you just gotta know on what to work on, keep them combo's going. have a solution or counter for different situations.

getting good at this game imo is proportional to how many good players you have access to playing.
you gotta get tech skill down. i can't stress how important this is. if you can't do it, then you can't even think about applying it in game.
when tech skill isn't an issue, it comes to knowledge/experience/empirical observations, etc.
it'll definately take more than 7 months, 1-2 years would be solid. it'd be better if you had access to better ppl to play
it's my john for sucking
i never play GTA ppl =(
edit: it also can't be stressed enough that techskill doens't mean flashy business. just what's necessary to execute what you want
edit 2: omg so much truth in david's post
ppl make me good please =(

Yeah! Random censor....h8ters !
Also, I know how you feel Skully. I'm pretty much in the same boat, and honestly the only thing you can do is get over it, continue to practice until you find your place. Pretty much, as salty as I get...in my mind I'm always thinking, "what's the point in being mad?" either
A) After a while no one wants to play you, or
B) You realize that no one can tap you on the head and make you better, so you just keeeep truckinnnnnn.
Also, I'm going to do the impossible and be a straight Peach main...GET AT ME.

M2K's Fox in the 06-07 years was just really good at combos and had a huge amount of technical skill. It also played super gay and was really good at laser camping and dash dance camping. His style was very simple, though, and promoted consistency. It wasn't as fancy as some of the other top Foxes of that era (Chillin, KDJ, PC in certain moments) but it also didn't have to be.
Which, quite honestly, isn't a bad way to develop a style. If your hits do a billion damage and kill instantly, you don't have to hit them as much. Having good technical skill and movement can help protect you from being hit first, which is also kind of groovy.
I'm not sure I'd recommend learning someone like Sheik if you're going to practice mainly on your own because her skills are based off trained reactions, which require a partner. And you need a good partner (I'd argue) because otherwise you'll simply get used to your opponent's habits and then subconsciously expect those. It's why I get more out of playing Ryan than anyone else... he switches up a lot. But he also sometimes repeats to try and trick me. It's very erratic. He also knows the combo breaking distances for edgecancels and is good about DIing the jabs so I always have to be on my toes and try to be as accurate as possible when I play him.
Just my two cents. Admittedly, there are a few ways to go about trying to perfect the tech chase and other reactionary aspects of Sheik's game on your own, but I find it's significantly easier to simulate that sort of thing for other characters just because of how much easier it is to make the CPU DI than it is to make them tech. Pretty much everything is smash is easier to emulate than teching, to be honest. I hate this game's AI.

LOL. I'm from FL. Guns are pretty common down there. As sad as that is xD (I was born in Kitchiner though so this is my home country) but yeah I'll ask my Dad about it. I trust you it's just if my Dad trusts you or not.
Being 17 blows lawl.
And I've been playing for a bout a year and a half and I still suck. Hard. But Tampa has a pretty pathetic Melee smash scene. Regardless, I don't think there is a set time. Some people get good fast others takes a while, a big factor is how good the people you're playing with are. The better they are the better you will get.
To anyone who can come get me. I'll give you 10$ for gas. And a high five

I really wish we still had Steve.
He'd totally cut work for ten bucks, bro status, a high five, and a smash.

one of the biggest factors as far as i can tell is how much you hate losing. people who really hate losing tend to get good pretty fast. (seems kind of obvious, but meh)
Applicable to me.
It actually puts me into a bad mood for a while, so there is definitely a motivational factor.

Smash Legend
I despise losing.
Keeping a decent mindset in spite of frustrations (like losses) is definitely crucial, however.

yeah, that's the other part. if you hate losing you can either get depressed or redouble your efforts not to lose.
