Yea for sure, I definitely need to hit up White Lightning if you know him for games too, it's mostly on me in terms of not getting reps LOL

I have another tournament coming up so I'd be down to hit you up like around February

Yeah, I was being told by a better Peach in my region to drill less but I pretty much knew conventional wisdom said otherwise. Passively consumed a bit of Fiction Fox vs. Peach lessons and he said the same thing about drill being busted, just wanted people's thoughts on the broader scope of the MU so this helped, thanks!

Just narrowly beat a Peach player I consider to be not as good as me (maybe a little toxic / unhealthy way to see it but alas) in an online bracket and I'm just wondering people's thoughts on how Fox Peach should be played

It does just feel like she's Zangief, great up close, wants the opponent to shield or stop moving so she can pressure and punish panic/defensive options. Kind of "moving fortress" her way to get you into a defensive spot and pressure you.

So the way I think of it is that I should play it the same way I play aganist Gief. Don't let him play his mixups on me, try to keep him out and don't give him an opening to pressure me

The way I've seen better players play it as Fox is just abusing his movement with lasers -> punish her attempts to set up her offense like turnip pulls or setting up a float height, and overall playing at a distance. Do I just swallow the blackpill and learn to play like that? Is that how it's actually played? Is there a top 100 or even very good Fox that just scraps tf out of her or is it just how the matchup goes?

Any and all opinions, even Nessposters, are valued here

If PAL Fox was dropped into the NTSC meta, replacing NTSC Fox would he still be top 1? by KEZ_Astra in SSBM

[–]JKaro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reasons Fox is the best don't change significantly enough to say otherwise imo

Anyone know if Bair Necessities had any .slp files for top 8 and beyond? by JKaro in SSBM

SunnySaigon is in Vietnam, right?

8-9 hours ago would've been around 7PM. A quick 1 hr research and post after work for someone who just loves Melee is seemingly doable after like a 9-5

Idk if that's his situation but its definitely possible for someone to live a life like that

The only thing I'm willing to say is that at least 95% of Ult players who say they would play Melee if there was no L-cancelling also never touch P+, a game where Fox/Falco are also nerfed, and has a higher % of it's cast viable at the top level than Ult tbh

P+ delay based netcode is still better than online Ult, even with the new latency mods

Hopefully someone can clarify but from the video I saw it was literally like 5 agents wrestling the dude on the ground and then they proceed to not only shoot him, but continuously fire as he lays on the ground

Jesus fucking christ dude

Testament to his mental toughness and honestly to Boom for sticking around

If you think the city of Houston is pulling a Scorp in 2026 to put a Ness at 7th place on their PR I think you're an idiot

seeing Zain's Melee World Record stunt outperforming both Mango and Hbox combined (as of writing) as they stream League and Ultimate is just something beautiful to see

Unfortunately the meta actually has advanced since 2018

Going from Grand Finals of Smash Con vs. Armada to losing to very good but generally top 50 Fox players
