that up b aint helping. so vulnerable. you can ledge hop dair onto the platform, and auto cancel it, runoff fair into grab. i also think the fair into grab is a lie my guess is it can be rolled out of after the fair. but your opponent would need to be on point for that!

if you are new to ylink start out just playing the cpu and the 1 player story mode. learn his movesset, and get an idea for the spacing and speed of his attacks. that is really the #1 thing. from there, get good with placing the boomerang exactly where you want it, same with arrows. of course...

i really really like all of this! will try to post back in the next few days with thoughts/ analysis

yeah, i almost play netplay everyday. :-) i tried to get FM working, but it kept dropping inputs. i think it was because fm doesnt seem to run at a stable fps, its always pingponging between 58and 63 fps, and my old adapter could only be used on PC mode. i got a new adapter, and wii u mode...

for anyone who still cares, here is the fsmash changeup at work in a netplay match https://gfycat.com/CreepyTartAlbacoretuna

Anyone have any experience with the 40" Sony Trinitron TVs (KV-40XBR700, KV-40XBR800)? All I can find is one mention to avoid them because they are "newer and can possibly lag", but I wanted to know if anyone had any direct experience with them lagging or not. Thanks!

Just would like to say, I am not trying to do anything in moving the character forward, nor do I think this is some revolution in how ylink is played, etc. I just wanted to remind people of some of the tools available that they so easily dismiss. The final hit of fsmash is a great hit, its just...

yeah, its easiest setup is catching dthrow techrolls for me.

alrighty, then you will just have to put up with me :-). I agree they are basic to the game, but my argument is they can add some utility to the otherwise nearly useless fsmash.

I fear you have misunderstood me. I meant the whole point of using fsmash, not ylink. Thanks for the advice, but frankly, if I did not play ylink, I would just stop playing this game. Smash would indeed be over. Beating PR players or garnering respect, or being special or cool is not why I play...

then smash indeed is over. everyone give up and play another game. *la la la lala laa* the whole point of using it is because no one else uses it. gonna have to think outside of the box sometimes ;-)

I posted this to reddit, so if the occasionally thing does not make sense.... As you may have noticed by now by the flood of gfycats ( see reddit ), I am not a very technically sound player of the game. I lack speed, and frankly I ignore most of the basic tech skill many players take for...

im just waitin for temple to be the only legal stage....... :shyguy:

sorry i was not clear. i meant your wave dashing game created some openings for you to get grabs off of whiffs, but you just kept dashing. would love to discuss further. marth can often feel like my worst matchup.

thanks. finally getting around to watching this. would be interested to hear your analysis. my takeaways are that you really had alot of success with the spot dodges early on, but then they were too much and they started to harm you. i dunno if that was just you intentionally over using them...
