Very helpful, thank you for confirming this. I was going crazy trying to get some of the combos in that video working.

You are correct. I meant real tournaments organized by the community offline.

The consensus on here seems to be that new Smash players don't hate Melee, they hate the players. Well, it's exactly the opposite for Melee players most of the time. Many Melee players hate the new Smash games with a burning passion, and that hatred isn't entirely unjustified. Since Melee it is...

I really don't understand why people are so quick to write off Elite Smash, other than they can't get it and it makes them feel better denying it means anything. Back in the day Brawl's online was total garbage and the people who won the online tournaments were the same people winning the real...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iziXU3d8Hf4 I've been trying to work on my true combos with link but I'm having trouble executing some of the simpler combos shown in this video. Are these combos still possible? I'm trying to get the downthrow to upsmash combo to register on the combo counter...

I feel the need to state an obvious truth that may not seem obvious to most smash fans at the moment. A character from Dark Souls is coming to the new smash brothers. Dark Souls was featured in the previous direct. There is now a dark souls amiibo that was announced in this direct. Dark Souls is...

I mention it because it is suggestive of rushed game design, regardless of it's impact on actual competitive gameplay. But i've edited my post to avoid potential confusion. I say completely game breaking to emphasize the point that melee and brawl do in fact have some things people consider to...

Melee and Brawl do not have completely game breaking glitches because Nintendo put the necessary time in to them the first time around. They knew they couldn't patch problems out. Is Smash 4 better now overall? Sure. Should it have needed all these patches to begin with? No. They designed it...

The Wii U is a dead console. If Nintendo want's to keep Smash 4 in the lime light, they need to bring it to their new system, either as a port or a new game entirely. Nintendo seems to be starting to listen to the Smash community. Brawl was so clearly designed not to be competitive, but with...

You are prediction comboing your FG opponents, and FG opponents are generally easy to predict. Your first game against a decent player will make you see the importance of true combos better than any post on this forum could. Though I don't mean to undermine the importance of prediction. It is...

I'd recommend using both. I normally use the c-stick only for follow-up arials, not the initial arial, with the exeption being down-airs. Down arials are auto fast fallen if executed with the c-stick, so long as your jump has fully finished. I find this useful with Link, and particularly captain...

It's been that way since Brawl. Shielding also increases your own grab range on opponents who connect with your shield.

You need to change your perspective I think. There are limited means of communication in FG. A start of the game taunt is more of a hello than insult. If you are attacking players while they are saying hello, do not expect a sportsman-like reaction. The only time taunts frustrate me are SD...

I'm having trouble with my shield buttons. For some reason when I am configuring my Gamecube controller which I have connected with a Mayflower PC/Wii U adapter, the half presses aren't registered as anything. I've managed to get the analog L and R buttons set the right way by holding the shield...

I'm playing this Fox in FG as Link. It's a pretty even game. We're both high percentage. I pull my bow out to fire an arrow, but pause because the Fox starts holding his reflector. So we're at a stalemate. I can't loose my arrow without killing myself, and he can't stop reflecting without me...
