i feel like falco needs a buff that shortens the landing lag when he uses aerials

because he feels way too clunky when you try to make use of how strong falco's air game is

Exactly.

Hey guys, I'm hosting an online tournament tomorrow at 5:00. If anyone is interested, please join. It's double elimination. You can sign up here: http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/Idp3wsqfQJ

5:00 PM Eastern time tomorrow. Technically it starts at 5:15, but you'll have from 5 to 5:15 to check in.

Also would anyone like to play a few 3ds matches?

I think I finally got a grasp on the wonders of Speed Shulk. Now I just need to figure out how to use his Jump arts.

I'm down to join the tournament.

I find Jump Arts to be one of the most useful arts. What I do; activate it when they have a high percentage (50-60 atleast), then when you knock them far away with a smash, or whatever, jump right next to them and fair, or whatever would be best in that situation. It's unpredictable because even though they know you have jump, they might not be expecting it, and they have to react quickly. I get people a lot with that.



Sweet, please do

you know what i like

people who use shield as soon as they spawn, or smash as soon as i'm at like 10%. what're you gonna kill me with? ftilt?

lol that's stupid. The worst is when I accidentally press B too many times, and activate smash instead of buster or something. I know you can cancel it but still.


So what are your guys opinions on shield? Sometimes I think it's not worth it. Let's say your on your last stock at like 100%. If you use shield you're just going to prolong your stock. If i'm in that scenario I tend to use smash instead and try to pressure my opponent and steal the win. If it's not the last stock definitely use shield and try to get that extra damage in before you die, but on the last stock I think it's a bad idea.

Shulk's Monado Arts Customs are a lot of fun.

Yeah it is Shulk himself has a lot of potential then most people give credit for the only problem is his airs are kinda slow.

it's a toss up between buster or shield at high %s. depends on the character i'm fighting, really.
unless i'm a stock ahead. then i go for smash or buster depending on my opponent's %

In a way shulk can be easy or complicated depending on how you play him. Sometimes at high percents you may want to go for jump instead of smash because you die early to. When at low percents you can get more attacks in if you go for buster. But may want to go for shield because you at high percent because your ahead a stock. Most of the time I don't go for to many risky things in certain situations.

There's no problem with using shield, you can't get combo's early on and you basically do vanilla Shulk damage so it's perfectly fine. No shame using it, now smash is fine if you're sure you will kill and you got a stock lead.

you can get easy combos with Sheik, haha. it's really not a good idea to use Monado shield as soon as your stock starts against Sheik. Ftilt or gimp into oblivion

makes sense for other characters but Sheik is not one of them



smash isn't really a smart idea when i'm only at 10% though. again. what the hell are you gonna kill me with?

It's not just his aerials, he has overall pretty awful frame data.
It balances him fairly well, because his range is pretty ridiculous.
