Confessions of a lousy smash player!

[4% APR]

I'm bad against techy-foxes.

 

[Zantetsu]

I hardly even use my head when I play this game. I only use my head in SSB64. I don't predict as much as I should and I often start thinking of other things. I mostly just focus on tech skill because that's the only reason I play melee. I just love doing flashy things.

No wonder I fail in tournaments :3

 

[Lovage]

foxes who know how to run on platforms really well and space bairs

so lucky ***** me

 

[Strong Badam]

i'm bad .

 

[Mike G]

Trying to fully un-retire

 

[Filthee]

im truly awful at shine combos and it is starting to freak me out.

i main falco

 

[derfleurer]

It goes as I practice, but I pay more attention to what i'm doing than what i'm going to do. p=

 

[TheManaLord]

not playing at all lol xD

 

[TresChikon]

I don't mash out of grabs.

 

[Siglemic]

Lack of motivation.

Johns detected

 

[derfleurer]

Johns detected

If that's what you call a john, your head should explode from reading the chat topic. =p

 

[Pi]

Unorthodox players who play super aggressive have given me great problems in the past.
But I think I'm past that now.

 

[keeper]

It often takes me a stock to realize what to do, and then I get stressed and try to make up for it.

It's worked for me though. If I get up a stock, I tend to lose it really fast.

 

[cykofox]

unintentional sandbaggage i ****in hate it

 

[Siglemic]

unintentional sandbaggage i ****in hate it

I do it too. In order to play to win I have to keep telling myself to win, or have a huge grudge against the person i'm playing that day

 

[Europhoria]

not playing enough

 

[TresChikon]

Not playing Shiek/Falco/Marth.

 

[ru5514n]

Not practicing with anyone for a long time.

 

[Nø Ca$h]

i suck at spacing fairs.

i main marth.

 

[I.B]

getting frustrated and playing worse vs peach (even bad ones)

very inconsistent w/ sweetspotting the edge when recovering

bad choice of moves in certain situations

 

[Siglemic]

**** why does everyone suck vs peach

she is not that great

 

[I.B]

i dunno. it seems like you gotta switch up your game more so vs. her than other characters

 

[TresChikon]

D-smash is a one-size-fits-all punishment for your mistakes. That's why.

 

[I.B]

that and dash attack... I feel soooo noob when I get hit by them.

 

[TresChikon]

Well at least she can't combo. Fox's dash attack - > anything his heart desires.

On topic:

I can't find a good doubles partner.

That and... I don't know how to play Falco. You're suppose to use those red lines that people don't seem to like right?

 

[Jonas]

Can't chaingrab Fox (Marth).
And also my spacing sucks (yes I am really terrible at this game).

oh and I play about 10 times worse with C. Falcon than I do with Bowser -___-

 

[Stratford]

When I play as Marth I only use fair. I can't stop.

 

[1048576]

I don't use the c-stick, so I can't do retreating fairs.

 

[Mr.Fakeman]

I get killed alot/suicide trying to be technical with Fox, I can't even SHDL properly too *sigh*

 

[bolt.]

I get freaked out when playing better smashers unless I'm listening to music.

 

[TK1991]

I don't even use half of my rest opportunities because I'm scared of missing and getting killed.

Like "bolt." i need to listen to music or i get really upset if i lose often ... hence i get even worse.

 

[Kantō]

momentum canceling and DI'ing correctly at the same time is prolly my biggest problem that needs work.

 

[Byron 1337]

I don't use the c-stick, so I can't do retreating fairs.

You don't need to use the c-stick to do retreating fairs. You just have to get better timing.

 

[Foy]

Smoking meth is my weakness. Got da jitters during matches.

 

[derfleurer]

Yeah, you can do the backward jump by pressing away and x/y at (practically) the same time. After which it's no different than a regular shffl (you'll pretty much get the same amount of time to do it). I'm guessing you already do shorthop upairs with the joystick, so tilt as gently and the fair shouldn't throw off your backward momentum.

 

[battousai555]

I suck at doubles. It feels so chaotic and I have trouble helping my teammate

I'm terrible at the light-shield edgehog. I think I've done it like once or twice ever.

I screw around a lot. If I'm up a stock or so I try to kill my opponent a certain way. I think to myself "I'm going to win this with a shine-bair," and then keep missing them.

I also get intimidated by people who I know are really good. I miss DI, flub techs, etc.

 

[Minnty]

I'm bad against foxes who are faster than me.

 

[Glitchy]

Horrible DI.
No training partner.

That's the first things that came to my mind.

EDIT: Really bad chaingrabbing.

 

[unknown522]

- I have more trouble against characters with all around more range than me. It takes a bit longer to get used to.

- SDing when I have a bad controller

- Being camped by marth's DD game and ledge stuff (I can just go falco and the problem is magically solved).

- Peach too.

- Falco's laser (but everyone seems to have problems with that).

 

[St. Viers]

I'm bad at counterpicking stages, being most comfortable w/ the neutrals. (I'm picking up a few, at last)

I don't SDI
