I feel like you haven't played Tipster's Little Mac in a while from what you're saying here. Mac's fsmash (especially charged, and Mac has no reason not to charge against Bowser, that's a 50:50 in his favor) pushes Bowser so far away on shield that fortress isn't an option, and Mac can go into jabs or ftilt so fast that the window to punish is surprisingly small. Would love to see some replays of you beating Tipster in that matchup to see what you do differently...

That sudden lag. And here I thought that ethernet adapter really helped 
. Is it something on your end maybe?

I don't know. There is still distance between us. Maybe my brother started something.

Lag is gone again, nice. Trying to trade aerials with Luigi as Wario is such a bad idea lol.

It's Wario's most predictable thing, so I have to capitalize on it. Thanks though.

Got it

I need to fight somebody.
Also the way Ryu is constantly phasing through objects in his intro is pretty funny.

Maybe we can play some doubles if we find one more.
I don't even know what happened there.

GGs. Please pick characters that die sooner and that I can grab. Thanks.

GGs! Please pick characters that don't turn the game in an obstacle course. Thanks.
But seriously, great Luigi. He's such a hard match-up for Dedede so I love the practice against him.

Gotta fight spikes will fire.
Thanks. If you're wondering why I didn't switch, it is because I am adopting a new system. Today is Green Mario Monday, so only Luigi can be played. Tomorrow is Terrible Tuesday, so of course Yoshi will be played. Wednesday will be Sheik, no special name for that.

I can play even though that was a while ago.
No idea how to handle lots of characters as Ryu.
Alright, room's up.

Someone was at the door.
I've been watching a couple more Abadango replays, and it's kind of funny how his opponents in JP tournaments often pick characters that aren't seen nearly as often in US footage (DHD and Jiggs, for example). While I kind of like seeing how he fights common high-tiers, it's also a great help to see how he tackles other characters since I'm probably not at the level where tier match-up knowledge matters as much as seeing what Pac-Man can do against different opponents.
I also saw a match where he used Mewtwo, but from my limited knowledge of the character he didn't seem to be all that good with it. Here's the replay in case anyone's interested (Karst maybe?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7hc2uQz5eg

I don't think I have ever played Tipster's Little Mac outside of doubles, and I always use Mewtwo in doubles.
Yeah, you can't punish fsmash, but Little Mac won't be opening you up with Fsmash, either. Fire Breath helps a lot. Bowser and Little Mac get into lots of staredowns, but Fire Breath forces Little Mac to approach. Bowser has no reason to approach in this matchup.
Once Little Mac is in, Bowser just needs to shield and Fortress a lot. If Little Mac charges Fsmash, there are tons of options.
If Little Mac didn't have the KO punch, I would say it is heavily in Bowser's favor.

Ugh, today's not my day at all. Going to quit while I'm ahead. Good games, Puruzi.

What a bad last game, but good games.
Ryu isn't easy to figure out, and even aside from him being banned at EVO I guess it's going to be a while before anyone does figure him out.

Why is he banned?
All 3 new characters aré banned because they released too close to the tourney
GGs Snacks. Still don't feel like I have any idea how to fight Lucas with anyone other than Greninja.
Also I ate a lot of up-B shoryus at 100%+ that would've killed if they were manual inputs, so that's definitely something you gotta work on. cr.MK xx hadouken is as good in this game as it is in SF. "Sour" spot Fair does stupid shield damage and sets up for whatever you want on hit so try to cross up with that more. Both Utilts are ridiculous anti-airs that I didn't see you using much.
Focus attack is weird and it's still really hard to say what is and isn't a good use of it outside of recovery. You got punished for it a lot but I can't really blame you for experimenting.

I always do manual input on the ground. It's only doing it out of jab combos that's difficult.

Lol, a get up attack just snuffed out my Luigi misfire.
Gah, I just had to post it to realize that the connection will be in use for a while, so lag would probably be too much to play reliably.
As of late, I just have to say "okay, I guess I'll play Smash now" for some random event to ruin my plans every single time. Sigh...
