Okay, these vids are primarily for entertainment, but I'm wondering how my Wolf does or doesn't reflect the current "metagame" for Wolf.

So yeah, discuss away lol.

FINALLY :O

K, watched them all. You definitely have more of a predicting game over a reacting game. I feel like reacting quicker would've saved you some damage/stocks and granted you some better punishing opportunities (in vid1, death by mortar/c4 and spotdodging after snake bairs your shield right before landing, just a few examples), but your prediction led to a lot of shielded jab > utilts and the like (very good thing). You scarred a bit unsafely as well (moreso in the beginning), I feel... and a lot of your grabs didn't connect, leaving you open for punishment (another part of what I feel is a result of emphasis on prediction). You seem to have a very strong inclination towards grabbing whenever possible, and while it's a good option it seemed a bit dominant. You might want to consider mixing it up more (for exaple, lots of bair > walk > grab, my thought is expecting a dash or dashattack, idk didn't seem as effective as it could've been to me but you used it a lot).

Vid 6, get *****.

Vid 1, first stock vs snake, you should've definitely waited around and grabbed him out of his upB. Definitely (same for beginning of vid 5, 2nd attempt). And then bair **** him offstage after he blows himself up Seriously though, dair (especially at that low of a %) is far from the best idea... in vid 2 you took him from 34 to 102 by avoiding unnecessary dairs, that's the way you should almost always go. I like how you're playing overall besides that though, just gotta watch out for that nair, shine it or sdi it or something x_x Also, unexpected walljumps suck.

Good things: Nice application of usmash OoS overall ;D and also good job with dsmash, you seem to land it a lot more than I do... your punishing of landing lag at low %s got better throughout the games (especially landing bairs), and you're good with getting those dsmashes off of landings. You also learned from your mistakes throughout the matches, which is always a good thing (safer scarring, better landing punishes, etc). Honestly though, your snake friend needs better DI... he's falling straight into a charged dsmash and gets sent near horizontal, that should not be happening.

That snake was lolzy. And Ish I hope I'm the first one to recieve a warning from you ^_^. I feel so honored.

 

[ArcPoint]

Lolzy...I guess you could say that.

Before smash he played Street Fighter, and is currently a top player in the pokemon card game (D/P I think it is? [would probably explain the tag lol])

So yeah, he's smart...he just hasn't gotten used to every single Brawl mechanic there is.

 

[Seagull Joe]

Lol. Ish edited my post. Yay. He is abusing his powers. :D. And cool beans Arcy.

@Ish.

Yeah, WiFi has affected my game a TON more than I had originally thought. All of my ledge punishes were early, before his invincibility ran out. Grabs were obviously a problem, I was misjudging a LOT for some reason (grabs in particular, but Fsmash, Dsmash, roll distances et cetera) And I could have done a ton of crap on reaction. Although, a lot of times I would try to PS stuff...and then fail lol. Ftilt was one of those things. I could never seem to PS it.

Also something that I think I either have never noticed, or it was just an old habit that resurfaced, but I spotdodged a TON when I was getting hit by jabs/ftilt/utilt. Overall, spotdodging that close is a horrible idea, and he ***** me for it. I dunno why that was so much of a habit, or why I couldn't stop it.

I dunno why I don't shine out of Nair, I was trying to in the match I got two stocked (hence down DI) it just doesn't occur to me to shine (I'm more inclined towards Up B for some reason [marth]).

Uhm...yeah, I definitely need to pay attention more. That was something I really felt that I needed to do better, was simply pay attention better. I was always talking during my match, explaining a few mechanics to him, or just laughing about inside jokes.
