I can't find one. I know what it is and what attacks to use, but I am wondering about the distance between you and your opponent. I think that a video would clear up this problem very well. If any one has some time one their hands, would you mind making a video about this? It is a very important skill, and without seeing it, it's a bit confusing.

This is before I started going to tournaments so I only used a zoning/defensive spacing game. I wouldn't recommend relying on a zoning game that much (it becomes predictable if you're only zoning and never really approach). That being said some matchups you have to do it a lot.

Another good lesson to learn here is never be impatient for the kill which you can clearly see in all these old videos of myself I do. Marth's smashes are punishers.

Hope that helps.

That video really helped to clear it up. You don't have to be too close, but close enough to get them to follow. Ok, Mods, lock it up!
