He went through the whole library, read it all, put it back. Made every English teacher in America happy.

i do not understand

 

[GalacticPetey]

I assume you're talking about Lucas landing that up-smash at the end. He predicted you would up b towards him and launched a preemptive up smash. The term for a prediction like that is a "read". I was joking how he read an entire library's worth based on that read. That phrase itself is a reference to when M2K landed this amazing reverse mid-air falcon punch in PM.

TBH I'm quite slow myself and also missed the reference before GP explained it. That's still pretty good though, GalaPe.

They were obviously trying to hit you with the ending of the up special, but failed to realize it wouldn't go far enough to not get hit by the up smash and got bodied by it.

 

[Icemario]

So after nine months of never doing this, I finally took the time to figure out how to pivot-grab.

It annoys me how simplistic it is, yet how I never bothered trying.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

What's pivot grabbing anyway?

 

[Icemario]

From what I know it's when you turn around to grab an opponent immediately in the midst of dashing.

idk how to do it like that though

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

So, does it work like dash dancing?

 

[Crypt Raider]

No. Dash dancing is a spacing technique and a mixup option, pivot grabbing essentially gives your grab more range if you do the timing right, and is safer if your character's standing grab is faster than their dash grab.

Dash dancing isn't in 4 (foxtrot dancing is), but pivot grabs obviously are. Pivot grab is a very precise flick on the control stick, dash dancing in other games is timing your control stick with your character's dash animation.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Okay. One more thing, dash dancing requires flicking the control stick. In pivot grabbing, does your dash animation matter in the same way?

 

[Magikrazy]

I haven't even mastered the art of shielding and dodging yet.

And somehow I'm still the best smasher I know. Some of my friends can't even recover.

Not really, you flick it so fast the game still thinks you're standing. Dash dance, you use it to bait your enemy into whiffing or to establish a 'zone' that enemies don't want to risk encroaching on, sou want to maximize the space you can control by knowing your full animation before you have to turn around (Falcon has an amazing dash dance in 64/Melee because he is fast and the initial animation is long, for instance).

Version 1.0.9 just dropped. Replays are intact so looks like there are no balance change.

We need someone to data mine and look for DLC possibilities.

 

[Tyrell Badd]

Preparing us for the Wolf and Ice Climbers dlc, I see.

 

[GalacticPetey]

inb4 Young Link and Pichu data-mined.

You know, I'd actually be okay with that.

 

[YuruNex]

Source for the update releasing? edit: The game itself told me.

Also, it may just be something small like Tourney mode imo.

 

[SonicMario]

Given Sakurai's hate for anything leaking out (Subspace Emissary cutscenes) it's possible they won't leave any more sudden character hints so when they do reveal them they really will be a surprise next time.

Though we don't even know if Sakurai knew it was datamined and leaked.

 

[YuruNex]

Well, so far it seems the update did literally nothing. Pac-Man is still as glitchy as ever and there's nothing new online.
