could someone tell me how I can git gud at Wii U smash?

I don't get the controls, they're really slippery. Haven't played the game since the week after I bought it because it was so lame.

that's just a problem with smash 4. the game lacks precise movement options so you're stuck with a slow, slippery mess
plus smash 4 has the 10 frame buffer so it's easy to accidentally do something you didn't mean to

while melee and 64 can feel unresponsive due to lacking a buffer, ultimately it lets you have more control over your character (not to mention those games have better movement options)

as a non-competitive type, i enjoy smash 4 but i understand why people don't like it

Smash 5 announced for 2020 release. Every character is back from the previous generations of smash. 100 stages and over 1000 items and over 10000 characters and over 100000 new trophies and over 1000000 new items all for the low low price of $79.99 and a 40gig post patch with optional 400gig updated textures patch and optional optional 25gig soundtrack patch dlc.

even with the buffer, there's moments when you line up so perfectly with the stars that you get every hit perfect without buffer mmmmmm

i don't really mean accidentally doing something cool or not having to be as precise to do something cool, i mean something like getting punished because you were trying to mash out of a grab but because you were mashing within the buffer you do another grab or airdodge or something
or like... suiciding because someone jabbed you by the ledge but because you were trying to attack you get knocked off the level and do whatever attack instead

also nobodys made a challonge for a melee netplay tourney tomorrow right? cuz i totally wanna do that this time (and maybe all the other times too)
edit: and also should i seed the tourney too or just randomize it
edit 2: and does like 6:20pm central (4:20 pacific/7:20 eastern) sound good or should it be later

[Waru]

i plan to get a gamecube and melee soon :)  so i can get actual practice

[Char]

I really really really really wanna play some on console melee or pm but i cant because all of my irl friends complain about either how good i am in comparison to them, or how "broken" the game is, it's kinda annoying and I think it's holding me back

I also dont have the time or money to join any locals
training against bots is terrible, a level nine works nothing like a real person and a level 8 works worse than a real person

also im joinin the tournament

yeah, that can suck.
i think you should try anther's ladder, if you play people who are super close to you you'll probably only get 1-3 frames of delay which is pretty similar to console

you could get the 20xx hack pack. it has stuff like random CPU di/teching and spacies shining on the first frame possible out of a tech (i think) so you can practice a little more than just movement

[Char]

when is the melee tournament bc i have work all of tomorrow
