A firewall is probably blocking the data transmission. At least, that's what I think, since only playing against other players doesn't work.

wow that jigglypuff... And wow that fox di'd those up-throws so quickly when he's thrown near-immediately. good stuff

What I meant, is that Metaknight also suffers from the disadvantages you just summed up. Nearly in the same degree even. His advantages (broken recovery, able to gimp well, no lag) just outweigh that. Eh, enough about him. Kirby is good. Not broken. Not too hard to learn. Still good. Beginner's first choice, but able to compete at high level play. Likely best Falco counter, too.

Metaknight

Make him Sniper. A Swordsmaster usually wants at least 18 19 def (thanks for pointing that out), so it can survive brave axes.

Donkey Kong Country Or was it Pokemon Gold?

Only thing that comes to mind is Charizard. Even that has very few support moves. Blaziken is kinda slow, not really fitted for your role, since you want it to kill. Charizard is who I'd choose. For your ice pokémon, how about snorunt or snover?

The winner is Ridersbane. Manaketes are rare, and if you do encounter them, they have bad caps (20 spd if I'm correct even) so they're easy to take down. Horsemen are common. You sometimes see paladins, too. Use Ridersbane.

I like umbra. hate dazzle and gravity. Only one I need is generosity. Keep getting whetstone, fleet feet, and skill.

I don't know. They probably put it in because dashing was overpowered and walking was nearly obsolete, except you can do all ground attacks out of a walk and not out of a dash, but in melee you could do it anyway because you were able to cancel your dash with a crouch. I don't really mind it, you just have to be more careful with dashing, it has saved me more times than it killed me. old joke :( (btw tripping means bananas, bananas mean diddy kong, diddy kong means metaknight's worst matchup.)

Good game :). Ehh... I named it 'Moron'. Edit: Nevermind I'm too slow.

Ouch critical hit thoron :(. Lucky it was a no hax map.

I can play, if you're still here. Haha, I've fought several people on here through 'with anyone' One was called Slax, and the other Shane3x I believe. 3223 - 0585 - 7069

Give your general gravidus Also, falchion is a bit obsolete, but meh, works against manaketes and it heals hp, although not too much. (Actually, don't use it at all, Falchion is hardly better against manaketes than a max forged brave sword) If you have a free spot fill it with pure water. Also, You might not want to use Heros, berserker or horseman may be better. And one of your units needs a door/master key. Hauteclaire is also obsolete, replace it with pure water. It's an okay team, especially for a first team.

Not if you tech...jump

One is wielded by Lena when recruited. One is in chapter 12, enemy thief has it. Another one in 17, in a chest. Lastly, one in 17x, also in a chest.

I should really try to make posts more brief. 64 really is good. You gave us an example of Falcon being able to do crazy stuff out of an upsmash, but every character has one or two awesome gimmicks that set them apart from the rest, and IMO the balance between characters is much better than in the other two installments. Shielding is punished greatly because of the huge amount of shieldstun and shieldgrabbing is not overpowered. The Mario/Luigi thing is dissapointing, but other than those two the characters aren't too similar. Lag cancelling is an awesome thing too, it puts casuals apart from people who have more experience. I'll stop here. Actually, no We should do some brawls once if you have Wi-fi Edit: not that wi-fi gives an accurate picture of someone's skill.

Haha I think with 'noobz' he meant to use it against unexperienced players. By the way the cargo carry to stagespike is even easier to avoid with teching against the ledge. The throw off to down air can be dangerous to characters who have limited recovery. if you use the downthrow cargo , and the opponent airdodges (say, another donkey kong, link, ganondorf, peach, or anyone with horrible vertical (DID I SAY HORIZONTAL OOPS >.<) recovery), they will most likely die.

You can still equip your units with silver weapons (or the brave weapons from the weekends you played to train your team) when you construct your team. Then switch to ranged weapons when you know where your opponent's units are. Silver weapons are in all ways inferior to braves, but that does not mean they aren't viable at all.

