Any chance these are going to YouTube? Can't load them on my phone :< when I use the twitch app there's 3 recent vids, only one is long enough to be the one, but I checked at the appropriate time and didn't see you lol. I blame my phone.
Man, you ****ed that first guy up, for real. Good ****. The other guy played really well, but was also kinda predictable since he was playing Fox like Falco. You flubbed an edgeguard once or twice, so just make sure you always punish their side b, on stage or towards the ledge.
I'm still pretty bad at the matchup, but I find that approaching is usually a bad move. You have to read your opponent's movement super well and punish accordingly. There are certain positions you occasionally find yourself in that give you the upper hand, but it's all about reaction.
I think you played well for someone that's only played that long. Not to write off your performance, but I don't think there are many good Ganon mains in Europe, so he probably is not very polished in the matchup.
Don't worry bro; we'll figure this sheik fukkery out.
If I had an hour to sit down and play him I think I could adapt a lot more, playing him is my one set of sheik practice per week lol. Probably the main reason I dropped such an easy cg. I literally had him beat too, ****. Let's practice sheik against each other until we either quit making mistakes or get good enough to sheik ditto these deutch bagels.
Depends on where you feel most comfortable. I've been striking to DL64 lately, purposely, to force myself to work on my neutral. I don't think any of those stages are horrible. At top level peach's camping on DL is hard to deal with. But you're going to have to play her on one of those. At least you get to choose?
That's the thing, I don't feel comfortable on any of those three stages vs Peach. I'm all about movement, and that gets crippled on FD and FoD. I really love playing on Dreamland, however against Peach I just don't seem to have the patience with her living forever and to have to constantly edgeguard her insane recovery (same goes for Puff). I've been striking to FoD for that reason, but I never feel confident going in.
Practice your movement on FoD more then. I always strike there when it's a choice between those three stages. If you can move around well on it, it's great because you get kills sooner and you can control the stage easier with your massive hitboxes. It's like a worse version of Yoshi's. You don't want Peach to have enough space to pull turnips, so DL and FD are pretty bad. Even Pokemon is pretty bad because the transformations can separate you and she can just start pulling turnips until she gets a stitch.
Lmao that part about commentators and disrespect was golden. I think the disrespect part applies to sm4sh Ganons specifically.
I'm just going to start CP'ing that stage, **** it, gotta learn it somehow. Not just vs Peach lol
So true. Ganon doesn't live forever when your opponent can edgeguard. The stage easily exploits Ganons bad neutral game. Jumping to a platform is a bigger commitment than other stages. It has a lot of good points also. But overrated, definitely.
Getting good on FoD seems to be the best way to win BO3's against spacies, peach, puff, falcon if he lets you go there, maybe even sheik.
Doc is pretty good. If more people were good with some of his tech like up-b cancel he would be more on the radar.
How about when you won game 1 on battlefield and they ban yoshis? Yea, FoD is my go to choice. Dreamland vs campy fox is an absolute nightmare.

thoughts on FoD marth counterpick? Falcon? ****ing jiggs? Lol. I now see that's basically what duel said.
Yeah, it comes down to DL and FoD every time for me basically in the fox MU, optimally I think we need to just get good at FoD, no laser camping.
can someone explain this to me and show me some frame data gif? when do you actually input jab.
Yo Kage, mind practicing with me downtown at the weeklies? I'll be going to all of them once my school semester finishes. gj at getting 2nd at si2, wish I coulda gone

I think FoD is good against falcon because of the small stage aspect. Yoshi's and FoD are always good picks in the mu IMO. While platform heights screw you up, they also screw up the falcon, so that's kinda negated. The only thing I don't like about it is that I like to be as lame as possible when edge guarding falcon and just stay on stage and up air. On FoD, this doesn't work because the mid-height platforms screw up your up airs. Just think about falcon's recovery choices etc and go out and get him. A little more risky, but just as effective. You can't let a falcon back on stage. Not with that neutral game.

congrats on 2nd though. Looks like moon got his revenge, huh? Yea, it's good you're thinking of the marth killer though lol I remember watching you vs moon at big house and seeing how many missed opportunities you had to use it. Read Ace's edge guarding thread, I found the section vs marth to be particularly useful. If they land on stage, just dthrow into bair. Reset situation. I think you can probably just react to them teching, too, if they're at that % where they tech on a platform.
YO that pivot ftilt in the beginning though
-ACE-
what's the input for that tilt at 1:28? It looks like you pivoted before the tilt even came out? Tipman does this, too, with his pivot jabs. He actually just pivots and stops momentum before jab comes out.
