  • Man, This whole week has been about :

    Finally, after almost 3 years, I've fixed the damn thing. Now all I need are some decent games for it, I'm thinkin Wind Waker will be a decent play.

    Also, if you're not using this profile to troll or stroll with your homies, consider it worth your while to invest in other interests. All has been discussed to death v_v.
    Ok, so I watched the video you posted on my wall.
    Things that I'm noticing:

    1) You are playing extremely patient.

    Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is costing you a lot of missed opportunities to capitalize on the punishes you hit on Peach. Peach does not enjoy getting hit by Fox (especially at low percentages due to his u-tilt). If you hit her, you need to continue your strings or follow ups. You are basically just playing a hit and run game which is good in certain instances. For example, when you are low percentages and there is a huge risk of her comboing you if you make a mistake. This is a good time to play that patient/burst playstyle so you can lower your chances of getting hit. However, once you reach like the 30%+ area, I really would suggest following up more on Peach, especially when she's at lower percentages. Nair will work really well against a grounded Peach, short hopped dairs also do the trick (but you can't be too obvious about them).

    2) Too many shines.

    It's alright to shine here and there, but you are just doing it randomly and repeatedly. Your opponent was picking up on it quite quickly, and it cost you damage as well as a death. You shouldn't use it anymore (especially on falling turnips), unless you know that your opponent is throwing a turnip at you in a horizontal direction or it helps you obtain a better position offstage.

    3) Not enough pressure.

    You need to pressure Peach a bit more. Fox in this matchup is actually considered "campy". I admire your short burst single lasers at lower percentages, but once you hit like 30%+ and don't run the risk of eating Peach's dair, I definitely recommend doing triple lasers or just grounded repeated lasers. Peach eats them quite quickly because her airdodge is so terrible and she's mostly approaching with a float. Moreso, you forcing Peach to approach rather than Peach forcing you to approach. Addition lasers will definitely handle that properly. Another thing I want to see is more dash attacks and grabs. Your opponent was grounded a lot and was throwing out f-smashes like crazy on both of y'alls first stock. If you would have shield grabbed / pivot grabbed it could have beaten it easily.

    4) Go for more U-smashes

    Attempt to read your opponent more often. Pick up on her float habits, as we as where she positions herself during her float. Fox's up-smash destroys Peach's positioning if you know how to space it correctly. Your opponent doesn't really seem afraid of it because you aren't throwing it out enough.

    5) Abuse Peach In the Air

    You were doing a fairly good job on this, but I really want to reiterate how much it can help you in the matchup. Full hop fair covers a ton of space, and has way too much priority for Peach to counter. Her airdodge is the absolute worst in the game and she's one of the floatiest characters to boot. If she's in the air you need to keep her up there by all means possible. Spaced nairs, fairs, uairs, and bairs can all help out a ton. Try doing some feint jumps to bait an airdodge, then going up there and doing whatever. If she's landing, just read her landing with an u-tilt or a shield grab.. one of the two will definitely work because the majority of Peach mains always airdodge upon landing.

    6) Counterpicking

    Against Peach, you do not want to take her to Battlefield, Yoshi's Island, Delfino, Rainbow Cruise, or Brinstar. All of these stages allow her to land easier on the huge platforms above her or they give you a disadvantage due to her air control.

    You want to take her to Final Destination, Halberd, or Smashville. Halberd has low ceilings, so that's a given. Final Destination and Smashville have relatively no platforms for her to safely land upon which will aid you in keeping her up in the air.

    Hope this helped, send more videos my way if you want additional critique.
    hm hmm! I should get on skype sometime this weekend. Questions, ideas, it'll be a decent reminisce.
    Negro yo, don't be here.

    If you haven't discovered it already, the invis switch is in the user cp under Edit Options and Login & Privacy.
    Haha, I knew everything would pull together for you in the end :cool:

    BTW, you should check the BR community thread
    Yeah I haven't even been on AIM in like months cuz I just didn't have the time though lately I've been more relaxed for time. ^^
    Alright, cool.
    When they get uploaded give them to me... or if you can't upload them just send the replays my way.
    What's good bro, I tried listening to your rap but it won't let me 'cause I need to upgrade my Flash Player, evidently :ohwell:
    Hmm...so it seems you been away from it all as well?

    Glad we had that social group I created am I right?

    I'm thinking of getting into it for sure just before e3 hits, maybe some more people are likely to return, just maybe.

    Have you been playing anything other than Smash homie?
    Yup, gotta get back into the rhythm, but now I'm not sure if I should back into the thread, not many of the originals are there. :/
    Hehe, Valentine's Day?

    Oh ****, I totally forgot about it, it's two weeks before my B-Day, ****, gotta do something special as well, we'll homie, see ya later then.
    Well, let me tell you, it ain't gonna be bad no more, might have to troll some of these newbies to get them to straighten up. :grin:

    Anyway, that's great homie, I remember you telling me that you were with her barely a month, and now 5 months?!! Boy, does time sure fly, well buddy, all I can say is, keep doing what you are doing and if you are truly in love with her, I hope you guys can last a long time then, good luck homie, I've been through a couple myself but the girl I have now is my soul mate, I might post pictures of me and her soon.

    And wow, since when did you stopped playing and then getting back in shape, were you slacking for a bit lol...?:laugh:

    It's good to see that you are doing it big, so much that you are going out of state for tournies now? Man, ur so lucky lol...I might have to shape up for HOBO then, especially if I know ur coming. :p
    Wow, is it really that bad? I did catch some comments from both Star and Shorty saying how idiotic it had become, and that just goes to show you that I'm not the one responsible. :p

    Anyway, I've been working out, y'know hanging out with my girlfriend and spending sometime with her as well, I'm finally on my vacation from work this month so I will try to settle things down while I'm here lol.... And you? Have you improved you game yet?
