Nice! I'm looking at a STEM career, too. Hope you'll enjoy the Smash scene in MI as well. ^-^I'm looking at UMich in Ann Arbor, since it has naval architecture.

I hear Zinoto and Juggleguy run the UMich Smash club at the college, but they'll be gone by the time I get there I think. Looks like I'm going to have to restart my skill base when Sm4sh comes out.Nice! I'm looking at a STEM career, too. Hope you'll enjoy the Smash scene in MI as well. ^-^
I'll also take part in events for the upcoming Smash title. Although I've never once attended a tourney outside Wi-Fi, I'm hoping to make my mark in the near future. If I ever get the chance, I'd like to visit Ann Arbor and participate in later Smash gatherings. ^-^I hear Zinoto and Juggleguy run the UMich Smash club at the college, but they'll be gone by the time I get there I think.

Simply tapping down won't do anything. Its the initial action of the control stick going from the bottom to the center that lets you platform cancel. You could be holding down the stick the whole time and still be able to cancel by letting go just as the character's feet go through the platform.No, just tap down on the control stick when the characters feet are through the smashville platform. because of the way it works, messing up isn't punishable and you're able to buffer things out of it.
Leon taught me to do it like that, Fairly sure its how Mr.R does it too.
Yeah, I know how it works. But tapping down basically does the same thing, and it's easier to explain it that way for the most partSimply tapping down won't do anything.

Bair has a higher knockback than Fair (30/30 compared to 20/20/20/20). For more information, see this thread.Does B-Air kill earlier than F-Air? While it is true I've always staled my F-Air due to spacing, I still feel B-Air killing quite earlier. B-Air kills so well.
Why you pressuring him for? You've got far superior range to him. Just shield his fireballs and space him out. You don't want him to get inside your bubble. Stay grounded if he's throwing fireballs at you. you play it a similar way to how you should play the luigi matchup, if you know that one.What can you guys tell me about Ike's matchup against Mario? I faced Fratos at a local tourney and he 2-stocked me twice. I did everything I could to pressure him with spaced Fairs, but those capes killed my recovery.
By pressure, what I meant to say was that I was zoning him as best I could with Fair to keep him away and discourage him from approaching. He pretty much kept the rush down the whole time, using feint-bairs (moving away, then towards me to hit with bair, sometimes twice).Why you pressuring him for? You've got far superior range to him.

Also, if he's caping you, then you need to work on the way you recover. you want to be on stages like sv/bf where you can make your aether hit people who are a long way from the edge while you're recovering. you do that and he isn't going to be able to cape you.
Try finding a page for georgia smash on here, or on facebook. A lot of the community has moved away from smashboards due to its unreliability over the past year or so.I don't have a lot of options for local tournaments. We just had a recent one at Level Up, my first SSBB tournament in three years. Most of my practice has to come online because none of my friends really play Brawl that seriously. I admit Wi-Fi is pretty bad, but it's the only place I can get any real practice.
well, THIS is the uk smash page on facebook (That I own, thankyouthankyou): https://www.facebook.com/groups/SmashUK/Is that why this place is usually pretty dead? I mean I know why the Ike boards is pretty silent, all the old folks moved on.
