How can I improve my Lucina
- Thread starter Starry.
- Start date
From glancing over the video, the main things I'd suggest are:
- Try to walk more than dash. Lucina's dash attack isn't nearly as useful as her tilts, and you can do pretty much anything out of a walk.
- Don't roll so much. Strong players will punish you for rolling excessively.
- There were a few times where you charged f-smashes and Shield Breaker while the opponent was nowhere near. Try not to do this, since your opponent is just going to avoid it and punish you when you're in endlag, or possibly counter if they have the option.
- When recovering, try not to overshoot the ledge. If you get close enough you can sweet-spot it and grab it instantly. If you go even a little above, the opponent can attack you.
- You have a counter, so make use of it. Try to read your opponent's attacks, and throw out a counter when they're not expecting it. (but don't abuse it, or they will be expecting it) Mix it up with grabs and dodges to keep them on their toes.
that's all I have for now. I'm sure others will have even more to add.

Yep, abused counters are easily punished. Most players use counters when landing as well, it is a bad habit I believe. Anyways, try to limit it to when you are 100% sure they will use a move to hit you.

You should use your neutral air a lot more as as jab. Grab less. and if you're running, you might want to try side B instead of the dash attack.
Your biggest problem is that you seem to be going for a ton of hard reads but you don't have the experience to actually predict correctly yet. That's something that'll change with time if you keep practicing, but for now you might want to cut that out and just go hyper offensive.
