guys i love super smash bros they're comfy and easy to wear
can't tell if you actually took offense to a comment marked with a ';-)' or are joking, since you literally just said 'we just don't pander to a community that doesn't exist' after a post talking about that local community existing :-p.

This is foreshadowing the Utah smash scene. One of us has to go beat mango now.
Also, this is what I am going to start listening to in tournament: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfYXxqvd-Mg

Hey did anyone at provo game den have a white controller that appeared to be slightly more busted than usual when it went home with them? Because I misplaced my controller and and ended taking one home that's new-ish. Let me know so we can swap back.

Hey I am new to Smashboards, but I have gotten into SSB4 and am really liking it and want to get better. Is there a resource to find local games? I don't see a ton of posts about SSB4 on here, but let's be honest I'm not ready to read 1061 pages of forum stuff.
Where you at.

The first post on the first page is (usually) updated with current events happening. Another place to watch is the Utah Smash Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/UtahSmash/) and the Utah Smash Events Google Doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1alpl7HGXELk9OJZ7eXTt95QPDjNXbgJTPk6_YY4cVWw/edit#gid=0)

So Hugs just mentioned on his stream how Isai never sandbagged against him either, and I just realized Isai must've really hated fighting samus.

I don't mind fighting against Samus that much, myself. But that's just me...

In the documentary PC Chris mentioned how he always lost to hugs. I'm guessing Samus is a hated (or frustrating?) match up for a lot of people?

Samus is kind of an awkward weight and floatiness when it comes to comboing if you don't know what you're doing; If she doesn't go straight to the blast zone from a strong hit she's almost guaranteed to get back with bombs and the grapple. She also has the up-b out of shield which is frustrating to get hit by repeatedly, and she's got all of the missile and beam swag. Also she can crouch cancel some stronger attacks at absurd percents.
I don't have THAT much experience playing Samuses (sp?), but I think all of this combined can make Samus a real pain in the butt.

People just need to learn to use Sheik! There have been some people *coughnetcough* complaining that I'm the only Sheik so it's hard to get training for that match-up here (especially since I don't play outside of tournaments LOL).
Octopus => Octopi, therefore Samus => Sami? That looks mathematically sound!

Samus kind of breaks melee's meta, so if you use the same tactics that you would on other chars you won't succeed against samus.
NEUTRAL
For non-samus characters, The basic idea is that you want to use your movement options and whatever unique character zoning/rushdown options to gain advantage until you can get in on your opponent and punish. However, with samus she wants you to get in on her--- you give her the advantage by hitting her.
Now obviously you can actually hit samus without being punished, but compared to the rest of the cast your safe approach options are severely limited--- and generally more punishable on read.
PUNISH
Most move strings in melee aren't true combos, but they remove so many of your opponents options that they have no choice but to get hit. But when fighting samus you have to be aware of the fact that she has several combo break moves that will end or reverse your punish.
That and she's very floaty and very heavy. This means she receives little hitsun while flying too far away for her opponent to get the follow up.
RECOVERY
upb, dj, single bomb, bomb jump, tether stage, rising tether, rising tether cancel, invincible wall jump, air dodge, air dodge->zair ...
She has a bunch of options. Its hard to cover them all and get the edgeguard against her.
Again, usually when your opponent is offstage they've lost so many options that they have no choice but take your punish. This is less so with samus.
EDGEGUARD
Samus can punish all but the sweetest of sweetspots from the stage due to the fact she has hitboxes that go underneath the ledge.
That and she has projectile kill moves unlike almost every character in the game.
SCIENCE OUT

It's all good. But yeah it all depends on where you're at. weeklies for smash for aren't as common as PM and the like but there is a few.
If you stick with this forum we help each other out by getting to tournaments and stuff.
