although im really skeptical, that sounds great if it works
but im skeptical because i watched a video of you from around a month ago:

1) you use db in the air once... maybe twice.
2) you play extremely recklessly. you get hit so many times because you try to "crossover" almost every time predictably.
of course, this was a month ago and things change.
i think mike's approach to marth is the best. spacing and playing safe so you don't get hit when you have a bad read is a lot more consistent style and has been getting better results.
LOL @ thinking how I play vs. my most frequent sparring partner in the comforts of my own living room = how I play in tournament.
This is a Lucario main that consistently powershields falling fair and plays safe ALL DAY EVERY MATCH and DIs out of Dancing Blade without fail EVERYTIME.
Since I don't want to time him out like this in every single match, I try to figure out new stuff, and new ways to approach a character with a stupid roll and broken safe death moves, when the opposing player knows Marth like the back of his hand. I do things that appear dumb like overusing Dair because he would FREQUENTLY Utilt everything else, so I was like "Screw it, I'll just Dair." You're looking at a match between two players who play 3 times a week or more for hours on end, and I didn't even play that good that match. Obviously I'm going to do mad bull ****. Even though I win most of the matches with Marth, it's honestly easier to beat him with Mario (and of course, MK).
This is why I normally don't have my own videos uploaded online, because they never represent anything, especially considering how many different styles of play I use, but people are quick to jump to conclusions after watching one video.
He also picked that match SPECIFICALLY because he won. He uploaded a pair of him winning, and him losing, and I told him that he could pick any two, and he said he wouldn't pick any with any SDs in them. There were at least 30 videos recorded in that session alone, so I don't know why he chose that particular one to upload. Obviously I made like 9000+ technical errors that match. (two Usmashes on a platform, seriously whiffed Dolphin Slash that I'm pretty sure I paused and started laughing IRL, etc) If you are really interested in getting a good look at how I play, I save almost every replay, and I have most of them saved to my computer, so I'll send you a bunch if you're ACTUALLY interested to see what I really play like.
It's lulzy for you to even use the term "predictable" when two people who play each other for 15+ hours a week put up a random video. Everything is dumb because we already know what we're going to do/can do/best options are, so we just do mad random stuff. Since Lucario is at disadvantage in the MU, he generally sticks to playing safe, with periodic random approaches, and I'm mainly rushing him the whole match, every match, just playing for fun, trying to be flashy and creative.
Mike Haze is undoubtedly better at this game than me. I've played him. He has better tech skill, better spacing by a bit, better reads I think, just overall better control of his character. Mine is pretty top notch, but not quite his level. Overall, I know more than him. I know more MUs, more general knowledge, etc, but he's overall better. So far, him and Neo have proven to be better, and I haven't really found anyone else, though I suspect Mr-R is more consistent than me. Randomly comparing our styles based off that video is pretty laughable though. It doesn't even accurately represent my aggression or creativeness, because it's against the player as much as it is the character.
TL:DR cause I over did it
I would not say things changed much from a month ago, but I would say you don't have an accurate measure from a month ago. In most friendlies vs people I play a lot, I play for the replay. If you really want some videos of me, I'll send you some.
but people tend to use it to make them look more flashy..This is all IMO
