I'm definitely out of practice, that's for sure; regressing back to roll-dodges, flubbing my technical detail left and right, not using all the tools in the toolbox. Hopefully I can change some of those issues now that I'll be getting some decent practice in.
It's true that my natural tendency is aggression, or at least I intend it as an in-your-face pseudo aggression I try to use to throw my opponents off balance. In my own experience, I've found that many aggressive players will be taken aback by oncoming counteraggression, thus making the fight fertile for punishable mistakes. But I can, do, and very often will play defensively when I feel the situation warrants it, especially against defensive players; they're the ones who are more likely going to be uncomfortable approaching, and so make mistakes.
Personally, I've never found a practical use for SH-3X-laser where SH-2X-laser couldn't do the trick; it's still distracting/annoying for the opponent, and 3X runs the risk of sending a 4th laser grounded. But that's just me.
I really wish winning at these matches were as simple as you tell me it is, but that kind of stark tactical simplicity just isn't going to cut it against players who know what they're doing.
Thanks a bunch for the input; I'd really like to hear your thoughts on the Diddy Kong matches though. I've played against this player before, and I've been experimenting with practical Fox banana techniques.
