Step 1: Your For Glory win rate means nothing. Mine is like a 56% or something, yet I'm told I play great from people I match up with on here and other forums. Better example: Ken (Liquid's own Ken) has a 22% win rate on For GloryI really love smash bros! but honestly I'm not very good but I really want to be. I've only just got into playing the game competitively and everything that I've learnt is from what I've seen in shofu's videos. I really want to get on a professional level but I'm having a hard time getting better on my own. According to my 3ds my win rate on for glory 1v1 is 52 percent if that means anything >u<
My problem is that I don't know when i'm making mistakes and how I can correct them without someone telling me.I will tell you what my college Organic Chemistry instructor once told me:
"I am only here to serve as a guide for what you need to learn. You are the best teacher you can find."
...and he was right. When we teach ourselves how to do something and learn from the mistakes we make while doing so, we assimilate the topic at hand way better than with someone teaching you what to do.
Research on the techniques that get posted here and improve by practicing the way you play.

Bruh, sit down and watch your play and try to pick out what you're going to do. Make sure you haven't watched it a few times before hand. If you can predict anything, you're predictable.well I saved a video of me getting completely beaten is there a way for me to share it? maybe you guys will be able to tell me how to not suck so much?
Without some sort of capture device I don't think there's currently a way to just upload replays to Youtube (but I'd love to find out if there is one).Bruh, sit down and watch your play and try to pick out what you're going to do.

And then upload it on youtube and then ask people here to help you analyze it.
I don't really know who skilled players are. I would love to play against them to practice though. Although I doubt people would want to waste time playing against a bad player like myself >,<Best advice I can give based on my own experience is to find someone better than you by a noticeable difference and play them over and over again. While this method can be discouraging it will teach you more than you think and this has worked for me and many of my friends.
By playing a more skilled player you'll notice the things you're doing that aren't working and naturally push out the bad habits. It's helpful if the person you are playing against is analyzing what you're doing as the matches play out.
Sometimes it can help to play a character strong against that type of play, and then learn how to adapt that to other characters. Characters with reflectors (Fox, Falco, Palutena, Mario, Doc, ROB, Villager) are pretty good against projectile users, so maybe try using them a bit. Once you get used to that, and learn the patterns of the projectiles, try figuring out how to best dodge them as your character of choice. Going by your avatar block, you play Zamus: Use her own projectile, which is fairly quick to fire and even has some bonus stun on it. Try just jumping over the projectiles (works against all but skilled Duck Hunt and Tink players, since they can angle their shots well). Once you've cleared it, you can probably DownB onto the enemy's head to punish them (for that matter, if you're close enough to begin with, DownB might work for the dodge, too).I don't really know who skilled players are.

I have a hard time beating characters with projectiles. Mainly link, toon link, bowser jr and duck hunt. also little mac can be annoying sometimes but it depends on the player.
You could add me if you want. I'm always up for sparring. Im a pretty good player and I think playing me might help since I like to use a lot of different characters too. You can ask for any character to practice against and I'll play it. I'm a Lucina main though so you'd see me playing her a lotI don't really know who skilled players are.
