Mario's Tornado is hard (impossible?) to SDI out of because it hits people toward the center. That isn't the issue, though. Against a grounded opponent, people can just DI down, crouch-cancel, and shield the rest of the hits mid-move, and even grab you out of the last hit depending on how fast...

He's pretty slick now. Combos feel natural and really satisfying. Some parts of his recovery still rub me the wrong way, but internally, without comparing it to the recovery of other characters, it feels balanced for Pit himself. There's just a couple holes left, but he otherwise feels pretty...

@zamz It's only Italy doing the ban, not the entire Smash community worldwide. You're seriously overestimating the impact this will have on Brawl. ...Plus, anyone who would leave Brawl forever because they main Metaknight and ONLY Metaknight (as opposed to having some secondary and...

75m has its own problems that take SIGNIFICANT precedence over its poor music choice.

I'm not terribly fond of the stage. I mean, it's a good stage in terms of layout. But god I just can't tolerate the music there. It's way too unfitting. Similarly, I can't stand fighting on Lylat Cruise because there's too much background interference. Explosions! Asteroids! Trippy warp...

Same. Also goes for Ganondittos. ESPECIALLY Ganondittos. I had this one guy on friend-code WiFi. We were fighting, me as Wario, him as someone else. I won. Then he sets Sandbags on Medium, picks Wolf, and goes AFK. I use the time to get stickers and such. Eventually he comes back, and I'm not...

****. I always hoped Norfair would be CP. It's a fun stage, throws some variety into the mix but isn't unpredictable about it... But then I saw that stalling video. I just don't know what to say anymore. :urg:

I always hear people telling me that the Smash Community is a joke in the eyes of the rest of the fighting community. Then I see stuff like Evo's ruleset and I wonder just who's the joke here...

Besides the C-stick argument presented, there's also the fact that the Gamecube controller simply has 7+ years on any of the other control schemes, and thus has familiarity going for it. It is also by far the most intuitive and easy to grasp - Not only is everything placed so that you don't have...

Of course. Even if this is possible, no. As i mentioned before, Brawl has finally made Heavy/Slow characters viable (or some of them at least) and L-Cancelling would HIDEOUSLY shift the balance of the game in their favor. Considering how some people have been hailing it as "The New Wavedashing"...

Classic Red, or WW Red when that's unavailable. If I'm on a team match and don't have the liberty of choosing color, I go Classic every time.

Ban, the lack of grabbable edges on all but one or two of the leaves severely gimps certain characters... and. IIRC, the leaves are too close to Side KO proximity for comfort anyway. Ban, for the same reason presented for stages like Big Blue - Players are often found paying more attention to...

What, don't you guys consume Sandbags pre-match for all that fiber (and all the minerals in the sand)? Come on, Wario's a big guy, he needs his nutrients... and I always figured his fart needed a little potpourri to add to the effect.

You really need to stick with Bowser dude. It's the big, bad guys who always make for the most epic matches. And you know VERY well how to make Epic of your matches.

I just want to say one thing, regarding the people who say we should, can, and do circumvent the problems with Nintendo's online: It is NOT the responsibility of the user to compensate for the engineer's inadequate work.
