Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U DLC |OT2| Lucas comes out of Nowhere!
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
I'll miss ESAM vs Zero. But I'll hopefully be home by the time they play again in Grand Finals!
CEO has been so much fun to watch, the only player I don't like to watch that's still in the running is Dabuz. All respect to him, but seeing Rosalina play is so boring. Almost worse than all the Sonics.

I will be sending a few matches I had with a buddy locally. Meta Knight and Ganon.
I'll play.

I see Melee on now. Has Smash4 started yet?
2:30 EST I think
In top 32 there was [our boy] Poltergust with Yoshi/Luigi, Tyrant with Metaknight, KamiKario with Lucario, and probably some other people I missed and people off stream. There was actually some great character diversity in doubles on Friday.
Anywhere to find the fights?

The matches in Melee are fast and frantic but man I just could not enjoy the small selection characters any more. Be it playing or watching.

Anybody feel like playing?
Question for Shamrock and anyone else dabbling with Lucas- How do you effectively punish? Having the worst grab in the game and no attacks that hit behind you, it's incredibly difficult to get hits in even when you have a hard read. Matchups against captain falcon are particularly bad, as I can't punish his fairs or rolls, and his jab comes out even faster than Lucas'. Any input is appreciated!

Already getting whining online at Anther's about Lucas PK Fire. lol.
I honestly believe it is just a result of Lucas and Ness annoyingly saying "PK FIRE" every time. Mario, Pika players, for example, throw much more fireballs/thunderbolts than any Ness or Lucas player does PK Fire.
When they short hop towards you, use pk fire. Use your snake tether to approach. One of Lucas' best, most underutilized moves I've seen in the game is his dair. It is pretty safe, throws people off, and eventually spikes so you can use it as a set up on the ground into other combos. Don't short hop the dair, too much landing lag. do a full jump Dair, but the range is good enough that it will still hit most characters on the ground by the last few hits. Your jab attack actually hits very close to the body, almost behind you. Nair is pretty unsafe, so be careful when you bust it out. Obviously you have to be smart with grab.
edit: your ftilt has very good range too.

Sometimes not playing for a long time helps once you get back into the groove of things. My splatoon break was the best thing ever. Sure coming back I was rusty but it killed off most of the bad habits. Sure I got new habits now but they aren't as bad as the old ones lol.

Was close. It was nice seeing Poltergust do well, but I was rooting for Vinnie since he's a good friend of mine.

I did not know Lucas has the same grab range as Ganondorf.
I finally sent those replays to people.

Shouldn't the smash 4 top 8 matches have started by now?

None of the heavies will be featured so it isn't like I care.
I just can't find any enjoyment in Smash matches that don't use characters I use and at high level play.

Melee didn't finish yet
Your move Nabster
I will play a few. I sent you a request
Haha, yea I should probably play there again sometime soon.
Edit: Oof, I even dropped out of platinum with the decay.
Melee top 8 is pretty hype. Disappointed two people (MacD, then Plup) choked when they were close to beating Mango, leaving Armada to finish the job. Like, they both had a "holy shit am I about to beat Mango" moment and lost. Mango didn't deserve to get as far as he did this tournament.
