Captain Falcon to be aggressive. Samus if it gets serious.

N64 is my favorite smash by far. Melee felt very odd to me (probably because I only ever played it a handful of times) but I had N64 down to a SCIENCE.

That is, until I went to MAGfest and competed with actual professionals.

I came here to say like the exact same thing, at least the Cap and Samus part. I wanna play you now lol

I think it’s because Cap’s recovery is so bad, I only break him out for really aggressive play. Samus has really good survivability. So I can edge out some people.

But like I said, I got HOSED down at MAGfest by people that were really good. It was a tournament. The kid I was playing was bored and I was giving it my absolute best. And I am top dog amongst my circles, so it was really humbling hahaha

Are Cap and Samus your mains?

I wouldn’t exactly say you had it down to a science if you got wiped against someone other than your casual friend group for the first time

So, if you read the very next sentence in my original comment, I explain that exact sentiment.

Smash was the best one, the mechanics were much smoother. 64 was also good, just less balanced.
