zEE's movement is very... strange.. Its like they're initiating movement that uhhhh, they themselves cannot keep up with? How does that work though? Like how does one start movement that is too complex for oneself? Is the controller malfunctioning??
These days I mostly just play for a few hours on the days ranked is free. When I was starting out I tried to practice at least half an hour each day solo at least just to understand movement stuff.
@@Jaggernaut well it recommended one of your newer videos and so I found your channel, I just decided to come back to when you started since I also want to play melee and figured seeing how you progressed would be fun
I think when puffs ban yoshi's Stadium or FD might help you more than BF unless i'm missing out on something specific to gnw. Most puffs just float in the air the whole time and cutting their landing options while buffing your vertical killpower is always the way to go. Though maybe GnW isn't horizontally fast enough to cover the wider space which is probably the reason you go BF I assume. Its the puffs that move on the ground more. Those are the really lethal ones in my experience.
Yeah I find that gnw horizontal speed does really poorly on Pokemon. Gnw also has basically no vertical kill moves AND dies super early from opponents of the top. PS is just easily his worst stage imo. Even Puffs drill up smash can be a big problem there. As an extra downside sweet spotting gnw up b to ledge is also the hardest on that stage lol. Edit: gnw down tilt (as good as it is) is only a kill move if the opponent is grounded. If the opponent is in the air when hit then it does less damage and hits at a 45 degree angle. This makes it not as useful vs puff who is almost always going to be in the air
@@Jaggernaut yeah thats fair GnW isn't quite fast enough to really be sharking puff very well. I figured. M2 manages to do it with NiL teleports and his djc uairs.
I had to check. They do the same damage (12%) but gnw dtilt has slightly better knockback values than mewtwo up throw. The grounded hitbox is a crazy good move for kills.
I just got the game on pc is using a GameCube controller better? I’ve heard using something else can cause input lag a bit. Also learning game and watch is cool I’ve never seen him played really.
Other controllers can work fine. I know one person who got pretty good using an Xbox controller. If you want to play in person ever you'll have to get a gcc though.
your best options depends on your background. If you like using pads for fighting games go with gcc. If you have history of playing traditional fighters on arcade sticks and things like that, you should get a box controller. Be careful though, as "box hate" is quite normalized in the smash community. If you're looking to not really play offline ever though, you have more options as stated from the poster of the video. Xbox controller, SF30pro(i highly recommend), playstation controller, virtually any USB controller you can find.
The day count includes every day I've actually played vs someone. Either on slippi or in person. It doesn't include any days I didn't play or days where I only did solo tech practice.
@@Nerdieo SmashBox is a bit more controversial than others because it allows you to set some things that are against tournament rules and would make the controller illegal if used. e.g. some pixel-perfect-analog-stick-position tech that would be impossible to do on a joystick like the Peach ledgedash or the Ice Climbers no-setup desync Other than that the discussion comes and goes but a wide ban seems unlikely.
Too bad your buddy kneed you right at the beginning lol. Also, I feel like I recognize your username. Anyway, it's so good to see people are still coming to Melee after all these years. Long live Melee, and good luck on your journey ;)
is it really "learning" melee if you already know and understand everything other than executing certain techs/MUs etc ? or was this just the title for the sake of a series you wanted to do
Honestly that's just what I called it at the time. I could say something about how "you're always learning" or whatever but I've just been keeping them the same for organization and data hoarding's sake.
