    Official Master's Dojo - Greninja Matchup Thread

    The more I play :4sonic: the more manageable it becomes. I've been grinding the matchup for a little while against aggressive and campy sonics and I think it's still 45:55. Aggressive sonic is a bit easier to deal with but having a character who is actually faster than us isn't fun. Side b can...

    :4cloud:I think 50:50 for cloud is fair. I've always felt comfortable against clouds, but I don't feel very comfortable approaching with nair compared to other characters. The neutral seems a bit interesting, it can be hard sometimes to get around his nair and what not. He has better frame data...

    Could you elaborate on why?

    Battling yourself- mindset/mind related issues thread

    Sounds like you have trouble getting combo'd, it's important to never force anything. If you are under pressure, don't try to force an attack or do something to get out of the combos. Of course there are some guaranteed ones, but it's important to not mash air dodge, mash attacks to escape, or...

    Battling yourself- mindset/mind related issues thread

    Yeah I have tried to get into that mindset of learning from my losses, and I am able to do that and have a great time, but when I lose because I get nervous and scared, and choke, it's not really my play that hurt me as much, but more importantly my mind, which greatly affected my play. In...

    Battling yourself- mindset/mind related issues thread

    I'll start things off with my issue, I personally struggle with choking. In serious sets, I will sometimes get in a bad mindset and say to myself, "There's a chance I could lose, I'm gonna be so upset if I lose." It's more evident if I'm versing a player I know I'm better than, because I hate...

    Battling yourself- mindset/mind related issues thread

    If you're like me, you have come across a lot of frustration and get in situations where you are fighting yourself just as much as you are fighting the player. Whether it's: - getting scared/nervous mid match/choking - getting really mad from losing - getting over zealous for damage or...

    So recently I have been trying the side b cancel thing on ZSS's up b, and it has been working some of the time. I find it beneficial to DI like you would regularly but also mash b to try and get a side b out too, it has saved my life a decent amount. Just thought I'd share that.

    Sup guys. I was thinking of picking up a secondary recently, but decided to just forget it. I wanted one to cover bad mus and stuff, not because I have been struggling against them really, but I was just thinking to myself "what would it be like if I just had another character to use". I tried...

    We might need a straw poll for :4fox:, because frankly I don't know if it's 55:45 or 60:40, either one sounds reasonable. Marcina is probably just a slight 55:45 for us I agree with FullMoon for :4miibrawl: and :4falco:, and I still don't have enough experience for :4miisword:,:4miigun:, or...

    Last time I played @KERO he was actually timing f smash to punish regular get up. It was working, though it takes practice and he said you kinda gotta learn the timing for characters. I usually just charge shurikens and hope for the best, doesn't always work. Sometimes I think it's best to...

    Yeah he's not fun with input lag. If connection is good it's fine for me since I pretty much can only practice online but bad connection or even just lag spikes can mess up his gameplay

    Yeah if the fair hits shield you can't really get any punish besides OoS jab. I'm saying that if they're predictable with their fair approaches and bait it you can get a spaced fair, or a fast nair. It's just a bit more rewarding than shielding and jabbing out of it.
