Tatsu must be multi hit. You can see it clank with Roy's F smash (grey circles), then Roy gets hit a bit afterward.

Editing Kirby's copy abilities is one of the hardest things logistically for the PMBR to do, and they've said before they won't change them unless there's a dire need to. Most of them are indeed still the vBrawl version.

1) Normalize the stun/travel distance on copy. Several characters can mash out and punish kirby for copying (e.g. anybody who can DJC), and that just shouldn't happen. I'm not a big fan of how mashing out of starshot works either, but it's safe and affords some gimmicky mixups. Copy is just...

Footstools on a shielded opponent can often lead to better punishes than inhales. That's generally where I think about using them. As far as more tech, I would look into Dash Attacking off platforms. There's a lot of subtlety in timings and control that are worth practicing. Your aerial...

When you say get out, do you mean tech or DJ/nair out? If I DI hard sideways on Kirby and Luigi at 0%, I still get the regrab before either hits the ground. Lugi's a really tight timing, maybe 1 frame, but it's definitely possible. Kirby's is pretty easy. You don't JC, just stand and grab as...

Kirby. Kirby has a true chaingrab in the mirror that works from zero until death percents. To my knowledge, nobody except Kirby can be regrabbed on DI away by the standing grab. However, there are several that you can regrab with dash+JC grab (essentially the really floaty characters): Zelda...

Most of Kirby's throw combos don't work if the opponent DIs away. In fact, pretty much the only time you don't want to DI kirby's throws away are 1) Bthrow 2) Dthrow on the edge if you're one of the characters he can spike with it. That being said, if you fthrow at the edge, people will...

Yeah, the FB page is generally the best place to keep up to date. Hivemind (the MSU Lan party group) is running an eSports event next week that includes Melee and PM (plus other fighting games, Starcraft II, League of Legends, and Counterstrike: GO), but it sounds like you're not going to be...

I'm surprised me getting beat down by DK is a hype match. Not my proudest moment. Props to Missoula and Kali for putting up some great play in PM. The puffball's got work to do.

I'm not expecting much (read: anything) out of this, but I'll be in Billings from now until mid-august, and it'd be nice to have an opportunity to play. Feel free to post or PM me.

it's $50 for full registration, then $10 for each official tournament you register for. http://www.devastationevent.com/faq#cost

I'll be there.

'Playing to win' is not ill defined. A game is a set of rules that determine how the game is to be played, and one or more conditions that qualify as 'winning' the game. In the case of Brawl, the ruleset would be the conditions inherent in the programming of the game (characters, controls...

Its great to see a regular tournament within a viable traveling distance. It's too bad I couldn't participate on account of Thanksgiving weekend time constraints, but I at least got to spectate a bit. I doubt I'll be able to make December (unless it's before the 18th), bu I will be there in...

I'm in Billings for the summer (up until the end of August). I'd be up for matches.
