Pardon the noob question, but the helpful stream doesn't start until tomorrow!

What does "d i" mean? "He did not d i that one"

It's pretty complicated, but a simple way to say it is when you get hit you can input a direction on the controller to influence where you are knocked back. The direction you push on the stick is perpendicular to the way that you are launched, usually. Think of it as a 'force' that you put on your characters trajectory to stop you from dying at lower percents. For example, if you get launched up, you can usually smash right or left to help stay alive (a bit).

Directional Influence. Here's something you can read up on: http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Directional_influence

Cheers, and to all the others!

Oh my god A Rookie's Mario is on point today!

 

[Blizzard]

[NotLiquid]

[random25]

C'mon Mr. E!

 

[kuroneko0509]

Mr.E Mr. E Mr. E

 

[ffdgh]

That lack of invincibility.

 

[mStudios]

T I P B O Y Z

 

[foxuzamaki]

Marth with dat tipper

 

[Beats]

Mr. E needs to DI up after the down throw so M2K doesn't get the triple up airs at 0%.

 

[ffdgh]

The hoo hah has a croud cheel wth lol.

 

[mcw]

Mr. E needs to DI up after the down throw so M2K doesn't get the triple up airs at 0%.

...What?

 

[AnkiRendan]

Nooooooo!

Too many grab whiffs from Marth. :/

 

[foxuzamaki]

Dream is dead D:

 

[Aaronrules380]

That one was a really good match. Really close

 

[mStudios]

Damn

 

[theprodigy]

haha suck it Azure J

 

[shaowebb]

Too many roll ins on stage recovery. Just feedin Diddy those grabs.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Mr. E needs to DI up after the down throw so M2K doesn't get the triple up airs at 0%.

You mean DI towards him right?

You can't really DI up.

 

[random25]

Damn...great 2nd game. Too bad Mr. E lost.

 

[Cody_D165]

m2k's lag johns fulfilled

 

[kuroneko0509]

awww

 

[TruSpindash]

Ah, too bad. Mr.E still played a great match.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Too many mistakes rolling right into Diddy's grab range from Mr E. It was a good match but it's pretty hard to win against a Diddy (especially a top one) when you keep letting yourself get pulled into that dthrow.

 

[Beats]

You can't really DI up.

Yes, sorry. I mixed that up lol.

 

[ffdgh]

NOOOO DON'T GO! You guys are awesome commentary

 

[Revven]

Simplified schedule is out.

Today:

Sunday:

Still not quite a stream schedule but better than last night's. Will update OP accordingly with this for now.

Edit: While not a completed schedule it's good enough, Smash Wii U 1v1s are happening in the same time slots as Melee for the most part until they need to switch games.

 

[Seiniyta]

Although Diddy Kong is a really strong character I do think that even without patches Diddy will drop in the tier list. Too many top tier players don't know how to di properly against Diddy Kong.

 

[Nanashrew]

The last moments of that match was tense!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Those last two Smash 4 commentators were damn good.

 

[Vena]

m2k's lag johns fulfilled

M2K is trash spammer diddy filt!
=D

 

[foxuzamaki]

That was a enjoyable duo of commentators.

 

[NotLiquid]

I never expected to have to favor someone else's commentary over D1's. I hope to see more of these two guys, they're amazing.

 

[random25]

Agreed. Really nice commentary.

 

[BigBadShamoo]

My mobile connections isn't good enough to watch the streams on the bus right now I'm so salty I'm missing matches. How is 4G not enough??!?! Guess I gotta wait till I get home.

 

[Nanashrew]

That was a enjoyable duo of commentators.

Yeah, they really brought the hype and had me laughing so hard.

 

[Hero]

Fuck Diddy Kong.

 

[Blizzard]

I missed it -- is Smash 4 already finished for the day, or just taking a break for the spooky skeleton skull?

*edit* Already back, whoops.

 

[chaosblade]

Who was commentating Smash 4? I thought I saw mention of Coney and EE? I like both of them.

 

[FyreWulff]

I always thought you needed a gamepad to use a WiiU.

Nope. For games that support non-Gamepad controllers as a main input you never need to use it.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Although Diddy Kong is a really strong character I do think that even without patches Diddy will drop in the tier list. Too many top tier players don't know how to di properly against Diddy Kong.

Eh I don't see it happening. What's Diddy's weakness? He has an amazing neutral game and can easily capitalize the advantageous position. His up air is just cherry on top.

His recovery isn't THAT bad either, at least not to the point where it clearly holds him back.

 

[Cody_D165]

EE can be heard weekly on the VGBC Xanadu streams, Coney hasn't been showing up too often lately but he's there every now and then as well.

Tiny break.

They're still streaming 4. Just changing commentators.

EE & Coneyzz

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

No stream for Guilty Gear? On the Marvel stream they jsut said someone broke their stick playing GG but I don't see a stream link for it in the OP.

Yep, Coney and EE.

DI-ing the Hoo Haa is only really effective at higher percentages. That thing still racks up crazy damage in early stages and Diddy Kong still has some of the best approach options and one of the best neutral games in the entire game. Diddy is kind of in his own league right now, even though there's arguably some counters and he's no Meta Knight, he's indisputably the number 1 right now.

 

[Askherserenity]

Man, these commentators are on their game today. Good shit.

 

[Tripon]

Current Smash 4 commentators is Pierce and some other guy.
