hello?
Just got back to college, and tested out all the tech skill I learned over the summer. Got shat on and switched mains.
what does everyone think about hax's hand situation?
i think he should wait a few months before another surgery tbqh.
Dude has excruciating pain all day everyday. Sounds fucking horrible and its sad no doc will take on the task of removing the calcified tendon. No amount of physical therapy is gonna uncalcify that tendon
living with chronic pain, i completely understand wanting to do something to mitigate that.
I think he's ignoring the advice of dozens of orthopedic surgeons though.
will they ban his new robot hands?
>got back to college
>a ton of fresh meat coming to play smash
>get my ass handed to me on a silver platter by one of them
I play Ganon, but still, feels bad man

How do you attack Fox at lower percents with Samus without getting raped?
>How do you attack Fox with Samus
not a samus main, but duck fucks up leff pretty gud. watch him and not hugs. poor hugs ;_;
WHO JIGGLYPUFF HERE
>mfw Falcoshitters raging about how Jiggs is ruining the meta
ayy
scar and toph are streaming right now, family
hi mango
I need a main for Genesis and I decided on Peach, are there any good guides for peach movement/recovery?
Delete this
are you black? why are so many falcos black?
No.
I'm half mexican though.
The only black guy I know exclusively plays tr4sh.
Can you ledgedash with a 100% consistency? Do you have his neutral down? Like what's your gameplan usually like?
I'm a Ganon from FL so I get to play with very high level people all the time. I could give you some tips before I go to bed.
PRAY FOR THE HAX
Neutral>techskill any day
Mah boi Da shiz whiz is gonna beat in dat zimmerman guy.
holy thicc
>tfw wasn't eligible to sign up for Big House
>Can you ledgedash with a 100% consistency
I'd call it 80% of the time and rising. My wavelands in general are getting pretty crispy though.
> Do you have his neutral down
What neutral? The game plan is to be a wall with fair and bairs, and potentially approach with wavedash/land into a jab/tilt
I'm a fairly competent Ganon with a lot of decent competition to play against. But if you think you have any tips to help me out, go for it.
I dunno how you people ledgedash with Ganon it's honestly the hardest thing in the game to time.
>get Melee as a 9 year old
>15 years later people are still playing it
I mean, alright
Techskill means shit until you reach high level play. I've a basic as fuck fox and I've beaten people better then me with smart neutral play and stage positioning. You might also have terrible DI.
will Mike Haze ever recover from this?
I mean, Quakecon has been going on for 20 years boy
Stranger things have happened
For wii u/smash wii u, is it fairly easy to find friendd, download their miis to your comsole, then implement them into smash?
Or easier to just create them yourself by.looking st them/getting the option numbers?
Shiz is still good but he's still learning the fuck outta the new meta game.
Believe it or not it's easier than it looks. Because ganon can BARELY get above the ledge to do a ledge dash, if you soft release and jump immediately after, you'll get a perfect waveland height every time.
Trying to waveland with any other character is so foreign to me.
The game is just that good
Sounds good. Just a couple questions before that.
How's your tech trap game? Can you chaingrab spacies? Like nobody can do it past 4 times tops anyway
I'd ask for edgeguard stuff but those are well known.
How's your defensive game? Shield DI, SDI, wall-teching and shit.
After learning a lot about Shield DI I get a lot more grabs in neutral, it's very nice.
You develop the muscle memory for it.
It's just that god and it never got a proper sequel.
>that first falcon punch
Holy shit dude
I just pogchamped so fucking hard at that
Unplug your controller dawg, forfeit my nigga
Who /noskill/ here?
>at weekly
>some random guy comes up to me
>"Hey want to money match? Maybe I can play a game against you first to see if we're around the same level"
>sure why not
>he picks ganon
>"oh baby"
>sandbag, "barely" win
>"Ok let's money match"
>3-0 him
Best $10 I ever made, felt glorious.
>hustling melee
We've reached a low point in society
Holy shit man. I was giving kudos to him for laughing and having fun with it but then he just dipped on the last one, what a fuckin loser
>mfw memelee autist babbies are still playing their boring broken game when they could be pulling off shit like this
I just feel bad for you I'm guessing you can't afford a Wii U right?
>How's your tech trap game?
If you mean dthrow -> jab -> whatever, I've got that down pat really well. Don't know any other common tech traps if there are any more.
>How's your defensive game? Shield DI, SDI, wall-teching and shit
Feels non-existent at this point. Playing against Flaco/Marth I hardly get any good techs off of walls anymore when I used to be able to. I think my SDI has gotten much worse over time.
Shield DI is also something I don't really play around with, can you give any examples of where it's really good?
it's soooooooo sloooooooow
shield DI can you get out of consecutive hits of peach dsmash
Shield DI is kind of weird. It works the same as DI but you gotta "hide" the full away input or perform during shield hitlag so you don't start a roll and get hit.
