I had forgotten about Peach, and it makes so much sense that she'd be Mac's worst mu now that you mention it. However I do feel like Pikachu is harder. Mainly due to his small size, easy combos and annoying projectiles. I suppose it all comes down to personal skill and experience. One Mac can say that Peach is hardest while another can say that Villager is.
cool that he mentions a lot of stuff that other mac videos don't touch on. the only thing i would think to add is the value of dtilt>pp Utilt in terms of combo extending, especially after the opponent is out of side b combo range, or you are too close to edge to use it. it sets up usmash strings and up b combos, and is overall safer to use in neutral for damage than side b at later percents.
haha thanks and yeah, ive been looking for ways of to use it in neutral, like a nair followed by uair, but so far, haven't found a way to implement it consistently into my gameplay. TBH, ive been labbing a ton with combos and other stuff with mac, as im going to genesis 3.
so let's see some uair footage! and i saw that dash attack>pp utilt. what other dash attack combos are you talking about though? besides the dash attack>dash attack, of course.
amazing patience from alphicans. on a side note, does anyone know why ftilt does not safely destroy the lloid rocket, but multijab does?

yo, i thought i was the only one who used street fighter alpha music when i played smash. chun lee and dan themes, damn i love it.
Nintendo likes to copy write the **** out of videos so i took the music out and put something else on
@4:40 jab combo into up-b is a thing? I didn't know that.
vsvsand matchup is so bad for . basically he wins neutral, and gets huge conversions, while when i win neutral, and get some follow ups, but nothing like falcon. basically i got read for using in place tech and not mixing it up. and the counter was, well...let's just say that's why i don't like counter. The match with his was pretty ok, till i was a dumbass and tried to Fair him. on a platform. on town and city. against DK. yeah, not a good decision on my part.
not bad, but that peach wasn't punishing you for a lot of the laggy
good stuff jet. looking slick against shiek over there. crup really had your number though... i think that set was less about mu knowledge there, and more about being able to get in the opponent's head. on crup's side, he knew that mac's aerial/landing options are limited and shield pressure options are slow, so he just tried to keep you uncomfortable the entire time. (which i think is why he was able to beat you with both c.falcon and dk -- even if you had great mu knowledge for c.falcon and dk, as long as the opponent is playing a style that maximizes mac's airtime and plays in shield on the ground, it's going to be difficult if you can't figure out their habits/weaknesses.) i guess it's just experience -- keep it up man, you're doing great!got some tourney matches here:

IDK, but thanks to advice from Sol, i can play this match and win it now, with what i know, and how to play. and my recovery improved a ton when i saved my jump as much as i could. otherwise, just bread and butter combos, and punished this shiek when they used the on stage up b.
Side note: i took a game off of saiki, the best shiek player in state, and arguably the best player in AZ, with mac, so i have made a ton of progress. now i just have to beat a top 10 player in bracket.

this matchup feels like its not in my favor, i lose really bad to shields as it is, and DK's grab range makes it absurd. basically i had to do a lot of safe pressure and reads, with an occasional grab mixup to play this match.

A little background knowledge for you guys, the man named crup is 3rd best in state, so i enjoyed this match a lot. i learned why the

overall, i did well, basically im at the point where i can beat anyone in bracket till i meet someone on PR, aka a top 10 player in my state. seems like its my final roadblock.
great tech japan! this stuff isn't very widely used, and to be completely honest, i suck at buffering pputilt, but it looks like there's a lot of mileage that you can get out of the da>pputilt. i'm also going to start trying that ua-fsmash crossup, but i feel like most characters will grab mac in the long startup. that dtilt>buffered jc usmash looks slick as well, but i wonder how DI and percentage factor into it. it looks like it would only be reliable around 80-90% -- still a great option if you get it. good look man, keep that mac knowledge open. i've been seeing a lot of macs showing in different regions -- i think he's become a lot more legitimate/viable in recent months, and a good part of it is sharing useful tech like this. stay up!
lol. that was worth the click
sounds great. any vid links?
the jila kid is good for sure, it takes a long time for a mac to always choose the most optimal follow-up or combo, as a lot of macs will miss that extra percent. i still cannot stress the power of Dash Dance and PPivot for mac, it is so good for him, it lets him play footsies all day and do anything out of neutral super fast. one day ill make a guide listing all the things you can do out of a dash dance/ppivot (which BTW, you can pp out of dash dance, greatly opening up macs neutral options.)
and to name a few.)
