not gonna lie, yay's first combo was ****. that utilt? priceless.
getting hit by illusions is SO annoying. sneak is good at switching between head height (needing a bair) chest height (needing a jab) and edge height (needing a low angled ftilt/tipman). yay was good at going head height when i can't bair fast enough, and going edge height even below the ftilt.
i'll keep in mind platform stuff. i'm usually fast enough to get those uairs, but i may have been going a little more on reaction than prediction, to make sure i didn't miss, and ended up just being late. i'll keep those mixups in mind though. usually the only character i try to get on the platform with and regrab is marth. it's just so fun against him, and he's a really fun weight to get that dthrow bair with. i'll definitely keep that in mind to expand my game.
i tried to keep the pressure on both sneak and yay by approaching with uairs. it worked some, and failed a lot. but approaching and getting close with fair is really bad, as they can just run under it and usmash or something, but even the uair has it's weaknesses when going forward. i remember when i watched rockcrock face yay, any time rockcrock did anything that...wasn't uair, yay just ran in and did stuff.
i definitely appreciate the feedback. i feel like even though i lost, i understand how this matchup works, to a degree. now to just raise my own level just a little higher, and maybe i'll be able to win a few sets in my first round pool.
