Never not use Judgment because sometimes you get a 9 and it's the sickest thing.

The idea behind Jump being first is probably so you can try to activate it when knocked far off the stage and still recover. I don't know if that holds up well in practice, though.

Alright since everyones been asking me for my Shulk write-up

I know I know, but we all have busy plates to fill

Anyway, Here It iS:


With Shulk, I like to make sure I get stale moves for all the attacks I want to hit people and especially
finish them with, you want to accidentally let the opponents get to 250% only to kill them with a single
fair after you come back from a back slash SD.

Also, activating Shield when you would have settled for anything else, is recommended.

Trying to activate buster or smash when its too soon to do that is also a pro move

always, always, stand still doing usmash over and over, except when it will hit someone


that's it, i'm mreally congealing it

I hope they patch in being able to arrange the order of shulk's buffs

Not that I ever use shulk, but seriously they put his least useful ones first. Maybe that's on purpose?

I'm not sure if different counters have different effectiveness, but with Shulk I KO'd a Dedede who was at 50% by countering his rocket hammer so that was cool.

Pretty sure all counters are based on the strength of the attack you're countering. So a countered rocket hammer would hit loving hard.

Lucario's Double Team is based on nothing but his own Aura, so jabs and smashes will have him retaliate equally as hard, and Shulk's Vision is actually based on timing. The sooner it activates, the more damage and knockback it does - because it'd be pretty silly if he foresaw an attack that was late or, heaven forbid, never actually came.

I love playing Charizard as well but I'm not very good with him. Probably about 90% of my deaths are from charging off the side of the stage or getting knocked off at a low percentage and screwing up getting back on. How do I not suck at playing him??

My use of Charizard focuses on 3 attacks.
Rock Smash, Flare Blitz, Flame Thrower.

Rock Smash is great because very few attacks in the game will interrupt it, you can stand right where King Dedede lands from an up-B and have a rock smash waiting for him. You can perform turn around rock smashes by immediately switching to left/right after pressing down B, this comes in handy because it can help ensure a safe landing.
Flare Blitz is the easiest way to kill, for yourself too, so make sure you're aware of when and where you can use it and still get back to stage. Pretty much never use it from a stand still, I usually use it before landing after jumping away from my opponent. It's also how you should get back to stage when you get launched to the top corners, it looks like you're helplessly tumbling after but you can surprise them with a rock smash or even another flare blitz
Flame Thrower is the easiest way to edge guard, just stand over the edge and spew fire downwards- this only works if you get there before they grab the edge or if they're really dumb and don't roll on stage. Be liberal with it, jump at your opponent with the flamethrower, jump away from your opponent and use flamethrower- I say use it all the time because most players can't handle the pressure, just be ready for them to try and jump over.

His jab combo and down tilt come out pretty quick for when you're in those face to face punch ups, I think I use his neutral-air the most out of his aerials, plus his forward tilt has good reach it's and quick too.


Charizard is cool

Monado Speed is really good for stringing attacks together, though, and can also asist his gimping game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbl4xLB5J8U

So, uhh, I just got rocked by this Sonic player while playing as Wario and Little Mac. How on earth are you supposed to punish any of his attacks? It seems that his spin dashes are really, really good in this game, he has a crazy recovery that can't be intercepted, and it seems that even when he whiffs an attack, he can just run away to make his next move. Any advise playing against Sonic?

Got this game yesterday and so far I've been having a lot of fun playing Little Mac. I went online and did some For Glory matches and had a pretty rough but fun time; I haven't seen anyone talk about him in the last few pages, is he considered bad or just rarely played due to being new?
