I eat capfal recoveries. I don't see how it's hard, and I suck. Even when playing people better than me--must be and EC thing =P

Regarding sheiks grab. She has options to cover everything you do, but they are different for each thing, so mix them up. If you don't DI, she can Upsmash you. If you DI slightly back, she can b-air, turn around fair you (but I think that clashes w/ your n-air if you throw one out). If you DI ahead, she can regrab, f-tilt, lotsa stuff.

I find the best thing is to DI slightly forward, take an f-tilt, and then get away (ASDI+DI the tilt). After that, just n-air or d-air or something if she keeps following up. If they get into expecting me to DI forward, I just don't DI and I n-air. It trades w/ every option except the upsmash. Or could just not get grabbed. It's not like you should be in a place where she can needle->grab anyways, and that's how most of her grabs should be landing.
So much work just to avoid getting comboed further by priority... This is why Marth and Falcon are the next two on the tough list.

Last stock lulz:

Criticism is welcome, but for some things (spamming Mario's fsmash like hell one match), it was because we were doin' friendlies, and I was trying stupid **** out to see what works. Same goes for Ferdi.

BUT GO AHEAD AND SAY WHATEVER!

You're friends marth is kinda ... meh, so it's hard to give any "advice". Your doc looks good, just work on some of that spacing. And I saw you trying to tornado to get out of Marth's utilt/uair ****, but you got ***** anyway lol.

I'll watch a few more for a bit.

Any pointers for his Marth would be great, too, since he only started playing Marth about a month or so ago. He's normally our spacies/sheik main, and has actually taken matches from/beaten some good players. His Marth just waits.

EDIT: Any matches vs Evoz/MaGuS, Roman/Idol, or Handsome Tim should be ignored unless you feel like critiquing Link/DK, Ganon, or whatever the hell Idol is playing as, since they're all pretty new to the game/their characters.

Well, actually, go ahead and look at any matches I post w/ Handsome Tim, since I need advice on that matchup. I can wreck Ganon with Peach and Sheik, but I'd still like pointers w/ random things, since there aren't many Ganon mains around these parts.

Does he want advice in general or for the Doc v. Marth matchup? In general I think he just needs to move more, space better, stop spamming fsmash and get more exp.

For vs. Doc
space him,
Marth cc ditlt -> Doc cc anything,
space fair/nair/ftilt/dtilt him to death,
don't ever trying to approach/get in super close unless you want Doc to win
anytime you knock him off stage just grab the ledge and force him to upb on stage
If Doc grabs you he realy can't combo you well from a throw unless the Marth DI's all dumb
Watch out for Dthrow -> fair KO's (aka: don't get grabbed cause you shouldn't allow doc to get in that close).
Jab pills

Wash rince repeat.

Prolly Marth in general. It could also be that he was just effin' around. It's not uncommon for Ferdi to 3-4 stock pretty much any CO player in tournament.

Except me, cuz I'm tight.

But alrighty, I'll pass the message on to him. He hasn't really done CC dtilt with Marth ever, and I suspect that'll be annoying to deal with.

Not bad Izzy, not bad at all. You made good use of wavedashing in and out with f-tilt and good use/spam of Mario's f-smash. Now you should start stalling some of the recoveries as Mario by caping more.

Oh yeah, I still don't understand what the falling tornadoes were about. :confused:

So he's changing the Doc metagame is he?! I'll show him. :demon:

LMAO. ****, that's ****. I was kind of hoping you would keep that one on the DL so I could use it for inevitable combo video. I do a bunch of other **** stuff in those vids we recorded the other night (vs. Jesse's Ganon as both Doc/Marth, in teams ... umm, vs. Jesse's Fox as either Marth/Doc). I can't think of all of them, so just watch em all and see if I do **** stuff (which I think I was in almost every match lol).

I'm the SS of Doc's son (except I'm good).
