The hardest part of the tech chase is easily the positioning, but the reaction itself is pretty simple. As long you are in the right spot, everything seems to work out. After throwing I always try to aim my dash wavedash to where that little spark that signals a tech would be. That in itself is...

If you're jaded enough to believe he can't, then you might as well point out how Sheik, Ice Climbers, Pikachu and Samus aren't ever going to win any future nationals by themselves. That also goes without saying for characters like Luigi, Yoshi, Doc and Ganondorf. I would say Peach too, but I...

Well sorry, I don't mean to keep bringing up that game. I'm just trying to help myself understand the strengths and weaknesses of the character across all the games. I'm thinking about what works and what doesn't, what is well designed and what is questionable. Basically I just want to...

If the frame data on that Kurogane Hammer site is accurate, then I gotta say Falcon's frame data got really butchered across games. I couldn't find Brawl frame data for him, so I don't have that comparison. Jumpsquat went from 4 frames to 5, meaning it takes 1 frame longer to get airborne. His...

The fact that this character has received mostly nerfs from the patches is mind boggling. Although I can see the up air reduced knockback as more of a buff, there is no justification for the other nerfs. Captain Falcon has always been a perfectly flawed character, worsening him in any way is...

This is why our grabs missing is so bad. Some mid tier and even low tier characters are able to exploit it and punish it hard. Stuff like G&W's down tilt seems unpunishable at times... Kirby is kinda like a worse Pikachu, I guess. I haven't fought too many, but I always prepare for the worst...

Yeah, I've played a lot more since my previous post in this thread and above everything else in Falcon's moveset we desperately need, it's his grabs being able to catch smaller opponents. Pikachu is already bad enough as it is, and we don't need to have the odds this stacked against us. Not to...

Thanks for the advice guys. Definitely starting to see some improvements in my game.

These are concepts I'm struggling a bit with in this game. My neutral game is definitely very weak; I'm not exactly sure how to approach it. I think it's mostly because of my lack of knowledge on the character and the game. Basically, I don't know how to safely threaten my opponent. In tandem...

Wouldn't mind talking about Olimar or Villager after Ness is done. Against Olimar in particular, I definitely have a hard time in the neutral against this character. He easily zones you out, stuffs approaches and remains seemingly safe with practically any of his attacks. Also not sure what I...

https://youtu.be/C_cI3foZz4c?t=9m57s This is a set where M2K was playing random characters against Wizzrobe. The time I linked the video at is when he went Puff against him. I just wanted to get some insight on this match. It looked like Wizzy was having a difficult time dealing with the ledge...

On the subject of buffs, I believe Captain Falcon is a very strong character in this game and does not need any drastic changes in order for him to succeed. However, there are a few aspects about the character that are completely unnecessary and are more frustrating than anything. The main issue...

I seem to be having some problems with whiffing against the smaller characters. Key moves like his jab and grab seem to miss a lot. I also have a tough time hitting the low up airs. I'm not particularly sure how to approach this situation. Back air remains an effective tool, and I suppose dash...

Anyone finding themselves getting real demoralized as of late? Even with our new technology, it just feels like we flat out lose no matter what just because how innately good the top four characters are, not to mention how much better they are going to get as their metagames develop. I still try...

Oddly enough I'm beginning to feel like Sheik's tech chase is actually way overrated. Maybe I haven't really seen enough, but I've been watching the reaction tech chase in particular and I can't say if Sheik can legitimately convert a kill off of it. It always seems like Sheik has to break off...
