarizing traits, but I digress). Its loss is especially felt in the Marth matchup, which was already bad, because it now loses to tipper fsmash, when it didn't before.
Yeah you can't just hold the ledge for 8 seconds and still get a guaranteed punish, thanksfully. (you can if you pushed her offstage during a juggle after she had spent her dair stall or her double jump, but that's pretty standard)
Fox's shield pressure works regardless of the opponent, so Ivy having a bad oos does not make such a huge difference. It only makes a difference in matchups where the opponent almost has good shield pressure, but not quite. Moves that are -4 to -8 on shield, that wouldn't usually be safe, but are against Ivy.
Your character gets destroyed by fox? Welcome to the club. It's called "everyone" and we meet at the bar.
It's funny I actually like playing against Shielda, because when she switches characters, I switch beams. Fire for Shiek, Ice for Zelda.
I find this argument a tad stupid. You, the one playing against the Sheilda, should still know both MUs if you wish to be a good player. In a good match you're always adapting to different playstyles as long as your opponent is good and doesn't play a one dimensional character. Naturally I'll take Fox as my example: He's rushdowning you. He's camping you. He can switch between each style without the obvious transformation that a Sheilda has to do. Naturally Fox as a character doesn't change, but I'd say not having to telegraph what you're going for from miles away is a lot better than telegraphing and getting some changes to your weight as it happens. Your opponent also has to adapt when he switches. He has no idea what option you're likely to choose against an airborne Zelda as opposed to an airborne Sheik, for example. Or if he does, so should you.
You crazy. I haaate the Zelda MU as Samus, even with ice mode. ;(
Regardless of HOW Fox is playing, he's still punished the same way, still has the same moves, still has the same weight, still has the same recovery, etc. Zelda and Sheik are ENTIRELY different characters. I should have phrased it better, you're not adapting to the character, you're adapting to the player.
I totally agree, just an interesting interaction you don't really get to see anywhere else.
