| I believe that to be true, Emptyeye. People aren't cool in general.
Also, I'll probably be embedding Brighter Side (by SaGa - mostly English version, since I can't find the full English one; can someone help me with this?) at some point. Anyone who adblocks it is Hitler. (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 11-30-05 12:46 AM) |

No that's just a silly way to perform a technique to make you stop.
|
Wavedashing is essentially abuse of the physics of the game. To do it, perform a hop in to the air, and then quickly air-dodge in to the ground at any angle. Ideally, you do it within a frame of where the game counts as you leave the ground, and I believe the timing for this varies slightly between characters. You generally don't actually see your character leave the ground. The momentum from your air dodge will remain and your character will slide forward a distance determined by the angle of your dodge and your character's traction. For the purposes of various things, you're standing still, though. This is useful for when you need to quickly change directions, quickly come to a complete stop, fake out the opponent, accelerate quickly while landing from being airborne, perform tilt and smash attacks while in motion, run faster than your character can normally (does not apply for every character), and many, many other things. Due to differences in traction, it's more useful for some characters than others, but because of the sheer number of applications of it, any character will benefit from effective wavedashing.

Most of these laws are just old ones that are so outdated no one even bothered to have them repealed, though. No one's going to enforce them.

"It's easy to make useless and it's easier to do?" What does that even mean?
|
Anyway, no it's not a fluff move because it greatly increases the speed at which you can do various things. It takes practice to do effectively, and wavedashing but not wavedashing effectively can easily cost you quite a bit, but that does not change the fact that faster speed means less wasted time. If two people are of equal skill, but one wavedashes (effectively, mind you) then they can accomplish more in a match in the same time. Thus, in effect, what you are saying is that efficiency is worthless, and that's just not true. The preceding paragraph made an argument solely based on its time-saving abilities, which were explained in my previous post. However, it does not take in to account the superb mindgames you can play with it. Simply put, when you wavedash, you have more options than when you don't; sure, you could follow up your dash with an attack, or you could quickly wavedash backwards, or you could do many other things. If you have more options and your opponent knows you have more options, then they are less likely to anticipate your actions, and thus are less likely to counter them (and of course, if they don't know you have more options, then when you pick the alternate options then they flatly won't counter them. Heh.) If they're wrong, they'll likely respond in a way that leaves them vulnerable; for instance, they might respond with an attack of higher priority, the recovery to which leaves them open to attack. Thus, the notion that wavedashing is useless fluff is simply an ignorant one.

Stylish Alastor: Back me up on that Magikoopa Myster's Komik sucks.

Cymor0: Yes Stylish Alastor: Also, he wants it changed to Kirby's Komikal Komik. Stylish Alastor: The name, that is. Stylish Alastor: I can't POSSIBLY be the only one to see what's wrong with this. Stylish Alastor: Well, not so much wrong as... That's a horrid name. Cymor0: GEE I WONDER HOW PEARDIAN FEELS Stylish Alastor: He then goes on to say "Hope you enjoy KKK as much as you enjoy MMK!!" Cymor0: OH GOD AHAHAHAHA Cymor0: Does he even know what he said? Stylish Alastor: I don't know. Stylish Alastor: But... KKK... Stylish Alastor: Damn. Stylish Alastor: Just... Damn. Anyway, I'm not changing the title to Kirby's Komikal Comic. No one will. If you can't see why then... Damn. Just... Damn. Edit (By the way, this is a totally legitimate edit that definitely exists): GOD DAMN YOU CY

Originally posted by GreyJust because you can win without it, doesn't make it useless. Some of the best people in the world at Smash don't use it, but this doesn't make it not worth using in any way, but that doesn't really matter. The point is it seems like you merely have a disproportionately high skill level based on who is near you. That proves nothing, though. I can beat everyone around me with Mewtwo. Does this mean non-Mewtwo characters are useless? No. No it does not. Originally posted by GreyThis argument doesn't make sense. Not designed to be played strategically? Just... What the hell? With all the techniques clearly designed to be in the game - crouch cancelling, directional influence, light shielding, and power shielding, just to name a few out of the staggeringly high amount - you can't really can't say the game wasn't made to be played strategically. And there's not just a fwe thigns you can do out of a wavedash. There's many, and no one thing can counter them all. Also, your examples suck. Kirby's suck has quite a bit of lag and is horridly easy to get around, and the Reflector, while a first-frame move, won't stop physical moves of high priority, or anything with a disjointed hitbox. Originally posted by GreyThat's true. It probably isn't. However, wavedashing can gain you much more than a few milliseconds, which you would know had you actually been paying attention. Originally posted by GreyIf that's their tendency, then fine. It's not like you absolutely HAVE to wavedash during everything, and that tendency will leave them vulnerable to other things anyway. That tendency likely won't get them out of what you can do with wavedashing if you vary your tactics, though... And wavedashing is by no means hard to pull off. It just takes practice, is all, but once you get it down, it's very, very easy. The notion that attacking is faster than wavedashing and attacking is also incorrect. As one example, If they're close to you but out of the hitbox of your desired attack, advancing until they are and then stopping so you can use a tilt or smash or whatever and then doing so is much, much slower than wavedashing forward and performing the chosen attack as you advance on them. Originally posted by GreyUgh. Grey, pay attention, please... Between all the different things wavedashing can do for you... That's just... I don't even know how to respond to the notion that it limits you to moving quickly. That's just... Incorrect.

Originally posted by NSNickBut that question's not even math, it's just a simple reasoning problem... Well it probably could be solved with math, but I didn't bother to try, and instead reasoned that if the result is directly proportional to the numbers in the question, it must at least be higher than 21 and lower than 100, but it wasn't close enough to the 10 ◙ 20 to possibly be 96, so it had to be C, 32. I would've totally died if that was one of those ones where you shade in the digits of the answer.

Ooooh man. This game ROCKS.

asdflk;ahsdf;klhasdflkhasdplfkhas;lkdfh;kalsdhf;aklsdhf;lakshdf That's really all there is to say. It's an RPG, but keeping in the tradition of all Mario-related RPGs, it manages to not suck despite being an RPG (as we all know, RPGs tend to suck, especially those made by Square/Square-Enix.)
