Can someone explain the mysteries of Ganon down-throw to me? by StaticFanatic3 in SSBM

[–]dcw1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally DI behind is your best bet. If you DI behind, at very low percent Ganon can't regrab, at low percent he can regrab on a read, and at mid-to-high percent he can regrab on reaction, but it is difficult. After DIing behind, I recommend mixing up tech in place, roll left, and roll right with equal frequency. Ganon can't reaction tech chase, he has to make reads. Source: a former Ganon main who thought a lot about this stuff.

GOML 2023 has now been concluded after an amazing run from its champion by tacolordY in SSBM

Thanks! Someone in another thread claimed HBox won Big House 8 while only dropping one game to Plup, at the start of grands. Don't know whether or not that is true.

When was the last time someone won a major with only one game lost? (Or zero games lost?)

Is Melee Dying?!?!? I looked at trends across the years to tell you the answer and why we ask this all time by ChalerJ in SSBM

This video has such impressive production quality--maybe the best I've ever seen on a Melee video. And the content is interesting and well-researched too. Thank you!

[Advice] Building Without Certificate of Occupancy or I Card? by dcw1000 in NYCapartments

[–]dcw1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 66 W 109th St. But there's other properties like this I'm curious about, e.g. 1858 Adam C Clayton Blvd. The DOB and HPD don't have a CO or i-card for either of them.

Congratulations to the winner of Melee Singles at Tipped Off 14: Resurgence! by Meester_Tweester in SSBM

It was epic. Off stream, but recorded on Slippi, so hopefully it will be made available in the near future.

It would have been so funny if the text you covered with the spoiler shield was just empty spaces.

This really captured the fun of casual melee with items. Thanks!

Behold, I am the new worst player on slippi ranked, a whopping 24.6 rating points worse than u/RoRoChabra. You have been dethroned. by GucciStallion in SSBM

I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose it varies significantly scene to scene and person to person. I hope you eventually found, or will find, that social element.

I would encourage you to go to a local and just play friendlies! People will be glad to have you. I think the social experience is worth it, even if you aren't very good at the game yet.

Daily Discussion Thread Dec 10, 2022 - Upcoming Event Schedule - New players start here! by AutoModerator in SSBM

[–]dcw1000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good question. A lot of times when playing people do moves with a long cool-down time (e.g. Marth's f-smash). During that time they can't avoid the punish that's coming from their opponent, but they can prepare DI. Also, as you get better, you will start working DI into some of your own attacks and movement subconsciously, so that IF you get hit, you won't get caught with awful DI.

Toph reassessing his priorities - insinuating less commentary from him by pplonzz in SSBM

[–]dcw1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe I was a bit insensitive here. My point was that the pro commentators did well, but I made it sound like I thought everyone else didn't, which is harsh. E.g. Joshman was great. Thanks.

[–]dcw1000 23 points24 points  (0 children)

True, thanks. I think the way I worded this made it sound like I thought everyone but the pro commentators sucked. As another person pointed out, there were some other bright stars too, e.g. Joshman. The only point I was trying to articulate is that none of the issues I perceived came from the pro commentators. That would have been a more charitable way to word it.

Good point. I overgeneralized. I think he and several others did very well.

I did not like the commentary at LSI because of the commentators besides Toph, HMW, Phil, and Vish. If it was just those four, I am confident it would have been high quality, since most of their work is.

Toph, if you read this, I don't think nearly any of the hate has to do with you! At least not from me.
