it sure was cool of that rando to stick around until the end

Shit

my heart actually jumped

The point of the rule is to encourage anonymity. It isn't a Forum, and the less discussion on a person's identity, the more discussion there is on the subject that's supposed to be discussed. Trips and pics are okay if they're relevant, but in /lgbt/s case, it's just straight up shitposting and the quality of the board would increase ten fold with the garbage tripfags and avatar whores gone.

i don't care

there's nothing wrong with avatarposting and it's stupid that there's a rule against it

but we're talking about the worst website on the internet

smart people who understand how to play

probably the worst holiday ever conceived

My favorite artists and bands:

David Bowie

Yes

Pink Floyd

King Crimson

you don't think any of these qualify as "weird" do you

why haven't we played yet

Yeah idk really. You up for playing at some point today before 7?

sure, i can play around 5ish

why haven't we played yet

give me epic prank ideas to prank my class with

I just need to give up on trying to get into Elite smash.
I've been as high as 3.6 million GSP as Dark Samus and not gotten in and in all this time I have not enjoy a single matchmaking game. Even in cases where I've 3 stocked people I still wanted to put my Switch in the microwave afterward. There has to be a better way than this.

i'd just join lounges if you want to enjoy games, quickplay is a fucking joke

there are DOZENS of us

people are obviously gonna treat this guy and stories like this as something to gawk, laugh at, then summarily dismiss and move on from, but i choose to look at this sort of thing as a beacon of hope for rationality in the world

especially when this is taking place in fucking INDIA of all places

who knows, maybe 1 in 1000 people will have some sort of intellectual "awakening" from things like this

his parents seem to have a pretty based attitude about it, too, judging from their quotes in the article

How the fuck do you get out of Donkey Kong's Stage spike. I just lost to the most garbage player ive ever seen due to that shit and I feel like stabbing a child in the face because of it.

learn to tech

on top of that, i think the most optimal way to mash out of grabs is to spin the stick in circles as opposed to mashing buttons, works for me at least

but if you're at too high % to either tech or mash out, then just Don't Get Hit™

It's not just the recovery though, it happens in other situations as well. Say you block facing left while your opponent is to your right. You drop the block, move the directional stick to face towards the right, and hit the grab button or attack right after. It happens quite often that the turnaround input just doesn't get picked up and that I end up doing the attack or grab while still facing the wrong way even though I already moved the direction stick.

yeah, imo you should just condition yourself to perform the grab later than you think you need to; after testing, i was able to successfully do what you're trying to do 44 times out of 50 clean (uninterrupted) attempts, during online matches, with the 6 failures boiling down to me being sloppy

in this game, you must wait 11 frames before you can act out of dropping your shield (which obviously increases if your shield was hit at any point, which is called shieldstun), and you only have a handful of options if you want to act out of shield instantly

rolling and sidestepping (or spot-dodging) are your two regular out-of-shield (OoS) options, and you've no doubt familiarized yourself with these tools

you can also grab oos, but this option was nerfed to the point of being rather shitty in this game, and doing so too often, or in less than opportune scenarios, will often produce undesirable results—pretty much only use this if you blocked an attack with a lot of endlag, and they happen to be in point-blank range

jumps and short hops can be performed OoS, as well, which is my favorite option, because it gives almost every character a universal "get off me" move—after blocking an aerial, for example, you can perform a SHFF nair OoS (short hop fast-fall neutral air out of shield) with characters such as link and jigglypuff, since these two characters have nairs with long-lasting hitboxes, and tend to be one of your faster offensive oos options as well

lastly, up smashes can be done oos (they previously had to be jump-cancelled, but it's no longer necessary), as well as your up+b—which is particularly useful for you as Link, because the spin attack has a lot of knockback and comes out rather quickly, making it a powerful "get off me" tool

the up+b oos input must be tapped, though—to perform one successfully, the stick must be flicked with the B-press simultaneously; keeping it tilted as you would normally will yield nothing

You also sometimes see it if you want to quickly turn around in midair, let go off the stick again and then do a neutral air attack, but the input seems to linger long enough so that it still registers as a back air.

i do get this sometimes, but i tend to chalk it up more to personal error than anything else

fortunately, my character's nair, fair, and even bair to a certain extent are kinda interchangeable in the sense that she doesn't really mind which one she's hitting you with, as they all lead to advantageous states and have similar purposes

link's aerials are all highly specialized though so i can see that being a pain in the ass

I've been considering it.  I've been trying to find a second character to deal with rushdowns because they fuck my Samus sideways. How's puff against rushers?

i struggle fighting spacies honestly, but little mac is puff food considering they're polar opposite characters, and puff can gimp anyone with a bad recovery rather effortlessly

just don't fight him straight up, get comfortable with the idea of camping and ban FD
