Still have to be wary against characters like Dedede and Wario who are better off shielding then spot dodging. Delaying an attack on a shield will probably just get you shield grabbed easier.

I've been running CPUs as Kirby, Meta, and Dedede just to see how computers react to eachother... Apparently Kirby and Meta don't like Dedede. They always seem to focus on him and barely focus on eachother :x

Nobody I play with ever wants to play Subspace they say it looks boring so I got to play by myself.

Agree the cutscenes were baddass.  but thats not enough to keep me wanting to keep playing.

you can do some pretty looking "combos" on ddd, so I would probably go after him as well.

Shielding is better than dodging. It's one of the most powerful things in the game. For that reason, I always play for the shield, not the dodge. The dodge is just annoying when people like fazz run up to you dodging. Rob's dodge is stupid. That's all rob does and you can't do anything about it be because he does that spinny thing right away. Once I get a better handle on marth, this type of stuff won't bother me.

I still can't handle ike, metaknight, or DDD. These are his hardest match ups for me so far.

R.O.B.s spot dodge is very short, and D-smash has nearly no start up lag. If thats the R.O.B.s strategy, a short hop keeps you above the D-smash. You can then punish it with your aerial of choice.

Dedede can't really combo, he can WoP and Chaingrab but after that his only true combo is with Waddle Doos. Waddle Beam > F-smash/Dash Attack >.>

Bought game a few days ago. It's ace, well worth the wait.

do you play online, if so whats your FC?

Actually Shiek is who I main, I'm just saying even with her nerf she's still got speed, it takes a lot more work but she can still get the job done, I can't do that work online though - I don't know how to play and predict around the lag.

Normally I have a good off the edge ariel game with her, but I was beaten out repeatedly because of the 2nd delay with Fazz.

Either way if shffl is gone, then chain grabs should of been taken out but that's not our problem... either you use it or you lose to it. >.> I just never use it no interest to learn it.

I was doing practice mode with pikachu and realized he has 0 delay after his thunder hit's him, and his down smash has a wierd disjointed hitbox. I don't get the logic in this balance system of Sakurai's. Oh well *breaks brawl disc* ahh good riddance.

So I will probably have to wait till Tuesday to get the game (+/- 1 day).

Can´t wait anymore, I love Smash Bros.

So are you coming online with all of us louie?
