    Sliding dsmash

    There's some trick Pikachu can do with this in vBrawl called the Pikaslide, and it usually is dtilt ->fsmash (works with dsmash) and Pikachu slides back a good bit - useful for Pikachu, as one can be fsmashing someone trying to punish dtilt (or just making dtilt safer in general on shield). I...

    Guide to link

    I can help out with a Link guide if we ever put a Minus Link guide together - I play Link in Melee still (and occasionally in PM) so I'm familiar with a somewhat projectile-heavy Link, and I've got some of his grab combos figured out from Melee (dthrow to dsmash on Sheik at 30% in Melee is so...

    By "learn to glide toss online" I assume you just mean adjust for timing of lag, right? Or is there an actual difference? [Not that I'm perfect at glide-tossing, mainly because there are no consistent vBrawl tourneys I can find... or else I'd have spent at least a bit of time in training mode...

    Surprise Announcement! Brawl Minus 3.Q!

    Wait, 3.Q? New Samus aerials (and maybe even a better grab)? YESZ! (I'd put the pic but it's not about Captain Falcon so the word itself seems more fitting.) Now I just have to hope Falco didn't get nerfed and that Pikachu didn't get some radical change that means I can't just play Pikachu...

    I forgot the dash attack shenganigans Luigi has, but Olimar should be staying far enough away to just jump those, and I have no idea what a Cancelled Luigi Cyclone is, but it all of a sudden makes things sound way less gross. Someone care to explain what it is and how to do it?

    Problem is, nair leaves him sort of open (I don't think it lingers long enough - it would need almost Melee-Link-nair-like properties for that) and his side+b leaves him WAY open (too much endlag for Olimar to not easily get a free fair or usmash/fsmash, unless he's got only whites and is...

    Lack of Depth != Lack of Power

    Falco and I will be waiting up there for ya. As will my Pikachu and sort-of fraudulent Lucario/Ganondorf/Kirby.

    Not always about safety - Falco fsmash is almost always less safe than dash->usmash (or just usmash) in vBrawl, but people use it. Why? Risk-reward. Utilt -> rest is a KO at 40% (and last I checked, utilt isn't horribly unsafe or anything) so getting those is very useful. And you may say that...

    Brawl Minus 3.5 has arrived!

    This isn't that easy for me to read but I'll try to respond to each thing. Glad you like the game and Roy, should probably try to talk to some devs about the freezing thing - if you can identify what causes it that would be great, one thing I know causes freezing (or used to and I think still...

    Sorry... I wish I could but I used to not stay up late and I also can't access my Wii right now, or I'd probably try to alter my schedule a bit during the summer to play with you more. Incidentally, does anyone else feel like Luigi/Olimar is EXTREMELY difficult for Luigi [I won't say...

    Every non-multihit move is safe on powershield, and I've seen/read somewhere that you can powershield a multihit move and get enough invincibility to punish with a shield grab (not sure it's true, but I've seen it before on Pikachu dsmash in vBrawl...). I guess I'd just love to see frame data...

    Brawl Minus 3.5 has arrived!

    YESZ! ... Still doesn't say if it means a new version number or not, but whatever! Also Doq, I'm probably also a tryhard - just saying that because I read your status-thingy below your name.

    So, it's like a 33-33-33 (+1 for staying in shield I guess) for Peach on shield pressure of reading the roll/spotdodge? Or are you telling me that you can't roll out? Even if that's true, ISSDI is a thing, so I can't imagine that someone good enough won't just ISSDI it and (if they go the right...

    BDOT #4: OVER! Glyph Defends the Title!

    If you think that's crazy, check this one out... Like, it's still hard to believe he made that obscene comeback... Also, good luck to all in the tournament this weekend - I wish I could attend but alas, summer college crap and not being allowed to bring my Wii mean I can't.

    SHDL, break shield by having all of them hit. E-Z. Oh wait not everyone plays Falco. Also who is actually good at pressuring shields in this game? Apparently Peach is, but shield pressure still feels dumb in this game. (Or else I need to learn my attacks better, because it feels like I can...

    most underrated character(s).

    I need to play against a Peach again at some point I guess, because when I played Fe it was never an issue... then again, instead of sitting in shield I'd just shoot lasers at various heights to try to mess up float and jump in with an aerial if they hit them. Benefits of being Falco I suppose...

    BDOT #4: OVER! Glyph Defends the Title!

    He's the Lucario - admittedly, Glyph has beaten Jomo before as well (I didn't bother linking those) and this was when Lucario was still super-duper powerful, but it could still happen.

    Ness' Side Taunt doesn't change his moveset?

    You should probably ask Glitch or another coding dev about it - since I'm sure someone has the code that gave Ness Bat Mode (as it was called) sitting around somewhere, all they'd have to do is give it to you and explain what folders to move it into on your SD card, so that you could then have...

    BDOT #4: OVER! Glyph Defends the Title!

    While I can't enter this, Glyph could lose if Jomo or Owo are spot-on and using Lucario/Falco. Not saying it will happen but it's possible.

    Welp, I guess when I get back I have to Wolf ditto you again, see how your Wolf's changed. I've heard your Puff is way better, I guess your Wolf probably is too.
