Hey y'all. As a SC fan who found out about this scene with the Liquid Ken/KDJ and The Smash Brothers announcement (oh my God what an amazing documentary) I'm starting from the bottom here. So do you guys have any tips for where to start improving my play from a totally casual base? I've played on and off for years with my brother and friends, but I didn't even know about any advanced techniques or tactics until now (also, I've always played Link which it appears may be not ideal). Also, is there a website with TL-esque functionality in relation to streams and events? A website where I can find the big upcoming tournaments and get the streams when they start?

Cheers,
Q

There's a bunch of guides on advanced techs and how to improve in general on YouTube and Smashboards. The closest thing there is to TL-style calendars/schedules would be Smashboards (although I personally hate their calendar interface) or /r/smashbros.

I come from a similar background and only decided recently that I wanted to get a lot better at this game. I also used to main Link, because he was my main character in SSB 64, and I had only ever played melee a handful of times. When I found out that he wasn't so great apparently, I switched to Marth. He had the closest play style to Link compared to other characters that I found, mainly because they both use swords. No projectiles like Link has, but Marth's still a pretty awesome character. I watched a quick video guide from Ken about some techniques that Marth players can use. If you switch you him you might want to take a quick glance through it.



Guide starts at about 20 min and goes over things like spacing, ledge guarding, what Ken Combo looks like (looks sick when he executes it), various Marth moves etc.

Also, Marth's grab is crazy ridiculous good.

Thanks guys. Have been reading a very user-friendly Peach guide on Smashboards. Shameless Wife fan, me. I blame his starring role in the Sarox series.

Play Falcon! He's pretty hard at the beginning compared to say, Marth, but he's super fun. Landing a solid knee is a great feeling.
watch the wall collide with my fist, mostly over problems that i know i should fix

At the end of the day an off-stage reverse Falcon Punch into suicide is one of the most satisfying kills possible in smash. Happens only in 1 out of 1000 games, but when it happens ... Oh boy. The feels.

Couldn't find any posts about this. Nintendo is hosting a Smash 4 Wii U invitational at E3 2014 (sort of like the International was first hosted to show off Dota 2).



EDIT: I'm a virgin to TL's smash forum, sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

ROF3 is now a 5000 pt qualifier, whee

still kinda irks me how much the circuit rewards people with time and money on the east coast. i don't mind zero or soft or whatever but them making it in over any of the top 20 in cali would be kinda disappointing

To all new smashers.

If you are seriously playing smash, attending events and practicing like a blue assed fly, please for the love of god don't main fox/falco/marth, show some originallity, show some inspiration.

You, yes YOU can revitalize and revolutionize SSBM with your amazing non-S class character!

Make the spectators happy! Get outside the box! Be different!

Not that I qualify since I'm not actually making any attempt to learn at a competitive level, but I always played marth from my mega-casual high-school dorm days and regardless of his "tier" I don't think I'd ever change

I think it's better just to play characters you find fun to play. If they're really popular characters, whatever, there's no need to be some kind of character hipster.

If you want to watch Smash with more diverse characters you could always watch Project M!

Why? Not everyone who plays aims to be #1.

There's plenty of chars outside of the S tier who are viable enough.
