Hey PP! Is this intentional; where you space outside of jab and grab it? Pros/cons on doing this? https://youtu.be/fAzrOnPvstU?t=275 Also, I'm looking for book tips, in the style of Inner Game and Art of Learning. Or any book on how to get into your kind of meditation.

Hey PP! Whenever I get a grab on Fox/Falco/Sheik they like to DI my upthrow to the top platform and tech in place. I seem to have a real hard time dealing with this, as I usually drop my punishes here, or they feel really abysmal. What tends to happen is that they get their shield up before I...

What's your opinion on performance-enhancing beverages or snacks, such as energy drinks or effervescent tablets, both when competing and when practicing? Many top players seem to stick to the H2O, but Armada amongst others happily pops a Monster before a set. Do you know of anyone going hardcore...

Hey PP. I'm researching how to play better when having Falco on the ledge (mainly, but also Fox, I guess their ledge dashes are kinda similar?). Basically, I want to know how to position myself to cover as many options as possible. Crouching pretty close to the ledge (about in the middle of...

If we forget about M2K: What about Sheik is more consistent? Is it mainly more forgiving punish game (i.e ability to finish off stocks)?

So fairly recently, M2K did a video explaining that he picked up Sheik for consistency. (The video is about how he wish he had picked up Puff instead but that's besides the point.) That makes me wonder why he finds Marth inconsistent. M2K really loves his Sheik for some matchups, but would he be...

Hey PP! How do you feel about Sheik in general as a character, and especially vs Marth? I reckon you don't really enjoy playing Sheik yourself because of her limited neutral game? I might be totally off here but to me it feels like Sheik is the kind of character that works better in practice...

Hey PP! Any insight on playing neutral game vs Jigglypuff? I feel like Fair is really good generally, but gets punished really hard when misspaced. Playing around Bair is my biggest problem it seems. Would you try to wait and punish her Bair-walling or would you go more aggressive? Also, are you...

I've been having trouble with a situation against a Sheik (I think this applies to more characters); the situation being me trying to get up and back on stage from hanging on the ledge. The Sheik is patiently crouching close to the edge, doing no attempts of punishing my ledge camping (i.e...

Hey PP. Life has been handing me quite a mouthful and I don't have as much time to put into Melee, which in itself is bumming me out a little. However, I'm not giving up and is trying to schedule my days so I can get at least 2 hours of constructive practice daily. How would you spend these...

Do you have a list of rules for Marth, like "never do this"-kind of things? Havn't heard of before , is there anywhere I can read that?

Yeah, I think it's all starting to make sense! So you mean that in the chaos of a regular game, the "true neutral" game where TR is in play is rarer? I've just started to internalize this concept, but I already feel like I have a better understanding of where to space myself around the...

Thanks for the reply PP! One thing I want to clarify that might have been implicitly understood: What is the fundamental reason to have a good understanding of the TR? Is it to be able to move in and out of it, seeing how the opponent reacts to threats and thus being able to find the best ways...

Okay, so I've been kind of intrigued lately by the concept of threatening range, and want to make it less of an abstract idea in my mind and something I can apply more concretely. So to begin with, "Threatening range is the space where you are safe from the immediate longest + quickest threat...

I'm at a point where formulating a written gameplan for each high tier matchup seems like a good idea, but what exactly constitutes a gameplan? How much in detail can you go? Do you have any examples of a gameplan that's more specific than just "know the matchup"? Also, speaking of knowing...
