Alaska huh? That's pretty cool. ^^

Ok so I watched your match. Nice nair to waveshine on Peach. But remember, at higher percents using nair to waveshine is risky, especially on Peach. At low percents that approach is fine. But at higher percents I'd aim for more SHFFL dairs to waveshine. Dairs are better to use againt Peach because she can't crouch cancel them in downsmashes. You have excellent shine spiking.

You really need to switch up your recovery. You used your fox illusion a little too much and it cost you a stock.

That's all I have to say really. I'm sure others will have more tips for ya.

Good work though. ^^

Be wary with lasers on such a small stage, since you'll tack on 2 damage and they might get a death combo on you before you even land.

Also, that Alaska quality sucks.

And on the final kill, you were close enough to the wall to walljump firefox recover without touching peach, which could have been safer (hard to tell how far down you guys were).

dunno if anyone else noticed this but your techs were very predictable.

generally when someone doesnt di and attacks they tech in place, or vice versa if they do. try to pull out some mindgames on your opponents, DIing plus tech in place is useful, as well as not DI and tech away from centre. these two work well in my opinion. Keep mixing it up and keep em guessing.

About what you said to the nair to waveshine at higher percents, nairing as an approach is fine, you just can't follow with a waveshine. Instead what I do is 2 or 3 consecutive nairs (this is around 40-70%) and usually you can end it with a shinespike off the stage, a usmash or a uair. Its pretty **** fresh.

Oh and thanks for the feedback guys... I know the quality is ****.. blame my horrible laptop with 1.67ghz

Screw that :p

nair combo from 0 to 90, then shinespike. Ultimate strategy, never fails.
