Super Smash Bros. for Wii U |OT2| Only Game Where You Can Beat Up The Duck Hunt Dog

I barely played Smash after the N64 one but I'm loving this game and really want to learn it better. Obviously I'm not looking to suddenly be a pro, but if I could at least understand the things discussed in this thread that all sounds like jargon I'd be a lot better off. All this talk of edge play and combos working at percentages and all that feels overwhelming.

Is there a good resource that can take me from relative noob to at least having an understanding of these concepts? Text, video, doesn't matter. I've checked out some video series Kotakub featured a few weeks ago, but even that didn't really help me grasp the shield and all the dodge and such available.

Thanks GAF. Loving this game.

Not sure what the videos were that you already saw, but here's some basic ones to make sure you know a bunch of things you actually can do with some tips about doing them thrown in here and there:

Then here's another more higher level conceptual video about the neutral game that may help you out a bit too.

Other than that you should check out some tournament matches involving characters that you use

Yo Bracket 2 people, I'm also available to play for the next couple hours here.

If euphemism shows up at any point tonight, he gets priority. Seems like every time we're about to finish our set, something happens and I can't play the rest of the day lol. I don't wanna be partly responsible for getting him banned from ranbats D:

I'm around now if you wanna do our match.

Yeah great games, I've never used little mac so I really have no idea how he works, but yours was great! I'm trying to learn some new characters obviously lol, so I wasn't really too good. Samus and Ganon are my current mains.

He was great! Really hard to approach him with all the projectiles. I'll try to get better on my side for next time. Really only played a few days and still in Brawl mode lol.

That's good! He's definitely fun to use and probably has one of the most satisfying spikes too haha.

So its still not letting me edit it, but I made a comment to note the matches, if someone else could add it in that would be cool.

GGs, Nabster! Our ranbats were pretty close overall (except that last one lol, holy crap was that embarrassing) and I am ALWAYS up for Falcon dittos. Hit me up if you wanna do more of those in the future. Again really fun games, great Rosa.

GGs Falawful!. Yea Falcon dittos are awesome. That offstage falcon punch was definitely worth not even bothering trying to come back from it.

Not sure if I'll still be free when you and Salva finish you matches, but if I'm still here I'll try to play him as well.

Edit: Nvm. Gonna go to sleep now. I'll catch you some other time Salva.

GGs, Salva. Nice Yoshi. Normally I'd stick around for friendlies but I think Nabster is waiting to do his matches with you. Til next time man.

Anyone else from Bracket 2, or just general 1v1?

Well, that was a monumental asskicking you just gave me! Thank you, I learned a lot! Hopefully next time I give a better challenge xD

Anyone else on bracket 2 waiting? I can play some more.

winning with zelda in for fun though not using items bar 1 final smash which hit only one player... feels good man.

whats the ideal internet connection for smash? i used wifi for a few matches and i got some crazy lag. then i switched to my lan adapter and though there was an improvement there were where everything went to a slow crawl.
 
what the... I've been training @ 9 this whole time, am i doing it wrong?

Training with high-level cpus really doesn't have a lot of benefit beyond teaching you to avoid elementary mistakes due to how the computer has inhuman reaction time. In fact, you're more likely to have your bad habits encouraged by playing high-level cpu because they don't act like normal human players would. Cpu players act in patterns, and I've shown my younger brother and cousins how easy it is to exploit these patterns for easy kills many times.

The reason I suggested low-level cpu is because I consider the cpu to be more like punching bags than anything else, tools to test tech or to see if you have a true combo on your hands or something like that. It's not about beating the cpu, but improving your skillset using the cpu as a training dummy.

No probs. Thanks for playing!

You're as good as I remember, haha. Both your Cap and Yoshi are beast mode. Which do you main?

We'll have to play more later!

MM dittos are pretty rough, haha, but I'm totally game.

Cap and Yoshi are my two mains, lol. MM is a solid secondary for me, and I'm trying to do the same with Kirby and maybe Dedede. Those two I'm still trying to get some fundamentals down for, though, as you could probably tell. I held my own besides the SDs though, heh. My end goal is to be competent to good with the majority of the cast, which is why I like to go random in friendlies.

And yeah, MM dittos are kinda weird, but I still like em for whatever reason *shrug*

I don't know when the fuck the right time is to transition to online because right now, I'm getting nothing but Japanese players and I'm getting destroyed. It isn't fun.

Yeah, around this time is when the JPN players are awake, and they tend to be on the extremes of good and awful. Try playing earlier in the day (if possible) to get some US players, or ask someone in the thread for some games.
