BACKGROUND:
I have recently been going ham on reading anything i can get my eyes on, studying my own videos, theorycrafting options and situations, memorizing matchups to its very core. All of this is so fascinating to me to the point that my drive to become one of the most knowledgeble players in my community and in the long term the whole community. It makes me love this game insanely.
Then i play.
SITUATION:
I love playing dont get me wrong. Best game in the world. But i try to comprehend stuff high level players like PPMD are saying and i have to pause, take notes and study it for awhile before i resume the video. And its difficult for me to translate that into my gameplay. I hear about making a gameplan and how to succesfully accomplish it then adapting when it fails. But i cant translate what ive learned to the controller.
Example:
Me as sheik vs a falco that is offstage.
I cant tell when to immediatly jump nair or to drop off the ledge a little into jump nair. Cover side b option. Then they jump out up b.
They ledgedash. I ftilt. Whiffs. So i close them into their corner with a nair enough to cover platform. But i somehow trade hits. Falco might get a hit on me. Laser. Idk.
Covering all the options is hard.
