Blue Pill for sure. Cuz it doesn't say it has to be only for Smash, I could totally be like, "Hey Zain, which carton of milk should I buy?" and he could be all like, "2% dude." Would be pretty cool.

[@swank8508]

a good example of why experts in one field arent experts in every field. whole milk is clearly best and i will DIE on this hill

It says ALL the pros! Do you really want Ken, M2k, Mango, and Armada yelling over each other??

See but what of like all the coaches talk to you including Leffen

[@GustoFormula]

thanks for this. I've practiced tech chasing in uncle punch a lot and even studied the frames of different tech options, but I still haven't been able to react to tech in place and grab it a single time lol. excited to see if this will help

[@SSBMTutorials]

It's definitely still very hard, but in my personal experience, if you are even close to doing it online, you can easily do it on CRT

[@ZachStarAttack]

for reacting, sussing out visual cues and flowcharting by reacting to techrolls while assuming its tech in place until proven otherwise is what i have done to make me a reaction speed god

I'd take pink pill, without having to worry about execution I can completely customise my own playstyle

[@koitsuga]

Reaction time pill is still the strongest because of what it does for you in neutral and advantage state: it shrinks your opponent's unreactable threat zone in a weird nonlinear way.

[@ExoticDva]

I’d be sick to not have to practice to get really good tech skill

200 bpm is the speed of melee imo, its like the heartbeat

Reaction time is very important but see I have a severe medical condition called stupidity that makes me incapable to react properly in situations where it would give me a big advantage or win me the game

Very nice, these are some things I will have to keep in mind for sure. Thank you Spark!

[@cr0wguitar]

Droppin that metronome tip, blew my mind!

[@ccc-q8r]

Here's my math on this from going frame by frame in training mode... By the second frame of teching, tech in place fox starts to spread his legs (vs not for other techs). About 26 frames later he gets to spot dodge. Grab takes 7 frames as sheik. So on the 18th frame after being able to react you need to be pressing z. That gives about 288ms after starting to spread his legs that you can press z. If you have a 200ms reaction time there's 5.5 frames for you to judge if it looks like tech in place or not. Those five frames are all fox upside down with this legs apart (vs together for tech in). So if you can react to it before he flips up then you can tech chase? Haven't been able to do it yet but just practicing trying to figure it out

[@michaelcastelpoggi1735]

Great advice. Love the video, you're definitely not disappointing as the new host

[@rosheafan]

My reaction time is very below average, so, uh, good thing I play Roy? I guess?

[@CeilingPanda]

My ass reaction time won't help when I cant execute for shit, I would rather love perfect techskill :P and when I would have that I would need 3 frames of reactiontime >.>

[@Athesies]

Honestly I can't see the leg split animation, (atleast not until like 10 frames into it and by then its too late.) Up until then fox's legs just look like a blur to me when he techs in place

[@r0flcopter]

Could honestly be your monitor. To be 100% honest, I (kira) have a lot of trouble doing it online, but on CRT it's much easier

[@Athesies]

@@r0flcopter hmm maybe you're right in a way, personally I've never been able to pull it off on my small crt but I haven't given it my all while playing on my large 120 hz capable monitor

[@swank8508]

get a crt monitor!

[@Athesies]

@@swank8508 you mean like a really old style 4-3 desktop monitor? Look i love collecting old tech but I already own a trinitron and 2 other crts, im not sure I could justify the space and cost that monitor would take up lol

[@clipCommander101]

Ive gotten pretty good at reaction tech chase due to uncle punch, but i suck at covering missed tech because i cannot for the life of me dash back out of crouch

[@El_gobl1no]

That's a controller dependent issue. You have to work around it, play on a box style controller or get a controller that can.

Easily the green pill. Nobody is going to remember the Fox or Falco that won EVO, but everybody is going to remember the Game & Watch that got Top 5.

[@donaldmcdonald3434]

IDK man I think the opposite is true. There's only like one dope Game and Watch player and I can't even remember his name but I can list plenty of fox's and falcos.

[@mindupstation2484]

Wish there was one pill that would clone you for doubles

[@skiddzie9291]

Just so everybody knows, getting 15frames in the reaction time training in uncle punch is actually a reaction time closer to 200ms. Melee has 2 to 3 frames of input lag.

[@jennith]

funny how the “reaction speeds up by 3 frames” pill looks exactly like a 30mg vyvanse

[@guren_mk_II]

im out here with that 450ms reaction time lol

[@OkamiBGT]

Is this applicable to characters other than just Sheik and Falcon? Like can I do this or a variant of it with Marth?

[@Hyde472]

This applies to tech chasing in general, it is just that those with grabs that instantly put the enemy in a tech situation are easier to demonstrate on. (I think)

[@SSBMTutorials]

Yeah what Hyde said. You can do it with anyone. The only thing you want to watch out for is that tech chasing Sheik is potentially not reactable, but pretty much everyone else should be doable

Reaction tech chasing is impossible 😈 until I see it done consistently, (which has yet to happen in 20 years worth of this game being out) I will continue to deny the “believers” though having a damn good tech chase it obv still very achievable and beneficial.
