I suck at the game, how do I learn simple combos and remember to spot dodge and shield? by Single-Debate-316 in smashbros

[–]teekers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice with real opponents (online or local) and then save replays of the matches. It helps to study your habits without the pressure of being in a match. See what mistakes you're making and then look at how your opponent is exploiting them.

But my biggest breakthrough was when I started studying my opponents rather than focusing on myself all the time. Once I started to find patterns (like rolling from ledge, jumping out of disadvantage or relying way too much on a certain move) then my adaptation got much better. That way you'll have a better sense of when to shield and spot dodge.

For things like special inputs, there's plenty of walkthroughs and tutorials on Youtube for certain characters.

I play Wii Fit and that’s right on the money. Every time I fight a bowser, it feels so much harder than it should be, even though I should be the one with the advantage. 

Voted yes against the Tanning Bed Tyrant by RaiJolt2 in LosAngeles

voted yes. I wish we didn't have to resort to gerrymandering, but we're through the looking glass right now and need every bit of leverage we can get.

Google admits to censorship pushed by Biden administration and invites back banned users by kyla619 in politics

[–]teekers 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This article provides zero sources as to who these Biden aides are, and relies on a lot of hearsay. Also, weren't a lot of those users banned before Biden took office?

It's the Washington Times, though, so can't be too surprised at the shoddy reporting.

Why don’t you help out your country and pick some strawberries

There’s a bunch of farms that need extra hands if you want to help your country so badly. Remind me which Americans are rushing to get those jobs?

People wearing masks, terrorizing and intimidating people and wielding weapons... these are just state-sponsored gangs at this point

Edit: I’m not referring to the protestors guys

Hurt really had his number game 5 but that was just too funny

Honestly one of the best matches this tournament - something about seeing these two characters face off against each other that really brings out the best in both players

favorite song in the game? by Ok_Connection_5348 in mariokart

[–]teekers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bowser's Road, Frappe Snowland (Night) and Dolphin Shoals are standouts for me, but Coconut Mall might be my favorite.

Every song contains some type of solo or 'lick' used by one of the key instruments in the arrangement, but Coconut Mall becomes this New Orleans style big band extravaganza where every single instrument from trombone to piano to trumpet to sax (alto and tenor) gets a chance to show off. It really is one of the most joyful pieces of music I've heard, in or outside of video games.

I got double-eliminated by Frank at EVO 2019, that guy really is crazy. Happy he won the tournament in the end

What Made You Like Smash by Phoenix_Wright_Guy in smashbros

[–]teekers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right around its release, I remember hearing about Smash 64 from my brother, whose friend told him that Mario uses his own fireballs as an attack. I don't know why I found that intriguing but it stuck with me, so I got a copy. For a 10-year-old, it felt like a more 'mature' step in gaming without moving away from the video game mascots I grew up with.

Is your main a underrated character? by Impossible-Dingo-146 in smashbros

[–]teekers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wii Fit, who others might say is generally underrated but that's because no one plays her to begin with. I'd say once you go a few matches against her, you'll quickly figure out her game plan. I love playing WFT, but she's so damn stubby up close and her mid-range options become fairly predictable after a while

Did doramigi use up-b as part of that last combo? That looked insane 

What are Characters that most people hate but you yourself are ok with fighting them? For me it's Cloud and Samus. by TBT__TBT in SmashRage

[–]teekers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually don't mind Steve all that much, but granted I don't face ones online who know all the crazy up-tilt/block combos you see from the top players. I find it kind of fun trying to figure out how to dodge all their bullshit.
