Hey I liked the first match. The two characters you guys play are ones that I play (Doc and Young Link), so I can critique both.

Loki - I like the use of Sex kicks. Most people tend to spam fairs for no apparent reason, but you have a good start on approach.

YL Player - Pretty good technical skill and very good use of WD - sex kick edge hog.

The first match was very good. I think you should focus on more SHFFLs, though. I don't recall seeing a single Bair. Nair is very good to approach with. A little more pill spam would be good. Just practice.

As for the second match I saw a lot more you could've done better. Again, a little more SHFFLing would be nice. I also think you use the cape a little too lax. Don't spam it so much. Next, when you go on the offensive, try to be more aggressive. I notice you get up to him but hesitate in your movement. Keep the attacks and pressure rolling. Also, go on the defense more often and spam your pills. Not only does it offer recooperation time but you can also rack in some extra damage and put the pressure on. Also, when you wave land off the platforms, try to come out of them with an attack. One last thing, more jab combos.

Well I have to say that my idea about your doc is that its pretty suck =D....Cause I beat it all the time....Zero's Luigi/Falco Ftw?...But here is what I believe honestly.

1. More SHFFL'ing
2. Distance yourself more with spacing
3. Pressure the other player (I know this because....I pwn you each week)
4. Stop attempting to use other characters to beat me.... (FALCO LOL)
5. Use BAIR riding more
6. You attempt to use your cape to edge hog way to much, when you could have come down there and bair my face...

Thank You

The first match was pretty good. You are a good doc player. The only two things that really popped out at me was

1. More SHFFL's
2. at 1:20 you missed the wavelanding which ended up raising your % quite a bit.

~You used dash attack to a point where it was really predictable.
~You play too slow
~ don't use grounded pills

Most of them are pretty easy to fix but really just try to speed up your game. IT was VERy slow. good work though.

Hmm, i would say try to speed it up a little. Your on the ground a little to much. Also try to use your aerials a little more. To many times you were a little predictable with dash attacks, so try do reduce the amount of them you do. You seem to be repeating some attacks to much, when you could gain more out of other attacks. Look at the situation differently to see which attacks would be more effective. Try to be a little more aggressive while your going out for attacks while at the same time being unpredictable.
Other then that you played pretty good.
Some other tips would be to try to pick up SHFFLing a bit more, and just add shield grabbing.

I'm gonna be the one to critique the grabs? :/

Granted there weren't many on your part, you could have done better combos out of them.

At lower percents try UThrow SHFFL'd UAir > FSmash.
At higher percents DThrow UAir combos~
