I've been playing smash on the 3DS almost everyday now, practicing and trying to get better, but nothing is happening. Every time I play for glory I lose without fail. I struggle to even beat a level nine CPU. what am I doing wrong? Sheik is the only character I can really use, and it's still minimum. Already 50+ hours in the game and I still see little to no improvement. are there any tips or advice for getting better at the game. I'm starting to get very discouraged and want to continue, but I just get so tired of losing it gets harder to keep playing.
TL;DR All I do is lose, and I'm starting to lose hope. Please help with tips, thank you.
Smash takes a lot of practice and patience to get better in, just like any other skill out there.
Do not rush yourself to improving or you will end up getting frustrated at every twist and turn on the road of improvement. Great players aren't made the moment they pick up a controller. They earn experience, learn, practice, and pour their hearts into it.
It's gonna take so much more than 50+ hours to be good at this game or anything else might I add.
You also shouldn't go against CPUs unless it's to learn combos, certain techs, etc. Essentially you should really only go against CPUs in training mode. They will not act like real players. They won't adapt to you. They won't use certain moves to their advantages. Heck, they won't even try to do the majority of the combos or follow ups an actual player will do against you!
You want
real players.
You also have to accept the fact there's so many people out there that's going to be better than you. You need to be prepared to lose and get bodied a lot and not allow your losses to get the best of you. Losing really is just a part of the experience, you know.
Shiek definitely isn't a beginner character like
H
HYP3R
has stated, and as someone who mains Bayonetta I don't quite think she's beginner material either. A lot of people make the mistake of believing shes easy, but a lot of her combos are actually a little difficult to preform aside from her basic one. Not only that you have to be quite patient with her and not be super reckless.
She requires a bit of knowledge to use and you really need to be able to read your opponent well, plus be able to bait well.
