Garjack's Kevin, right? If so, then who's Jean?

Also, major lag when there's four of us. DX

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

My G&W is not the only character i can win most of my games as. There are counterpicks for almost every character. Manti, there are some games i play against you and everythings fine and then there are others when it lags badly when it comes to button lag.

DI stands for directional influence.

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

A bucket isn't the only defence to pickas down b. Firstly DI is a main factor when getting knocked up above pikachu and not to mention due to brawls little stun time theres no reason why one couldn't DI out of the way or atleast airdodge along with the DI. Not to mention up smashing DI out of Pikas down smash is possible. Brawl this time is a huge defencive game now.

wut

what the **** are you talking about "DI".

And man, airdodging ain't ****. If I'm on my A-game, it's impossible to get through it with an airdodge. It's all about timing and placement. You probably wouldn't believe how many times I've nailed people trying to airdodge through it, and I wouldn't even say I've anywhere near mastered that. I think manti would attest to how tough it can be to get through Pikachu's down B using just an airdodge. If it's done right, the person will air dodge and the air dodge will "run out" while they're still in range of getting hit by the lightning.

All I was saying was that you don't have to rely on Pikachus B electric attacks in brawl to win matches. I've seen it happen. And against G&W, Lucas, Ness spamming any time of projectile should be avoided at all cost.

You know, Fox/Wolf reflect Pikachu's down B too.

So dude, it's not just that. It's either that Korny is the only competent reflector I've EVER played, or Game and Watch's down B is inherently easier to pull off (first guess would be that it's point of effectiveness is reached more quickly than other defensive down B attacks). I'm inclined to believe it's the former just because I've played even Korny (as well as more than a few others) as Lucas and I've NEVER felt like I needed to AVOID using down B. I've had the feeling that I need to be careful and more tactful, but never that I need to AVOID it. Only with Korny's Game and Watch.

I just think a the bucket took you by surprise since you probably haven't encountered it often.

No, because I got into the match knowing that his bucket would **** me up. THAT'S WHY I BARELY USED MY DOWN B AT ALL. It's not that I got destroyed by his bucket, it's that because of his bucket, I had to censor myself and not use attacks I wanted to. And Korny even said it: Game and Watch is a strong counter to Pikachu. Even if I was way more skilled at this game than Korny, I still might not be able to overcome that advantage. That's the point. It's like trying to win a footrace with your right foot cut off.

Even if you think you have a shot at hitting them while recoving I'd only use it when trying to gimp them when they would be punished for using there attack since it would effect there recovering.

I use down B extensively when my opponent is in the air. Apparently, no matter what is going on, Game and Watch can throw out his bucket, and because Pikachu's down B is slow and easy to see coming, it gets to the point where it's not even worth risking to try it. The best I could manage was mindgaming it, waiting for him to pull out the bucket, then do something else. But that's still ****ty because I am still having to not use one of my primary tactics just due to character matchup.

Multiple down b's? From pikachu? Really now? :/ I just hate to see one get so frustrated over another character.

I hate to see it too, but when character's aren't balanced in 1vs1, I'm gonna get upset over it, especially when I'm on the losing end of the balance issue.

EDIT: I kinda feel like playing a little this morning. PM me if you're interested.

You should be.

But anyone who knows me would know that I don't give up as easily as that. I am generally relentless.

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

I don't want to take sides anymore, I just want peace. So everyone, here's a new idea: Post the character you feel you are most like and why. Then, your main. I'll go first:

I am King DeDeDe. We're both fat, slow, and no one really appreciates us. I love giant hammers and penguins. The only thing is that I cannot pull Dragoon Parts outta my butt.

My main... I don't have one... I use Lucas and Falco a lot, but I'm not sure they are my best. I don't really know who I am best with. Does anyone have any advice on finally deciding who my main should be?

Yeah I know it's random.

rofl. It's random, but it works. And it made me laugh.

I don't really know which character I'm most like... anyone want to give me their thoughts on what character I might be? lmao

My main: Link. *people in the background are saying "Ewwwwwww, low tier character"* stfu, kthnxbie! :] I love Link<3 He's basic. I like that for some reason. He has short-range attacks and long range. Yay. IMO, he has awesome air attacks. Bair being my personal favorite. -'u'-

Re: Dog's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder

Even if you're on your A game afro, dodging your down B is always easy as pie. Air dodging is s***.
