High level cpu's powershield in situations that are extremely unlikely for a human to use. The general consensus is to practice on level 7. As others said, computers help with technical skill. They help with improving concepts like spacing, but don't lend too much faith to practice acquired...

TSSIISHHWRTNBATARTNSAKEPNTCH A rough decode of overswarm's hint. My money is on ness.

Just like other people have said in this thread, fun. If winning if your only objective, then picking MK or snake would be your best bet. But, if you genuinely like the way your low-tier main plays and have fun doing so, why should you switch?

I was thinking back to the ECRC C3 matches where ninjalink beat him up with diddy. But, checking the dates on those videos, it's quite likely that m2k studied the match up intensively and learned a way around it. Apologies for being out of date.

^ With Ike, you're going to get punished a lot of the time, even if you're spacing well, depending on the match up. If you miss a smash, you're just about always going to get punished. Miss d-tilt or f-tilt? punished, depending more or less on the character for the F-tilt. Ike is simply easy...

^ Playing highly punishable characters will cause you to learn more about mindgames, reading your enemy's reactions, and throwing out laggy attacks in anticipation of their moves. I don't consider myself to be particularly skilled with MK, but even I can see how spacing is a bigger part of his...

I'm amazed so many people have missed Sky's point. Of course metaknight has an advantage against other characters, but it's all about the level of play. In the absolute metagame of smash bros, where you'll face M2k, DSF, etc., Knowledge of match-up's is *still* a determining factor. For example...

I think the best way to start a match is with a simple handshake and a statement of 'good luck' or some other encouraging words. I go to tournaments to meet with other smashers, have fun, and improve my game. People who trash talk and always give out johns take away from that spirit of having...

I consider gimping a part of the game, and characters with tether recoveries typically have some means to counteract ledge hogging. Ivysaur has razor leaf.

This thread is silly. The entire concept of a tier list is representing characters at their metagame. Let's look at metaknight for example. One of the reasons he his so high on the tier list is that when played properly, he is almost impossible to punish. A newbie may be making countless...

it's been awhile since anyone has posted in this thread. Anyways, i'm a brawl player from the midwest looking for people to play with. My spanish speaking skills are limited, but I always enjoy a good challege. I'm living in the caguas area. If anyone close by wants to play, or anyone is...

I'm not a TL main, so take this all with a grain of salt. The biggest flaw i noticed was not taking advantage of TL's b-air. The move combos wonderfully, and using it properly would greatly improve your game. Also, learning how to space more effectively, with using z-airs would be effective...

Can someone from the back room let us know when to expect an update in this thread? It's been over a month, and the puzzle was solved weeks ago.

Ook, i've tried using the l-trigger for special. It's a bit easier than using B, but B-sticking is still over easier. You don't need to hit back and forth quickly with b-sticking, simply pressing back on the b-stick is enough. Still, i'll play around with it and see if getting over the learning...

God-is-my-rock reported about the GFSC, or ground foot stool combo. His thread on the topic can be found here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=197102 The technique allows DK to perform a grounded footstool jump into a headbutt, which becomes an inescapable combo. However, the...
