[Hot_ArmS]

So im taking my 9 yr old brother to a tourney with me this saturday and he wants critiques on his marth. He wont believe me when i tell him to stop using his shieldbreaker alot or sweetspot the ledge on his recovery. He says if other ppl say it other than me he'd believe it >.> anyways hes very good imo for his age so here are the vids (im falco btw) theres one more match in pokemon stadium where he beat me but youtube wont let me upload videos right now

he's pretty good, better than my 8 year old brother cuz atleast he dodge rolls and he even wavedashs. He should really really short hop more tho. He seems to only do it when charging the Neutral B attack but even then its probably accident because he would do it more frequently if it was intentional.

so yea, he should definitely get short hopping down.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

yeah he can short hop and knows the advantages of it, dunno why he played differently though he usually short hops his nair and fairs more

 

[JPOBS]

in that case im impressed. My brother doesnt short hop no matter how much i tell him the advantages of it. *sigh* little kids think they know it all sometimes.

well yea your bro isnt too shabby.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

haha yeah he didnt start short hopping until i played marth and owned him with short hopped fairs and nairs so maybe you should do the same lol, he still cant grasp l cancelling though :/

 

[JPOBS]

lol L cancelling is the easiest advanced technique but my bro cant catch it either.

good luck at your tourny anyway.

Tell him that charging the shieldbreaker is a NO unless it's for edgeguarding.

Shieldbreaker on the stage is good once in a while for mindgames, but it's better used off the sage, or not at all. Fsmash is a lot better.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

yeah ive got new vids with him not using the shieldbraker on stage

 

[xLordCJx]

It looks like he doesn't really have a plan of attack when he goes in to the fray.

Tell him he should work on reading his opponents movements and where he is on the field, and then use that to decide the best approach possible.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

well i think thats partly why he beats me most of the time because he doesnt have a "plan" so i have no clue what hes gonna do next compared to me which he knows how i play so he beats me

Goodness, He's dogone good.

Teach him how to u-tilt too, I saw a few u-smashes and idk if he was trying to u-tilt.

 

[MARIOWNAGE]

No (age) johns

 

[Hot_ArmS]

@elran- yeah some of them were by accident but i just taught him how to utilt when his opponents are on the platforms and such
