@Luckay i'll try the usmash but nike's spacing is so on point i was scurred.

@Zulo, I try and stutterstep every smash

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

good match. now that i watch it again it's easier to see how you keep up with nike's shenanigans. i've really gotta come have another training day with you in beaumont bro.

only thing is that he reads your ledge hops really well since you always do airdodge>buffered something

 

[Esca]

Ive been mixing it up mystic!

I just think that airdodging in is super viable against some players.

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Airdodge on stage to utilt is about the safest way to get on the stage for pit. Don't do it right away though cuz we can arrow plank

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

trust me, i know you mix it up. im just saying that nike for some reason was responding to it at the right time really consistently.

 

[Pitzer]

People are starting to read that now. Im having problems getting back on stage without airdodging. I need another way...

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

auto cancel nair onto the stage works pretty well for me

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Yeah I sometimes mix that in with an uair plank because if they shield the uair and stay there then nair is guaranteed to poke.

 

[Krystedez]

Imma post a vid where I 2-stock that flying buttmonkey's (ADacheDee) wifiknight and ask for critique

Spoiler

[Sharkz]

So guys, I've really been trying to get better lately, but I just don't know how to improve. So I'm gonna take a ton of replays from msome of my aib ladder matches and I want ya'll to help me see what I can do to improve.

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

post your 4 most recent matches, that should be more than enough to give you some tips on

@koolaid

if he had gone aggro you would have lost. pit can compete fine with a campy MK. it's the ones who actually abuse his nado, range and shuttle loop that are the threats. if he had played the MU correctly you probably wouldn't have done as well if you played the way you did in this one. against an experianced MK, yo seriously need to run away the entire match, and if you run out room onstage, you go under it to get away from him. arrows and the occasional read for a stronger attack are your only options in this MU. mirror shield his shuttle loop and nado when you can. also beware that a good MK uses his dair and nado to severely limit our uair planking, so do more arrow planking to make up for that.

 

[Pitzer]

Looks like Imma have to critique soon. I'll edit this post. later

gimme the best advice

I think Maraba is right about how Bloodcross isn't abusing MK's best moves vs Pit(Nado, shuttle loop, dair)

Some good things I noticed is that your Pit is pretty precise so your not using unnecessary moves, you seem to have good control of Pit, and you KO @ decent %s

The rest of your habits are pretty general, like in the begginning of the match, you were using full hop, and idk if that's a safe thing vs MK because he can advance w/ nado/setup, but since you weren't punished idk. Maybe shorthop baits? Also, when you jump, idk what control setup you are using, but you move very linear if that makes sense? Like when you jump, you jump straight up. When you move, it's controlled. I don't think that's a bad thing, it's just something I noticed.

@3.12--when you did that arrow jump bait, you could have killed w/ a bair

Also another thing I noticed even from your old videos; you don't seem very good on the ledge. Maybe practice arrowing from the ledge, upair, fair/bair, and the like? That's all you need really. Seems like your Pit just needs a little more practice(ATs, control, speed) but you are a very smart player Koolaid, so keep it up.

 

[Esca]

maharba is exactly right.

check it out, someone actually uploaded one of my games from one of my matches from hobo 32 (it was a MM). tbh i've actually noticably improved according to sync, illmatic, gnes, and trela. and when they are uploaded i will show you guys my MMs against illmatic and P4 from yesterday

EDIT:

btw critique

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

You did really great to not get gimped offstage, you even stage spiked him while trying to recover.

One point where you were a stock down you seemed to fish for the kill and you kept trying to hit him as he hit you. After your invincibilty wears off you should be on the defensive and shield more until he does something laggy like DB because Marty can combo.

Also make sure vs Marth that he is at least a mile away before you pivot arrow because he can get in your face real fast.

 

[Pitzer]

Marth vs Pit you'll spend like 1/3rd of your time on the edge. Uptilt clashes with Jab, ftilt, Dtilt and sometimes marths f-smash. Up-smash is really good vs Marth. Always be about half an fd length away from him before you pivot arrow. Best stages vs Marth are Stages where he cannot platform camp from arrows, meaning FD, and to some extent SV, Ban BF vs him unless you're comfortable with being on the edge 5 minutes. If you think he's gonna Short hop double fair, Power shield the first hit then uptilt if he goes in. If you can't PS it, shield it, drop shield crouch, either dtilt, down b, or shield.

 

[MysteriousSilver]

There aren't any tournaments I'm going to be able to attend for like a month and a half or more, but I'd like to get some videos to review, what would you guys recommend? Should I just randomly MM someone? Should I go for someone that will be close to me, or someone who will curbstomp me?

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Videos you lose are easier to critique

Maha vs P4

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

please critique and point out the strong points of above posted video. ill try to stay on the boards and keep the brawl mentality even if i have to be inactive for a while

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

P4 seems like a pretty bad ml lol.

You were playing the mu right,less angel ring because a good mk will punish that and use more jab combo.

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

he doesn't usually sd like he did in the first game, but he is also very campy, so when playing a character like falco or pit, he doesn't really know how to be aggressive, thus making my life much easier. however against other characters that he can camp, he does very well

 

[Player-4]

Lol I was high when I played that set

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

no johns dude. gimme some credit, i've improved out here and while the battlefield win doesn't matter, i beat you legit on delphino.

i<3p4 tho

 

[Player-4]

We can run it back if you want and I won't **** around

 

[Kuro~]

High is not a legit john. Drunk...yes high no.

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

p4...

MONEY MATCH?! (in a couple months when i can come back to the brawl scene....)

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

WHO THE F*** IS THIS GUY?! that's actually not why im posting this vid because this is the only semi impressive match he has on here (as pit, not as snake)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V33stH0eyKg (LUCKAY, LOOK INTO THAT FIRST COMBO AT 13 SECONDS IN TO SEE IF WE CAN GET MORE OUT OF THAT)

that's the reason i just posted this

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

I think I saw that tag at Ktar5, I didn't talk to him though, he's pretty much new to offline I think.

The problem with that combo is that the ftilt didn't even lock, and Nairo probably DI'd down or something during the fsmash to make him hit the ground. It was all random because a fsmash at low percent hardly ever makes people hit the ground.

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

that's what i thought but i figured if it does then maybe a sh fair could follow up if the ftilt lock didn't work. but also i never see people hit the ground at 3% from fsmash either. i guess it was a coincidence combo

 

[Maharba the Mystic]

oh **** LUCKAY. i think i know why fsmash knocked nairo onto the ground. it's the same concept as MYSTIC WRATH. the arrow knocks them into the air just long enough for the fsmash to hit them when they are falling to the ground. and i never do fsmash out of pivot arrow, i always grab or dash attack or dsmash. then nairo could have fallen to the ground since it was a combo started at 0% with MK in the air from the arrow.

or i could be tipsy

 

[DTP]

Any tips on how to DI properly with Pit?
I've looked everywhere trying to find a thread or something. No luck....

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Bair when hit to the side, dair when hit upwards. Pit's aerials aren't the best momentum cancelers either way.
