    Feedback for low level player, please!

    Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the fair hitbox IS really weird, it's just that it's tempting to use because because it has great knockback, but I need to not do it against grounded opponents, you're right.

    Feedback for low level player, please!

    I'm old and not very good. I play Smash like once every week or two, have since 3DS. I think my WiiU told me the other day I'd played 4k battles? Something like that. Anyhow, I usually just play my friend (online) and once in a blue moon I'll go on For Glory but not that much. I think I've...

    Resource/thread on Down-B (Guardian Orbitars) gimping?

    Yeah, I just feel like... I dunno, a lot of the best characters have good (aka cheap) ways of ending stocks early, and I don't think fair or arrows is going to reliably end stocks early, right? I was just hoping it was unexplored because I feel like... I dunno, you stop a firefox or mario...

    Resource/thread on Down-B (Guardian Orbitars) gimping?

    It puzzles me that with so many Up-B recoveries having hit boxes, I don't see a lot of Pit players pushing people away from the ledge while they try to recover. Does it just not work? Do they go around and snap? Is it hard to get off the ledge and into position in time? Is there a thread/video...

    Am I assessing all my flaws? Lucas help, plz!

    Oh gosh. Umm... thanks for the offer, practice is great! I'm just so unreliable and busy lately... I am rarely reliable for my RL friends, even! I have a kid and a wife and a job and whatnot... but if I get on vacation or something, I'll sure remember to see if you're free!

    Am I assessing all my flaws? Lucas help, plz!

    I should mention that I normally play online with my buddies, so playing offline took a bit to adjust to. Hmm. I totally agree that my follow ups need a lot of work, but I'm not sure that it's that I'm not using different attacks. If you look at all three matches, it's pretty diverse (see...

    Using rope snake...

    Ohhh... I was WONDERING about this (/ZeRo) because sometimes I'll try to grab ledge and do a nair instead and it's sooooo aggravating. Thanks!

    Am I assessing all my flaws? Lucas help, plz!

    So, my friend came into town (and city, jk) and we played some offline matches. He was playing Greninja mostly and doesn't play much Ryu anymore. I learned some stuff... mostly Lucas is not very safe on shield, so I have to pace myself "going in" vs retreating and spacing. I need to do better...

    > There were a lot of times that you just did nothing. Did you play these matches online? Yeah, these were online and the lag is ... it makes the games look stupid because we're often having to time things to where it feels like we're reacting but then when you watch the replay it looks silly...

    Am I assessing all my flaws? Lucas help, plz!

    I play Ike, normally, but I'm learning Lucas and my friend is learning Ryu. I think our games go about 60/40 with him ahead, currently. We're noobs (play 0-1 times a week) and only play online (we have no local smash friends.) (My brothers play online too, but even more infrequently.) Here's...

    How/When to use Lucas's Dair?

    Wait, Lucas' dair auto-cancels?

    Do you secondary?

    I actually now have a secondary: Lucas. First, I am awful and casual, so I want a secondary just for a fun change of pace with my buddies. Second, I wanted a "brawler" like Ike, but one that had the option to use some projectiles. Lucas fits that bill, IMO. He's slow in the air and on the...

    A-sticking Ike's aerials

    I primarily use the c-stick for aerials to make sure I don't fast fall dairs over the edge or when I'm moving the opposite direction of the attack I want (retreating fair).
