Fatal, is there ever an appropriate time to use the Nikita aside from edgeguarding? Also, do you play with Tap Jump on or off.
So Fatal
Smash Master
Tap jump off.
Generally if you try to use nikita for anything but edge guarding you will get punished.
But one trick I like to do is knock them off a little bit and circle the nikita around pointed at myself baiting a grab then they grab and the missile hits.
See 2:59 of this video is a sorta good example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbok37-3XpM

Crawling on the edge and doing a B move results into THIS Anyway to apply this into the metagame? I've been playing with it for a while and if you Platform cancel and then do this right away it looks like a waveland...
That was posted in the Snake metagame 2011 thread but i would like your thoughts on it

Don't worry dude if we're both at cot5 we can chill haha. U forgot to add me the most underrated snake main...still lol
if snake loses the % lead, how does he manage to come back?
So Fatal
Smash Master
no idea lol.
HRNUT I thought you quit lol
And when I lose to percent lead by a lot I camp wicked hard and if it's only a little I'll try to trade damage
I've heard the BBR is removing the LGL for everyone but MK, what are some good strategies against planking? most of my ledge game with snake is just trying to prevent them from getting back on safely, idk so much about what if they don't even try aside from hiding behind a mine and using a slow nikita but I think some characters can beat that pretty easily
So Fatal

ahh planking is really hard to deal, I havn't got seriously planked in tourney yet but I think the only thing against it is good names and side b. Trying a bair stage spike could work but is risky.
Wilmenz
Smash Journeyman
Aganist planking... Never go for the Bair spike its too obvious,just give them their space and camp hard from the other side.
Plankers just want you to get mad and punish your mad but stupid attempts to stop them.
It's like a school bully if they don't get the reaction they want from you they will stop.

here I was under the impression that they wanted the clock to hit zero, good to know that if I just ignore them they'll stop doing it and come up and fight me!

Sorry i phrased it wrong i mean thats one of their reasons but i also said that you need to camp hard with projectiles... Like seriously if you drop off and Bair them you are asking to die or get 80%

Eventually they have to come up...
@Wilmenz unless u notice a pattern then make a plan, and you can land bair. I've done it to good mk's

in regards with planking just plant a c4 on the edge and try and time your nades to blow upright over the edge or right after they drop off the ledge. One time a pit was running away from me by gliding under the all the time. So on his next glide under i pulled a nade and timed it right so that I stripped the nade right after it went past the ledge and just as he was coming up it blew up and stage spiked him. One of my favorite kills ever.

I have done this also. **** ^.^

Nice. When I said I wanted to save it he said no and I went to do it and he pulled our controllers out. Can you say salty?

What happened to having trouble with Yoshi?
And how can you hate him? He's such an awesome character!

I found yoshis annoying, but I adapted quickly.. for this mu your aerials work really well.
So Fatal
Smash Master
Best three MUs are = Game and Watch, King dedede and MK
Game and watch is just nade spam shield the dumb bair perfectly to grab then kill. vs D3 you need to camp extra hard when the game ends you should of only been CG'd a total of three times or less. Same deal with MK, camp hard, shield nado to punish and dair punish if you think you can nail it. guaranteed kill at 130+ with dash out of grab.
I'm still not that great at this MU but I have been learning. You need to avoid the spammy pikman at all costs espically if it's a white one. Perfect time nades are critcal and don't approach the olimar untill your above 30% or more because if you get grabbed under that it's a very easy 40 percent combo for the olimar(Grab to upsmash to upair.) You need to be very patient to win this mu.
and Yoshi is very annoying LOL

Fatal, was there ever a point where when you were a mid-level player and you've felt like you've hit a plateau? If so how did you get past that and become the dominant player that you are now?
So Fatal
Smash Master
Yea there was definitely a time where that happened.. I fell into a slump and only started placing 5th and 7th for a span of 4-5ish tournaments. To get past it I just watched a lot of videos, playd a lot of WiFi and went into tournaments with more confidence and a better attitude and started to do a lot better.

Great advice! I think that will help alot of us!
Also, I heard you are hosting the Smash Tournament for Anime Boston, can you have it either on Friday or early Saturday? Last year it ran mad late and through alot of cool events.

where do u cp mk and why? what makes it easier for snake or gayer for mk?
Which mu do you find the most annoying (separate from your worst mu)?
1. do you think snake needs a secondary to be successful at tourneys in the long run?
2. what do you think would be the best secondary for snake? (except mk obvsly)
*edit
3. you mentioned before, that you watched a lot of videos to get better.
what exactly did u take into account when watching them? usually im a learning by doing type, so i feel like watching videos doesnt really help me improving. so some indications would be really appreciated.
i also want to thank you very much, for answering my earlier questions. you already helped a lot. ur doing great work!

How do you get better at tech chasing?
So Fatal

I Always CP to PKS1 No matter what. I think it's a really really good stage for snake. Long stage, good for camping and platforms for explosives. and stage formation camping is really easy to side B for percent or kills haha
Diddy is amazingly annoying for me. His side b grab pissses me off hard and tripping from the bananas. Ahhh soo annoying. I think it might be my 2nd to worst MU for me personally.
I think a good secondary to snake besides mk is IC's. It can cover some bad MUs for snake. If you can get good enough I don't think you need a secondary.
When watching videos to improve versus entertainment can be hard. Try this, if you see someone getting into a situation in a video and you struggle in that same situation, see what they do to get out of it. If you keep getting CG'd by D3 see what there doing to not get grabbed. Pick up on small things like that and it can really help you out.
This is hard because everyone opponent is different. Try to pick up on what they do after 1-2 grabs and punish the next. If your unsure on what there going to do then as soon as you down throw turn around and shield that will cover left roll, get up and get up attack. Habits mostly plays a big role in this. Good luck :D

What's your opinion of snake vs wario?
heres my question
why are other people answering things for you in the fatal q/a. Also, how do you feel snake should be using spot dodges/rolls, I feel like its an important part of his game but its difficult to use them without putting yourself in bad spots vs. good players, however you seem to get away with it pretty well somehow.....<_<
