Main - Ice Climbers
Im from La Serena, Chile
In what areas do you want to improve on: I want learn more of my character, general tips, ways to get good grabs, how to read my oponent, and i think that's all
Questions?... which is the best way to approach Snake and Rob, my worst match ups.
Unfortunately, my videos are online matches, but that videos represent my game against that chars.

Entendido. Entiendo perfectamente como ayudarte, y te explicare de forma propia una vez vea tu video! Te pido paciencia hasta manana de momento, eres el siguiente en la lista!
I posted this morning on the thread @ the MK boards. But just in case, I'll post here too to subscribe the thread.
Just watched the first and second Coaching Sessions and I really like what you're doing and how you're doing it!
Awesome job man :D
Gracias por el apoyo! Despues de Ztag, viene tu turno
, Estate pendiente del stream de manana!
Who do you main? Fox
Where are you from? Germany
In what areas do you want to improve on? I want to know if I left some things unpunished, if there is room for me to punish some annoying things of MK at all (fair/dtilt wall, etc) and if there are other options that might be better to choose from
Any questions you'd like answered? nono
Recent videos? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_eVAONm73Q
oh, my YT is Wusi Alder and my twitch is Enemysnack
So you just want the video critique for now, correct? You're third in the list, so make sure to watch your video critique tommorow!
Already did that.
Marth
Woodstock, GA, US
All around. I think I'm fairly well rounded, but I come up short in most areas when it comes to tourneys
Why does my location matter?
I don't have any videos, save some from Brawl Minus which aren't really worth much, but I could probably get some up within... soon. A couple weeks at most.
Understood! So, since I don't have anywhere to see where you stand at, I'll give you some general improvement tips!
This is a practice regimen that if you follow, you will see HUGE results over the time. It's like going to the gym. You won't see results right away, but you will see them with the time.
So this is a 5 day per week 2 hour work out. Here's the work out, explained why, at the bottom you'll see the work out summarized.
1)Technical skill, Zoning and Spacing
Marth is a very demanding character in the hand coordination department, so you need to be on point to shine with him. First of all, watch Mr R's and Mikeneko's marth. You can find a lot of their matches on YouTube. After you've done this, go to VS mode, and copy Mr R's
way of performing his attacks, and the things he does, and then copy Mikeneko's way to position himself before attacking. Copy all of this perfectly while facing a LVL 3 Snake CPU's. Do this for 30 minutes before playing online or vs people, and then for 30 minutes after playing. Consistency is key. This is like growing muscles, pretty much. I do this every day with no exceptions.
2) Mental aspect & Habits
Now, remember those videos you've watched? Watch them again, but now with a different look. Analyze the reasoning and thought process of the player you're watching. Why is X doing Z move? Is it because of this reason, or that reason? What's the goal behind this move? Did he accomplish such goal? Did he execute properly his plan? Could he do something better in this scenario that accomplishes the goal he or she had with that decision? This will improve your mental side extremely. I do this a lot before tournies, and I did it everyday back in the day to get my skills to where they're at right now.
3) Match ups & Player styles
Play online! Go to Allisbrawl.com and enroll in the ladder. Then proceed to play people. This is to learn match ups and player styles. Which you absolutely need for tournaments. Do this for 30 minutes.
With all of this, you cover: technicall skill, spacing, match ups and mental aspects. Pretty much everything you need for tournaments.
This is the schedule: 5 times a week - 30 minutes of CPU practice, 30 minutes of online practice, 30 minutes of CPU practice and finish it off with 30 minutes of CPU practice. Make sure to drink a lot of water while doing this to keep you energized and productive while doing it. Can't think or play dry!
Wall teching & Powershielding: Go to Snake's stage in training mode and put green shells. Then proceed to hit it and practice techning it. Since you have two buildings next to you, you will always hit something that you can tech, no matter what. Do this for 10-15 minutes everyday! Works out great. You can also practice PS'ing the green shells for powershielding. This is a tip that Salem gave to me and I pass into you :D
If you have any further questions, or you can send me a video from you playing or need help then feel free to contact me again!
Hello! I subscribed to everything with the same name is this, MEOW1337KITTEH.
I am a Mr. Game and Watch main, with R.O.B. as a secondary from Phoenix, Arizona.
The area that I find the most trouble with is consistency, mostly due to a lack of being able to keep a lead and/or land a kill move (often making me fish hopelessly)
I can't think of any specific questions as of now, but I will have many to come in the future!
Here are all the most recent videos that I have, the first one (vs. Falco) is tournament, the others are friendlies that were played the same day (in a more serious matter):
I know just exactly how to help you, but I need to study your matches to give you proper coaching. I ask you for patience until your turn comes for tommorow's stream! Stay tuned!
I suscribed to the yt channels and I followed the twitch channels
Who do you main? Meta Knight
Where are you from? Netherlands
In what areas do you want to improve on? I want to become a better player in general and basics and I want to improve in some mu's I don't understand well. like ZSS, Pikachu and Olimar
Any questions you'd like answered? Does the coaching only work though this thread?
Recent videos? Soon I will have a recent one
For the basics, read my descriptions of spacing, tech skill and the work out regimen I gave to Mr Z. All of this will help you tremendously with the basics, especially the work out!
For match ups: For Olimar watch my video explaining the Olimar MU, I cover every aspect!

For Pikachu and ZSS, here are some general tips for both:
ZSS: ZSS is a character where you need to understand her two big weaknesses: She's linear, since he relies on hitting you with D-Smash, Side B and U-Airs. If you can prevent all of them, or most of them you will win. She can't grab out of shield, which means that if you properly hit her shield and back out, she can only hope for dropping shield (7 frames) plus dash attack works, and most of the time, it wont.
After knowing that, here are some general tips:
1) Edeguard ZSS the way I do:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3q9PR1ELQU
2) Bait D-Smash from a distance, or react to it when she does it spontaneously and then proceed to SH tornado her head.
3)Grabbing her works very well, since she can't hit you at mid range. She can only hit you at long (side B) close (Jab), and that's it. If you stay at mid range, she's forced to shield or dash attack you. Which both are easily grabbed or shielded.
4) If you run and shield at her, she can't do anything to you but hope her super slow grab works. Abuse this to shield attacks and punish her!
5)Once you condition her to your shield game, proceed to shield, and then full hop Down air while moving bacwards to beat grabs or anything she tries in the ground. Works wonderfully!
6) Never air dodge into her. Always glide away (care of Side B, FH U-Air) and then drop down on the stage, or land away from her while doing an attack, such as F-Air, B-Air or tornado (best options).
Pikachu:
You have to understand that Pikachu relies on grabbing you to do damage. So by all means, don't get grabbed early on.
1) Treat him like Wario and GW together. Wall him out with F-Airs (His SH Down air) and D-Tilts (dashing at you) to stop him from rushing you.
2) Implement a lot of dash grab in your game. Pikachu relies on shielding your attack to get his grabs in. After a couple attacks, just go an dash grab him! It works out very well, especially after D-Tilting at mid range, since he'll think you do another one.
3) Never air dodge into Pikachu. That's how he gets his U-Smash/F-Smashes kills.
4) You can't really edgeguard him. So simply stay near the ledge and prevent him from getting back to ground of the stage (Cover the ledge, like you can see me in my MK Ditto videos).
5) Pikachu's like to spot dodge to punish you with grabs. So make sure to do a lot of multi hits to hit both run attempts and spot dodges. D-Tilts into F-Tilts work wonderfully for this.
Good luck!
