    Finding new main?

    To put it simply, it isn't as easy as counterpicking two of the best characters in the game. Just outplay those fools. The close mus come in at like 51-49 statistically. Even the worst mus, which you won't come across if you're playing Puff, are realistically 80-20. Play who you want and play to...

    Finding new main?

    YL loses both but again it's just up to the players instead of the characters. Nobody has mu experience against YL so you can use that to your advantage and use him as a secondary for mus you don't feel great about. His neutral game is a bit complicated because it uses 3 different types of...

    Finding new main?

    Of course. I don't like the idea that a character matchup should ever be consider one-sided or one character "should" beat another. Statistically even the worst matchups have the more dominant character losing 20-30% of the time. The character is only as good as the player with that character.

    The only matchup that Puff loses is Fox and that one is not nearly as difficult as people say it is.

    Tier List Opinions?

    Moosehead, relax pls. This thread is called "Tier List Opinions," not "Tier List Facts." He stated how he determines tiers and said he was open for questions, and then you basically just called him a ****ty player. Yelling at somebody =/= constructive discussion.

    Tier List Opinions?

    I agree with Ace's approach to the tier list. If the tier list is based on results instead of character ability ceilings and potential, the entire tier list really just becomes a reflection and reinforcement of the current competitive meta. Theorizing character potential means the tier list can...

    Finishing out a game

    I can almost guarantee it's your mental game and you're approaching your games with an attitude that makes it harder. You might be getting nervous and choking or get stuck on something, or your opponent feels you out and plays better. But instead of changing your style, just approach the game...

    How to crouch cancel

    When you've seen approaches enough times, cc into punish becomes pretty second nature in certain situations. If you're projecting your approaches it can become pretty easy for your opponent to react with more time than you might think. The best way is to just play a lot of friendlies and focus...

    Main

    Pick who you have the most fun playing. At the lower levels the tier list isn't concrete, and any player can beat any other player of a comparable skill level. Samus is hard to learn so if you didn't commit, it isn't surprising it seemed limiting. Try Sheik. She's really easy to learn essentials...

    Tier List Opinions?

    I think the current one is pretty accurate. If anything, I think YL beats Mario and that Ganon is in the same tier as Doc, Yoshi, and Luigi instead of below. DK also has hella potential and I could see him move up a spot or two.

    Finding new main?

    An overview of her matchups can be found here. Don't treat it as scripture, but it's a starting place and should give you a quick understanding of what you'll need to attempt in different situations. Overall, Puff beats most characters pretty handily but will need to adjust options for each...

    Finding new main?

    If you're going to have issues playing faster characters, try to work on puff and peach. The others you listed all have pretty precise ground movement.

    Critique my sets again?

    The only thing I can think of is your dairs are really risky, which can play a big part in the mental game, but especially against ICs its really easy to punish just by grabbing out of shield. Your movement was super on point. There were parts where I think u-air was more optimal than bair but...
