I would also like to hear the answer to this.

So wouldn't that make him more likely to support you and critique Weston? Commentators point out mistakes and successes, that's the main point of their position. You just must have had a lot of them, and they were easy to see for McCain because he mains peach. Honestly, what were you...

I'm going to preface this by saying that I believe StricNYN3 has the greatest tech skill I have ever seen. I could watch him combo a lvl 1 fox for days. StricNYN3 was actually the reason I started drilling tech skill as my main avenue of improvement. But I'm just so tired of seeing Stric lose...

I agree with the rest of what you said, but just to clarify: I said it has 4 extra frames, not 4 frames total.

Another perk I just found in friendlies is that when they try to wavedash backwards to make you whiff so they can grab you, fair reaches a bit further than nair. But yea, you guys are probably right. I'm not so sure about it being all that more prone to shield grabs, though. Nair hits their...

Is it viable to approach marth/shiek with fair at mid percent? If you can get both hits, it does about 15% and pops them up as just the right follow-up height. What are the trade-offs versus nair?

Grounded Dair -> Shine only works up to ~50% on fox and falcon. Up until 50%, it should be putting them in a grounded flipping animation, essentially stunning them. After that, it starts popping them up, so it gets a lot less consistent. At that point, it's often better to follow up with an...

If you're going to play falco, your tech skill needs to be on point. So that needs a lot of work. Faster SHLs, better overall movement/control of your character, and just faster overall play is of utmost importance for being able to compete at a competitive level. Even more important than...

It does show some improvement. First of all, practicing on Great Bay is probably not the best idea; you'll never see that stage in a tournament. Definitely start working on wavedashing out of your shines so you can follow them up with aerials. Learn to space your approaching dairs/nairs so you...

Yup. I'd say that's getting bopped. But Shiz is making a lot of easily identifiable mistakes in that match. I'm sure there are a lot of merits that can be observed in his other matches that would make him worthwhile to watch. This match is just a good example of when not to try and use a...

I don't play brawl, so this might not apply. I play smash because I enjoy the spirit of competition. The technical skill and tactical wit of the players is mashed together until one emerges the victor. Also, I've been playing this game for too long to quit. It's become a part of me. Not only...

This. 1000x this.

Another thing to consider is that if you shine the top part of their character, you have more leeway to jump and hit them with an aerial.

ZDEG, I'd suggest you listen to his advice about finding other people. His wording is definitely less than ideal, but his reasoning is sound. Why do you want to improve if you have no one to play against? I know there are a decent amount of smashers in Chicago, so he's not wrong in asking you...

I'd say it's appropriate to wavedash out of almost every grounded shine. Just full/short-hopping out of your shines is all well and good when fighting computers who never DI, but humans will DI too far for you to follow-up a shine with a full/short-hopped aerial. The exception is when you're...
