i cant wrap my head around how good some people are at not always facing the wrong direction or landing grabs. also i cant seem to loving attack without doing a dash attack and i'm terrible at doing tilt attacks, i always end up doing a smash instead

handy tip: change the direction you face using rolling. you won't need to lightly move the left stick in a direction.

- rolling backwards end with you facing the same direction you started. rolling forwards ends with you facing the opposite direction.

- rolling into the edge of a platform always makes you face the inside of the platform you are on no matter which way you were facing when you started.

also learn the distance you roll with whatever characters you use

Is there anything good going on with the Mii fighter classes? I just got the game and I want to unleash the abominations I call Miis upon the world without getting smashed.

mii brawler has a sweetspot with his piston punch up b. get it right and you can ko people straight up at like 0-10%. easiest way is to grab someone, down thrown, then up b. only the first hit will connect and thats the one that will gently caress people up.

Shielding/Dodging is something I really need to start doing. I've never done it. Ever. The only times I ever shielded was when I hit the wrong button for grab.

there's a rock-paper-scissors game within smash; shielding blocks attacks, grabs go through shields, and attacks go through grabs.

You don't have any control over who you're spectating though for the second and third matches, right? For the first match you can keep backing out and coming back in until you get a 0%, but then you're stuck with whoever they give you next unless I'm overlooking something. I was spectating for about an hour and I think I saw a 2v2 with two 0% teams just once, and I don't think I ever got more than two 0% choices in a row.

Even if you're somehow lucky enough to get three 0% 2v2 matches in a row, each choice is effectively a 50% chance of success so you'll correctly guess all three about 1/8 of the time.

you can only let it ride if you dont back out. as long as you keep winning though (always bet worst odds) you will be swimming in smash money

go through master orders and do all the easy events with custom moves. inbetween, buy trophies at the shop.

I've been maining Toon Link in For Glory and while I can pretty consistently get my opponent to >100% before he gets me there, I have a really hard time actually getting the kill. Once I have to start to get in to try to either side smash, up air, back air, or back throw they seem to know exactly what I'm looking to do and kick my butt. Lots of frustrating games where I get an opponent to like 150% while I'm around 50-70 but then they get a few combos off and kill me. Any tips?

hitting guys with the second slash of your fsmash is key. the nice thing about it is that you can do it immediately after the first slash or you can wait a second. practice and see how long you can wait before executing that second slash.

to clarify:

edgehoggingguarding is cool and awesome because knocking someone back off the stage when they are trying to recover is :laffo:. see every time a fox tries to firefox back and gets kneed out of it by the god king captain falcon. it looks cool and is cool.

ledgehogging (hanging on the ledge so others cant grab it) is for passive pussy babies and is the best change to come out of smash 4.

Nice.

Speaking of which, is the Gamecube controller important or is the Wii U one servicable enough? I'm sucking on the Wii U controller, but not sure if it's because I'm a crotchety old hag who hates change or if the Gamecube is still a better controller for this game. I tried remapping the buttons to mirror the Gamecube's better, but it still just doesn't feel right. On the other hand, if it's just me being a big baby then I'd rather relearn on the Wii U then shell out a ridiculous amount of money for an adapter.

when i was playing on 3ds i turned the default buttons clockwise, so B was gamecube A, Y was gamecube B, and the other two were jump. that worked out pretty well until i got smash wiiu and could go back to a gamecube controller.

i think it would be cool to see smash bros try out a more traditional super system. obviously they'd be way less powerful than final smashes and not the playstation all-stars way of having them be the only way to get points, but i think it could be interesting. p:m plays with the idea a little bit by letting lucario use enhanced versions of his special moves by spending aura that builds up every 50% of damage he does.

idk there's a lot of things i think it would be cool to see smash experiment more with.

Edgeguarding is literally a 0 effort win button. If you do it, it pushes you right to the win screen because you are a cheater and you found the way to break the game. They'res literally no way to deal with it other than to turn off the game and cut your hands off. No one can win against you if you edgeguard because it overwrites every single option available to every player all the time and if you get edgeguarded it isn't your fault for playing poorly or predictably its just that one person is doing an unfun thing that cheats you out of your incredibly well deserved stage. None of their planning matters and the build up to it is all a lie because the only thing that matters is you fell of the stage and that's not fun to watch or play.

Go play a real game like playstation all stars where the only kills that count are ones you get with your super, because that is more real and tangible and than any other form of taking advantage. Real winners are determined though Kratos dittos.

A lot of customs are bad (samus shotgun charge, Marth better recovery), some are sort of lame (Jigglypuff up B changes), but I like them because they open up a chance for interesting counterpicks that aren't really offered by the stage selection.
