When spamming projectiles, give everything a purpose. You have 3 unique projectiles (and a Zair!), so you should be assessing each situation accordingly. How do you do that, you ask?

The easiest way is to watch them approach you from their perspective. It's like they're giving the answers away. If you know your character, their character, and how they're gonna approach, then you're pretty much set.

Go buy yourself some Chateau Romani and some cheap Gerudos and have yourself a nice vacation.

Hey guys, I kinda want to pick Toon Link. Any tips for a scrub? He's pretty fun!
Pick up MK, none of us actually play TL here. TL is bad.

jk. it depends on how you play. do you like camping? sword fighting or a mixture of both?

For that I would have to say you will need to focus on your movement skills. It's important to know when to wall your opponents with projectiles and when to strike a deadly/killing blow. Primarily, you are going to be using projectiles (since you can), to rack up damage but it is also important to know how they will effect your opponent. You don't want to miss an opportunity to follow through when your projectiles give you an opening for an attack. Zair is also a good spacing and follow up tool to use.

When if comes to sword play, I don't have information for every situation but one thing you need to keep in mind (and for all characters you use), is be aware of TL's moves and their frame data. You want to use the right moves for the right situation and make sure you use the right move that comes out the quickest. You obviously don't want to dsmash a jumping opponent. You want to u-tilt them or u-smash them. Preferable u-tilt because it does KO earlier than usmash.

Don't throw a move out there with big hope it will land because most of the time, you will not land it and get punished for it.

Like mentioned before, if you use a lot of projectiles, or spam them, do it intelligently. You can hide behind a controlled spam and really put the pressure on your opponent. If they find a way to counter it, you can bait them with your spam and then punish. In my opinion of what help makes a good player is being able to bait and punish their opponent. I'm currently developing that hypothesis and so far I've been getting good results via tournament results and overall practice against friends who I used to lose to terribly.

Yeah it's in the tech thread as "reverse tether". If you find any uses for it then I'd be interested.
well i don't know if you guys figured this already but if you're holding a bomb and perform a reversed tether, then you can let go of it in order to fake out your opponent and throw it depending on if they're chasing on you enough to punish, depending on the % and where you are positioned you can follow up with an aerial back on stage or perform a mixup whether its an ibomb or just throwing it at their shield to stall for a setup.

I've been playing a lot of Brawl recently and I feel like I've finally leveled up as a player.

I still suck though, but this time, I suck LESS! :D

I challenge you to a Puerto Rican Lag Smackdown. Accept if you are brave enough.

Can we get video footage of this? I'm telling you, fight of the century right here.
I can commentate if you guys want.
I should be getting 9, 2GB SD cards by this friday (to split between me and smashcon), so I can put hacks on them like infinite replay. I don't know if it will work for online matches, but I can only assume it will. When I get those in, I will record the Puerto Rican Lag Smackdown. I just hope I don't break my wii with how epic the matches will be.

Apparently hacks only work on 2GB and under. So yeah. Plus it's too late to back out now, the SD cards are on the way.

If I ever decide to go back to tournaments, I'm DEFINITELY ganna pick a secondary, it's not worth fighting MK anymore with TL when I know I can **** him with another character

^ I'm doing the same thing, I realized this after playing teevee at sktar...TL can only do so much when the mk is decent at all

(Marth is still at a disadvantage but it's easier imo)

mk is a bad character. only a handful of people can use him at a potential where he seems broken. so if u dont live in a region with any top mk's then u dont have an excuse. just get better at the MU

New England is absolutely stacked :(

mk is disproportionately better than all the other characters...it's like playing against Marth as Mewtwo in melee :/ you have to be infinitely better than your opponent to win.

but yeah if you're forced to fight mk you might as well have the mindset that he's a bad character I guess...

You do have a point. Almost everyone plays some form of MK here in LA. They aren't the best but they are still at the level where they can perform some of MK's annoying tricks that will take all three of your stocks in a heartbeat. =/

Edit: Get hype for the Puerto Rican Lag Smackdown. Just got to set a time and day. I got stuff going on next Friday and Saturday is a tournament. Maybe Saturday night if I get home early enough. We shall play it by ear.

Actually it was meant to boost you kinda like a(if he did it so can i) thing, but you took offense to it so ill say something offensive. quit sucking and get good.

Halberd is easier less room for them to run.

MK's worst MU is a 50-50 with himself. MK is at the top of the food chain. Like on the Mt. Olympus of the Brawl food chain.

Edit: Puerto Rican Lag Smackdown is happening now. Twinkie has beaten me like 5 times already, I managed to snag two victories over him only because the lag wasn't bad, so I could actually do stuff. We have some matches recorded. Should be posting soon. But now, more matches.
