Good point. And aMSa and Axe are living proof that we're not even close to the threshold. Hell, even Armada beating everyone with Peach is evidence that 20XX is kinda bull.

Full hop, dip down until you're almost in Marth's tipper range, use your second jump to avoid the F-smash you just baited, then fast-fall Stomp/Knee. Also, like someone said, run up and do nothing but shield, then you can punish their nervous reaction. Dash dance out of their hit range and wait...

This whole thread is a joke. Melee is still growing after 13 years.

I didn't expect a Melee clone, and I get that wanting advanced techniques is wishful thinking. So I'm not disappointed, just correct. Hopefully one day Sakurai will realize the benefit of allowing advanced techniques. There is no valid counter-argument for allowing them. I played Melee for 6...

"I hate to break it to you, but some players literally throw in the towel when they see what it takes to be a professional melee player." Those people do not deserve to have the game catered to them. If I wanted to play basketball competitively, but after seeing how remarkably talented NBA...

First, refining being more fun than learning is subjective. Surely people find learning or inventing new techniques fun and rewarding. Second, competitive play isn't all about advanced techniques. While it might account for half (this point is debatable), the other half involves adaptability...

Dr. PP has been playing on point lately. I think he'll come in first. Something like: 1. Dr. PP 2. Mango 3. Armada 4. Hungrybox 5. M2K 6. Hax 7. Shroomed 8. KirbyKaze

Open question: how do you play against a campy Puff? Is this a tough matchup for Sheik?

I'm having trouble understanding your logic. On one hand, players are too lazy to work around Metaknight, a grossly overpowered character. On the other hand, players advocate to learn advanced techniques—many of which take hundreds of hours of practice to master and implement properly—the polar...

Well, think about it this way. Some stages, despite being programmed into the game, are banned because they aren't competitively up to par. My frame of reference is SSBM, so bear with me. Brinstar is a map that rotates 360 degrees while you fight, so therefore, due to the hostile and absurd...

This is the funniest thing I've read all day. Advanced Techniques make the game harder and more profound, which is why you can't liken it to "auto-999% damage hits". Without Advanced Techniques, SSBM would not be relevant today. It would not have a massive competitive scene and an MLG...

I've been a lurker for quite some time, and I've been playing SSBM for what feels like forever. I haven't attended any major tournaments because I don't think I can compete at that level yet, and because I live in Toronto, ON, which is pretty far out of the way. So yeah, I'm looking forward to...

In a way, yes. Because her combos are very basic at times. For example, down-throw, F-tilt, F-air. But on the other hand, a lot of characters have basic combos, and practiced Sheiks have very impressive movement and creative combos (like M2K or KirbyKaze).

Hey, I main Sheik and I've noticed that I have trouble with Puff, Fox, and good Falcons. That said, I was wondering what matchups you guys find to be in Sheik's favour and which ones are not. How am I supposed to play given an unfavourable matchup? For example, how does Sheik win against a good...
