Lag on TV's shouldn't mess up the muscle memory/rhythm of wobbling. However, lag does mess up reactions, so you may have not been starting the wobble off of grab confirm as soon as you could and your opponent got out.
So I would get it started and they would mash out. My rhythm must have been off. Sometimes they mashed out in the middle, and I also messed up the finish like 3 times. Its just weird because I was doing it fine 1 game, and the next, I just couldn't. I also charged f-smash a few times which was really annoying. My gamecube controller has a really loose stick. It goes back and forth if you move it at all
Its hard to work with just this. What were you strengths/weaknesses? What did you have trouble with? What did you do well? Or go to the match-up thread and look at the match-ups and compare your matches to the info there.
lol Ya, I kind of realized that was a stupid question after I wrote it last night, but I was so tired after the event I didn't really care. Overall, I think my biggest problem was that I found myself shielding too often. Many opponents I had got in, quickly applied pressure, and I felt helpless. Falco was arguably the hardest for me. I didn't know how to deal with the lazers, ended up just blocking them, and he ran a train over me. Are there reliable ways to escape situations of heavy pressure? If not, how can I apply that kind of pressure to my opponent as IC's? As for your sentiments on wobbling, I understand where you're coming from. Personally, I only wobbled in tournament/money matches. I go for regular handoff or chaingrab setups in friendlies. My opinion is that if the set matters, I'm going to do what I can to win. In any other situation there isn't any reason to make my opponent angry, and developing my other IC skills is easier if I don't focus on the wobble. Of course, as you said, wobbling isn't neccessarely needed. Fly Amanita is proof of that, but it sure makes things easier especially in certain matchups like Peach. While it is easy to say people should understand you will do what you can to win when it counts, that isn't always the case. Just do whatever makes you happy, no point in playing the game if you aren't enjoying it.
if you're facing away from puff (which I've found is how you want to be most of the time against here), you can get the backwards hit of upsmash which has a pretty large hitbox right where she'll be floating after a SH aerial. If you can bait something out and WD OoS into an upsmash you can kill her pretty quickly on stages with smaller ceilings. The up smash is pretty laggy though so you can't just throw it out constantly.
talking about me?On the other hand some people just cannot get it down, there's a local ICs player here who never wobbles because he can't do it consistently so it's not the best grab punish for him to go for. And of course there's also Fly
Yoshi is actually a difficult matchup for ICs as demonstrated with Fly Amanita, Nintendude and ChuDat all having difficulty with it. In my scene, we have a very strong Yoshi player that places top 5-8 in our locals so I have some experience.
Yeah, I should've been able to beat him easily, I've beaten better Peaches. I was in a bad mindset after a PM match, and it just made me more frustrated. No johns though, he beat me, and now that I've had more time to think, I know what to do next time.
I like doing up throw to up-smash it works pretty well on most characters. Down throw to F-smash works too.
thanks,
This could be a couple things.
