I'll be there! This is going to be one great tournament; full of upsets for experienced players! The community has no idea of the talent we've been brewing up in these mountains!

I'm sorry, I wasn't using my terms appropriately. I press the c-stick UP and instead it registers as if I'd pressed the c-stick LEFT. Since this is something I experience with all my controllers I assume its an issue with me. I'm just wondering if anyone else ran into this and overcame it a...

So I learned to SHFFL my aerials using c-stick as I understood this was the preferred method to influence your directional movement while also attacking, however, I've been having massive issues with consistency of input registered by the game. Example: I try to UAIR and, and the c-stick is...

Comin back in a full force!

Hey guys, new Falcon here looking for some advice. I'm trying to memorize some surefire combos to rack up damage until I can u-throw > knee against various opponents. Floaties seems easy, but fast fallers are giving me trouble. Are there any early % combos you can recommend me that are sure...

Thanks so much for your thoughts, I'll certainly keep these things in mind. When wavedashing out of shield, do you completely let go of shield before performing the button combination for wavedash, or do you keep shield held down during the start-up, while using the opposite button (L,R) for...

treemustach, As someone new to this scene who just came out of the exact situation you're in, hopefully I can give you a few small insights into what allowed be to break through the barrier: 1. Get the right equipment (CRT television and official Nintendo controller) I was trying to learn...

Well I wish I could call us competitive, because we love the game and play it every time we're together, but we've only played each other, and none of us have ever learned/used adv tech skill besides basic short hops. 4 of our usually 6 player group recently moved to Morgantown and now only...

Hey guys, I'm just now learning Falcon and had a quick question about knee/uair combo after uthrows. It feels like theirs a lot of lag after the throw, giving enough time for opponent to recover before I can perform my attack. Am I missing something? Is there some way to cut down on lag after...

99% of the time we just play Melee. Sometimes a friend will bring Brawl and request some PM time, or my girlfriend will demand a little Mario Kart Double Dash action so she can show off lol.

Well I've been grinding out tech skill for at least an hour every day for the past month with low consistency. I got the wild idea today to pull out an old 14" tube from our basement and use it in the chance that my flatscreen in "game mode" might still be causing input lag. Well, that must...

Thanks a lot, that's a great video and solid advice one what to look for. I appreciate it

I regularly host small-medium size weekend smash gatherings at my place in downtown Charleston. I'm only just exploring the boards for the first time, so I'll throw out a request to the facebook page and hopefully we can get the ball rolling with contacts and meetups.

So playing here in WV, the best two guys in attendance whenever we have Smash gatherings use Link and Young Link with a strategy of turtling and spamming boomerang, bomb, and arrow in a freakishly fluid stream until you aggro and come to them, whereupon they either grab you during the approach...

I'm looking for serious coaching around the Charleston, WV area. I'm willing to travel a few hours out, or likewise accommodate the coach for a weekend. Willing to pay, rate and details to be discussed. If interested, send me a message. If nearby and just want to play, throw a post in this...
