Speaking of the crouch tech chase, when I was playing with Squid and Ginger recently at Saving Mr. Lombardi they advised me that reacting with shield was infeasible due to which frames the different options would become distinguishable from each other and said simply learning/practicing the...

Your opponent may hold up in order to air release which lets them double jump iirc.

Re: Playing worse players I used to be pretty big into BroodWar and Day9 did a lot of excellent podcasts for it. One of them is about why playing worse players is good, and you can find a transcript of it here...

I recommend you read The Art of Learning for this. The chapters "Building Your Trigger" and "Bringing It All Together" are particularly helpful for this specific aspect that you've mentioned. Here is a relevant excerpt from the book:

Not really a question but I do want to thank and give props to @delaysb for putting in the time and taking the initiative to lab out/research stuff he wanted to learn. More people (myself included ofc) should do that.

Do you have any book recommendations? Recently I've been reading a lot during my breaks at work and I've gone through The Inner Game of Tennis, The Art of Learning, and The Power of Now. I'm also currently working on "How Champions Think" by Dr. Robert Rotella.

Instead of just answering your question I'm going to ask you some questions for you to think about. - What are you doing when Fox decides to use running shine on you? - How does Fox approach you when he tries to hit you with running shine? (how close is he, how does he try to run at you, etc) -...

You can't dash attack oos. You can only grab, roll/spotdodge/shield drop, or do stuff that involves jumping (wd, aerial, jc usmash).

Yeah basically if you are so focused on the mechanics of your play (dashdance this, threaten here, fastfall that) then how can you expect to pick up on patterns and concepts so easily ingame? Skills are a pyramid that you have to build off of -- you can't properly fight someone unless you know...

It doesn't lose to double jab. If they don't input another move, jab isn't safe on shield so they get shield grabbed. If they do input another jab, you do get jabbed but you asdi down and grab them for jabbing you because jab isn't safe on asdi down either.

i'm pretty sure you can cc grab anyone who jabs your shield

Yes. It's all about how Marth's hurtboxes look when he's doing stuff (as you've observed). https://smashboards.com/threads/kadanos-perfect-marth-class-advanced-frame-data-application.337035/page-22

I am not Kadano nor am I sure you're not trolling but I'll give you a serious response anyway There are lots of applications to knowing frame data or melee mechanics. You may not be able to distinguish individual frames with your eyes but since melee runs at 60 fps knowing how long things take...

MLG NOLA tho??

check the pinned post oh wait
