    Data General Match-Up Discussion Thread (ask about matchups here!)

    Just my 2 cents, but being overly focused on hitting them back is what I want my opponents to do. I'd suggest you not try and hit every single one back. In my opinion you should be avoiding or shielding most and only hitting back when you're in a good position to do it. The main point of gordos...

    Buffs that would make DK a MUCH Better combatant

    Because as a heavy that's sort of his niche. I agree with giving him some buffed approaching options but he's supposed to have some clear weaknesses. To me, as a heavy that means being having a big hitbox that let's you get combo'ed easily. They can't balance characters by making them all the...

    Buffs that would make DK a MUCH Better combatant

    Kinda confused why DK didn't get buffs similar to Bowser. An overall small buff to all knockback/damage seems appropriate. I've adopted DK as my 2nd main...been playing him a bunch since the patch especially. He's a blast to play although he really needs more love. I think Bair needs a bit more...

    Who do you usually put as the CPU in training mode?

    Mario because he's average weight and size. If I want to practice combos I'll go with the smallest character, which I believe is kirby or G&W. If I can learn to combo them consistently larger characters should be cake.

    Most entertaining match-ups?

    Dedede mirror matchup. Reflecting gordos back and forth constantly! Lots of LOLs to be had.

    Your first experience in a Tournament.

    I played in my first tourney last week, a Smash 4 singles tourney with pools and a double elimination bracket. Glad I did. I did a lot better than I was expecting. There were about 40 players in the tourney. I went 5-2 in my pool and took 2nd in my pool and made it to the bracket portion. Would...

    Data General Match-Up Discussion Thread (ask about matchups here!)

    I don't have near enough experience with him to tell yet. But in my 20 or so matches against Mewtwo I've had the hardest time getting in on him. Maybe it's just me not knowing his moveset, but I've had problems being camped. Matchup feels pretty even to me at the moment, perhaps even slightly in...

    Data General Match-Up Discussion Thread (ask about matchups here!)

    I agree with a lot of what the above poster said. You should definitely play very passively against Dorf, gotta not play aggressive here. Camp him and spam gordos/Ftilt. He's big, the slowest character in the game and can't do anything to DDD at a distance. There's no reason to play aggressively...

    How did you get into your main?

    I main Dedede. I got into him because the character's playstyle fits me perfectly. I like having a great recovery, zoning ability and lots of power. So much fun to play. I feel so comfortable playing him. Plus I just love the character. Fat, happy penguin.

    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH TOURNAMENTS???

    Just go give it a shot. You'll never know if you're good enough until you try. I think if you're winning most of your matches online you'll be fine. Worst case scenario you meet some new people and have fun playing smash. And I glanced quickly at that page but I believe they play smash 4 as well.

    Did a quick search, here's a facebook group for some players in TN: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MiddleTNProjectM/ Looks like they play every saturday and have regular tournaments.

    If you could make a character by sticking other moves together...

    Diddy's upair and fair, dedede's dtilt, ftilt and upair, DK's bair, ZSS's upB, Ness's Bthrow, Sonic's spindash and Jigglypuff's down B for trollability :D

    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH TOURNAMENTS???

    Check the tourney section of these forums. Also try searching google and facebook for smash groups in your area. Last week I played in a tourney that happened to be just a few miles away from where I live. I found it by just searching facebook.
