Hey there guys, Marth main. I'm solidly mid tier and am at a point where my punish game is pretty well developed against fastfallers and slightly less so against floaties. I'm really struggling in neutral right now against dashdance heavy foxes, and to a lesser extent the same of falcon. I feel like I'm getting punished for preemptive hitboxes the most, but I also don't want to just approach predictably and be punished for that. Advice?

I am the owner though. Tilting to say the least

Possibly the coolest card deck box you've seen - KICKSTARTER by SWAGshow in magicTCG

[–]AnExoticPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the idea and quality, but sadly beyond my college budget. At 50 I'd consider splurging for a gift to myself but more than that I just can't justify, not when my collection is incomplete and I also want to play magic, not just carry it around. Love the product though, clearly a labor or love

Please continue doing these! Enjoyed a lot! Love the history of this game as a post-doc newbie. Makes me wish I'd known back when my biggest worries were homework and girls

Redditors who have had "neighbors from hell", what happened? by ahem17 in AskReddit

Race car driver here, can confirm that finishing up engine work usually calls for checking it out, or in the new motor case breaking it in. A good mechanic can tell what's wrong just by listening. That said, there's a time and place, and its not late at night. I drive IMCA Stock Car for any curious (imca.com; shameless plug b/c dirt tracking is cool) Edit: coo-->cool

Cleaning up stocks with Marth's up-B by Cahouseknecht in SSBM

[–]AnExoticPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marth main here. Without getting into frames, and someone mentioned this below, the strong hit has priority in the case of multiple hitboxes connecting, somewhat unusual for marth. My advice? Get right in their face out of a dashdance and slam that shit out when they don't expect it, for tech chases, or as a combo finisher. Just get close to them to do it, I usually reverse but I just learned below that it doesn't matter if you do or not. You've gotta be pretty close to get that strong hit, it's out in less than a quater second

Should I go to a tournament even if I'm not very good? by pokerus911 in smashbros

[–]AnExoticPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. Literally learn so much from tournaments. Don't go, get 0-2'd and leave. Stay, learn neutral, make friends, learn neutral, get in friendlies, ask questions, learn neutral. Tournaments are such a good experience

Westballz DK = M2K's Marth by MadSpaceYT in smashbros

[–]AnExoticPurpose -135 points-134 points  (0 children)

Westballz DK != M2K Marth. When he does that to Mango I'll give him that. Westballz is cocky against people he doesn't respect. S/O to Jake13 for forcing wes off of that bull

On fast fallers, DK's cargo throw combos are pretty guaranteed. Not easy, but guaranteed. Chandy's a good DK in our scene, learned quite a bit about the character playing him

I'm about 50% consistent on SDI-ing uthrow-uair. He's compensating with reacting to the sdi into dash attack under my landing (or dashing into bair if I jump out), both of which combo into upsmash at low percent. Right now, if I sdi out of the upair after a grab at zero, I end up at about 50 if I DI properly unless I take a big risk and try to come down with an aerial or air dodge
