My main practice partner is a fox, and since we play often, he knows the matchup pretty well. When he's at low percent (like <40ish), he tends to use run-up crouch cancel right in front of me because fox can CC all of Samus' tilts until a recently high percent. I've been beating this with down...

I've been having a huge main crisis recently and after my most recent tournament I finally decided to make the switch to Samus. However, as I've been trying to learn her missile tech, I'm having some questions and difficulties, mainly with dropping through a platform and shooting a missile. Do...

Awesome, that makes a ton of sense. Thanks!

When I'm playing against fox mains, sometimes after I shine them (I'm pretty sure it's when they don't DI), they get sent at a weird trajectory and they aren't put into hitstun. It always puts them in a weird position and I don't know how to follow up. Considering I never see this happen in...

I've been messing around with Samus and am debating picking her up (maybe as a main), but I've been having huge issues with her missles. I have a really hard time doing FH FF missles consistently. Is there any trick to making it easier, or do I just have to grind it out until I can do them?

Thank you everyone! I can punish it pretty consistently now.

What's happening is he approaches with nair/drillshines all the time and I shield because I don't know how else to deal with it. What GenNyan said is kind of working though.

Also, I mean nair/drillshines on my shield

How do you beat it? I play a fox that does nair/drillshines constantly and I can't figure out how to punish it. Do I just have to avoid it, or is there some better way of dealing with it?

Can you rewire a controller so that when I press x, an input for z comes out and vice versa?

I just tried rewiring an old controller I have. It didn't go so well. I'm used to using z for jump so would claw grip work? Is claw grip weird to use?

Thanks! I guess I'll be getting into melee

Competitive smash has been a hobby of mine for about a year now. I play mostly smash 4, but I've always loved watching melee and have some friends who play melee. The main factor that holds me back is that I have strange custom controls where z is jump and r is grab. My conclusion is to use a...

I found a glitch(?) While playing with my brother the other day where if you release ZSS's stungun right before you hit the ground it makes no noise as it travels. Is this a tech worth mastering? It definitely screws up my brother every time I get it, but it has really strict timing.

Just curious about what other people use. I always use up taunt.
