Kami (Samus) vs. Kaze (Marth)

[Kami-V]

Like the title says, me (Samus) vs. Kaze (Marth). We would love any critisism and advice to becoming better.

I myself made a ton of mistakes, big ones being my bomb hop mess up at ending of first life, and f-air landing at last life, both of which I rarely screw up, but it was just an off day. I also failed to do a few SWD's, which yet again, is not so often, and used more bombs than I normally do, for whatever reason.

So I'd rather you critique my play style, not my mistakes XD. As for Kaze, I'm not sure about his POV, but I think he did decent.

On a final note, I put in music becuase it was loud in my room, and too much comentary. I also appologise for some quality error's.

You use bombs interestingly in close quarters and in retreat to create space, which is nice.
More missiles.
Also make sure you always know the limits of your opponent's character. If he was Falcon or something, maybe those fsmashes after throws would have hit. But Marth is lighter and more floaty. You also shouldn't waveland as an edge-hanging recovery when Marth is standing there waiting to hit you with an fsmash, which you walked into on multiple occasion. Marth's sword is longer than anything you have besides missiles, so if you approach him with just an attack, he'll hit you first.
You coming to SFE?

If its this weekend and I can hitch a ride with someone, then maybe.

I do not know marth very well yet, as Kaze used to use fox as his main, but only recently switched (to what seems to be) Marth. Thanks for all the advice though.

 

[joshisrad]

Yeah no prob. But I'm no expert on either(though I know what I'm doing).

Hugo plays WAY defensively which doesn't seem to be your style, but in the Marth matchup I think you can benefit from it a lot.

 

[Vall3y]

marth - watch your spacing!
you were too close to him most of the time
keep yourself a bit more far away while still being close enough to apply pressure
and samus - i think you lack CC
you had some really good opportunities for a cc especially on some of math's mispaced attacks
hope that helps

 

[FoosJr]

Samus, you should use a bit more missles, you should probably use less bombs up close, and like Vall3y said use CCing some more, Also I think you could Up-B out of your sheild some more and it could be very effective.
Marth, watch the spacing, work on the edgeguard game, also you should grab a lot more. Samus is a bit harder in these situations but the f throw, f throw, f throw, f smash will still work and I didn't see you grab once(atleast that i can remember) and finally you should work on your shffling i saw you do some of it and again samus is one of the harder carachters to combo with it, but against fast fallers it works wonders. spam that fair while coming in if they're sheilding it, grab.

umm....you needamore training.

Use missiles whenever you're far away from Marth, and I'd almost suggest using fewer bombs, or at least don't rely on them to be doing damage. If you're going to use bombs, try using them as a deterrent, and plan your game on forcing your opponent to deal with your bombs. They should only be intended to connect when bombing a sheild. Otherwise, a connection with a bomb should simply be a bonus.

Also, when dthrowing floatier characters, I like to fair and nair them. It works best if they try to escape thinking you'll try an fsmash.

Uhh, yes I do. I never said I was pro, I've only been doing competative smash for 4 or 5 months now. I put this up to get advice, so, do you have any?

Thanks for the input from everyone else.

"4 to 6 months" you say? well i could tell. and still, youneedamore training

 

[joshisrad]

It should come as no surprise, Kami, that much of a given internet community will be composed of intellectual welterweights. It is unfair that we should have to put up with such people, but that's life.

 

[Rock Lobsta]

Yeah, if youre ever looking for good advice, dont ask for it in the "wow you suck at this game" center of the internet.
