Hello everyone. I've been smashing for a while with my friends, and we smash a lot. Lately, I've noticed that my smashing skills have gone down compared to my buddies, which causes problems in 2v2 games, because I seem to let my team down a lot. I usually face a combination of Sheik-Samus or Sheik-Fox in 2v2. I usually play as Doc.
When I fight Fox, I constantly get smashed around a lot. For example, when I am descending from being juggled, I try to pull a down-a, but when I land, he simply up-smashes me to death. He also heavily spams the forward smash move, and I don't know how to approach him. The same goes for my friend's sheik game, who spams forward smash a lot, and likes to do his forward-a whenever I'm recovering from the edge, totally screwing me over. Basically, I can't find any ways to approach them easily without facing the risk of a smahs attack.
I've read a lot about the various techniques such as wavedashing, etc, but I cannot seem to pull these moves off consistantly during battle (although I can do them in practice versus a CPU). My current approaches as doc basically consists of an attempt at a short hop sex kick, rushing in, grabbing + downthrow + uptilt followup, or pillspam jumping in. Finally, at low percentages, I crouch cancel and spam the down smash move a lot to counter. I realize the back-aeriel move is powerful, but I can't seem to use it to edgeguard effectively without committing suicide. What's a doc to do?
