I only had time to watch the Sheik match and should probably have watched the Fox one since that's where you lost once skimming through it. It's a bit hard to give advice when your mistakes aren't being punished and things are working out for you. Ah well, here's what I observed, more or less sequentially:
dude u gotta play people as much as possible
really the basics, l canceling wavedashing and movement in general. go up agains a lvl 9 and try not to get hit but dont really attack, if you're going to combo practice go up against a lvl 4 or 3. the best training comes from playing people who are better than you so really make an effort to smash with people and you'll grow exponentially faster. (also combo training on a level 9 will build bad habits)
You look like you're in a pretty similar situation to me, starting to get basic tech down pretty well but don't really have anyone to practice with. I found this guide to be quite helpful, in particular the falcon video by F.Zero he links in his videos section. Has some solid advice for what to do when practicing alone.
Also, I'll try to use DolphinPlay. I need that type of practice
Absolutely, man! Do you have Skype? If so, add me @ "ericstah". I'll probably be able to play DolphinPlay tomorrow/later today if you're still on.
things i noticed:
this vid should help against cf somewhat and also di away when grabbed or up aired because CF has the most dangerous follw ups in the game
Once you force falcon to up b below the ledge go out there and get him. Don't hesitate because even if he grabs you. Its a free tech and punish every time
I haven't check smashboards in a while, I appreciate the reply and will definitely put your advice into practice. I've improved a lot of my movement,attacks of choice, and not jumping right away when recovering since that video was recorded, but that platform information is good i will keep that in mind as well as dash attacking/nairing too much. Thank you again.
try reading this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Daf_Dqod1HoMj7L26ITeUM-xKUKhfxh2vJLWOl2N0C8/edit, you look like your on a very low level of play so critiquing might be a little difficult, try getting more fundamentals down and expanding from there rather than having us pick this apart, my main piece of advice wud be grab more and once an enemy is above u u shud abuse ur priority and range harder for long juggles.
Well yeah, like I said, second tourney ever. A little more advice would have been helpful, but regardless, the google doc should be helpful. Thanks
I would say to stop throwing out moves all the time. Think about your moveset and what each move can be good for and when to best use it. If you wanted you could go into matches think about using a certain move well until you best understand it. Such as "in this match I will experiment with fair".
Interesting way to think about it. Thanks
You're a really competent Marth, and those were fun to watch. One thing I noticed was a lack of creativity concerning off stage play, both in edgeguarding Falco, and also your own recoveries from ledge. I know there's a time and a place for everything, but it seemed like most of your onstage recoveries from ledge were just the basic "up" animation where he climbs on with no attack. No wavedash, no forward airs back to ledge. And for punishing him, I know you were trying to mix up the dtilts and counters, but it just seemed like Falco had the right read on you most of the time, and he never had to adjust to you chasing him offstage. Falco's recoveries are pretty predictable, so feel free to occasionally chase him out there and throw out a fair or something.
I appreciate you watching them and your input man. Unfortunately im a Ness main these days lol. Just a pocket marth now
