It's slightly faster and allows you to move more freely while firing. It's also kind of distracting.

Almost normal, but my thumb is more elevated and pointed downward - I find that helps for the quick tap, and with moving straight to the C-stick to perform DI'ed FAIR's. (Tap back immediately before starting an aerial, and you will DI backwards while doing it, lessening your chance of being...

Nice job. I disagree on one point, though, and that is the Boomerang being the worst projectile. It is absolutely critical to controlling space, and controlling space is always essential for ruining an opponent's approach or doing simple mindgames. While it obviously suffers from Stale Moves...

Most of the techs in smash just require a lot of timing. I'm not a fan of slowing the game down and practicing in practice mode, because it teaches you improper timing, and is a waste of time unless you crucially need it. Go into practice mode and slow it down so that you can see when you...

Nice try, but tripping is random. This has been irrefutably proven to me by a video showing three marios in practice mode, all controlled simultaneously by the same player, all tripping at random times. If this were true, they would all trip at the same time because they would all exceed their...

Tripping is random. It might be Sakurai trying to **** with competitive players, but there is no in-game cause for it. It happens randomly.

In order: 1: How good am I with the character? -No point using a character you suck with, even if he's god tier. 2: How good is the character? (speed, power, KO moves, comboability, etc. that help determine tiers) -Even better if the character you're good with is god tier. 3: Do I like the...

Knowing only what I know now, I agree with the original poster. However, there is plenty of room for depth to be found within the game, and thus more room for the competitiveness that you define. Players are just beginning to gain mastery over their favorite characters, if you could call it...

Toon Link Pit Cap. Olimar ... Do I only get two more? I like both Ike and Marth, but I'm much better with Marth because he was one of my mains from Melee. Diddy Kong, King DeDeDe, Snake... I like too many of the characters.

Dair has always been horrible; even with L cancel from Melee. Use it where it presents a golden opportunity, never else. Keep in mind that it CAN spike, but it's likely to be spiking you, not your opponent, if you use it predictably.

Come from above, I say. You have plenty of projectiles that can strike from angles that Olimar can't handle. If you stay out from in front of him, you should be able to land boomerang hits, control his movement with arrow spam, and constantly pester him with bombs. If he throws pikmin at you...

1: Your game will suck. You don't have millions of dollars and experienced programmers or armies of alpha testers. 2: This is Brawl discussion. If anyone here cares, they can go care in the Light House, or more fittingly, the Pool Room.

Toon Link > Pit > Olimar So far, I'm fairly good with both Toon Link and Pit. I'm trying to get better with Olimar because he's a BAMF, but it's a work in progress.

The problem with stage builder FD is that stage builder stages are either all on random pick, or none on random pick. So if you have any other (****ty) custom stages, you're out of luck.

Good players use effective ("cheap") characters when they want a strategic advantage. Go ahead. You will find many people using him and other good (I'll refrain from citing tiers until they actually exist) characters.
