So im trying to get better with fox and their is two things i just cant seem to do.

1. I cant do those nair combos i see everyone do that push people off FD

2. I cant SHDL =/ (i jump with X and i know i should jump with Y) i also practice for hours on techskill and i still cant do it =/

1. shffl nairs so that the nair comes out the moment you're off the ground (try using z instead of A), and fast fall asap.
2. it's all about pressing b quickly enough after jump. it's also not that necessary.

It's good that you practice your tech skill, but it means nothing if you don't have mindgames (technics<mindgames)
Don't focus on techs when you play just...play. Those things come when they come don't worry.

SHDL is very hard with X. I shorthop with X, because i can't seem to do it with Y, but recently, I've learnt to SHDL with Up and I also get a shine inbetween each one, so it looks awesome. So I suggest trying it that way, just for practise until you get the hang of it.

When I SHDL I use X and slide my thumb quickly over to b, the only suggestion I have is to practice it.

He has mindgames. He's a good player, just doesn't play fox.
With the nairs, you can try Z altho i don't use it. as for SHDL, you can try doing with two hands but you gotta be really careful with it if you do that. You just gotta keep practicing, you only get 4 frames after the SH.

this means nothing. "mindgames" in this context means nothing. You've got to play intelligently, and not make mistakes, while simultaneously play to your opponent's weaknesses and adapt to cover your own. You've gotta have tourney experience to get the mental side under control, of which you have none. No johns. you live like 10 min from where we host our biweeklies.

I really need tournament experience.
