What's with all the spammers on online mode?

[Fluggerson]

Seriously this is not fun at all. I have these guys in a lot of my matches. I want a fun, simple, 1v1 but they just have to spam to win >.>

 

[Terrazi Terrajin]

Well what else are they gonna do, pick up an item? Oh.

 

[Reila]

You can always punish them. Unless they are a Pikachu spamming neutral B. **** that ****.

Well i can't punish them when i can't approach them with their spamming. i'm playing robin and he can't approach very well and my spells are cancelled by their spamming crud and also i have to charge my thunder

 

[Hoezay]

Spamming moves leads to stale moves to go in effect so jokes on them

 

[hiramsthoughts]

Why do people keep making use of the moves that are good on their characters? From time to time they should use a move that sucks so I have a chance to win.

It's easy to get a Pikachu to stop spamming. All you have to do is give them that opening they're looking for to run in and USmash you.

Its not "spamming" if its just constantly working. I haven't been able to jab spam pretty much ANYONE with Mac because they all make me pay for trying it. Just switch to a diff character to counter what they're doing. I'd keep jabbing you too if you weren't stopping me.

 

[tebby]

adjust your play style to accommodate that then

im playing greninja and that **** does not work on me

 

[Darklink401]

Spamming is annoying. It's interesting, however. I was facing this guy that kept spamming Zero Suit Samus' dash attack knee and after a match or two of that I was able to counter perfectly. So it was really easy. However, then he switched to Dark Pit, using actual solid gameplay and it was MUCH harder. In fact, qhen he switched back to ZSS I beat him with two lives left. Some don't even know that solid gameplay is much better than just using a good move over and over until your opponent learns how to counter it.
I myself like to spam a bit during matches with my friends, but only for the lulz XP

 

[SagaTheMeow]

I am not a competitive player so maybe i am not the right player to give you an answer but, i always assumed that if i am getting spammed, it´s my own fault for not being able to counter a single move effectively.

I will learn to and get them next time.

I never said it was constantly working, though. he spammed it whenever i tried to approach him and he would spam his dash attack to approach me and then jab even more when i tried to recover to the stage.

That's the spirit~

It's pretty much what you gotta do. :3


Also, Fluggerson, if you got annoyed by it, it must have been constantly working, or else you'd be just laughing at him XD js

 

[RespawningJesus]

If they are spamming the same move and are getting away with it, then that is your own fault. You gotta adapt when playing online. Fail to do so , and you are going to lose frequently.

 

[FastWheels]

Don't tell me what not to do.

i honestly don't care if you spam in four player matches or just for fun, but if it's a 1v1 you shouldn't be spamming it. you are just showing u have no skill to beat your opponent so u have to use cheap tactics to do the job.

Also, people saying that i am letting them do it and that i'm bad for not knowing how to stop it, it's not me. Robin is slow at running, he is very slow to get back on stage and is already vulnerable by the time he gets off the ledge and back on stage. it is impossible to dodge all of their spamming when he can not do anything about it when Robin's spells get negated by their spamming and Robin's approach is terrible without his spells. it's even worse when Robin is against fast characters like little mac/sheik/zero suit samus.

 

[Gawain]

Spamming the same move will just get you easily beaten by anyone competent. Really the only character I think anyone would have any success with spamming is Little Mac. His smashes are fast and strong and with the laggy matches you sometimes get I could see that being a problem. Fortunately I haven't had laggy Mac matches and I can just d-throw into knee at 70 percent for an absurdly easy KO

I'm sure he has SOMETHING in his repertoire. I mean he's a long range fighter, he can keep Little Mac at bay. Elfire, for example, would be great to block him.

Too bad his dash attack is so damn fast and he can always just roll or dodge it.

 

[LancerStaff]

How to beat infinite jabs in two easy steps.

Step 1: Pick Pit.
Step 2: Upperdash Arm.

 

[Darklink401]

Use Elfire. He'll have to roll either back, or forward
If he rolls towards you, grab him, throw him back, and repeat process
If he rolls away, charge Thoron.

I mean, it'd likely vary on HIS skill level and your ability to do this in the heat of the moment, but I'm sure with enough practice it'd be easy.

 

[Happy Feet]

It's not like Spamming Mac jab is un-punishable like ledge camping use to be lol. If they're spamming you with a dash attack, shield and grab, if it's a link using d-air roll and punish. Hell, especially against a Lil mac just throw him up into the air and then stay under him for the rest of the game. He literally can't do anything once he's in the air. Your inability to see what you can do to work around what they can do will just make it so you will never improve.

 

[Gawain]

It's called your shield bud. Shields are very strong and even more important this time around. Robin is all about set up. You're supposed to get control of the stage and then hold it.So if he tries to dash attack you, just shield grab him and then punish his dashing with Elfire and levin-uair.

You can't shield after using El Fire, mate. I know how to shield.

By the time I cast el fire, he'll already be running towards me.
Also, grabbing with robin is not good for me since it is so slow and very punishable.
thoron takes too long to charge and he'll be already going for me with dash attacks.

Why does everybody pick random when playing online? I'm literally the only one that stays playing one single character.

 

[LckyAce]

To be honest with you, you have to learn to counter what the player does. I have encountered many Lil Mac players, and all they do is dash attack/spam A. (It also doesnt help that I play G&W) but I learned how to counter what they do. (Roll, and Dash, Grab )

 

[Reila]

Well, I can only speak for myself, but the game is out for one day, so I am still testing most characters in order to eventually pick a main.

 

[Beastferu]

I faced one Mario today who didn't run to the edge of the stage and spam fireballs, and it was a pretty good match. It's so much more better as you're actually training against a realistic opponent when they aren't spamming. But it's only natural that people will do that because they care about their ratio more than anything. I stopped caring for mine when I realized that people would do anything to keep theirs high, and besides, I'm doing For Glory to practice.

 

[Gawain]

I didn't say to shield after elfire. I said to shield when he dash attacks you. You use elfire when the stage is neutral. Which tends to happen after any of Robin's throws since he can't follow up on pretty much any of them. Just shield grab/b-throw and then set up. Mac's aerials are awful too, just get him into the air and use Robin's extremely good uair. As long as you dont screw up the spacing he literally has nothing that can beat that move.

If you can't take out Little Macs just pick a character who will be able to easily gimp Mac, like Mario, and camp near the ledge.

palutena spammers are the worst.

No, but seriously, while I do get pissed by spammers, I do eventually beat them because it becomes much more obvious on what they're gong to do that I can counter their spamming easily.

 

[Marxally]

I haven't found any spammer yet, just a MetaK who whas doing all the time side-b, and I mean ALL THE TIME, but he lose.. xD. As Dr. Mario main, I just use B when they are away waiting for me (little poke, pills hurt like a hug...) or when they are recovering. I play like a nordic, holy ****, spammers are *******. (?)

**** my life.... it didn't work. i got a little mac and he spammed dash attack and i couldn't grab him once he's so ****ing fast.
