im glad to hear your not quitting atleast, at DL this friday everyone thought you shouldnt quit D: ( Hack, Aniolas , Armada, Smasher89, Nizro, Me , Q , Jadde ), since your improving way faster than the far majority of the scene ( worldwide ). Most who have played 1 year can only dream of being as good as you are tbh.
Some quotes from different people that night that i remember:
" Hes been improving so fast and has just reached a small, temprorary plateau which is a point everyone will get to sooner or later. You just gotta stay motivated, analyze your flaws and especially play more and go to more tourneys"
" He probably thinks he keeps losing to the same people over and over but he has to realize that first, both shieks and ajp are a very hard matchup , and also that ajp, aniolas etc go to lots off national tourneys and are also improving "
"He also shouldnt compare himself to Leffen ( and pepito ) who is basicly the only one(s) improving faster imo. Leffen lives in stockholm , have played far better players from the beginning ( i have played vs top 10 people from the day i started playing and have constantly asked them / discussed viable stategies and techniques with them , and recently got to play alot vs armada and aniolas at DH ) and he was very good at brawl and had played that for a long time before he started melee ( pepito too ) all he had to do was adapt "
As for me all i can say that you are one of the players im most scared of facing in bracket except for IVP / Armada and shiek players ( although i've kind of learned that matchup now, beat aniolas @ DL this friday ) . You marth is really on point, especially in the spacie matchup ;D Without saying all i know about your habits i can say that you tech away from opponent a bit too much, and also you also roll up from the ledge a bit too much.
I cant really say much vs shiek except that you should play a bit more passive and space and that you shield too much ( grab vs marth = lol ) , oh and you should use some dtilt vs shiek, that iasa thing rapez ;D Also remember to try and keep control of the stage.
You guys should really come to DL more ( no offense rocky / sora , but playing better and more persons really makes you think about your orginally would not ) I am sure that many ( including people who are much better at giving advice then i am ) would be happy to help you out and give you further understanding of the game ( Nizro, C , Hack, Ivp etc ).
Dont give up ;D
