@Dr Peepee Good bye king. I'm sure everyone who ever browsed this thread will miss your presence here. I strongly cherish every piece of advice you've given me and I've got binders on binders of printed out notes from our discussions on this thread. I consider you my main melee teacher purely...

Great post, I needed this so badly. "A tangential answer to this is that I am very clearly not done with Melee. I still have goals I want to achieve, such as wanting to play well in tournament since becoming a top player, which has proved elusive for me." This issue plagues me constantly...

Yes I assume that problem has to be dealt with separately. @Dr Peepee https://youtu.be/3aHB44B944k?t=150 Do you think you should do this full hop bair if you’re too late to actually hit his landing and it connects with shield instead? Should you do something else if you know you’re late and...

Oh wow that's neat because recently I've been trying to get over my anxiety before matches by being more accepting and stoic with losses when they happen. I figured that I wouldn't get so incredibly anxious if I didn't get very upset after losing in the first place. To me, those things sound...

what should I be doing after marth lands a jab on me? For example if I do approaching laser > nair and he jabs me before the nair comes out, sometimes the marths will do approaching nair and hit my dash back but also sometimes they do run up grab after the jab. Should I be looking out for them...

why do you generally not want to shield as falco? I was wondering this the other day watching mang0 as he shields during aggressive plays unlike you as I almost never see you shield with falco unless you have to. Do you think you should shield more versus marth than other characters on average...

@Dr Peepee What are the good options to edgeguard a puff who's dipped below the stage and is trying to jump and grab the ledge? How do you use grab ledge and normal get up here to eat her options? i'm thinking DAFT / dsmash to read the jump timing for onstage edgeguard and grab ledge time a...

"Anyway if you shot lower/farther away it could help and your idea is fine. You could mix that with a bit of DD and dash FH over him to take top platform since it's DL, and this could work okay on BF too. " how would shooting further away help here? Is it just so that he can't get as good of a...

I think that Z PS is pre-emptive at close range (after approaching laser). I don't know the specific frame data or anything but it doesn't seem possible to react to the animation of them getting a powershield when there isn't that 3-5 frames of travel time at a medium / long range. On top of...

@Dr Peepee 1) I still struggle quite a bit with players who do stand still (wait) > powershield I'm having troubles both with players who do it after taking lasers and after landing lag. What do you think the potential counters are to take laser > wait > react to laser with ps? I'm thinking...

\ How should lasers be used in the samus match up? Sometimes the risk of getting powershield wavedash dsmashed seems too great compared to the control I get from lasering alot, as samus players often don't move forward and aggress if they're not being lasered anyways. It feels as though samus...

@Dr Peepee https://youtu.be/OuWzuAh8nfM?t=71 https://youtu.be/OuWzuAh8nfM?t=26 How come you do this dash sh shine double jump away approach in the above clips rather than doing delayed aerial shine pressure vs ice climbers? If he was faster with his full hop up air wouldn't it hit you...

How does one play with a strategy that revolves around not getting grabbed by marth when he's cornered? Assuming you have marth cornered and are at a rolls length away, some of the benefits you gain from this position are: a) ability to attack because he can't move backwards b) keep him in the...

@Dr Peepee [Once you discourage Sheik to stop running in she has to start jumping.] how do you discourage shiek to stop running in? I mainly use dash in delayed nair to force them to shield while they're running in what else? Laser doesn't seem to work because shieks often spam run in >...

@Dr Peepee do you think if a falco is very good at juggling peach then doing lots of upthrows is fine? What about puff? Even if a falco is good at juggling should he still be prioritiznig hard outplays to land aerials?
