Well to start off u have great grab game, but personally i wont abuse it that much. I'd say you need to use some more Nairs. Nair is a great move and can possibly be followed up by Fairs if he doesn't tech. Maybe a little more Dtilts too. You have a pretty solid marth. You have everything down. Just ur move choice isn't all that it can be. ON the other hand that fox needs a lil more practice. I kno im not a pro or anything, im just going off what works for me, and what i see, so goodluck.

You need to tech chase more aggressively. Don't be afraid to be on top of the person.

Don't recover so high. You're asking to get bair'd or shined.

Fulljump aerials against Fox are usually a bad idea. Stick to shorthops.

Your offense is too transparent. Wavedash, dashdance, mix it up.

You don't have to fsmash the Illusion. Jab it, let him drop down, then gimp him when he's charging the Fire Fox.

1) Yeah, I've always been pretty terrible with tech chasing no matter who I play. I guess I'm spoiled from Fox too, where I usually don't have to predict, I can just react lmao. I'll work on being more aggressive in general.

2) I get scared to recover low because I like to have enough range to F-air them, but I see your point and recovery is definitely something I need to work on.

3) No idea where I got this habit. I know it's terrible but it's like the hardest thing for me to change about my game (besides just plain freezing up vs good players :laugh:).

4) I thought I moved around pretty well, but I'll pay more attention to it in the future. Thanks for the advice =)

I'm not a huge fan of the N-air, but I definitely need to D-tilt more. I love that move to death but I never really use it, lol. And yeah the Fox doesn't have all that much experience, but he's getting a lot better.

Just throw them towards the edge. Whichever way they tech, you can just move forward and grab them. Done =P

Covering your recovery seems cool and neat, but remember, you're recovering. If you trade hits with them, yeah, you get that little extra damage on them, but you die.

It's not that you weren't moving around, it's that it was too easy to see when you were moving in. Look at Mew2king's dash dancing, or Taj's. Fricking impossible to read =P

I see what you mean now. This is something I really gotta work on for all my characters lol. I'm just never sure how to practice it, or more like, what I should be thinking/doing during a match. I can move really well when I'm playing against people who are as good as I am, or worse, or if they play slow characters but I get overwhelmed really easily when people are faster than me and then I just spend the rest of the match trying (and failing) at getting control back, lol :laugh:

You want to look for openings, bait people into committing. Remember, you're just moving around, which - unless you're wavedashing - has no lag, which gives you near-infinite flexibility.
