How did you go about teaching yourself to love practice and analysis, rather than seeing them as things that you just kind of have to do? Hope you’re well dude <3

What do you mean by "going under or behind" here? Trying to take the ledge?

Is double posting acceptable in this scenario lol? How would you deal with a Fox who’s willing to take a lead, and then just infinite firestall until I go into the corner? On YS this feels almost impossible to beat because of the range of Fox’s LD threats, but maybe there’s some spacing I can...

Lmaoooo I appreciate that. This helped, I realize I was respecting it too much when she wasn’t showing me she’d throw it out, but by bullying her in that space I’m getting a better sense of the rhythm between conditioning her into the DA and out of it now.

When Marth and Peach are DDing around one another at WD Dtilt range, how do you actually make the Peach feel threatened? I find it difficult to make a conservative Peach do anything punishable from this position, and they can often react when I preemptively break TR with WD or dash in to poke...

https://youtu.be/mdP_CrvtDjc?t=643 What do you think about Zain's positioning before he jumps in this clip? It seems like if he had been a little closer, the Fair arc could have covered Hungrybox doing this little fadeback, which might have encouraged Puff to jump instead. However, being closer...

When spacies shorten their SideBs, what exactly are the adjustments Marth has to make to hit the edgeguard? (I understand the obvious, like having to use double Jab, but it feels like there’s a timing element that I don’t quite understand.)

What exactly do you mean when you describe success as “dangerous” here? I think that’s an interesting way to put it, but I’m wondering if I understand what you’re getting at correctly. Come to think of it, do you have any book recommendations on this topic?

I recently had to play a set against my brother in which I completely lost my cool and just forfeited in the middle of a game because I couldn't handle the competitive pressure. While I've been struggling with a problem with winning for years, I had never actually gone so far as to forfeit a set...

How do you recommend dealing with Fox’s defensive FH (when they tend to jump in place or back and mix DJ/no DJ) if you’re not going to read it? I don’t really know where to move as he’s coming down—would tipper Dtilt range be best? What do you consider the advantages of jumping at mid range...

I've had a problem with closing things out for a long time, but it's recently gotten dramatically worse. The problem isn't unique to Melee, but it's a very obvious expression of it. I will often be in a situation where I'm up 2 or 3 stocks to 1 (or just came back from a similar deficit) and just...

That confusion you mentioned is interesting. I've been experiencing something similar lately, but I hadn't thought of it as generally increased sensitivity. I've made a lot of progress in terms of mindfulness and self-honesty the past few months, but it occurred to me recently that I was...

I watched your Metagame response this morning. You mentioned having put a lot of thought into how to use sensitivity for making yourself into a stronger competitor/person, instead of allowing it to be a point of weakness. I’m not sure if your thoughts on the matter are ready to be shared yet...

I have this situation that gives me trouble against Puff: when she's recovering and I zone her away from the ledge with aerials/Jab, she'll generally start FFing into me with Nair to get back to stage aggressively. I have trouble beating this because I can't jump without getting hit by the...

Actually I’m not sure what I meant lol. But to try keeping it simple, if he mixes FHing at me and FHing to the top platform, I have to pick one to cover, right? So what would I generally be looking to do in each case? I guess assuming I’m at the tipper Fair spacing we discussed. See, I can set...