You forgot Tyranitar, Exeggutor, Ludicolo, and several other chlorophyllers and swift swimmers I'm not assuming that the opponent is strategically worse than the player. How does how good the opponent is strategically prevent you from doing what I mentioned in my post? Yes, your opponent has an advantage. What I'm trying to point out, that you can make that advantage significantly smaller with inferior weapons.

The reason people will not be using those Pokemon is because those Pokemon would completely fail in the uber environment. Yet, Pokemon from the OU tier, even though as seen as inferior, can still counter Pokemon in uber battles. (Scizor, for example, counters a fair few popular uber pokémon) You can also compare this with FESD wi-fi. Braves are the better weapon, that has been made clear. Yet, you can weapons and strategies seen as 'less broken' to stand up to those brave weapons to an extent. I'm talking about ranged weapons, with your team based around the card Umbra. You will still be able to stand up to the brave weapons, while you may only have 1 or 2 brave weapons yourself (since there probably has at least passed 1 weekend during the construction of your team), even when you didn't want to wait a month to get all brave weapons.

Still aching for a brawl........

Brawl has more music, funnier stages (less neutrals, but whatever), much more 1 p content and a lot of other fun extra options such as replay, screenshot data and stage builder. The gameplay itself is different in many ways. Melee has much more hitstun, overall faster falling speed, a different airdodge that completely changes the game (wavedashing comes to mind, doing a smash out of a quick dash is really important). Brawl lost a lot of its hitstun, it still has some though, but for some reason that didn't prevent more chaingrabs coming in. Losing hitstun does mean momentum cancelling plays a big part, so you're not totally helpless after being hit by a strong attack, bar being able to DI (which makes less of a difference than momentum cancelling). Brawl is overall less balanced, because there are much more match-ups that are completely hopeless than in Melee (thanks, Dedede). Metaknight having a powerful down-smash that comes out on frame 5 also doesn't help. Melee probably takes a lot of more skill to play competitively, due to it being more quick-paced, combo's being more reliant on reading opponent's DI, and not auto-grabbing the ledges while going past them with a recovery move. (just my opinion, I think the latter was better left out anyway). Both are good games competitively, melee probably wins that slightly. Brawl has much more content, and wins that by far. Too bad for easily laggy online. I agree with the above poster that (in gameplay anyway) the N64 version is better than both. Everything in my post not based on facts is mostly opinion, feel free to argue. Oh ya, in response to this: Snake is certainly one of the more easier characters to learn. Using grenades properly is nothing to practice. If you know how it works, you can do it. Doing sliding up smashes with Snake is really easy, after a week of practice you should be able to pull it of 90% of the time. This is much harder with a character like Sheik (or is it just me? It only works like 50% of the time for me with Sheik. Timing is ridiculous) Jab cancelling is also barely something to practice. Down-throw tech chasing is based on predicting by earlier movements what your opponent will be going to do. I think Snake is really easy to learn to use. The harder ones (imo) are Diddy Kong, Metaknight (yes, I'm serieus. Metaknight is the best character if learned to use properly, but doing so is very hard, because Metaknight being the most used character too means a lot of people have experience fighting him.), Ice Climbers (timing for the infinites is insane!!!), and Lucas (Properly recovering with him can be a pain (not talking about PKT, but about the thing that makes your double jump higher when using it simultanously with PKfire, or the thing that sends you horizontally if you use PSI Magnet after PKfire. You need to learn to use PKT from below the stage because it's easily gimped. And meteor smashing with his back air is kinda hard, you need to have used this a few times before you can use this most of the time against a (smart) player). Woops, went a bit off-topic there. Feel free to argue anyway.

Well... maybe not, but it's certainly airdodgable Only thing I see working is downthrow - aether at very low percentage and if the opponent doesn't DI properly.

Scouts. you let a unit run past, and then attack with your ranged unit. The opponent will see you go past but won't see where you stay, which is way they can't attack you next turn.
