Melee Textbook Project

Currently working on a Super Smash Bros Melee Textbook. A full compendium of all competitively useful knowledge.

The first section of the textbook is now public! It's been months in the making. Check it out for free at https://t.co/rZGCGS9Aj2

I had no idea this was a thing. It looks like Marth's random hitstun animations significantly change where he goes from the same hit/DI

[Jas | FIZZI#36 @Fizzi36]

@leffenfanboy I believe this animation can happen with any character, Marth just seems to be notorious for altering his hurtbox position more than most characters.

This used to cause a desync in Slippi. @UnclePunch_ found the conditions in screenshot.

To elaborate on what Fiction said: Marth has 2 hitstun animations, one where he just flies and one where he spins around. The spinning one makes his hurtbox much more narrow and puts it higher up. It's why stuff like fthrow upsmash can RANDOMLY be very doable or super hard

[Andrew Nestico @PracticalTAS]

@aMSaRedyoshi Yeah, it looks like if the turnip clanks with another hitbox on the same frame that it hits Yoshi, it does not lose its hitbox like it normally does.

I wanted to be @TextbookSSBM so I have moved twitters! Follow me there :)

U know what's hilarious? Ppl love in traditional fighters when ppl whiff punish limbs, it's one of the sickest things. In Smash? they'll just call it stupid broken no skill game doesn't work right how did it hit I can't believe it's not butter I hate this game.

Clown work.

@danielddizzle Some true myths :)
Peach's turnip goes farther if you throw it backwards
Sheik jumps farther if you hold backward on the way up
Wavedashes go farther if you spam grab while sliding
G&W has the easiest foxtrot in the game
Marth's running turn can last over 2 seconds

No wait, we can’t remove wispy until I hit this in bracket

@SmashBotMelee How can we watch?

[Melee Textbook Project @MeleeTajum]

This youtube channel has so much amazing stuff on it and so little recognition. Y'all should check this out.

shield drop fsmash 🙂

tldr shield drop notch will make you crouch but once it makes you walk; means you move forward automatically when hit and spacing becomes easier

Hello America. Daylight Saving Time is over which means you no longer have to hear me correct people to say "PDT" instead of "PST," as PST is now correct. Thank you and I will see you again on March 13, 2022.

Peach has 3 ground float heights: 2.2 units up is done by holding down and jump. 1.6 units up is done by pressing jump twice during jumpsqaut. 0.0 units above the ground is done by pressing jump the second time the frame Peach leaves the ground.

[Melee Textbook Project @MeleeTajum]

@daolothe No, it can be done anywhere. I need to verify the Y-values. I'll figure it out today after work

[Melee Textbook Project @MeleeTajum]

I think I just discovered a way to float lower than subfloat with Peach

Myth busted: it is actually possible to hit the "impossible" hitbox if the weaker hitbox phantom hits an internal hurtbox (in this case, G&W's head) on the same frame that the impossible hitbox hits a hurtbox with lower priority (G&W's nose).

[Kadano B2B @KadanoB]

Trigger potentiometers vary quite much in their performance, regarding return smoothness and lifespan. This is going to be a thread on the differences between the types and batches. (1/14)

@danielddizzle O wait it might be im thinking of hitbox phantoms high priority hurtbox and so doesn't try to hit a lower priority hurtbox that is clearly hit, so yea nvm