Most common example is the Falco pressure of low Dair>Shine
If you were to shieldgrab it normally the shine would hit, but with shield DI the shine whiffs and you get a grab.
Shield DI is also amazing against Peach's Downsmash, letting you juicy punishes since you get out of it super early (only 1-2 hits connect) so even stomp OoS is an option.
Tons of other moves also become way more punishable with Shield DI. Especially against Marth. Shield DIng Dtilt works wonders.
>Overwatch will not last that long
Who /likesthrowingeggs/ here?
Falco is the most honest competitive-tier character
Prove me wrong
Falcon exists.
He said competitive tier
Falcon just abuses dash dance into grab all day, let's be honest.
And you know Falcons think they're hot shit for picking him.
>I win neutral pressing X+B,bullshit hitboxes and priority the character.
>honest
>X
And Falco mains abuse laser all day until they meet someone good enough to actually powershield. The only honest competitive character is jiggs
i think you mean Jiggs.
I tried egg stalling, fuck that shit. double jump cancelled turn around nairs feel and look baller as fuck tho.
>the character who literally only needs jump and fair/bair to win
>honesty
>Addicted to grinding tech skill
>arm hurts from grinding too much tech skill
fuck
>need to practice my L-canceling
>can't practice on my PC because input lag
>can't practice on my actual game disc because LCD TV
How will I ever stop being bad goddammit
time to go to locals, user
1. get a CRT for 3 cents
2. stop being a pussy and practice on ur flat sceen. the adjustment from CRT to modern monitor is overblown
by finding a crt of course.
CRTs are almost literally free, senpai.
you have to pay to get rid of the (recycle fee) so goodwill doesn't even accept them anymore
I don't live alone, I'm not about to hook up a CRT to my overcrowded TV setup and tell my family "yeah guys this is so I can play a children's party game from 15 years ago alone."
I actually was gonna try out some locals, there's a few around here, but goddamn I don't wanna just go there and get absolutely destroyed and then leave.
Everyone had to take their lumps to git gud user. You're not gonna be any different. locals have an extremely friendly environment, and a lot of people can help you out as well by giving tips and stuff.
the character is all about movement and a high-risk/high-reward punish. don't know how much more honest you can get, really
>get destroyed and leave
play friendlies, dumdum. you're gonna get wrecked anyway
You couldn't put it in your room? There are humorously small crts out there that should be fine for practicing that also take up little space.
I wish that were the case for my local scene, most of the people there are so tightly wound it hurts looking at them.
You wanna wd in n out of shield. Upb when you think youll get him. Ftilt nairs. If hes getting you with shine, it means thay he has a read on your movement patterns and spacing. Shine in place lacks range and running shine has a bunch of startup.
Hell dd out of your ftilt, so replace them with low commitment jabs. Or try to catch dd back with projectiles and high commitment fair. Shield will beat all the things that try to catch dash back, so do blockstings.
Smash calls it shield pressure, but that has the connotation of multi-shining for a shield poke. In fightan, blockstings can be trueblockstrings, in which case itll just push back, or frame traps, these are what you wanna do. A frame trap plays with the expectations of a true blockstring, and puts a hitbox out when the opponent believed to be able to act.
Now samus is pretty negative on her blockstrings, but she can still apply pressure on spacies. Her tilits allow her to out range oos options and when push back separates you two, use wd to get back in. Use this moment as a supstitute for true blockstrings, or rather change the moment when you wd back in to continue pressure.
>there's an arcadian nearby me soon
>but it's literally tomorrow and I only just found out about it now
Ffffffffuck
There is no other game, actually, no other thing in the entirety of existence that makes me this happy (obviously except my boyfriend)
I cant find the words to describe melee, its just great
stop raping people, macD
You can play Melee laglessly on a monitor by using a Sewell HDMI adapter. I think they're pretty rare now though.
Faster Melee is also an option. It has less input lag than a CRT
I'll just bring my melee friend from high school with me. At least then I won't be the worst player there.
I'd have to move my Wii into my room as well and it's just a big pain in the ass for the sake of practicing L-canceling.
Macd is forever alone and I cant stay on one main and I'm actual hot garbage at melee
then buy a new wii, they are also cheap as fuck. Do you want to get good or not?
not him, but it's easier to complain on Sup Forums than git gud
I don't have a job man, I'm just a college boy trying to make my way in life and stop being bad at video games.
I can't handle all of this.
some used wii would be like 30-40 bucks tops.
Friendly reminder that Falco is the best character and the most fun and that if you play anyone else you are playing a subpar game.
Where am I gonna get that money though
Spend scholarship money on it?
Sell my body to elderly gay men?
Fluke out and win a tournament and use the prize money to keep entering more tournaments?
you can suck my dick and we'll work something out
Whoa whoa, I only go for the EFFEMINATE guys.
I'm no QUEER.
