If anyone going by the name Soul is here (uses Mewtwo), I just want to say that you and I had a lot of chemistry and I'd love to play against you again someday.

I've seen this as well, a lot of players who are at a way higher level than the usual For Glory fare. A lot of B-reversing, perfect pivoting, pivot grabs, etc. Playing a little too flashy to actually win but still way better than usual, making me wonder where these people came from all of a sudden.

I've also seen the "Flowchart" play move from some characters to others. It used to be mainly Link/Ness/Sonic but now I'm seeing a lot of ROB/Luigi players using the same rinse-and-repeat tactics.
While I haven't seen any Perfect Pivoting yet, I've noticed a lot of players doing b reverses and pivot grabs as well, often to the extent of them actually putting themselves in danger simply because they prefer style over fundamentals.

One of the weirdest flowcharts I've seen recently was from a Meta Knight player. His entire style was based upon trying to hit me with an up b. Once I realized what he was doing, I literally was able to run up to him and shield, and he would immediately use up b. If the matchmaking has improved, then this guy has been relying on his opponent's lack of matchup experience to win and nothing else.

These types seem to leave after one game. I almost never play against ROB on FG but it seems like they all use the same way of playing now: Aerial uncharged Gyro at the start of the match, try to combo that into a Nair, repeat until kill percent, then spam usmash. Laser game is almost completely nonexistent, and they get lost when I pick up the gyro.

Luigi....just fish for grabs all day and dthrow to fair/down B until dead.

I guess I'm only doing this to myself by playing For Glory though.

I did get a new controller today and found myself playing a lot smoother, though. Big relief off my chest because I started to doubt my ability to play.

Excellent games to a ZSS player (who used the classic orange costume) named Daniel. It was refreshing to fight a Zero Suit who didn't just fire the paralyzer, then run up and dash attack the entire game. He was super aggressive and had some nice reads. I salute you sir.

I have faced those Luigi's all the time, but the fact that flowchart R.O.B. is becoming more common surprised me. I have only seen one R.O.B. since the update, and not only were his fundamentals some of the strongest I've seen online, but he obviously had a lot of experience against Palutena.

has anyone else noticed the quality of players on the wii U for glory seems to have risen lately? prior to the mewtwo update I was still getting several mediocre to ok players in wii U for glory, all of which I could handle fairly well. But lately after the update I've been running into several more competent players that give me quite a challenge and/or flat out destroy me. Players who know actual tricks like b-reversals, and actual ground lock setups.

Did nintendo update the actual matchmaking so we're getting players based more on our win %'s now, or have I just been i I lucky/unlucky lately?
I agree with this, people seem better lately, but it could always be a placebo.
Also way too many Captain Falcons (though most are pretty good). I feel like people who play him aren't confident in their own masculinity, but that's just my opinion~

Oh, huh, I didn't think I would find someone from here. If you want to play more games with me, just add me. I usually accept requests.

Just possibly played the funniest online match ever with some guy called 00-zero. Will have to upload it to my YT channel.
Also as a fellow sheik main loved all the advanced techs you were using.

3DS - Someone here a Mega Man and Dark Pit main named Vidiot? You did very well with both of those characters! We played about 5 or 6 games, haha. But then I had to leave. ;~;

Name's Timmy; was the Ness in the White & Orange Shirt lol.

@ Nexin Nexin was that you with the red :4palutena:? Good games! I was the black :4zss: :4marth: :4zelda:.
Yeah, that was me. Those were some awesome matches, especially the ones with Zero Suit. Anyways, I sent you a friend request after the last match. Hope to play you again in the future.

You just ran into some rare good players in FG. But if you really want to look for a good fight and practice, then switch to Smash Ladder. It is immensely better than FG. You won't be disappointed.

I fought a player named DeBuff who played a Lucina and Dark Pit. It started as Sonic vs Lucina, then you switched to D-Pit, so I switched to Pit. The clone matches we had were amazing. Definitely the best Dark Pit I have ever fought. You made great use of the short hop F-air/N-air and I can't remember how many times I got caught by those :laugh:. I learned a lot from these matches, though I wish I had saved them to look back on. I hope you and I can play against each other in the future again :).

[3DS] I played a Peach main named Clansee. Wasn't expecting good matches this early on to be honest. It usually takes me sometime in FG to find some good players, but you were my first opponent and just so happened to be good. If you see this, I'd like to play your Peach again. GGs.

GGs to a Sheik player named @00-Zero on the Wii U. You really kept me on my toes with all those advanced techniques you were using.

I was the Palutena player with the Nexin tag. I hope I get to face you again in the future.

I had no chance. I should have saved at least one or two of those matches so I could learn from them.

S/o to an excellent player named Dayton for some awesome twelve matches today! You had the name "DTG" for your in-game tag name, and you are a very skilled Kirby player in particular (you were also pretty good with your other characters too). In all of the matches you used Kirby, I lost to you. However, you did switch with some characters, namely Game and Watch, Donkey Kong, Link, Yoshi, Falco, and Megaman. I was the player that used Greninja, Shulk, Lucario, and Sheik against you (those characters are my three mains). I played with Greninja and Shulk four times, Lucario three times, and Sheik for our last match. Out of the twelve matches we played, you won seven of them (four with your Kirby, one with Game and Watch, one with Donkey Kong, and one with Falco), while I won five of them (one while playing Greninja against your G&W, two with Shulk against your DK and Link, and two with Lucario against your Yoshi and Megaman). It was a pleasure being able to face you online!

If anyone sees my online on Wii u I usually go by the mii CMHY30XX. I've been playing Marth lately, because I feel like I was good with Marth for a short time. I've been improving him and as I do my Captain Falcon ans Sheik get better... I am feeling a little depressed so if u c me on there send me a friend request. Also can someone get rid of the annoying poor playing trash talkers online

GGs to a Shulk/Falcon user named "Ian". Your Falcon was perhaps the best I have faced even surpassing my own. Your ability to punish is 10/10. Flippin awesome matches. Only complaint I have was that horrendous lag in the later matches.

I was [SB]Metal who used a Red Donkey Kong/JigglyPuff/and Red Falcon.

Just played someone named zapd0s on 3DS FG, they played Marth, Ike and Lucina and we had some cool Marth vs Lucina matches. I would love to play you again to learn more about Marth.

Wii-U: Anyone here heard of someone named "Kevin" or "iluvkes(?). Wii-U name is gardner159. Guy was beastly, I even busted out random characters I hardly ever use and did decently against him.

If you're on this board, GG's man. Those were fun.

I forgot his/her name, but the Japanese player played Ganon in ways I've never seen before and I use him frequently. He was quite speedy too. I go by 21Gmix if he just happens to stumble across here.
