    so how much do we think directional air dodging is actually gonna shake up the meta?

    Or people will learn a new game. There are plenty of games of you want 0 - Death true combos.

    Social Swaggin' On 'Em - The Luigi Thread

    That Pop sound effect on his throws just makes killing with back throw even more disrespectful.

    "Green Thunder" - Luigi SSB5 Combo and Tech Sharing Thread

    Tether is actually useful for outspacing neutral options to land a grab. Grab range in general as well as grab out of shield has been nerfed globally. Tether grabs are good for catching aerial approaches and punishing characters who like to spam neutral options to cover whiffed aerials. I'm...

    RCO Air Speed

    Yay! According to Kuroganehammer Fair's FAF is at 24 compared to frame 33 out of an air dodge. Thanks for the info!

    RCO Air Speed

    Fascinating! As a Luigi main I always wondered why I couldn't reach my max aerial momentum in certain situations no matter how much time I had to drift. Am I right to assume that a quick aerial is better for removing RCO air speed than air dodging in most circumstances? Thank goodness for my...

    What Helped You Decide Your Main?

    Experiment with characters until you play one who fits your preferred play style then optimize their neutral, recovery, and combos. I dropped Shiek for Luigi after my first time playing For Glory against a Luigi. I was getting destroyed by the character's combos and when he misfired into the...

    So can we talk about dash dancing?

    What advantage does Dash Dancing give a player that standing still doesn't?

    The Luigi Cyclone Button Mash Topic: Guides and Tips

    Once I realized all I had to do was vibrate my arm at my elbow it became easy for me. Mashing honestly takes muscle if you're going to do it consistently. Work out them triceps. Wait..

    So....Who does Luigi lose to and win to amongst the top tiers?

    I usually do it when recovering. I find this situation comes up most often when I recover low with Missle and it occurs against her or any other character who goes low to gimp my horizontal recovery. I'll burn my second jump to throw a fireball at the lower lip of the stage and use either UpB...

    Guide to Practicing Movement in Smash 4

    Always interesting to see how players prepare themselves for competitive play! I definitely need to spend more time in training mode practicing movement techniques. I think one thing that would make the guide more useful for beginners especially is to explain the control inputs behind the...

    Data Luigi Match-up Discussion Thread

    I'd like to raise a question about Pac-Man and his trampoline. Say you attempted to cyclone gimp Pac-Man but he whipped out trampoline to recover. He bounces once, bounces twice, and before he can descend to bounce off the yellow trampoline you catch him in another cyclone and drag him down to...

    Help Snapping the Ledge!

    You can use your double jump with a fireball to rise above the ledge and pressure them with a fireball. You'll grab the ledge on the way down. This is easy to punish if they're right at the ledge so beware. If you are launched high and off stage try to use SideB immediately. It will leave you...
