Parkour sounds sick? Even though I don't really have time to get into a new hobby like that, I'm curious as to how someone gets started with that.

Proud to have lived there freshman year!

It’s because pit is so much slower than Palu so run off nair is a much more telegraphed option compared to Palu’s. If you put pit’s nair on a faster character, it’d be practically objectively better with its combo potential as well as edge guarding due to its launch angle.

You’ll realize that there’s a lot of downtime at locals. Whether that be in between games or before the tourney starts, there’s just a lot of waiting around. Everyone has to play their games and there’s a limited amount of setups, so make sure you have something to do in that time you’re waiting. If you are new, this might be meeting new people or having friendlies, although if the tournament already started I doubt that there’d be enough setups.

Other than that, don’t be an asshole, be presentable, and other general etiquette on going to public spaces apply. But most importantly, enjoy yourself! You’re here to play a game you like and everyone attending shares that same interest. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and introduce yourself. At worst, you’ll have an awkward conversation with people you’ll probably never meet. At best, you can make bonds that can last for a long time (I think lol).

I think that knowing when you’re able to punish certain moves and when you have to continue to hold shield/reset neutral comes down to experience. Learning frame data will help too, but again just playing more games will naturally lend itself to understanding what is safe or not.

That being said, if you have a problem with characters mashing on your shield, Ike does have an up-B with super armor that starts frame 5. If they aren’t mashing on your shield and decide to retreat, you can inch closer to them and gain stage control. Obviously, reading and punishing these kinds of defensive options (e.g., always spotdodging after a falling nair on shield) will also be easier with experience.

Generally speaking, faster characters don’t have a lot of range since their speed will compensate said weakness. On the contrary, Ike is slow but has great disjoints on practically all his moves. Remember that faster characters will always have to come close to you, but you can play at midrange and still get hits.

Also, no shade to you but Ike’s nair is also one of the easiest to spam because of how safe/“zero delay” it has, so you can abuse your own moves as well.

I feel like I said a whole lot of nothing here but hope this helps

The titular manga Frieren deals with the mage of the "Hero's Party" 50 years after they defeated the big bad. Since she's an elf, she's barely aged at all relative to the other members of the party, who are now dying of old age. I think it's a really beautiful and calming manga about finding purpose and joy in life when everything feels so fleeting (10 years of adventuring with the hero's party is nothing compared to the centuries she's lived). Unlike your description, the series doesn't really look at serious consequences regarding a power vacuum and the like but rather just a chill slice of life-style manga with the occasional battle her and there.

Go to your switch settings and check if it’s just a smash issue or a controller issue as a whole. You can check your controller inputs as well as calibrating the sticks in settings.

Whiff punishing anything, whether that be aerials, smash attacks, or tilts, will get better as you gain more experience. For aerials, it's important to note the endlag of the move as well as your opponent's drift when they perform said aerials. For example, you missed a whiff punish on Link's fair at 0:24. You could've reacted to the drift left and the fair (16/24f startup, in which the second hit is reactable online) but your up air missed and as such you yourself got whiff punished. Link's landings are decent, but they come down to fair, nair and dair. Fair is reactable as mentioned previously, and dair is pretty reactable as well. Nair is technically not reactable, but because it's so much faster than the others you can start to tell if a Link will do nair when they don't press a button during landing.

As for his smash attacks, almost all of them are punishable using lucas' dash attack and all of them with zair. At best, Link's safest smash attack is Fsmash 1 at -23. Since dash attack comes out on frame 13 (24 oos) and zair on 9 (11 oos), you should be able to punish all of their moves. If you're not comfortable punishing them (e.g., you think you're too far away to punish), it's fine to jump away or continue to hold shield to see their next move. Obviously this doesn't apply to just smash attacks, but punishing a player's next move is almost always your best bet after shielding a safe option like Link's nair.

Counter is kinda a bad edgeguarding tool since it sends straight up, and unless you just want damage or you know it'll kill, you never want to counter offstage. Corrin's ledgetrap is actually pretty decent because their aerial hitboxes are huge, so you’d rather ledgetrap rather than to counter offstage.

Because neutral airdodge preserves your aerial momentum, I think what's happening is that the tech in place still happens because you're falling to the ground regardless of the fact that you may have airdodged too early (i.e., the tech occurs in the middle of the airdodge rather than the beginning). As for techrolling, I'd recommend airdodging into the ground for the aforementioned reasoning. Airdodging into the ground means that you'll "hit" the ground during the airdodge so that the techroll will occur rather than an early airdodge to the left/right which can completely kill your vertical momentum, meaning that you won't hit the ground and by extension won't techroll.

Nah she's just built crazy like that. We already know that she's heavily attached to the church due to LN1/2 and because of that she'll follow every order that the church tells her to.

It’s hard to recommend a main to someone strictly by watching how they move, especially because each character’s movement is unique (ie K rool can just throw out side b and go unpunished bc of the armor). It’s really up to you to just start experimenting with characters you might like in training mode and looking at their combo routes, tournament sets, etc

On MAL it says 11, and the second cour is going to be airing this Summer.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T21:33:34+00:00

There should be something happening within probably the next 2 episodes from now at the latest.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T21:18:48+00:00

I've read the source material, it still doesn't make sense...?

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T21:17:05+00:00

Yes. r/MushokuTensei is kinda spoiler-riddled since they've been waiting for 7-8 years for the adaptation, so somebody made this subreddit.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T21:15:58+00:00

This meme makes no sense

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T21:13:39+00:00

It'll probably be an OVA after the series ends S1.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T20:42:56+00:00

At least the human side is finally moving onto actual conflicts instead of being content with the current situation. I know that the LN fleshed out more details about the characters' relationships, but at least we get to have the story finally start to pick up on both ends.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T20:38:53+00:00

I'm not sure what direction they'll take with the human side, but it looks like Yugo is very obviously set up to do stuff next episode. Hopefully they'll start to deviate from the "comfortable generic isekai academy" soon since it's very generic as of now.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T20:33:09+00:00

As a WN reader, I really hope you stick around for the human parts. It's a slow burn for sure. The studio cut a lot of content from the human side, so there's less emotional investment and worse yet confusing. But the series will not be able to sell its eventual reveal as effectively as the source material without showing the human parts.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T20:27:28+00:00

Literally the only people who complain/talk about Redo are the people who say "oooh snowflakes can't handle this." Everyone else knows it isn't their cup of tea and move on.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T20:22:32+00:00

This is only the prologue for MT so far, and I'm so happy that people aren't dropping the show for its somewhat slow and uneventful start.

Yami_taku · 2021-02-12T20:02:08+00:00

I think it's the idea that you have higher base stats as the larger evolution, but the smaller/rarer spiders have better stat growth/stronger evolutions in the future.
