I have no idea whatsoever what JAPANESE DI is. LoL
Dylan said that phrase like 6 pages ago, and I joined on the bandwagon cuz it's funny and cool.
\m/ This thread wont Die. Japanese DI.
I was high as a kite
Anyhow.. um today was rockage for me. I trained my fox a LOT a whole ****load im really getting good now I can see my moves going fluidly, mindgames, change of playstyle, adaptation. And my smash competitior tyler who breaks even with me ALL the time as we improve since we've been smashing for so long and learning the metagame with some other friends but mostly us two.
Im starting to understand more and more the mental aspect of competitive smash how it goes beyond stocks, or ''Knowin 1337 comboz and havin a combo videoz vs ma friends bad DIz''
Its about adapting to another persons playstyle to take advantage and how good you can punish his mistakes, and when on the offence, how long you can pressure and use your situation to your advantage to get that essential hit and then the kill or whatever.
But defence is something I worked on today, I play fox vs a REALLY good marth now and he chaingrabs and all that, which rules.
My newest trick, all fox/falco users I would suggest this.
Round 20 percentish, SMASH DI, as in smack both c-stick and joystick upwards at the same time as he throws, you then WOBBLE the control stick to get out of the tumble, then jump. If you do it right you will jump out directly above marths head, he can no longer chianthrow you past 20 - 30 percent if you master it, which I did today ^_^
Just a tip among thousands but its a great Defensive game. Smash DI is really great, for that extra little boost that can mean life or death, especially vs tipper range
