Yup if everything works out right I'll be going to tournaments 4 consecutive weeks in a row ^_^

 

[False]

SKTAR will be when you guys see me next. watch out, I'm busting out all pockets I've been working on.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

I'll possibly be going to a tournament this weekend as well. =D It will be my first pools only tournament. o-o

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

 

[Ralph Cecil]

It was amazing. =D Unless you were referring to something more specific. o-o

 

[Attila_]

i was referring to the amount of disrespect ally gives m2k and still easily wins.

 

[etecoon]

I think he's better off playing that way against M2K if anything, aside from MLG when M2K was on another planet it seems like that style has been better against him

THAT MINE KILL

 

[Okuser]

omg a new m2k vs ally!!! my favorite ****in matchup ever. I'm gonna ****ing pop some popcorn and savor every second of that ****

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah this was one of the better sets I had seen in a while. Also I guess Ally was just on point that day. o-o

 

[etecoon]

I watched a bunch of recent brawl vids today for the first time in a long time, I also think M2K isn't as locked in as he used to be, he still beats most people just playing really smart but he doesn't have the same perfect control as he used to I think

could just be memory bias though, like I said I basically stopped following this game closely almost a year ago

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I noticed I stopped following tournament stuff after a point. I guess the one thing I noticed compared to the past was Ally got a **** lot more patience and better timing. I recall he usually use to like rushing towards the opponent a lot more. And all of those Dair. I think one was successful and about... all the others were failed since its not a move that will connect all its hits.

But, the inside tornado grenade pull I saw a lot of which is nice. I think M2K follows people into the air a ton and his one mistake lets them get away scott free. Oh yeah, 230 views on GF, and 900 for winnters lol Ally vs DK grand finals wth?

 

[etecoon]

youtube views for new england tournaments now mirroring how NE tournaments go if you actually show up to one

grand finals is code for 'everyone stop watching and go play N64 games'

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Actually, M2K has been going tryhard mode a lot recently. Basically he started trying again when the URC disbanded and the MK ban quickly came out of fashion.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

My expulsion from bracket or pool is time to stop watching. Or my personal favorite. Start playing melee falcon free-for-alls with the oldschool on the TV directly adjacent to grand finals in melee.

Tryhard mode? I guess. I just think its easier to recover against MK in the air since the only thing stopping me from recovering is mistiming. Once you get that fastfall -> airdodge read, you are on the ground, MK is in the air and so slow he cannot get back down in time. Its an instant advantage to snake at that point. Its more troublesome if MK floats down underneath you waiting for a mistake. Even if the mistake doesn't come, he's on the platform ground before Snake is. Still in the better position.

 

[Black Mantis]

Yeah I beat Stingers (best ROB in the country imo and #1 in NC) in bracket this past weekend.

Vid coming soon...

 

[Black Mantis]

I'm trying my best to get it uploaded.

I don't have the equipment to upload it. Would somebody here be able to upload it for me (if I sent it to them)?

[Bonds]

So we know that some characters we can grab release chaingrab (falco, sheik, mk). I believe we can also air release these characters into dsmashes, along with whoever touches the ground before they can jump out of an air release. Is there a list of these characters anywhere? I want to know because the ability to kill out of a grab would be incredibly valuable to our character, even if we can only do it in a few matchups.

props to Tech Chase for beating Keitaro in tournament.
that's only 1 member of leap of faith you'll be beating though, tech. ;]

and that takes care of that.....

 

[Ken Neth]

Speaking of Tech Chase, here's a clip from a match over the weekend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjlHll7qRIE&feature=youtu.be

Vipergold, to answer your question, yes I do go to BYU. I'm off for the summer though, just working.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Alright, I'll have the videos renamed shortly.

That is how tech chasing should be with Snake. People should be taking over like 50% of damage from a single grab. But, then people would realize that if you keep rolling toward the ledge, snake will do a mistake and dthrow at the ledge and they get away.

@BONDS:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=236239
This was in the general directory. When I went under __crystal____ a long time ago, me and SuSa did this over Wifi. Bowser, MK, Falco, and Squirtle. Snake should be able to get the strong hit of dash attack on these characters, but it does not kill until super high percents. Around the 140% mark and up and depending upon stage distance from the blast zone. Its better to go for dthrow -> utilt attempts if you really want to try killing someone. But, if you manage to get that super high percent and a grab, this is a fall back method to kill them. Ness/Lucas is stupid since you can force ground release to Utilt on them, gg.

 

[F A N G]

What should you do if you get a grab at the edge, if not dthrow?

 

[Attila_]

Why would you not dthrow?

 

[DeLux]

Why would you not dthrow?

 

[Black Mantis]

I'm not even going to put Why would you not dthrow.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

Answer: pummel -> pummel -> ... -> attempt to break out -> bthrow -> failure to DI at all -> death (@170%)

 

[False]

also, if you're AT the ledge and you dthrow someone, and you shield, they can melee get up and it'll knock you off. you can adjust to this by moving forward and shielding, but they can mix it up. rather to say I believe they have a much higher chance of getting away because they have more mix ups.

if there's a nade nearby and it's gonna blow up, (not a nade grab), I also like to fthrow or bthrow.

 

[Attila_]

Actually, tech vs. keitaro was pretty hype.

I need to play more...

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah it was the most exciting set I saw at PS4 imo. =D

 

[Bonds]

I wouldn't dthrow because grab releasing someone into a dsmash would be a guaranteed kill, compared to a potential kill out of a tech chase.

 

[F A N G]

Why would you not dthrow?

I thought Xeylode meant when you're facing the ledge and get a grab, to not dthrow

As in, the mistake is dthrowing at the ledge, not failing to grab them again

But, then people would realize that if you keep rolling toward the ledge, snake will do a mistake and dthrow at the ledge and they get away.

 

[Ralph Cecil]

Yeah I interpreted it the same way as Fang lol. =p

 

[ViperGold42]

I wouldn't dthrow because grab releasing someone into a dsmash would be a guaranteed kill, compared to a potential kill out of a tech chase.

1. are you even a FatBats Legend? just wondering.
2. I would never think of GR to Down Smash. seems kind of silly.

 

[Bonds]

What do you mean when you ask me if I'm a fatbats legend, I don't understand?

grab releasing someone into dsmash is situational, but dsmash itself kills earlier than uptilt. I believe the little situational things are very important to know as well because it is a part of mastering your character.
