seems Eggms videos never have sound, lol. And I like the match on battlefield. You should just change your name to JPeach lol, I've never seen you use fox since I've met you, not that it's a bad thing.

I only watched the one on BF and FoD. I didn't want to watch the rest because it was obvious that Eggm was sandbagging real hard/fooling around...

But your Peach has a lot of potential.

My main advice to you is work on approaching. You rarely approached, if not at all, in those vids. Approaching will put more pressure on your opponent and make it harder for them to space/set the momentum. Learn to approach with well spaced FC Fairs (or Nairs at closer range).

Eggm wasn't sandbagging, just being ridiculously aggro cuz he was having a good time, its just friendlies. The two you watched were put up to show off my peach a little more since I was ******, while the other two were more because they were good matches.

Anyway thanks for the comments and advice. Personally, I think Peach at high level is terrible at advancing, and you're always better off playing defensive if the other person is willing to play offensive. IMO defense beats offense every time as a peach player. Her pressure game is kinda wack, and being in the air leaves her too vulnerable. If I have to advance, I usually try to bait people into thinking they have an opening, and then go back to playing defense LOL. Not to say that I don't play aggro, I just let them make the first move a lot. Once they are down/off stage, I'm all over them.

Tell that to Cort.

Regardless, you should still approach. You approaching is more than likely not gonna make your opponent (especially a Fox) go on the defensive/camp if he wasn't already. Your strategy relies heavily on letting your opponent set the momentum of the whole match while you find mistakes in their approaches to punish, in which you did... a lot. That's why I think Eggm was sandbagging/being really reckless.

At higher levels of play, you'd get ***** if you didn't know how to approach well.

Well, that's just my two cents.

I think peach can get away with being aggro somewhat if she spaces decently. Thats just me tho

good peach =) I could learn from these vids because I have a hard time against really solid falco players.

When you're floating above Eggm in your second DL match vs his fox, you should use that opportunity to pseudo-tech chase with the fair. I find that waiting just a second for them to get up or roll and then fc-fairing straight down usually catches people because, if you start out right above someone and they stand up, they get hit by the fair's lower hit box, if they roll behind you, the may get hit by its back hit box, and obviously if they roll in front of you, they'll probably get hit by the forward hit box. Now, if for some reason, you completely whiff, depending on where they rolled/teched to you have different options.

In front- You can try to follow up, slap, dash attack, fc-nair, or just run away.
Behind - I'd just run away or shield because I'm uncomfortable with fox behind me, but I guess you can fc-bair him
If he managed to tech right underneath you, you're kind of screwed unless you down-smash really fast or something. The point is, though, the fair should prevent him from getting here in the first place.

I think at 1:35, it would have worked out pretty well.
