Had not seen that video but that is some great stuff to practice. I have seen Ken's tutorial and the marth trials video. Always looking for good solo practice material as I'm currently in the stage of getting my movement/tech down. There's a lot of stuff that I can do solo or against my training...

That is definitely an interesting take hah. Unrelated fun-fact: Monty Python and the Holy Grail was funded largely by proceeds from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Apparently they were huge Monty Python fans and would even stop recording sessions to watch the show on TV.

Awesome, all stuff I can definitely work on. And sorry about the extra post for the TL:DR, still pretty new to using the forums. ( I'm usually just a lurker hah )

Yeah I think my own mindset has a lot to do with it. I see myself start throwing out moves that I know I shouldn't be throwing out. I think maybe I just need more time playing at tournies and staying calm honestly. Been learning a lot there and we have some pretty good players. Slox is there...

Definitely things to work on in my neutral game, and yeah I know a lot of people don't use the counter in matches but I have had some decent success breaking out of combos with it. At one point someone suggested throwing out sh nairs to keep off pressure, but it seems to me that if it doesn't...

Hey guys so I've just come back from my second tournament. Lots of friendlies, loads of fun. Still getting my ass handed to me in bracket. Anyways something I've noticed is that when I play a lot of the guys there I tend to have A LOT more trouble dictating the pace of the match and keeping my...

This was super good advice. That definitely made it click. Thanks for the help brotha.

Hey man, was searching for UMaine smash and found a post by you a year or two ago. wondering what the chances are that you are still up there and would be interesting in putting some events together? I am a super senior there headed back end of August.

Hey guys. It's getting to be that time of the year when I pack up and head back to Maine again. What are the chances that we have some sort of club/group going on at UMaine? If anyone knows of anything let me know I guess, in the meantime I will be searching facebook and firstclass to see what I...

Ah, I'l keep workin on it I guess. I wasn't aware there was a timing aspect, I thought I was just straight-up not fast enough.

I use Falco as a secondary pretty often although I am not very good with him. I like the emphasis on timing with Falco as opposed to the straight speed of Fox. I use Yoshi a lot too but that ones more for lulz than anything else. Sheik is pretty easy to pick up, abuse the **** out of n-air...

When I started playing Marth I would do this way too often. My friend recently picked up Falcon though and playing him so often has made me pretty much the opposite. I now stay grounded pretty much most of the time as a defensive measure unless I am trying to combo. It makes it a lot easier to...

I am still not fast enough to do this although I have tried. Do you personally c-stick for this or do you use A?

Thanks yeah been checking out local groups on facebook. CT has small tournies in various parts of the state. Luckily it's a pretty small state so nothing is really all that far.

Hey all. New to smashboards but glad to join. Used to play melee a lot back in the day (casual though) and getting back into it. Anyways happy to see that there is still a community and hoping to get out and play! If you know of any events, groups, tourneys, scenes, etc I should be aware of...
