Point taken, but as said, video games are not real life. Just as words have different contextual meanings in various sports, so do they in fighting video games and fighting sports. What allows this to hold true and for the traditional fighting game meaning of a combo to still be applicable to...

Well, it's been said before, but real life is different from a video game. Not to mention that by this definition you could stand in the corner whiffing sequential attacks and it would be considered a combo as there is nothing mentioned about any connection to the opponent, defended against or...

I say that in a more casual versus competitive, "right and wrong" sense because I think a lot of people aren't differentiating the two; in a strictly competitive sense I agree with Sirlin and most of what you've said.

Not in the scenario you described. For this player, his choice of Yoshi was simply a matter of preference; he has no qualms about playing the better characters based on self-imposed rules of "honor" or notions of them being unfair, he just prefers another character or play style to them. Had he...

Correct. Since you say you've done it a couple times, just not consistently, it's most likely a problem with your timing. Also remember that being able to cancel your dash attack>u-smash isn't universal so if you aren't playing as Snake or Falco (the only two I can think of off hand, and know...

If a series of attacks is escapable at any point it is no longer a combo after said point... call it an attack set, call it a "smash chain", call it a series, call it whatever you want, as long as you know it's not a true combo. How a character is ko'ed or what measure of stamina they have left...

That's a completely different scenario. Having X set to auto-wavedash would be configuring a macro, and would have to be done through a special controller, that is something that most tournaments aren't going to allow. Outside of serious time constraints, which wasn't an issue in the original...

I've gotten the d-air>laser lock a few times before, and had been playing around with it lately. Good to know about about the exact percentages for this, and his f-tilt; and that it can also be set up from his n-air as well. Appreciate the info M2K.

Yuna, even though the wording is confusing I don't think he means that the Ness/Lucas player would be behind in %'s. If I'm understanding correctly, a situation like that could occur as a match times out with both characters at 0% and an equal number of stocks, most likely the last stock. Being...

Calm down. They, we, whatever were trying it the way that it was originally described, and the way that works for most every other character in the game. Assuming the maker of the original video had his control settings altered there was never any mention of it that I saw.

Magus, I believe you may be right. After having been able to do this consistently with most characters except Shiek, like you I'd always get the boosted grab, I chalked it up to poor timing on my part and forgot about it. After trying it with up+A I was able to do it consistently within a...

Definitely. Each character has different strengths and weaknesses, but as a whole I don't see tilts being any more or less useful than they've ever been. ZSSamus has great tilts however so I'm not sure why you're not using them as much. Her f-tilt is better for quickly spacing yourself than...

I know what you mean, and yes, the list itself is very much shaped by tournament results, the tiers however aren't something that is made so much as they are discovered. That was poor wording on my part.:)

BDawgPHD, actually Sonic Wave's understanding of what a tier list is more correct than what you offered here: By definition a tier list is a ranking of a character's potential to win. They have nothing to do with how good a certain player is with a character and they are not determined or...

Thank you for proving my point. I'll leave you to bask in your ill informed arrogance now.:rolleyes: Icege, well said. Sonic Wave, pretty accurate analysis of Sonic. If you looked at his f-smash from a damage and knockback standpoint alone you'd have a decent killing move, but then his...
