In my personal experience, these are some of the harder matchups Simon/Richter: Projectile city. Down special is particularly nasty, because it safely shuts down Wizard Kick which would otherwise be useful for beating the boomerang. To be fair, once you get in past the wall of projectiles you...

Thank you! Very informative Only thing I might add is be aware of your opponents habits once you've gotten through the projectiles. Especially with online play, some opponents will almost always roll, jump, or attack you etc when you clear a projectile

Ganon is all about big, dumb moves. I liked his old up smash and down smash in previous games, but his old forward smash was always underwhelming and didn't really reward you for the effort.

No thanks. After 15+ years of that garbage F-Smash, the new one is ridiculous and very welcome

I know this thread is a month old, but maybe I can help. -Be very aware of your tech-ing and rolling habits. Hard-reading your rolls is a wet dream for Ganon players. -Try to get a feel for when/how the Ganon uses down-b. If the Ganon leans on down-b a lot, you should be able to shield it and...

-DON'T be the scrub who only analyses games where you win. You will get WAY more in the long run trying to figure out why you lost a game rather than boosting your ego by re-watching your victories. Your opponents in these video seem to be weak players. -Mix up your ledge options more. vs...

In regards to the D-throw changes: The new KBG may make some chaingrabs escapable at lower percentages, but it also makes the d-throw chaingrab vs space animals easier. At least for me it feels easier. My favourite change is actually just the overall physics of PM 3.5. Wavedashing/wavelanding...

Slightly off topic, but for any Ganon mains who want to learn some advanced stuff, I recommend checking out Bizzarro Flame, especially his most recent games. While I find he makes some questionable move choices (like when he misses a stomp that probably should have been an up-air), he's probably...

I would imagine that someone as creative as the people at Nintendo could find a way to satisfy both sides of the gamer spectrum. I don't think the idea of a Smash game that would be fun for casual players and competitive players alike is unrealistic. The existence of tech skill in melee did not...

Thank you for educating me with a good example.

I'm not exactly convinced that L-Cancelling adds much to the game in terms of mind games. I would think it is generally perceived that not L-cancelling your aerials is a bad thing. Sure, sometimes doing something nobody would expect because it is 'bad' can be favorable, but I just can't get...

It seems like a very questionable decision to create a thread that you - its creator - think is stupid. I'm new here, so maybe it's not my place to say this, but this kind of uninspired post seems to just clutter the forum. All that aside, the poll options are pretty childish. Either way, I'm...

I used to be in the boat that thought tech skill was all just arbitrary and detracted from the game. I liked Brawl more than Melee. I felt Melee was too hard. Then I opened my eyes. It feels good to learn to Wavedash and L-cancel. What once seemed like mindless button pressing, now feels like a...

The truth is there is no "trick". The ability to perform an input into a controller is a skill. Just like any other skill, - be it learning to catch a ball or ride a bike - short hopping takes time and effort to learn. The good news is, when you say that you do not have the ability to do it at...
