I will give a better critque 2morrow I promise but for right now I've seen match 2

Animal nicely played in general and here is my lil advice for now

When u grab up throw chain grab them it make life easier because if u read their di a fsmash (which I see u like doing =D I love fsmash) it could lead to a easy edge guards...I saw at one point the falco up b towards the stage from above and aimed for the stage...u tried to shine him while u were by the edge but missed because u weren't close enuff...right there would had been a good time to dsmash instead of shine...I liie the fact ur double shining good stuff I gotta do that more.....don't forget about the good ol thunder....tomorrow I will give u the beast critque....also we teamin at the next no johns????

Curse you T. Webb, that was what I was gonna say.

You should wait until about 20% or so to Uthrow CG. If you get an Uthrow and your opponent(specailly Falco) doesn't DI behind you, follow it up with a Usmash more often, and obviously Shine if they go behind you. I just had a problem with some of your edgeguarding. In particular someone like Ryan K who never ever uses an over b to recover(unless on the edge). If he has to go up with an Up-B, and it's nowhere near a Sweetspot, or he has to angle himself back to go to the edge, those are good times to Ftilt. Also, if you're on(or near) the edge and he's above aiming for a sweetspot, don't be scared to hit him with a bair. Even a weak one can suffice.

Your Fox is sick, though. I like it's style.

I use to chaingrab all the time, but i was told i should mix it up more. Maybe i should start getting back in the habit and blend them. Ya my edgeguarding was kind of weak in some spots, i played nervous truthfully lol. I like the ftilt advice on the edgeguard. T.webb good call i know what your talking about, i should dsmash more often, cant wait for your full analysis lol. It depends if my main partner Honeybadger shows up because we usually always team. But if he cant make it, which is not unrealistic, than definitely!!

Thanks BluePeachy100 =)

I would try to stay away from the forward smash edgeguard. It only really covers one option, and when falco is at high percent a bair will kill him just as easily. F-smash can be pretty **** at low percents sometimes though.

Your fox is really nice to watch. Very smooth. I think the biggest thing that you need to work on is edge guarding. You missed a bunch of easy kills that way. Once your opponent is off stage, you really should stop with "super fast aggro techskill mode", and down shift to "methodical robo gimp mode". Once you get good at covering all of your opponents recovery options, your fox will get to be really scary I think. Mostly it just comes down to watching what they are doing, and trying to anticipate how they are going to recover. This makes it possible to react much faster than you could otherwise, since you're already prepared to counter that recovery.

I still have sooooooo much more to learn about DI. Predicting where your going to get hit before you get hit helps alot though
