Ah, 8wayrun. I didn't know they did Smash tourneys. Anyways, thanks for the replays again. While I did watch both of the matches you just posted, I will mainly focus on the Sonic match although some of my critiques will apply to both.@ The_Cardinal
im posting this match for you.. i lost horribly. Need to learn the sonic MU and definitely should've used firewall & speed thunder. Not my best play but now i'm for sure going to need feedback/critique on how to handle certain situations. Going to place better than top 10 (9th to be exact) in tournaments! REFLET NEEDS A BUFF IN RUNNING SPEED.

first map was chosen randomly... 100% in sonic's favor having no walk offs. I know i played terribly, i am just looking on how to improve in this MU.
Ok, first and foremost I see your buddy doing falling FAirs... it worked at times but there's no auto cancel window so the lag can be punishable. Continuing with the falling aerial he's attacked on shield multiple times. He has conditioned you to shield when he comes down for an attack... he should have mixed up and Nosferatu. Another mixup being tomahawk-grab. Grab beats shield. From this change up alone, his approaches would be unpredictable.
Two matches with the aforementioned Hukster that I introduced to the social, Robin isn't his main but some pointers would be nice so I can pass it on to him.
Oh, half of these are from the matches I critiqued. Very nice.Edited a little mixclip

I hope you enjoy it at least for the music xDD
How do I make the thumbnail appear in the post and not only the link description?

You make those wavebounced Arcfires seem effortless. How are you handling the inputs for them?if any of you are in the skype chat, you've prob saw this already.. but here's my latest match post patch.

ah sorry about the placement of the thread then,For future reference, there's a video thread where criticism is often given. You're better off posting future videos there. @ Raziek , merge these two posts there?
As for your Robin, it's good, but two things from me.
-Elwind spikes are generally safer than Levin spikes.
-Not a single down throw--->Wind Jab? Everyone's going nuts over that. You should use it.
How do I handle them? To be concrete the button inputs are side b, then immediately flick left stick the opposite direction. I've been really good at doing neutral b reverse since 3ds days so having a GC controller made the side b reverse/wavebounce a ton easier.You make those wavebounced Arcfires seem effortless.

Oh it's not that bad! I mean, it only crashed on me 3 times and I lost all my work, no biggie.With this kind of montages, its better just to show the "cool bit" rather than the match before hand as such. For example, that link clip at the beginning could have been shortened way earlier, it kind of felt like I was sitting around waiting for something cool to happen. The editing was good, I just noticed that you said you did it in windows movie maker, which is pretty impressive considering how **** that program is lol.
As for free editing software..hmm you might be out of luck. Unless you uh..obtain something like vegas or premier...somewhere...slightly illegal
Ugh I can't believe I forgot about that thread, next video I upload i'll make sure to put it in there, Thanks!There's actually a Robin Video thread which is where you ought to have posted this but I'm no moderator. Nice comeback in that Robin ditto. Would've like to have seen the whole thing instead of bits and pieces of matches. Too much Dair in your game but to each their own
Edit: Editing seemed fine to me.
Thanks for the video. I think you already know what your main problem was. You said it yourself; you were too obsessed with edgeguarding to the point where your neutral suffered (but I won't go further since you said not to comment on it) and you often just spaced your nairs and elwinds incorrectly offstage. You often went offstage too early in anticipation as opposed to reading or reacting where your opponent wants to go. The only time you correctly spaced an offstage edguard was actually at 1:08, but by that point you were going offstage so often that it was super obvious and easy for your opponent to react to. You also sometime did not choose the right move for the situation. For example, at 2:05 Elwind would have been better to use.Hey !
I have a little problem with my Robin : I'm not able to edgeguard. I wonder why, I don't know what I should do and what I shouldn't, I am literally lost about edgeguarding.
So I have a request for you : could you, please, tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it ? Here's a match against a Captain Falcon where I failed to edgeguard him a tons of times.
Take in consideration that this video doesn't reflect my real level ; I was obsessed with the idea to edgeguard him so I constantly wanted to send him off the stage. It was voluntary. So please just comment my edgeguarding game and not my neutral game or something else !
And I did 3 matchs with that Falcon, and I never managed to edgeguard him even once.
Thank you and I hope you'll be able to help me !
It's good to hear you're getting some mileage of the new Youtube feature especially since I actually hear it is quite flawed but that's a discussion for another day. Again, overall solid play although it did seem you were somewhat unfamiliar with the Zelda match-up at first. I mainly have 2 things to say this time around.http://youtu.be/MDaM_cSHbW4
posting more matches because of the easy to use, new YouTube feature.
I'm just so disappointed in my performance. I've been struggling with depression issues as of late, and this was not helpful in getting out of the rut.Thanks for the video.

You were also too obsessed with offstage edgegaurding. I saw no attempts to edgeguard onstage such as a simple arcfire to the edge or a ledge trump. I also saw no attempts at baiting an airdodge offstage as well.
Overall, you were just suffering from tunnel vision. Take that away and and add in being more aware of different possibilities for edgeguard will probably help your edgeguarding game a lot. Hopes this helps.
I'm not sure why you quoted me since those comments were meant for someone else. Having said that, I just finished watching your Robin match with Diddy a few times so I can now offer you some comments on top of the ones you just made yourself.I'm just so disappointed in my performance. I've been struggling with depression issues as of late, and this was not helpful in getting out of the rut.
I trained my Doggy so much against pre-patch Diddy, I should have know better to just calm down and wait for him to choose an option to correctly punish. Usually I would try to bait a monkey flip, so I should have applied pressure, like you mentioned. If they flip, it's an u-air or drop down, turn around Thunder punish, and if he dropped, free Elwinds.
I won't john, I did get beat. But I'm more so just so... down on myself that I lost to someone who wasn't really doing much... he had a bad rolling into smashes habit, and his approaches were very obvious. I just crumpled like bad origami...
My bad. =X I saw a notification and my brain made a dumb connection. Sorry.I'm not sure why you quoted me since those comments were meant for someone else.

Gotta watch out for your landing. You full hopped a few too many times and while full hop in it of itself is not bad, your opponent was able to punish your landing often with a banana or sometime. Since you played on Town and City, you could have used Elwind to platforms more to escape the juggles and land more easily. In fact, the one time you attempted that, it worked.
You also didn't really attempt any offstage edgeguard letting your opponent get back for free. At the same time, you opted to charge instead of pressing the advantage which, again, allowed your opponent to get back for free.
I suspect you know this already but you didn't play all that bad the first stock until well, the sd. From that point on, it was pretty evident your mental focus took a hit and your started playing on tilt ever since. Admittedly, I don't really know how to tell you to not feel frustrated since it's perfectly understandable why you would feel that way, but it is something that seems to affect your gameplay, especially given your prior comments. The only thing I can say is that, if you decide to post more videos, I'll do my best to provide feedback.
