wow i leanred stuff =p great information

 

[gargamash]

best how to i have ever read.... very good tool

 

[UobteX]

This was a very good read. The only question I have is in regards to applying this to tournament situations. Is it more effective to consciously think of our playstyle while we're in a match, or is it better to run on "autopilot"? I'm definitely going to pay attention to how I play in practice, but what about in tournaments? Do we perform better if we just let our subconscious (so to speak) take over?

Thanks again for the good post.

 

[ReoZeo]

Very nice "article" I'll take it into consideration lol

 

[ZeroFox]

Very very good read, thanks for the effort you put into that. I say no matter how much tournament experience you may have, or how much skill you may have, there's always an opportunity to learn more about Smash, or at least brush up on things.

pretty good =D

Just wanted to comment on this topic because it is a very great read and well written. Reading this topic actually helped me improve my game alot(which was it's intention in the first place). Great job and just wanted to post to show my appreciation.

 

[Chaos Swordsman]

This is very good advice.More people need to read this to improve.They just rush too much.

 

[cleeb101]

ahaha yess i main marth spacing is so important

 

[Harbinger631]

Thanks so much! I recently started focusing on spacing, and my survivability has increased a lot. My friends are so frustrated now that they can't hit me!

 

[phi1ny3]

Azen's "Don't jump into ****" is important, considering in Brawl, defensive tactics have improved since Melee, and combos aren't there to save you. Lol at the "Don't get hit".

 

[ShadowDigo]

Awesome thread, this will keep me from losing sometimes...

 

[SirroMinus1]

This makes me wanna play brawl. Im so amped!!!

 

[romarthx2]

This is a great thread. I learned a lot from it. Thanks!

 

[Ominous]

[Spazzums]

this was a fantastic post of advice
maybe i can learn to suck less :x
spacing is my biggest problem by far

watch out world, when Spazzums gets her spacing, you're all doomed!

 

[NFS (sonic)]

spacing is gonna be a hassle for sonic
but i know i can work around/with that
thanks

 

[CommanderCody08]

thanks for the great advice. this is exactly how my friend who doesn't kow a single AT can beat me some of the time.

I'm gonna go play a low level CPU (for a change) and work on this stuff.

 

[Mast3rofDarkness]

this is very useful forum. thanks.

 

[CitizenSWORD]

Not to raise the dead or anything, but...
This is an awesome F-ing post.

That point about training on low-level CPUs is excellent advice.

 

[damezguy]

that was a very informative thread, thanks.

 

[smashbros.maniac]

Nice thread! I've been needing to work on the basics, myself... I've been getting really rusty lately, and I haven't been winning many matches because I've been focusing on reading my own character and not staying cool in an intense situation. Some of those tips should be read once every month to be as a reminder! xD

Thanks for the long, and very well written, awesome post! ^_^

When you keep losing, Become Shikumaru and think 200 steps ahead.

 

[DylantheNinja]

lol up until I started using shiek in melee I barely realised tilts existed, and now I use tilts all the time. I play DDD alot too, and spacing for him is very important, especially if I ever get the notion into my head to try an f smash (funny, it's so slow, people don't think about it, and it hits too much because of it). You not only have to space to be good defensively, but with characters like DDD and Marth, you need good spacing to have good offense. I have to agree that people tend to get caught up in learning the advance stuff, when mastering the basics is truly key. The advanced stuff is like the giga jiggly glitch, its pretty useless, just a "look what I can do" thing. The main thing I think I'll take away from this is to watch my opponent. Personally, my screen is small enough I can focus on us both, but watching my opponent is very important, keep my self in peripheral. I'll have to work on that. Also, I dash too much. I never have been able to get used to walking, but because of it I've developed a playstyle centered around dashing. For instance, with mk, dash attack>u smash. It's inescapable at lower %.

 

[Drig786]

Useful advice i tried this and i ***** my opponent

 

[Jesusdragon737]

Great post. I think the main message is to play smart. Don't play based on random impulses, think through how you play the game. Make every move count, and don't do attacks and dodges randomly if you have no clue what the results will be.

 

[Dragonslayer9]

Keep losing? Try MK.

 

[SinkingHigher]

What about DI? imo that's pretty important...

 

[Smudge]

Great read man, I'll have to show it to a few in my local area, seems like exactly what they need to read at the moment.

 

[marnex13]

This is a great thread! Really helped me out.

 

[Vel]

I just wanted to post and say thanks to the OP - this has helped me out tremendously.

"Don't get hit" - such simple advice that's improved my game within 10 min of trying it. I used to have trouble beating a single lvl 9 Snake, now I can beat 2 lvl 9's in a row before dying once - all I do is just keep repeating to myself "Don't get hit"

I'm gonna keep training with lvl 3's, but I just wanted to thank the OP - really a GREAT post

 

[wh1te5had0w]

good thread worth reading

[spork_kitty]

[Midnitekoala]

[Lizard]

Great post. Putting into words what is difficult to say
