lawl Either way, this is interesting. I hope we can replicate this eventually, even if we must call it the Gornel. (jp, Gornel)

heh, sorry if the material was really dense. I tend to get carried away with my random writings. :laugh: qft. Same goes for Anther, f'sho. I'd like to see an analysis like that. My guess is that the defensive player would be disadvantaged. IMO, there's nothing inherently wrong with a...

Yeah, I had this problem too when I wanted to incorporate spot dodging into my Melee game. This is going to sound lame, but you just need to practice. I'd go over replays and see where I could incorporate a defensive maneuver instead of doing something else. Above all, you'll need patience. Bad...

qft. Good find, Brown. I'm pretty sure this is going to be useful eventually.

Thanks, Hitaku. This is helpful.

Well, I just did this three times in a row with Lucario, but I definitely can't get it down consistently yet. It pretty much looks like this is just going to take a lot of practice. You have to aim basically at the very tip of the ledge, and then you have to barely nick the ledge just enough so...

IASA = Interruptible As Soon As wavedashingluigi, I think you're exactly right about potential uses for this. Good way to take care of the rollers. Maybe not a new technique, yeah, but good to know nonetheless.

I'm a scrub. ...which is a bad thing. But I'm going to admit that frankly to myself, because over a few of my previous games, I've been: 1) Cutting off my barrage of arrows while playing Pit against friends because I was afraid (yes, AFRAID) of being called "cheap." 2) Getting flustered by...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Much appreciated. haha, well, I definitely wouldn't mind... :D That makes sense, actually. I mean, you could have the best technical ability in the world, but you can't utilize that ability if you can't position yourself correctly to use it. Both go almost...

haha Azumanga Daioh... great anime. Teczero, your sig rocks. Well, anyway, onto the topic. You know, I have two friends who play basically like you described, just that one of them rolls a lot and one of them spot dodges a lot. IMO, one adjustment you can make against these types of players...

Agreed. KingAce, I'll just stress the word "release," because it's not the strength you use to press the button, but how quickly you release the button that matters. By the way, I'm pretty sure if you asked most people they'd tell you that using the control stick for jumping is unusual. But I...

You make me feel inferior hahaha Yeah, I guess you're right. It's pretty long-winded, that's for sure. I guess I'll just develop this in the depths of my crusty mind or somethin'. :bee:

A common response to the question, “What makes players good?” is, “They win a lot.” But for any of us who’ve ever received that answer, we know it’s vague at best. I want a more specific answer to this question, myself being someone who would like to become a proficient smasher. I’m going to...

Agreed: That new controller is sexy. I'll probably stick with the GC controller. I'm trying to get my hands on a Wavebird, though (you know, for the street cred).

This should clear up my vague description, heh: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JoHVgV0MU48 At approximately 4:42 Diddy clings onto the side of the stage and does a sort of slide up the stage. I dunno if that'd be considered a wall jump or something else. I don't really mind what it's called...
