So.. i just got massacred by a mac, but not your typical FG "IM GOING TO DASH ATAK U AN GIB U SUM JABZ or SIDEB LOLZ IM DET", a GOOD Mac player, and those are fearsome IMO.
I'm going to post some notes if you encounter some of those macs:
And don't rage, yeah he is kinda stupid with his attacks, but it will be more stupid to rage and just go full offense.
If someone has notes against the good macs, please post them, it would help a LOT (myself included).
Thanks
I'm going to post some notes if you encounter some of those macs:
- At the start of the match, if he doesn't do the dash attack, then he will start spacing with rolls or waiting for you to attack, don't go for eggs since he can easily just shield them.
- Those rapid punches... OH GOD I HATE THEM, easy rack-up damage and hard to escape, if you're caught in this, try your best to double jump outta them, note this only works if you're below 10%
- Most people say "wait on the ledge, grab him and throw him away", well.. this is hard, Good Macs keeps himself on the center waiting, they just go if you make a mistake (like failing a grab or a pound), also, Yoshi's grab power is awful and his grab has high startup, so either you eat a ftilt or a smash.
- Eggs... i try them, most the time fail, since mac is fast, he can dash attack you when you're on the throw animation, you need to have a good read if you want them to work.
- Don't go too much for aerials, since mac has that ******** armor in his smashes, you will just fly away, best thing is to shield his smash and punish (watch your shield color)
- If you're going for a follow up (like dash attack or uair) he will either counter it or air dodge, so calm down yourself and look first what he do before going agressive.
- Full Agressiveness doens't work here, since mac can destroy you with his amazing ground game, so, is better to keep an eye on his current game style and go for punishes
- Don't attack him if he fails a dash attack if you're on the ground, since he either rapid jabs or ftilt you, wait.
- The best way to kill this guy is to use nair when he tries to recovery, since he's just bad in that area, but you first need to notice how far he was launched, and watch him go to his death without doing anything.
- Launching him is kinda hard, his rolls are amazing, his smashes just eats yours and he's fast, dtilt works well and nair is risky, but it also works, dash attack looks like the best answer, but is really hard to hit him with this.
- The most hard part here imo is trying to recover, Mac Dsmash kills you if you try to go for the ledge and if you try to take height, he charges his b-special and you're toast, the best thing you can do is try your best for gaining height and look out for him while you are on the air, Usmash will be your last thing you will see if you make a mistake (like trying egg throw near the ground or air-dodging).
- About his K.O Punch, a smart player will try to kill you on the first stock and later try to use it (mac can make percent easy, so is not that hard to use it), so how to deal with it? most will go with bair, but no, don't try it, also dont spam rolls, yoshi's rolls are bad, so, you're dead if you start doing them, best thing i think, is to caught him off guard and go with nair or egg lay.
And don't rage, yeah he is kinda stupid with his attacks, but it will be more stupid to rage and just go full offense.
If someone has notes against the good macs, please post them, it would help a LOT (myself included).
