Posted these in the Winning Steak Cinemas thread, but thought better to make a separate thread for critiquing. What do you guys think I can improve on?

 

[Sagen du Smash]

Amazing Sonic! Defensive, knows when to approach and when to stay back. Your Sonic at this moment is easily as good as my Sonic if not better in some cases.

That's a terrible thing to say. His Sonic's decent.

hmmm... do you know how to spinshot?

 

[Sagen du Smash]

Yeah I know how to spinshot. I was saying his Sonic is really REALLY good. Loved the second round against MK.

yeah. stop talking.

is that directed to me? if so yes.

Sure didnt show it much. learn to apply it.

 

[Camalange]

Easy now CiTH.

Your Sonic isn't that bad, but there's definitley room for potential. I'd get specific, but I don't have a lot of time right now...but the fact that no one mentioned this is bothering me.

TECH GaW'S DTHROW! It's so easy...just hit shield man. Timing isn't too dificult either.

Maybe I'll do a more in depth overview tommorow. I see potential though, but it's going to take some time and a lot of hard work. You game?

Oh, and nice YOU'RE TOO SLOW mindgames, lol

EDIT: Oh, and CiTH...I saw spinshot. Even a successful spinshot > bair. You should've eaten that up man.

In all honesty messiah...that cuttr guy is meh...congrats on the win but...he's meh, lol.

 

[Boxob.]

I didn't watch any videos, but I'm going to make some comments anyway and see afterward if they apply.

You could really work on speeding up your game. Throw in some shield canceled SideB's. They're great for mindages.
Space your bairs better, a well spaced bair can go through just about anything.
Fair's really good, use it.
You use Fsmash a lot, when most of the time they see it coming.
Gimp more.

Do I win?

 

[messiahfreak2000]

Thanks for the feedback fellas. And yes Camalange, I am definitely game. Improving on my Sonic is my single goal. Get into specifics when you find time (if you even want to )

I could have spinshot more but I was trying to playing it safe. GW can wreck Sonic, especially in the air so many ways. I tried sticking to a more ground game, more grabs. cutter's GW is similar to how I expected him to play (having played A2ZOMG on AiB ladder).

Though I must say, the homing attack finish on meta was lulz.

(don't you always win Boxob? )

This. Even if you don't use it a lot, you should practice to make it effective (only one of all the times you used SS was used properly).

One of the things you should implement in your game are SDP and more Fair/Bair instead of FSmash. Mix your approaches more. You like ASC a lot, so mix it up (jump more out of it, SDCharge on air and cancel it on floor, etc...).

As Calamange said. Tech G&W's dthrow isn't difficult.

The G&W isn't a revelation, but pass... And tell him to quit playing MK, is so terrible with him that I almost... Nevermind. Bad MK...

Of course.

And messiahfreak, you are not doing tons of things wrong. Just hear the advices, practice them and apply the stuff, Live & learn, Open your heart and eat steak everyday...

 

[messiahfreak2000]

I actually wasn't aware that GW's dthrow was techable. I never bothered trying. All I knew was GW has a good tech chase game and kept that in mind. I do use SS, but those matches weren't the best examples. Regardless, I see your points.

So, less fsmash, more fair and bair, more mixup and apply SS more.

(And what the heck is SDP? I'm not familiar with that acronym).
