I watched that on Sunday! I think his header and Jumbo Hoop usage surprised me the most, and he was able to rack up % incredibly quickly.
He really knew how to work with Kong's windboxes (except at the end, RIP). He did a weighted header a lot of times while Will was using his Up B in super armor. So he kept doing his move, and Numbers kept dropping balls on his head. Weighted Header + Deep Breathing = GG. I really underestimated its knockback and damage. But it falls so flat -_-
You did well, however I strongly advise against using d-throw. I know it feels like it can combo into b-air but every character can easily escape it. There are some mixups you can do, which you exercised at ~4:14:25 where you punished an air dodge, but it's best to use his/her other throws. Whenever you get a grab, you should nearly always either u-throw for damage or f-throw. Both reset neutral so you can charge Sun Salutation or take a Deep Breath. B-throw is also good, but I like to keep it fresh because it can KO on the edge, which is where WFT often finds him/herself after recovering. U-throw can KO as well, especially if platforms and DB are added to the mix, and is ideally used on characters who are floaty and easily juggled, like Samus and R.O.B..
Your WFT is quite solid. I especially like the run-off reverse fair to kill, and I fully intend on stealing it.

! You play super confidently and are great with her~ You're quite clearly beyond the level of needing specific information on WFT, so here's a couple things I noticed that you might want to use against these specific characters:
EDIT: I should be the one ninja-ing people here tbhThanks for the tips Niala.
And yeah, about my jab > jab > bury game: idk if it showed in those matches but generally my strategy is to just go for the nairs/uairs early to mid %, but around 80% I pretty much always give the usmash a shot. I've experimented with the timing and found out that around 80-130%? it takes 4 seconds to break free without pressing any buttons, and if I'm playing with a person irl it doesn't take me long to catch onto their mashing habits. Basically if they dont mash at all i just wait one second and then dash > usmash and start charging, and pretty often they'll cop a charged-fully charged usmash. If they panic and start to press buttons (which happens 75% of the time) its simply a matter of releasing sooner. Its different for every player but once you get a feel for it and how people most commonly respond it becomes a really viable kill option! Especially if you can time it according to your opponent's mashing. obvs doesnt work online haha.
i guess its not as reliable an option since it essentially is a read but the window for error is small and its totally safe and can result in a KO if timed right so i just go for it
also, whats rtac?
I want to watch this so bad, but as a sound engineer, desynchs are like poison. ):
A lot of really solid stuff from you in these clips. Things like using only uncharged SS's from a distance to zone so you don't risk getting a full charge powershielded. Going for reverse ftilt as a punish. Double projectiles against Robin to make her camping with her inferior micro charge useless. Lots of good SH header use to zone out(don't forget they make great landing traps too). Going offstage a decent amount.
I actually fought against TKBreezy not too long ago, using the custom header shots. Not only did he call it "bad tech," but he spent the next 10 minutes explaining why to his streamers repeatedly. I wonder if he knows about the Header guide in these forums.
I don't really have any opinions on what you did wrong, but an interesting wft tech that I believe will help you is that you can shorthop and immediately input side b twice for no ending lag on header =)
Congrats on your first tournament!

My fights against Little Mac goes a lot like the first match in that video.
It's what I would use.
MU thread is here for any advice you need rather than critique on your video, but in general you want to stay low when little mac is trying to rush you down and force him to play footsies with you. Keep in mind that SS cancels into shield so it's a move that has to be respected. Bait out commitments and punish by putting him in the air. SH header landing traps and sh fair wreak havok here as Mac can't do much about them. Keep him in the air as often as possible and continuously push him towards the blastzone. Strategy is simple, but you do have to respect his ground game.
I think you did admirably against Olimar, and Dabuz's Olimar to boot. Thank god for Weighted Header.
sets from Spring Fighter tournament, uploaded 4/12.///vs Vinnie /, it is some the sickest Smash 4 play I've ever seen. They're so equal and each match averages a minute. THE SPEED.
vs Komatsu
Can't really blame the custom for player mistakes. We're all still getting used to customs so it's not exactly uncommon for things to go awry while we're getting polished up. This is why you'll see more Crescent Slash Lucina/Marths and Jumbo Hoops WTFs SDing compared to characters with worse recoveries. It'll get better, trust me.
Yeesh. Watching the Kirby MU is painful without weighted. Very nice finish. I'd always thought enriched was better for this mu, but it looks like sweeping looks like it can garner some usage too~FitGreenRanger
