    Observation: The Key to Higher Level Smash Play

    Nicely written post mookierah. It has encouraged me to somehow not let my morale control how I play. I've noticed whenever I say in my mind, "I might lose this match", I have done so. I especially break down when I feel like I'm doing well at first, but then my opponent adapts to what I'm...

    What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone say about Smash?

    Most people I have met r willing to admit they have much to learn, so I guess I'm lucky. One person said the follwing: "Wavedashing is so useless. All it does is make u get hit more and besides, it's not like it's unpredictable." Fortunately, I explained to him its uses and how it was done...

    UCLA VII: AVALANCHE - was too good, does no one do shout-outs anymore? WOW

    I felt pretty out of place at the tournament. There I was, my first time playing playing people that had been to tournaments and surrounded by college students(I’m a freshman at high school.) Nevertheless, I had a great time and would definitely come again. Thx for allowing me to have this...

    Critique my Marth

    I'm not a very experienced smasher, but I think your most frequent reaction when u saw Sheik coming at u was to shield, and sometimes u shielded pretty early, which restricts your defensive options. You might not seem as safe when u don't shield, but if keep your opponent guessing, you're more...

    Some Tips on Nervous-Messing-Up Stuff?

    I had already tried the method of letting a comp hit me, but I stopped trying it. You're probably right that it will come instinctively if I countinue, so I'll try it again. It might take some time to find the perfect comp character that uses a semi powerful attack that's not too slow often...

    Some Tips on Nervous-Messing-Up Stuff?

    Nice to know I'm not the only one that is badly affected with being nervious. When I was new to the advanced techniques, I was too afraid I would mess up and I wouldn't use them. Instead I used Dsmash, dash attacks, and rolled too much(especially since using Dsmash and dash attacks a lot is a...

    Edgehogers

    Edgehogging is part of edgeguarding, which is in the How to Play Video. It said that part of playing the game is to intercept your opponents recovery. As it has been stated b4, a player is recieves points for doing it, so it was supossed to be part of the game. What many people need to...

    Murphy's Law of Smash

    111) When u play a new, really predictable player who just spams fsmash, they somehow mess up and use usmash instead. You were expecting to block an fsmash, but u see the usmash and lower your shield to strike, only to get fsmashed. 112) Whenever u wavedash backwards to avoid Marth's...

    Fox a good 2ndary for a marth main?

    Interesting. One of the reason I had Fox as my secondary was to fight Sheik. I had to spend some days to work on Fox alone to make him compareable to my Marth tho. Depending on how dedicated u r, Fox can be a good choice or a bad one. Falco is a great option if u choose not to stick with...

    My marth vs my friends CF

    On the second match, I noticed that u began to Fsmash quite a bit more from your first match, so I can't really say use Fsmash less or more. On the second, u used Fsmash a little too much, and most of them were almost hits. A tendency that a lot of people have including myself is that the...

    Anti-marth?

    This is something I see a lot. U can't use mind games on sum1 who blindly spams C-stick very well. The chances r if they r at this stage of ssbm, they will most likely fall for this: dash in his melee attack range and then WD backwards quickly so he will probably miss so u can punish him...
