When you're walling falcon out at longer ranges, do you generally mix up jump timings and react to their jump with the nair/fair, or do you wait for them to jump before jumping yourself? With mid ranges are you forced to jump pre-emptively since it's not reactable to jump after they do?

How do you maximize your practice when you feel low on energy? I recently started working full time and practice sometimes feels like just going through the motions. It's hard to keep intent in mind and especially hard to practice tech chasing like this.

When a falcon is winning air to air nair battles does this mean I'm too late reacting to their jump? Some falcons I play against my nair almost always wins but I've recently played with one whose nair always seemed to trade 1st hits or outright beat mine. Some other explanations I can think of...

How do you like to handle the situation where someone is just sitting there crouching, daring you to touch them so they can cc grab/dash grab/dtilt(or something similar)? I struggle most with this against marth, but also falcons, sheiks, and to a lesser extent, foxes utilize this to get openings...

After analyzing vods(usually around .75x or .5x speed), do you find it helpful to rewatch them in real-time just so you're used to the full speed visual cues?

How do you extend early percent punishes vs falcons who get the slide di to edge on techchases? The obvious solution is to throw them away from the edge unless you're right up next to it where you can set up a gimp mixup, but whenever I try to bthrow or dthrow techchase I'm a lot more prone to...

FH nair can be decent at higher percents, but you also have the issue if you're slightly late and they just hold down and cc first hit and get their shield up. Try watching zain cover top plat on fountain or yoshi's since they're either the same height or really close.

An option that I have found works pretty nicely for edgeguarding is to grab ledge to discourage the dj to ledge, then just normal get up and dtilt their up-b. Depending on spacing and percent, you might still get hit but you should still be able to asdi down dtilt again, unless you're at too...

The reason why marth killer is not very good in the ditto is because a large majority of the time, if marth is forced to up-b to recover, it is much easier to stand at the ledge and dtilt or fsmash. When edgeguarding marth, the main concern is how to scare him from DJ to ledge sweetspot. You can...

Hey PP, I have a question regarding getting punished hard. I've talked to other players about how a strong punish can influence neutral because it makes the other player afraid of that option. I definitely feel like that happened to me here. Kind of related is how I dropped many punishes due to...

This past weekend was TBH8 and I was planning on just enjoying the arcade games and friendlies as I worked check in desk. Turns out Juggleguy entered me as I was one of the main staff there and I thought why not play? After 2 rounds, including a close call with a fellow Michigan falco who I've...

Hey everyone, I recently attended a local where I had my best performance to date, taking out 2 ex-pr players, a sheik friend who I struggled with in the past, and luigi that I trade sets with. Big thanks to Kotastic(and by extension PP) as your post on how you figured things out regarding focus...

Hey PP. I recently played a set against an old school ex-pr/about to pr'd next season again sheik who's really good vs. marths, and I have a few questions, mostly pertaining to juggling as I do really poorly hitting sheik, even after I bait out DJs. Also holy moly does analysis take a lot of...

If he jabs after you jab you can ASDI down grab right? Also maybe your DAs are a little bit undershot since it seems they just barely miss in all those clips.

So I was watching zain vs. jerry randomly and I noticed that at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y-eGKFtK2I#t=19m18s, zain does a dash attack, which should have comboed into dair, but for some reason the dash attack pulled back slightly at the end, causing Zain to misspace his aerial. Earlier...
