I don't mention dash-dance in the Marth synopsis? Reading comprehension much?

Marth: Excellent wavedash which helps him position. The best forward-smash in the game, which hits extremely hard, has insane range, and cannot be counter-hit. The best dash-dance which, when combined with wavedash, sets up guessing games strongly in his favor.

Not sure why Shikyo is being so negative. Aside from the DI section, there's no misinformation in the guide and serves as a good start to people who've never seen a single competitive Melee match. You can only talk about so much in an intro guide.

As much as I love playing ssbm and brawl somewhat competitively with my friends, I'd never see myself taking it beyond that. I can't wait for the next-gen smash game to actually have a GOOD online system so that I can really get into it.

lol if they really cared they'd just go to smashboards.

cuz ssbm can totally be explained in detail in one guide, right? ckit's fox guide was like ten times longer than this one and it covered one character... and that was with the limited knowledge they had years ago.

edit: i wonder how many of the replies here are by people that actually don't play ssbm

It's called that because someone asked Isai for advice in smash, and he said "Just don't get hit".


i prefer azen's "fsmash and dont jump into the rape"

ckit's guide had a LOT of completely useless information about all the moves and stupid common sense uses for some moves and so on. It had very little actually useful information, and even that was quite basic. There's no good documentary on ssbm anywhere, whatsoever. :/

Nothing wrong in the major sense (apart from DI), but I'm sure if I wanted I could dispute a lot of the details.

Talking about the update that actually had all the match-ups in it, which was updated in around 2006 IIRC.
