After spending so much time with Melee, i found out today its almost impossible to forget the old techs we used.
For example, I can still Wavedash as if I just learned it yesterday, and my Double Jump Bat Drops with Fox are sharp as a razor... albeit a very rusty razor. :D
In short, what things do you just have hammered into your skull, I bet if you experimented you'd be surprised.
My Young Link skills are as sharp as his sword. It takes me some time to get used to the jumping, but it's still good.
Some of my Fox techniques from Melee work in Brawl, and vice versa. Of course, they don't work as well as they do in Brawl.
Kirby takes some getting used to, again. I couldn't use any of my Melee Kirby techniques in Brawl, because of his changes, sadly. :'(
So yeah, some of my techniques still work. Oh, and Roy is more kickass than Marth.
I compleatly forgot my techs in melee.I used to be good with mario,but now I suck at melee.
I never learned to wavedash and never rly had to, so SHFF still works fine for me. Not that my friends use that too much either... >.>
Short Hop Fast Fall L-Cancel.....I can do it alright in Melee....still, but things don't translate between the titles. For instance, in Melee the other day, I used Ganon's >B.....let's just say it didn't do what I wanted it to....and over I went D:
My Luigi in Brawl is completely different than he was in Melee, and I've checked this.
I'd always be using Green Missile because of how useful it was to get around and hurt people at the same time, but it's so much harder to use in Brawl because Luigi accents a LOT more than he did in Melee during the attack ;-;
I only used Luigi in Melee, and I never did any of the so-intercourse ing-useful-techniques-that-take-ages-to-learn-but-once-you-do-you're-the-best-person-around,-even-if-you-sucked-prior-to-learning-this-move
things, because I only played to have fun.
I tried going back to Melee... Ganondorf feels like Sonic, and everyone falls as fast as a brick.
But my tech skills have not diminished, much... I can still wavedash like a pro, and my Mewtwo skills are untouched, and as polished as ever...........................

Lucario sucks. Mewtwo for the win.
Techs, Wavedashes, Fast Falls, etc. I got really good at those in melee. I can't seem to wavedash very well in Brawl though, but the techs and everything else is perfect!

That would be because Wavedashing is not possible in Brawl.
And no, Dragonic Reverse is not WD
I never re-adjusted to melee. I got a newcomer as a main so I don't have many strategies to go back with. However I can do general strategies perfectly.

Ya huh =0
What's Dragonic Reverse...? Sounds like an unusual name for a technique coming from the Smash Community...
Melee Falcon makes Sonic look like a turtle. And I can't SHFFL anymore...
I haven't played Melee for two years, and even so, I sucked at Melee. All I ever used was Ness, Kirby, Ice Climbers, and Marth, and pretty much did nothing well.

Nay
Is anyone gonna answer my question about Dragonic Reverse...?
Dragonic Reverse only works with Yoshi.
Because his Second jump moves him down first, if you double jump very quickly and then use a smash attack he slides.
I don;t remember all of it, Depster would know.
Ya, it's a Yoshi AT similar to melee's wavedashing. Probably one of the hardest techs in the game on account of the timing of the buttons. Basically you jump, double jump, and aerial attack, but the buttons have to be pressed before yoshi even leaves the ground, which is hard because you can't press them too fast or the game won't recognize the controls you inputted. The effect is that yoshi cancels every bit of his jump and just stays on the ground. If you tilt the control stick while trying to do this, you will slide in a wavedash-like fashion. I think it's useful, but for some odd reason most people say it's worthless. This enables things like the melee style run at someone then WD back for mindgames, it enables running downsmashes, running forwardsmashes, all that stuff, even running tilts, jabs, and specs. It also can be used like the (aaa forgot the name)-smashes, where you can slide a bit backwards and forward smash, but DR gives more slide. It's basically a mind game tactic, but also is used just to get some extra options out of a standstill or out of a dash. Wow that was long... (waits for Dawei's lol-DR-sucks :D )

Squirtle Shellshifting to Hydroplaning is cooler.

Shellshifting is 100x easier :D
I'll stick with that ;)
I didn't really know any of the fancy techniques in Melee. I tried doing them, but got bored with trying to learn them.
I sort of started from scratch when Brawl came out. Characters I was good with in Melee I stink at now, and characters I sucked(or at least thought I sucked) with I'm surprisingly good at. :P
DR has like 100 more options though and is sneakier. sides, DR gives you yoshi's DJ SA frames standing still
Okay, I'm pretty sure I've got Dragonic Reverse down pretty well...
My method? Requires Wiimote + Nunchuck!!! On your second jump, do a Shake Smash immediately after the jump (almost in conjunction with it)... I think people find it so hard because everyone goes for their blue/purple tinted GCN controllers...
I use CC and it's pretty easy with that, just slide my thumb really fast

Yeah, I thought that it was impossible in Brawl I just wasn't sure. It would be nice if you could but I think being able to air dodge more than once in one fall makes up for it.
I remember how to short hop forward A Marth spam to start combos. Much harder to do in Brawl IMO...ah well.
GOod thing I main Sonic and Snake then XD

That's awesome because Yoshi is my regular now. I need to try that!
