Are you in LA? If so, awesome! You're totally welcome to join us. I'll PM you some deets.

I keep trying to pivot grab with Dark Pit but I keep attacking instead of grabbing. I'm just using the L button so I'm pretty confused about whether or not Dark Pit can pivot grab at all.

Can you pivot grab consistently with the others? In general you need to press L earlier for the grab to come out instead of the tilt.

Sure wished I lived in LA lol. Would be fun to see local GAF dudes IRL.

Ohhhhhhhh. Thank you very much kind man. I tilted before I should've grabbed

Ran into a fellow DeDeDe player online.

Mirror matches are really cool because you see techs that you never thought to use before.

I fought him 3-4 times and learned 3 new approaches and follow ups with triple D.

Learning and adapting in this game is cool.

Now you know why we banned Corneria.

No problem! I had to ask for help with the very same issue here before. =)

 

[IntelliHeath]

Wario pls.

Hahaha! That's so amazing.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Hahaha! That's so amazing.

How does Wario move like that?

 

[Timeaisis]

Dammit, LAGAF, being all cool and meeting up IRL and shit.

Where's my CentralTX-GAF at? Surely, there are some...

Spoiler

right?

really, really boring. :l

One more then I gotta let my 3DS charge

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

This sounds like Falcon's NAir. Feels like it has such short range in this game.

Yup, Falcon's uair and nair both have broken hitboxes that pass over the character models.

GGs mate, your Link was pretty cool. At least it wasn't flowcharty. Shame about the lag though, I was being too cautious but whatever, no johns.

EDIT: Holy fucking shit I need to main Wario: https://gfycat.com/BogusDemandingBluewhale

 

[Tom_Cody]

Wario pls.

How does Wario move like that?

I'm curious as well. Is that related to the fart move, or is it something more glitchy than that?

The explanation I've seen pop up the most is that Wario has really weird vectoring that leads to that kind of thing happening.

 

[ec0ec0]

Umm, WAT? You're talking about the hyper offensive Melee? The game in which if you're in your shield you're at a disadvantage. The game in which power shielding is almost worthless because of the speed of L-canceling. The game in which rolling is that "highly questionable option you can use every once in a while to mix things up". Melee has like two defensive match ups (YLink vs Peach/Jiggs) but that's about it. Melee is most certainly offensive pressure first.

I see that as both normal and expected in a figting game!?

I am so confused.

Are you talking about this?

I am a novice, but I don't see how that would explain what is going on in those clips.

Boy, Jungle Japes is terrible.

It's a glitch

Blocking is usually pretty strong in traditional fighting games, AFAIK.

 

[RomanceDawn]

It was just Ash and I, along with some his local friends. Will email soon with plans for next week though!

I'll be there next time. I actually was at the place early and as I sat there something started to come over me. Don't know if it was my spider sense or some kind of stomach flu but I didn't want to risk making myself or anyone else worse.

Next time for sure!!!!! Most likely!!!!!

I don't really know myself, just offering up an explanation I've seen. We'd have to ask a Wario main who's experienced this about it, maybe it's a specific input. I've seen it happen far too often for it to be coincidence.

Wario's air movement glitch. I forget what initiated the glitch.

 

[Clov]

Boy, Jungle Japes is terrible.

Wrong, Jungle Japes is amazing. It's the most played stage in my game so far. The reason? My friends and I like to play a drinking game on that stage. Anyone who falls into the river and dies has to take a shot. Since we play with all items on, we have some additional rules; if you get killed by the Beetle or Boss Galaga, you also have to take a shot. If you manage to get an extra stock with the S-Flag, everyone except you has to take a shot. It's a lot of fun.

It's a glitch. Wario can shift his aerial momentum out of a hitstun.

All you gotta do is hold up during the hitstun.

I really like Jungle Japes. The water seems especially strong in this game, and the river god seems more incessant than usual. This cuts off the fairly safe low recoveries that are more common. There's practically a pseudo-blastzone right there under your feet, and it really changes the flow of the match sometimes.

I'm not even sure if it's actually possible to get out of the water in this game.

Generally, the one blocking (the one getting pressured after his oponent successfully "got in") is at a disadvantage.

It is, the person needs CRAZY horizontal recovery though, I get out with game&watch

Getting 50 KOs in rival smash is so hard :/!

Weird. I really hope we get some type of patch this fall to deal with stuff like this, even if we don't get a full overhaul/re-balancing.

 

[The Great Gonzales]

Jungle Japes has always been one of my favorite stages. The way the platforms are arranged makes it good for both close-quarters combat and long-range item chucking. I wish the water wasn't as powerful this time around, and I wish the DK Rap was one of the music choices (pls sakurai) but it's still the best retro stage, imo.

Just spam Yoshi's down B. Make sure you get to the Mii's before your opponent can.

I wish we had fountain of dreams as a retro stage, ever.

[one_kill]

Any tips for customising Ganondorf for Classic 9.0? I've done well by focusing on attack and defence, but I've only reached the swords form.

I'll try that. Thank you

Only character I've seen it done as is Link, using his recovery.

Same. I'm still holding out some hope that it'll be in the Wii U version. The only Melee stage we know is back for that version is Onett, isn't it? That's not a great sign; it makes it seem like the only returning Melee stages are going to be the ones that were in Brawl.

Worst case scenario, they always could remake some older stages as DLC.

Done

I forgot you can use customs in Classic. I did it without any.

Fountain of Dreams is the best Smash stage ever made.
