This is a question that has been on my mind for a while. Is learning perfect pivoting necessary to get into a higher level of competitive smash or should I focus on solidifying my MU experience and basic fundamentals? As of right now, I believe that other techs (although maybe easier to pull off) such as fox trot canceling and reverse aerial rushing (RAR), should be mastered by newer players rather than perfect pivoting since fox trot canceling and RAR have more useful applications in the neutral. But for more experience players, I'm not certain if I should spend time trying to learn/apply perfect pivoting into my game. Any input would be helpful! Thank you!
