Pit does have better pokes than dtilt, which itself is an infinitely better poke than ftilt, though only because ftilt is not good on shield. From a frame data perspective, jab 1 has the edge on dtilt as a poke while still having respectable range. (Most characters, particularly most...

(This might get lost in all the commotion, but it's worth the try.) Question: Why can't datamining ascertain ending lag/cooldown values? (And as an extension to that question: what values important to competitive smash can't datamining trivially extract at this point?) At least from what I've...

Backing up my earlier post, have some gfycats, everyone. And with a bonus combo: landing first hit nair into Blazer! http://gfycat.com/RedWatchfulGerbil http://gfycat.com/MilkyEvenBuckeyebutterfly http://gfycat.com/EminentHappyIndianrhinoceros

Landing nair first hit to both up tilt and forward tilt can be true combos at around 100-110%, according to training mode. I can't get forward smash, up smash, or up throw (~175%) to true combo from landing nair first hit, but they're still plausible follow ups. Kill confirms, anyone?

Surprisingly, we've only got one noteworthy Diddy main here in Colorado (he's not necessarily the most active, nor is he on the PR (yet), but he's placed well). Having said that, I've never played him in bracket, but I'll try to bring some things from a Pit perspective to the discussion. So...

Turns out that here in Colorado, we've got a good (unranked, though I get the feeling our PR's already out of date) Kirby main; after losing 1-2 to him in a Loser's Quarterfinals and playing him online (just now), here are some off-the-top-of-my-head notes. By all means debate anything you...

I'll attempt one for Pit. Feel free to correct as necessary. (I'll keep things simple by assuming default specials only.) Disadvantage: Poor For a character with a good recovery, 3 double jumps, and wings on his back, Pit's aerial mobility (38th in air speed) isn't very good for getting out...

Thanks for the detailed research! Out of curiosity, I see there's data for when hitboxes finish, but is there data on move cooldown times (after hitboxes finish until you can move again)?

I'd like to speak up in favor of wider stages like Final Destination and Town and City. Stages like Battlefield, while great for platform shenanigans, can get a little cramped if you're trying to zone opponents out with arrows--especially when facing characters who can just rush you down, like...

Hmm, having messed around with Quickdash Arm a bit, I feel that this move is less about power and trajectory and more about mobility and stage positioning. Mainly, it's got potential for cross-ups; even if the opponent shields it, if you're spacing the move correctly, you'll just end up quickly...

One more point supporting Guiding Bow: Diddy and Ness gimps. Normal arrows from Palutena's Bow already have the potential to give these two a hard time recovering, since all you need to do is hit them at just the right time (or in Ness' case, you can just shoot PK Thunder itself). Guiding Bow...

Are we even playing the same game as them? These two got over the physics changes pretty well.

Most of my guilty pleasures in Brawl are through Pit: 1. Consecutively F-airing someone with Pit off the stage 2. B-airing someone with Pit for a KO 3. B-airing someone with Pit into the FD stage for a really fun KO :P 4. Shooting someone with Pit's arrows off the stage until there's no more...
