Hey everyone, we got the first two videos up and running. More to come, and ill make a few notes underneath each one. Brawl strats, Etc.

If you see something like “quick note by steelroo” then that means he came and edited this to put his comments in.

Me (Lucas) vs. Steelroo (PT)

Uh, just fooling around i guess.
Have to say: Lucas, for me at least, seems to be one of the best characters.
The technique I have started to use the most in the past few days (this video was on tuesday) is doing a forward-moving BAir:

(quick explanation) If you run one direction, and after it’s too late to dash dance back, you hit the control stick the opposite direction and jump, then return the stick to the first direction, you are facing backwards while moving forwards at almost the same momentum that you had before the turn.

Example: Lucas is running to the right. Control stick slam to the left, hit jump asap, then slam control stick right immediately, then hit A.
Because you will be facing left, you will perform a Back-Air while moving to the right- really handy move for a few people (IKE! DEDEDE! LUCAS!)
Back to the match: Ivy got killed with Lucas’ sweet reflector, which i love to use as a killing blow (Ivy is particularly susceptible to this because of tether recovery only)

That was my last KO, and it looks nice… but the main attraction is realizing how powerful the spike of BAir (final big spark, end of the kick) is, which killed charizard early.
Also, Lucas has his twig FSmash thing that killed squirtle w/ very low damage.
So far I’m loving Lucas.

Me (Falco) vs. Steelroo (Wario)

I was learning how to use falco, and even though the match is marred by me suiciding with illusion, this shows off some of Wario’s mindgame ability.

(Steelroo wants to practice wario more, and although he wanted me to put up a Pit match… im lazy. Maybe tomorrow)
Because Wario is damn near unpredictable (every move has really choppy startup frames, and he moves around like G&W) and very strong, coupled with a few good aerials and WAFT, his godlike fart attack thing, (which is the final KO steelroo gets me with- very cool looking and worth expanding upon) he needs to be looked into.

Keep in mind that these are by no means final videos showcasing our talent, just good matches that I can easily comment on because I played in them and they have some good bits to talk about.
I got these two up (and I dont mean to sound apologetic, hehe) just to get them up, and more videos will be coming tomorrow, after rigapeen comes over to record at my place.

Peace everyone
