NOTE: This is my opinion, not necessarily fact, mkay? And it's not too well written, just thought up during a particularly boring revision period at school XP.
A lot of players here will be at a point or have been at a point at which they can't seem to improve. They know that they can still get better but for some reason can't. I am one of these players stuck at this point. A lot of players often give up at this point as they feel that they're not good enough for Smash. However I believe that they're just missing one key step to get past this point. So where is this point? Well hopefully this post will answer that.
Without any AT( Advanced Techniques) (as most of us started) at the very start I believe that you can improve in almost any way, CPU, 1 player, humans, it doesn't matter. But as you improve without any AT you can only get better if you play someone at a similar or higher level. Else there's very little point in playing at all. Eventually without AT we get to the point where either we beat everyone we know and look on the internet to boast, see if there's anything you're missing etc. or we go against someone far superior who knows all the AT. This is the way in which most of us discover AT.
Once again, improving at the start of the discovery of AT is easy. Anything can be used. Once again however, a dead end is reached. This is the point. You know most of the AT for your character that you find useful, once again you defeat nearby people easily and CPUs are no longer a problem. So how do you get past this point? It's rather simple really. Play someone who already is VERY good at the game. Although you may have played people like this before now it's different. You know the AT. So what's the point then? The point is that you'll learn how to implement AT into your game. Most people will know Wavedashing, dashdancing but will just use it randomly, get punished from doing them or just don't see the advantage to them.To get past the point you need to learn how to apply AT to your game. You need to know when it's appropriate to play aggressively, when to wavedash, how to get your opponent into that all important grab. All of this can only really be learned from other people. Once you begin to learn how to implement AT into your game you have got past the point. Once you begin to learn how to do it to improve on it is rather simple in comparism to beginning implementation of AT.
So an easy way to get to play someone who can help you get past the point? Well I'm planning to attend a Smashfest or a Tourney and I suggest all you that feel that you aren't improving need to attend one as well. If you really want to improve attending one will give you a GREAT boost. You may end up getting owned a lot but you'll learn from watching and playing.
Thanks for reading all this, all comments appreciated ^^.
