Hey I use Pit and I've been noticing that I play too passively or afraid when I'm in a hard competitive environment. Against a friend and his fellow mid tier I am pretty aggressive but that might just be because I'm comfortable in that scenario but not in general experience vs. random good players. But how do I chase down without overextending while Pit moves so slowly in the air? Foxes just jump in my face and blitz everywhere while I'm slowly landing. But there must be something I can do.
A friend has suggested empty hopping as a good safe movement option but has since retracted that statement after considering Pit airspeed more. I do tend to jump a lot. Occasionally I do a walk back punish grounded or some dash dance stuff but I jump mostly. If these are my character's attributes, should I just be pressing stage control while walking? Seems tough. Recently at my local I got washed by failing to pressure a ZSS and then I went to Lylat on game 2. I actually won that round because with that stage I could corner him far more easily than on PS2 and Battlefield (also I noticed my jab is a good antiair for all these people just jumping in my face). But then I lost on the aforementioned Battlefield. So my question is how do I corner people elsewhere on more traditional stages?
I'm open to suggestions. I do notice that i make several unnecessary dash backs when pressing forward when I could just straightforward punish quicker sometimes. Maybe that's a part of it. I haven't made a thread here in this section so I hope this is the appropriate spot for this, thanks.
