#1 Teams Fan

I recently reached 10 years of participation in the Melee community. It's been a liminal space that has made me feel safe, valued, and connected. We owe it to all smashers, past, present, and future, to continue to cultivate our community in this fashion. 10 more years!

@HUEBERT47 to learn to execute while there mind is occupied with other things. It's a tough question you ask, good luck!

@HUEBERT47 Your mind is full of other things. There are ways to practice focus that could work for this one. If it's dealing with multiple thoughts in a real match environment, this is also a muscle you can train. I knew a smasher who practiced chain grabbing while they sang, as an example

what do you guys do when your main problem is execution ill be in a winning spot and drop something and lose for it constantly

@SmashPastor Congrats old friend!

Getting married in 13 days, got like 18% of the guests there for specifically me, I could not give less of a fuck. I'm marrying my soulmate, if they cared, they'd be there. Obviously within reason lol

@LostLeeno Happy Sunday, I tried something like this too, but unfortunately it gets awkward vs crouchers. Can I recommend using charge 5h stuff instead to force stand? It works basically the same, but you have to use Ahri 2m to plug the gap for akali's 5h to connect.

#2XKO_AKALI #2XKO_AHRI Mix idea

Btw, this doesn't work well on crouches, so I have actually been doing the charge 5h stuff, think it's just better

For those coming to this now, Yata posted a similar version and ends in smoke. Also seems pretty neat.

#2XKO_AKALI & #2XKO_AHRI Not going to record all of the variations of this, but you should be able to see the multiple mixups here. For the last bit, you can get Akali to hit same side instead of crossup if you time the double jump later.

@Za_Phantom_ Thanks for the combo and the splainer 🙏

@JHSnacks you have to delay the j.s2 slightly and let her drift in under yasuo, helps a lot if don't delay the j.L coming up, input that string as fast as possible then delay the spin itself. it's finnicky and a little inconsistent

#2xko_akali 540 corner solo with limit strike, 0 bars

@iMeteox @xmarkusx92 @Ephi_BL Howdy, just wanted to add, you can cancel the first j.m hit with a j.h (which doesn't come out) so you land sooner.

@xmarkusx92 @Ephi_BL If you time it just right, you can get the second hit to not come out, as Akali touches the ground before the animation can fully follow-up, on block and hit. Labbed just now to make sure! So maybe there's a mix there, but it may be fuzziable.

5 minutes after posting I found it... Akali unreactable high/low mix! might have to play her now 😂 #2xko_akali

@Yatagarasuwuwu Thanks, I'm in the same spot where it's a loosey-goosey RPS. 😅

@JHSnacks You can crossup in about 13 frames allegedly, so you could just go for a 2l vs crossup 2l, though the crossup 2l might be interactable. Nothing super awesome quite yet, could just throw kunai and call it a day, try to stall for ur freestyle, dunno yet

String that sandwhiches and lets ahri go into minecraft mode near gaplessly, then gives akali plus frames to do whatever she wants to do (idk yet). Plus 16 after smoke. Only interaction point is cold star TP, but if you win that interaction you got it cif. #2xko_akali #2xko_ahri

Hey if you're looking at this there's a corner to corner that I think is just better. This might have some use so I'll leave it up.

#2XKO_AKALI Found a mid-screen limit strike combo that does 437. Afterwards, it appears a jab frame kill auto-times roll chase, just have to react and throw.

Been ending #2XKO_AKALI combos with corner slump. Been doing S2 -> S1 super here for now. Holding forward to walk puts Akali in position to throw both rolls. No recording yet because I think there's something better to be found, guessing on getup attack or not is fine I guess.

There are a lot of variations of this mixup. One of the hardest ones to get is in the final mixup, Ahri can jump straight up and then air dash j2l - jm as a crossup and steal the corner at the end.

Sorry for the audio, didn't realize it'd record my second monitor stream. S/Os to Supernoon and Leffen lol

@Play2XKO Any more detail on how ranked progression has been adjusted?

issues addressed in the latest patch: -illaoi assist tentacles now work as intended -ranked reenabled -ranked progression has been adjusted - in order to ensure we're placing players fairly, we've made the call to reset everyone's ranks. we know this is frustrating and it's not something we plan to do often, thanks for your patience while we continue to make improvements console players: please fully close and re-open 2XKO before loading back into the lobby

@OniKoyo585 @Play2XKO I'm on PC and can't get in casuals either 😅

@Play2XKO Can’t even get into casuals on ps5

we're going to take ranked down over the weekend while we work on fixing some game impacting bugs, in the meantime casual lobby will be open to run some sets.
