I'm a new fox player and I could use some advice. I'm trying to play him as a sort of opportunist/chasing character but I have a lot of trouble punishing opponents and I get punished easily. I find myself easily comboed despite my best efforts to stay defensive and shield/air dodge obvious...

Thank you so much for this fantastic post. I will take every one of these points into consideration. Seriously, this is so helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate it.

Do you think maybe I would need to reinput left or right? Like if I had been holding it from before I started being hit, that might not be able to move me?

Do you have any suggestions for improving connection? I sit very close to my router. I know that having speakers on nearby causes some pretty massive lag so I started wearing headphones instead, which improved things substantially. If there are any other standard fixes for this kind of thing I'd...

For #4, as I said that had no effect. For several combos like Arcfire -> SH LSFair or Palutena's Dthrow -> Fair I was under the impression that these were true combos and could not be avoided. I can do them a hundred times in a row in practice or against a CPU.

I'm not talking about learning the basics of the game. I have been playing smash games since 1999. I have probably played through classic mode 5000 times. The trouble I am having is that split second timings which definitely work for other people do not work when I try them. Let me give you...

I don't really have the option to play offline. I only know one person who owns this game and he lives a thousand miles from me. I am going to be moving multiple times in the coming months as well. What characters would you suggest? I'm rolling rando on FG right now but I keep getting zelda...

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I'll be online most of the day today, so whenever you'd like.

I am apparently just not understanding the mechanics of this game correctly. Something about my timing for shields, spot dodges, air dodges, rolls, and grabs is always way way off. On online, I'll think I air dodge something and get hit by it anyway, sometimes 10 or more times in a row. Same...

You can land the jab somewhat reliably by leading into it with dthrow -> SH fair. Make sure you don't sweet spot the fair, otherwise you'll knock them too far away to be hit by the jab. Instead, try to get the hitbox from near your torso instead of the tip of the foot. This will drop them right...

It is! I haven't been into the series in a while but this username dates back to 2005 or so...

I'm down to play with you guys any time. FC is 2707-1679-3227

I'm moving out in 2 days.

I'm playing on 3DS and my lag online is enormous, my button presses come out a full second after I input them so there's absolutely no way I can play online. I'm not really in a position to meet up with people to play frequently since I'll be moving several times in the next few months, and my...

light blue G&W definitely the best color, we need a rainbow one for this board
