I try to use Up Tilt to edgeguard anyone who is coming in low. The timing is too tight for me to pull it off reliably, but when that shit happens it is hilarious

The uptilt is great against people who overestimate edge grab invulnerability.

Ganondorf actually has a few surprising options for this stuff. In particular, his dash attack will hit enemies who are hanging off the edge, which no one ever expects!
Nothing as good as the UTilt, though, and the range on it is a lot longer than it appears

Fucking hell. I hope they patch that. I don't want to break my 3DS.
I disagree, this option may very well save the game's competitive scene from going the way of Brawl.
...just curious, how does having a difficult to pull off glitch that most people will never ever figure out somehow make a fighting game competitive?
It speeds up the game, bringing it closer to Melee, which is the most important thing for the tournament scene.
In other words, the competitive scene will reject anything that isn't 100% Melee.
I wouldn't and won't say that, even if I think it from time to time, but usually for a game to be successful from a tournament perspective it needs to be fun to play AND fun to watch. Not necessarily for the layman, although that helps, but at the very least for people who know what they're watching. A faster game means less running away and less safety on moves (due to the increased range) mean less waiting around. It creates a situation where you can force your opponent to make a mistake rather than wait for them to do so.
I didn't mind wavedashing, because it wasn't THAT hard to do and wasn't even necessary for some characters. I mained Peach in Melee, and for her Float Cancelling was and (I think still is) way more important than wavedashing.
Perfect pivoting annoys me though because I find it very difficult to do consistently. It literally requires a 1-frame input, which for those of you following at home is 1/60th of a second. If your input lasts 2 frames or more you'll fuck it up and your character will spaz out.
Some of is just don't have the reflexes to do that shit. I'm fine with finding advanced mechanics that create new and exciting gameplay options, but this seems like a little much, so I hope it remains an extremely situational gimmick.
That's a pretty sweet combo. I would be get pretty hype if I saw someone pull anything like that off in a tournament match, but setting it up would be pretty difficult even for a dedicated MegaMan player. Just not being on an Omega stage would already rule it out.

Yeah, you have to footstool a standing opponent with a Metal Blade in hand in order to start the combo. Considering that you can't footstool someone if he is doing any action aside from standing, walking, running, or jumping, that's... unlikely to be achieved against a real person.
Someone over on the Mega Man boards at Smashboards has a similar combo that begins with using Leaf Shield to stun the opponent, allowing him to footstool. That's only slightly more practical, consisting how rare it is to get a Metal Blade in hand, have a Leaf Shield up, and be within jumping distance of a standing opponent. He claims to have executed the combo against humans, mostly when they stand up from ledge.

I could imagine it being possible to set up, although I am pretty skeptical to believe a random Smashboards poster who doesn't have any proof. Still, I'm always happy to see some new MegaMan tech. I would be very happy if he actually winded up being good.
have they not come through in some instance or something
they have a disagreement on how to handle returns of hardware, going back to the cracked hinges of the DS. its why nintendo doesn't directly sell hardware through amazon anymore.
there's nothing skeevy about buying anything nintendo on amazon, just be aware which seller you're actually buying things from.

Outside of being difficult to set up/pull off, it's certainly a real combo. Outside of slightly altering the trajectory they go after getting hit off the ground (in order to try to avoid the footstool), there's nothing the other player can do about this.
All I know is that if I was twelve and my friend pulled that crap on me I'd beat the ever living piss out of him. (Because this is 1999 and you're not playing online in this scenario.)

We should play a few matches sometime. I main Mega Man and like to think I'm pretty good with him.
In general I think the competitive community is kind of sleeping on the newcomer characters, with the exception of Rosalina and maybe Shulk and Robin. Some characters, like Mega Man and Pacman and Wii Fit Trainer, seem like they could have some serious potential if/when their metas develop.

And yet, melee at evo was mostly incomprehensible and also took fucking forever to finish. When the bracket almost got reset I wanted to die. Smash is just kinda not great for tournaments.

@chiasaur11 I was asleep when you said this, so yes. But! We can do it tonight whenever you get on.
That's a Ganon FG Hat Trick; you are now inducted into the hall of fame
If that's happened more than once in these tourneys that would be delightful, though
You'll also need to beat Master Fortress three times at 8.0 (or higher) for both Master Fortress theme CDs.
Won't be on long tonight, but that sounds good. Should be playing for a bit in a little over six hours.
Why I fear the ocean.

It'll reject overly defensive games that are boring to spectate, which melee wasn't and brawl was
It makes sense for it to have been you - if it was on lylat then it deffo was

Weird, I search for Amiibo and I get 25 results, none of them Amiibo.
EDIT: Oh, I see, it's auto-filtering to "Wii U Accessories". Remove the filter and they show up again.

A couple retailers have Amiibos under Wii U accessories. I wonder if maybe Amazon changed their mind, but half-assed the change.
Selling Board Games for Medical Bills
Their relationship is so weird and it's the only time Amazon feels shady

Chinese dota teams are infamous for conservative play where matches can take over ninety minutes.
