What should I do against projectile campers..

[Watchful_Eye]

.. especially if they are "protected" by another platform?

I just played against a Wolf and a Samus which camped under a platform, shooting their lasers/rockets and then used their Range (Wolf: F/D-Smash/Samus:Grab) to do heavy damage .

What do you do against this? Should I try to dogde and to grab them? Or should I just leave the position and wait for them to come?

 

[Asdioh]

Camped under a platform like in Battlefield?

I dunno what to tell you. If it's on wifi, you're out of luck because wifi makes it much harder to dodge projectiles than offline.

Try to get their power and spam back, sometimes.

Or spam "hiii!" out of range, that's always win.

uh,use kirbys multiple jumps to an unreachable point above them then dair to forward smash

Not this, they will see it coming a mile away and dodge and punish you for it. What I do is I approach with SH air dodges. Or dash then spotdodge until you get to them then try to pull off a combo or something. I find it hard to explain myself, I would show you a video but I can't upload them or record

crouching works doesn't it?

Yeah but Samus' homing missles and Pit's arrows own crouch

 

[CompassTosser]

Copy Samus and do the same
but seriously, I've never had anything like this happen to me before, but thats probably what I would do...
I know what your thinking "How would I copy if they use longer ranged attacks?"
well......i'd probably come from above,
And if they see it coming they'll move away or attack
If they attack, dodge and own
if they move, you now have their spot, don't let them have it back

Jump up on a platform that they aren't under, then float to the one they are under. Drop down and swallow them. (This may be very heard.) Then they can't spam cause you got one of their attacks!

... and if they're not on a platform?... and if there ARE no platforms? lol


spammers are pretty predictable... therefore why its regarded as spam... same crap over and over. so learn their pattern and avoid it. do whatever... Kirby fairs well against spammers since he's a tiny target and has a zillion jumps. use them. spammers wont punish you for using your jumps up center stage... actually... in brawl NOONE will punish you for having no jumps. do whatever you have to not to get hit and gradually move in. space well, be patient, and own them once your in

 

[chaos_]

take there projectile and spam back if not than just own them

 

[Vengeful]

lol that isn't very helpful, "if not than just own them" that is the problem. He can't just own them.

 

[spacemanspiff]

^ lol don't bother reasoning with him... 90% of his posts are quad posts bumping his friend's thread...

i've said this already but the concept of playing campers is easy. getting it down pat is harder.

when he's got distance play careful and patient

when you get in be aggressive.

and never just throw yourself in dropping down on his face... you'll just eat a U/F smash

 

[SmileyStation]

You could just dash to them and just dodge their projectiles. When theyre close just super-shield their smash(Its gonna be a smash, campers think alike >.>) and grab them. But if youre too slow for that, just copy their powers and get close to them with their own projectiles. Thats the strat...Srsly thats it.

 

[spacemanspiff]

you know there's such thing as a GOOD spammer..

 

[.Marik]

Well, this applies to Kirby, as well as the rest of the characters in the game too.

It's quite simple, really.

When they launch their projectile attacks, they are open for a couple of seconds.

Use that time that they are vulnerable, to land massive damage-dealing attacks on them.

That's it, really. =P

And it's even easier for Kirby, because of his numerous jumps.

.... so when Pit fires an arrow at you at the start of the game... you use that half second of vulnerability to teleport over to him and do a fully charged F smash????.... what the heck are you talking about lol

 

[SmileyStation]

you know there's such thing as a GOOD spammer..

Then hes not called a spammer, hes called a GOOD PLAYER. There are no GOOD spammers.

 

[spacemanspiff]

...so what do you call a good player who spams projectiles before you get in?... what do you call a good Pit?... a good spammer lol its naive to think that spammy people cant get good

 

[SmileyStation]

Thats not a spammer, its a good spacer. Every1 who has played a good pit knows this one thing and learns from it: 1 move alone cannot let you win a match against good people, I dont give a **** how good you think you are. Go to the pit forums, every vid you see of finals or something similar is a pit using all of his moves to his advantage. Any vid of pit shooting arrows and f-smashing/d-smashing is HIGHLY criticized or laughed into oblivion. Dont consider online play as your only source of good or spammy pits. It is not a valid at all for weighing skill. That goes for other characters who are at times considered spammy online. (I.E MK, Wolf, Diddy Kong, etc)

... i don't play online.... where the heck did that rant come from? LOL what does how good i am have to do with anything? i main Kirby and DK.. hardly spammy characters... aaaanyways... a good spacer?... no... good spacing's part of being a good spammer. just because someone spamms arrows doesn't mean they wont use their other moves... and no the one move wont win you the match. but if you can get 5-10 damage with it and frustrate your opponent it does indeed help... and hoooow the heck is it not a spammer if... they... spam... LOL

hmm....i read my post again and i think...maybe i was just in the mood for debating. I guess i was theorycrafting i guess. But ill just end it by just saying.....well, i usually just dodge the arrows. The melee fights are whats tough on me. I suppose good spammers are possible now that i think of it.

 

[spacemanspiff]

haha thats cool man debates can be fun. Ya i find Pit's kinda tough to

 

[SmileyStation]

There was one time i fought an MK player on GBs and my first stock all he did was tornado spam me. so i took his powers and used my up-b and tornado for the rest of the 2 matches i had with him. Man i wish i coulda saved that Aim convo. That crap was funny as hell. He was so mad and all i could say to him was: dont use metaknight.

Track him down and beat the living snot out of him with a rotten trout, while yelling "STOP SPAMMING!!!"
