Holy **** I didn't even realize this was s2j. It was great finally meeting you dude. I was that guy who approached you during round one pools. Anyway, currently on the way home from Apex talking to my carmate about possible counters to fox Nair in neutral. Reading this really makes me...

At least do it on grabs below 30-35%. Before then he CC shines everything. Pummels go a long way in covering that distance

You don't regrab a lot against Fox. It's guaranteeeeeeed and you can pummel to rack up damage

You're not patient enough in neutral. A good Sheik will wreck you for throwing out reckless nairs out of a DD like that. You were doing some really good DI'd back pivot nairs early on but you kind of forgot about it. Also you're challenging Sheik on the ledge, which is never a good idea. Space...

Dang dude, how did you not encounter any Falcons? I was trying as hard as possible to find Spacies and Shieks and all I ran into were dittos lol Heck at one point I was on an 8-inch CRT with a 5 Falcon rotation

Smuckers, did I play you? I feel like I did, I just don't remember people's tags very well. Also Orgo-somethingIcan'tremember (Orzo-something?) was in my pool and he was pretty good. I think he got tourney nerves because I did really well against him in pools but he wrecked me pretty good in...

I was watching that match that was linked and he only jumps for the stomp the instant they miss the tech, never before. Maybe it's just a timing thing?

Pivots allow you to retreat your aerials, whereas a dash turnaround will maintain your dash momentum and propel you forward. The point of pivots is to allow you to effectively place a standing aerial out of dash. It also makes your movement much harder to predict. Pivot shield will allow you to...

Yeah, shield drops are for sure a top tech skill to integrate. I was playing Gahtzu at Zenith and he was really utilizing them well. As a parallel to that note, don't forget first hit nairs as an alternative to late uair, especially against floaties. It's pretty low landing lag and hits more...

All I ever wanted to hear ;) Minor johns though, my tech skill was flubbing a bit against you. I wish you could've seen my match against Tian. I was playing sooo well Jeapieeeeeeeee! Where have you been all my life?

True, but just because it isn't done often doesn't mean that the possibility isn't there. You're putting yourself in a spot where it's possible, which is a sacrifice, however small it may be. Either way it's just semantics really.

But with that you run the risk that they WD OOS and punish your wavedash or grab you out of the air. Otherwise it wouldn't really be a bait as you wouldn't be in a position where they saw an opportunity. Of course there will be exceptions (e.g. there's no way a Bowser is going to punish that...

Also I just updated my Introduction to Mental Game, just so you know /shamelessplug

Boom, two years later and I've updated the section on pressure ;)
