is anyone able to consistently subfloat out of a dash?

It's not a very difficult tech, you'll be able to do it consistently on different characters if you just practice it. Do you have 20XX? You set the AI to always grab or roll out of sheild. You can practice your timing using the AI. My advice is just grinding it out this way until you can do...

Thanks to #SplitsOnTrees for pointing out this thread to me. In the peach subforum I wrote a write-up on how game theory can be applied to melee. You can find it here. I've specifically looked at RPS situations after peach hits an opponent on shield with various frame advantages, but the...

Have you ever looked into "option selects" in melee? It's something that's common in other fighting games, but there is almost no discussion of it in melee. For a while I was looking into seeing what power shield option selects peach has. Here's a simple example that isn't very good but is just...

So the game theory that I'm doing the writeup is for "simultaneous games," which are situations where you and your opponent cannot simply react to eachothers options but are forced to guess. Basically weird rock-paper-scissors games. You don't need any of that game theory here to decide which...

Yes there is, actually. If you're interested in doing a aerial interrupt upair immediately after an upthrow, you can hold shield the whole time and buffer a jump by holding up on c-stick. Then you can roll the c-stick to the 45' position to trigger the upair. The nice thing about this technique...

Hi everyone, There's been quite a bit of discussion in the Peach forums about how to deal with "rock,paper, scissors"-like situations that peach often encounters. I've mentioned on the forums before how these situations can be thought of as "simultaneous games" which can be solved using game...

I think I overreacted a little bit after hearing enthusiasm from others. If you don't have the motivation to work on this stuff - that's fine. But I think I might have overwhelmed you with a lot of what has been bubbling in my head for a long time. I think the most interesting stuff in the...

I thought you were asking a much more subtle question. I think I understand what you were asking now, but I don't think we're exactly on the same page. I expect any confusion you have will be resolved by my future writeup. In general it'd be more efficient for me to explain everything correctly...

I am extremely happy that there is any interest in this. Having a single person to talk these ideas out with is extremely helpful in itself. Having multiple people is fantastic. If you are at all interested in this stuff, I strongly encourage you to contribute. To the people already familiar...

Short-answer: Probably will be necessary if we go really, really deep into this stuff. But way too hard for now. Also bad for understanding what's going on. Long-answer: Using a heuristic (heuristic = "rule of thumb for what's good") for "payoff" (payoff = the numbers in the matrix) other than...

I have some experience in game theory, so I'm interested in using this information to figure out the optimal mixup for peach. I plan on doing a big write-up introducing game theory and how it can be used in melee. And I think I will use some of this peach data as a starting point. The math...

Do you think there is an easy way to check if I'm getting +4 on a FC fair? I'm trying to confirm that this stuff is possible with a controller (in 20XX 3.02) and it's difficult for me to troubleshoot what I'm doing wrong. So for example I don't know if I'm not +4 OR if I'm not doing a perfect...

I'm a fairly technical peach. I have very fast, consistent FC nairs. (I can FC-nair out of sheild, beat sheildgrab with FCnair +grab, etc) I cannot, for the life of me, beat a shieldgrab (in 20xx) with FCd nair after FC'd fair. Are you sure this is actually possible with a controller? Has...

I will be in Ibaraki prefecture until the 29th of June. So if there's any plans within 2 weeks, I would be interested. I play melee, brawl, and PM (fairly average at all of them) and can speak a little japanese.
