My bad habit is not being consistent, I tend to be off sometimes and it also takes a while for me to warm up, so I have to play a lot of friendlies before a tournament starts for me to be playing my best during real matches. I'm also kinda predictable, but I'm getting better at changing that.

I tend to freak out too much and lose my concentration. That, and my mind and my hands move at two very different paces. I think my head is still wired to Melee, so my sword swings always barely miss, and other timing issues still plague me now and again.

When I want to do something, I focus too much on accomplishing that one task and it detracts from the rest of my game.

For example, if I'm looking to get an uair > utilt combo, I may miss an opportunity to get some easy damage because I'm so focused on getting that combo.

That bothers me too, kind of like when I'm absolutely set on getting the F-throw to F-smash combo, no matter how much damage I take trying to achieve it.

My bad habit is that i tend to try and edgeguard excessively no matter who i'm against because that's where i get most of my kills, so i do horrible against R.O.B's and well, i haven't fought any awesome MK's offline yet but i'm sure it'd be about the same.

I STILL have a bad habit of causing people to quit Brawl after playing them in a set.

Tried working on it all day today, but to no avail.

Lol Neo I won't copy you.

My problem with Marth is I can't always choose my moments correctly, yet I have to be airtight in my spacing until I can find my moment (for some matchups that spacing vaires, of course) to attack.

Eh I don't think so lol.

I mean it's not like I purged all almost all existence of my Marth on my Youtube channel.

I'll quit using him in tourneys but I'll still work on him. Heck, Steel says he's has a Marth 2.0 in the works that is pretty good at pressing B as well as other things. He says he's going to test drive it on me. ^_^

I have poor spacing and I spam smash attacks. I also don't know the timing for grab release fair on MK and I roll and spotdodge impulsively.

I don't remember the last time I used shield breaker effectively. I am giving up shield breaker for Lent.
