  • Mr Dr PeePee Senpai Sir, should I try to learn as much as I can when I practice or should I try to focus on specific portions of my game. I'm trying to figure out how best to balance time vs no one compared to time versus human players and I'm confused on how I can most efficiently use my time
    Hi PP,
    I am a Falco main and I've gotten into the habit of doing a dair off the edge and its made me predictable when recovering. I catch myself doing this and try to do any option other than dair, but my opponent always seems to expect that too. Any suggestions on what ledge options should be done more often than others? Also, do you think that ledge dashing is crucial with falco? Thanks and good luck this year!
    Hi PP, due to some things in my life, I currently cannot go to tournaments, but I still want to improve. I only have an hour a night to play, so I plan to focus on general tech, movement, and desyncs. During the day, I have time to study VODs of mid level ICs, and read (currently the art of learning). Is there anything else I haven't considered that I could be doing to improve without going to tournaments?
    Hi PP. I'd like to ask you a very short request. Last week I graduated from Med School and I'm searching the 5-gods' blessing for it... in video form hahaha. So far I've got Armada, M2K and Mango's congrats from their streams. So the request is if I could get a video shout-out as simple as it could be just saying congrats for graduating, thanks!

    Thanks a lot =3 I just got Hbox's shoutout from his stream, so yours is the only one in text form I guess hahaha. I hope you get better and you know we (your fans) are always here for you =D I main Marth/Falco so you can have an idea who is my main inspiration for playing haha. Take care =)
    Come back to the Falco board we need your expertise on the psychological effects of lasering that we're discussing
    Wow just found out you're into Kingdom Hearts, you were already my all time favorite melee player but now you're my favorite video game player ever, but on a more melee related note I'mm new to Smash Boards as a whole and i was wondering if you knew where i should go to find guides on playing Falco, I'm assuming that you have some guides as well since you are pretty damn good at the bird :)
    Hello, I am a Freshman in college and I recently have been given the opportunity to write a research paper on a specific sub culture. I, of course, jumped at the opportunity to talk about smash. One of the requirements is we have to conduct interviews with members of the sub culture. I was wondering if I might be able to interview you as part of the assignment.

    The interview would be a format of your choice, whether through a text-based question and answer or a video chat/call. The questions would revolve around your opinion and experience with the community and culture. I also may ask you about your personal connection to Smash and why you started playing competitively. Please message me if this seems like something you would be interested in doing!

    Also, I hope your health improves soon. I can't wait to see you play again!
    Hello PP! I have a question that I think you would be good at answering. I was wondering how exactly do you break bad habits and reinforce good ones? This is something I have been struggling with. As well how do you develop good habits? I have a lot of ideas on paper that I have a hard time reinforcing into my play.
    Just wanted to send you some fan-mail. Really respect you as a person and player. You seem to communicate a lot more with other smashers than other top players which is super cool. I pray for the best for your health and hope you will return soon, but don't rush yourself. Also, coincidentally I play Marth and Falco as well!
    Ask a ppmd fan I would like to respectfully ask when is your next stream and can you make a video to update us about how you are ; also I would like to know whats happed with your health since you last make a video I hope your feeling better
    what are some ways you practice/prepare when there is no one around to practice against? also, when practicing mixups and mindgames, would you say those could also be practiced solo or that it's important to learn those things through experience?

    I have the same problem i can not find anyone to play with or against how do i work around this.
    Also, how can I play confidently vs players I'm scared of (either they're much better, I'm scared of getting upset by them, or the match is on steam/important for other reasons)?
    Hi PP! Mentality question:

    The Inner Game of Tennis discourages positive thinking because it's important to remain objective while playing. However, I've heard how having a positive attitude can be very helpful for improvement. How do you balance the two?
    Hey PPMD! I have been trying to develop a playstyle based on yours but in Smash 4 (with a character with a similar toolkit to Marth,) . So Ive been trying to apply the “ Ppmd rules” which are
    1) Less is more
    2 )Jump when they jump
    3 ) Throw them up and kill them

    What I do not understand is when is the right moment to actually GO for hits? Could you give examples as to when throwing a hitbox is a good idea?

    I'm not PP but I'd say you want to throw out a safe hitbox if they aren't respecting the space you control or if they are cornered and you can force them into shielding.
    Hey PP! I've been playing for about a year now, yet I still do pretty bad at locals. My biggest problem is getting into my own head. I know I can do better, because when I went to EGLX in Toronto, I had a good attitude and did well. But I can't manage to find that mentality again at locals. Do you have any tips to avoid feeling frustrated or sad?
    Yo PP just heard of the Evo news. It's sad that you can't go, but health always comes first! Hope you get better soon dude!
    Hey again PP! What would a good work ethic be like to get to the top quickly like leffen did? i know that with hard work i can do it. Right now my training is: https://goo.gl/IOcpWj (sorry for making you to through a link. But 420 character limit :/) Is this a good regimen? Is it too lackluster? Anything i could improve upon and anything you recommend? my main is fox if that matters
    When I watch streams or match analysis I notice how the commentators are aware of every move each player is doing. I can't seem to do that I would have to rewind the match to see what just happened . This sounds to me like a focus problem or something similar. So what can I do to be more aware of what going on or does that just take experience and your eyes adjusting to the speed?

    slow down videos and take everything in. try to understand. the more you see and learn the faster youll process
    You play Marth,Falco, AND Fox. How do players like you and Mango not get the 4,5,6 frame jump squat timings not mixed up for wavedashes. Is it just years of practice? I play falco for a few days then as soon as I play fox my falco wavedashes get messed up and I have to start over.
    Dr Peepee
    Dr Peepee
    It's just lots and lots of practice haha
    Hello again PP! I didn't respond to your last responses cause I don't know how to respond to a response lol.

    Why do you do aerials as Marth in neutral? I've always read that it's a bad thing. (and that jumping with Marth in neutral is just bad in general) You're a top player so you know how to use it correctly, but how do you use it correctly?

    Aerials can be used for zoning ( I not PPMD but thats why I aerial with marth)
    Dr Peepee
    Dr Peepee
    jump from farther away or at least enough to outspace their move. try not to drift in
    Hey PP, have you come up with any tech traps/gimping with forward/backthrow with falco?

    I'm not too sure if he has any effective ones unlike marth, who can throw spacies at around 40% or 50% on a platform and delay up-tilt/uair just before the spacie lands

    For gimps, forward tilts (downwards) and forward smashes seem common, but there might be more options. Maybe shine shall -> jump bair could be good vs illusions
    Dr Peepee
    Dr Peepee
    I have a few things but they're not refined. For edgeguards you can react to their DI and if they go away don't do an attack and instead intercept. You can also do stuff that counters waiting after doing the fsmash/ftilt some like runoff shine dair or grab edge into something similar. dont have it mapped out well yet
    One stream i was watching Armada and he was talking about how he taught leffen a lot about reaction punish game do you have anything info about this topic. Like what is reaction punishes. It sounds self explanatory but I don't know for sure
    Dr Peepee
    Dr Peepee
    reaction punishes are like tech chases or juggles or setting up good situations that you can look for a couple options and respond to quickly.
