Interesting. Does it have an affect on bombsliding or glide tossing?

Hey I have a quick question. What are the advantages/disadvantages of playing Link with tap jump on? I've always played with it on because it was the standard setting. Is it worth it to switch?

First of all, I'd like to say hey to everyone because I've never introduced myself. I've been working on my brawl game for about a year now and I'd like to finally play in a tournament. I grew up in Fort Wayne, and just graduated from IU. However I'm about to move to Chicago to start work...

Is anyone interested in playing some friendlies online? I live in the Midwest and I'm able to play most nights. Just can't seem to find any opponents.

This doesn't work for me I'm afraid. I don't like to change the positioning of my hands during matches that drastically. Can somoeone tell me what's off about my timing though?

You're friend plays a great link :awesome: Much smarter and quicker than where I'm at right now. However I would like to make one suggestion. That link didn't use his Ftilts or Fsmashes hardly at all throughout the match. There was one instance (3:15 in the video) where you may potentially have...

I've been working on the advice you gave me last week and I think I'm seeing improvement. I'm using that R technique you told me and I can't believe how much easier it is to do the bombslash using R than using A. It's super effective but I'm worried I spam it a little too much. Anyway, I went...

Thank you Rizen. That gives me a lot to work on. I'll try to get another good recording when I've improved some more. I get what you mean when you say I look hesitant during the match and that my flow of attacks is weak. But how do I go about improving that area of my game? Were there any...

I would definitely like to take you up on this. I haven't played much brawl online though. Should I PM you to figure out a day and time?

So I ordered this device, had some friends over, and finally uploaded two videos to youtube of me and a friend playing a friendly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBgSgJb09Ag&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbk6f3nii1g&feature=youtu.be Can you guys check these out and give...

@Rizen: That last bit of advice you gave about spacing with link was incredibly helpful. I witnessed an immediate improvement in my game and I've been destroying the other local players where I live. I know this isn't the right thread to be asking, but how do I go about recording matches in...

I was checking out the marth forums today because I'm considering him as a secondary character. i came across this thread about zoning http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=229253 After reading this thread I immediately started playing a better marth because I knew where to put myself...

This is extremely appreciated. I've been playing link and studying these boards for a year now and I'm sort of hitting a plateau. My goal is to play in some tournaments this summer but it's really difficult to train with an absence of players and decent instructional guidance. Keep up the good...
