Hey, I'm gonna be attending SBU in the fall. Any smashers there wanna get together and play a bit this summer? (Assuming you won't be back home outside of LI)

I'm going to be attending Stony Brook this fall and have seen a few locals being hosted there (I haven't had the privilege of attending one due to prior commitments but have attended other locals). So, what is the smash scene like there? Any smashers willing to meet up and play a bit over this...

Wiimotes tend to have interference issues, and are generally not as good for smash as a GC controller. If youre going to get a GC controller, try to get the official white one. Best quality for your $ (if you want to spoil yourself a bit, Envy Gaming just released a line of custom controllers...

A disjointed hitbox is a hitbox with no hurtbox on it. For example, Marth's sword in any of his attacks has a hitbox, but there is no part of the sword that could be hit by another player (meaning take % and knockback, as it can still be clanked). You can use this to your advantage by staying...

This turned out really well. If I were you, I would resurvey sometime, however. The survey was posted on reddit on April fools day, so there's probably a good degree of error.

Not every attack is thrown out with the intent to hit you know. Just cuz you're throwing out attacks that dont hit doesnt mean you're just mashing buttons or not playing smart. Look at HBox in melee, not all of his attacks hit, but he throws them out with the intent to keep the opponent away.

Functionally, there are no clones. Even if the characters share move animations, there are ALWAYS differences in the play style that make them unique.

I wouldn't doubt that the could, they're brilliant programmers. They probably wouldnt though, and even if they would its probably very very low on the list

Iirc the reason a lot of them are banned is because: 1. Some of the stages have bugs (Norfair w/ ICs, nana sometimes just doesnt even spawn) 2. Some of the stages lag (Dracs for doubles has lagged slightly for me on occasion) 3. Some are just not excellent competitive stages (Castle Siege...

Wavedashing definitely. Especially with a traction like ICs or Luigi. Just imagine: you're walking somewhere. Asshole driver flips you off. You casually wavedash, catch up to him, and slide gracefully by with your middle finger raised in response

The new ones are SO GOOD! They have a much longer cord and are overall just great controllers. The used ones are a bit of a gamble (I picked up an awesome purple one for like 15, but a pretty messed up silver one for about the same too). Best place is through the smashboards amazon store...

Or you could click the hide option, that works too.

He has an entire thread devoted to requests! And yeah the C-Stick provides ASDI (automatic smash di) which moves your character slightly while in hitstun (only one movement though). Smash DI in tandem with ASDI helps you get out faster than just ASDI, but is a bit more involved

If you're after a skin, Theytah makes some nice ones! And yeah basically make it a training game. Maybe not like "dont get hit by X once" but like "successfully punish/avoid/minimize damage/etc." So for the PK fire example, maybe practice wavedashing out of range, or powershielding, or smash...

Try to play against humans, rather than cpus as much as possible. I know its hard, but still. Against cpus, try punishing your own bad habits (for example, killing yourself every time you roll when you shouldn't), and try integrating one tech at a time into your play (for example, work l...
