I'm comfortable with the Diddy matchup after playing Nanerz from Norcal for so long. Sheik is the killer one. Still can't get used to that one.

My horribad performance in a 3v3 lol. Only showed one set on stream. 1v1 is one thing, but I have no clue how to properly play 3v3 yet I ended up in a 3v3 tourney lol.

why/how is my C-Stick doing neutral air...
Looks like it is when you hit the corners of the stick. How dumb
edit: I see. It only does that when settings are on tilt. That sucks...

I just had the weirdest set. Lost the first...5? Just endless dumb decisions. Just out of range and get punished, SDs, shield breaks, footstools...you name it, and I died to it in those 5. Then I switched to Bowser, lost twice, and then won the next 10, with a few being 2-stocks. Funny thing was, he started having all these dumb deaths like I did. Felt too weird.
Yeah, you can't even use it to do your tilted...tilts, iirc.
Ew.
Here is Sakurai's Smash for 3DS/Wii U PowerPoint proposal in English!
Granted, it's only a selection of the slides (since Sakurai refuses to reveal everything), but interesting nonetheless.
It's great that Sakurai is so revealing about this stuff. I want to see more on the characters so badly, but I don't think we'll ever see anything about cut characters unless they get into a future smash game.
I'd say you did well handling multiple opponents at once by yourself for the most part, even though you had a really unfortunate SD on game two. That nearly-double teleport KO in game one was cool, and you managed to juggle two separate opponents with uairs during game two as well.
From having played Oidisco, I'd say you don't use nairs nearly as much as he does. I don't know if that'd actually make a difference, but it seemed like a better option than fairs and bairs to build up damage, and on top of that you can trap opponents with them while your teammates closer to attempt follow-ups.

That happened until Lucas came out. What character do you use? With some characters as you get better with them, it feels like they have less options the more you play them because you get used to playing in a really specific or comfortable way and forget to make use of certain moves or tactics.
Marth/Lucina.
Maybe I should try messing around with some other characters, haven't really found anyone else I enjoy as much though.

I've been able to beat people that I wasn't able to months ago, so I feel like I've been improving a lot.

I can exactly feel my Mewtwo level up on a weekly basis. The stuff I do now is so much smoother and more thoughtful than before. There are endless levels to gain in fighting games. No one peaks less than a year in unless they aren't training right. I suggest you play folks here and get feedback.

Nairs are useful. My problem is finding when to use them. I usually throw our bairs and fairs just out of habit. But I know how to follow them up when they do land. Nair not so much.
I'm a noob at this game as I have only just got it but can someone explain to me why it is so fucking laggy, like unplayable lag.
One of the main reasons I bought a wii u was for this game and I'm already feeling buyers regret because of the lag.
Most games stutter, freeze and have awful delay. The games that don't freeze, have awful delay. I don't have any issues with Mario kart; I'm using wireless but I hear the Ethernet adaptor is shit so that won't resolve it.
I have only been playing unranked fun games but even leaving those if the lag is a joke causes a ban of ten minutes for searching again.
I have no lag issues with other consoles or pc btw

Shame there is no basic function like to search in same region... Maybe Nintendo is just pairing me up against people on the other side of the world.
Yeah I think my playstyle just doesn't work at all in smash 4. I'm way too aggressive and impatient but its tough to get rid of that.

Fighting game netcode is way different than other games. Street Fighter would probably be the same if there was 4 players at once on the screen. When you're playing For Fun in an FFA there's a good chance for lag. The most lag free matches would be 1v1's. The ethernet adapter helps too.
Most people don't bother with Zelda, yet I still find ways to keep pushing and improving with her. Getting ideas that I don't see happen even with the best Zelda's out there just means I'm on the right path. And Zelda is a very very very hard character to find improvements with given her moveset.
Look for multiple ways to improve. Watch other people play the same char, experiment with your char, or even taking a break from using the char. Hell even trying different control schemes help (Switching between the 3ds/Wii U versions for me helped me figure a few things out)

Its sad that it's 2015 and Nintendo decided to not make a good matchmaking service. Back then, I would get players from Europe/Japan for countless matches and they would lag bad.
Karsticles

Who do you use?
Fighting game netcode is very demanding.
Ethernet adapter is absolutely NOT shit. Many people here have purchased it and been pleased.
Play GAF, not randoms online.
Where do you live?
Most people here find this to be a great online experience.
I main Lucina, never play too much else.
UK. Do people just use this thread for fun games then?

Yeah, just post if you want to play and usually you get a reply very quickly.

A lot of people here play each other for fun. Also to play against people who are genuinely good and are looking to improve their skill as well. We got some folks who are going to EVO which says a lot of their actual skillset.
All I care about is lag free. U.S. East Coast is fine, would probably lag against west coast though.
Then yeah, you're good.
Nobody really lags in this thread so you shouldn't have any issues.
Out_Of_Ammo
Member
Yeah, true. I got nothing against some FFA with items once in a while though.
Shamrock7r
Member
Nothing at all, but most of us here like to focus on the competitive aspect of the game, albeit in a productive, helping each other type way. Because of that, we tend to follow competitive rulesets. Items aren't part of the competitive ruleset because of the random nature.
I live in Argentina and I manage to play with most GAFfers with bearable amounts of lag, so I bet you should be able to play against west coast players without any issues. I do use a wired LAN adapter, though, but I think the thing that make me lag a lot less was when I switched my internet connection to 12 Mbit/s down/1.2 Mbit/s up, since I'm now able to play against Karsticles fine even though the game lagged like hell when we had played a long time ago.
I think most of us SmashGAF regulars play the game competitively, or at the very least not at completely casual level. There're lots of players in here that are quite good with their mains, such as Snacks' Greninja, Karsticles' Bowser/Mewtwo, Out_Of_Ammo's Dedede, Wyndstryker's Zelda, Oidisco's Marth/Zelda/ZSS, Puruzi's Lucas (and many others), Shamrock7r's Ness/Lucas, Namikaze's Luigi, Tipster's Megaman and many, many others.
The fact that we play a wide variety of characters is awesome for getting some valuable match-up experience, and I think the skill gap among most of us isn't large enough that one of us is completely hopeless against the rest, so we keep improving and trying to one-up each other constantly.

Yeah, we have a skill gap, but it isn't massive.
Not like the time I beat a certain GAF member 50-0 in Marvel...

twice.
I could use some more Lucina practice. Add Karsticles to your friends list, and let's play.
Yup!
Going to Evo just means you have money. Mostly pot monsters going.
Nothing wrong with them, but most of the folks here focus on competitive play. That said, if you asked for items, I bet you could get a game going.
Heh. I think the only time I did well against you was when you were supposedly using your broken controller. Each other time was disastrous for me regardless of the character you were using.

I would say around 90% are.
Since you need every bit of connection reliability you can get to make sure fighting games don't lag, stutter or drop frames, wired connections are a must IMO.
Alright. I added you.

Someone here might need a lesson ASAP.
I am wireless and I don't really get lag unless a bunch of people are using my connection. If my brother moves out, I will be able to go wired, but when that is happening is ¯\_(ツ

anyone up for a few 1v1s
I can play.
Edit: Uh, are you not available anymore? Anyone else want to play, then?
I can play for a little bit if anyone wants. Flux?
