I know many people probably say this on the forums, but I really do need some help here. I know that Melee isnt the easiest game to learn and it takes a lot of dedication. I've been having learning curves on various things like how I preform aerials and how I L-cancel. I want to figure out the exact way I like to play but it constantly changes and it's making everything I do get mixed while also taking away from practicing tech and characters. I know I'm new here and this is to be expected from somebody with the experience I have but I'd really want to know what you all suggest. I've been trying to learn Captain Falcon and I know he takes a decent amount of tech skill so it's really bothering me :c. Thanks for being helpful! :kirby:

Also sorry If I'm posting too much. I have so much to ask!

Really, the only way to get over the learning curves is to put a lot of time into the game and train as much as you can. Wavedashing, L-Cancelling, and other tech will become second nature once you have performed it enough. My advice is to use the Name Entry Glitch to get into a single-player match (TIME mode, time set to NONE) and just practice whenever you have free time.

Also, feel free to post as much as you want! That is the point of a forum.

Melee can be hard to get into at first in terms of tech skills, but it becomes second nature with enough practice. 20XX Melee can definitely help on tech skills. One really important aspect of Melee is neutral game, and that can only be improved by playing against other people. Punish game is another really important aspect in Melee, Captain Falcon and Sheik are both okizeme heavy characters, so keep that in mind when playing them. Punish games aren't always combos, they usually are, but okizeme are also extremely strong punishes depending on the characters and Captain Falcon and Sheik are the characters with the strongest okizeme. Sheik has gimping abilities which can also be very useful, and Captain Falcon has the more punishing combo game so remember that. Melee isn't the hardest game to get into, and isn't even the hardest fighting game to get into for sure, I definitely had more trouble getting into Guilty Gear than I did with Melee, but Melee has one of the highest learning curves and to get around that you have to know what your character is best at and learn to have good fundamentals in the game.
