Hey guys!

I am a fairly new MK player - I played snake since brawls release, but I spent 8 hours gaming with M2K at tourny play 3 and it made me change my mind about MK. I've been playing him for a few months now I suppose, and everything is going great! I am finally not absolutely horrible with him.

Now, the top 3 brawl players in British Columbia are myself, a ROB/Kirby, and a Yoshi - before you get on me about one of the top brawl players here being a yoshi, let me just say that this kid wrecks people. Anyway - I would really like to pull ahead of these 2 other players; the yoshi gives me less trouble these days and I would say that I win the majority of matches - I also have better overall tournament placement than him. The problem is the bloody ROB player - I know we have a matchup advantage here, but he is seriously owning me recently.

I have just moved out on my own to help with the olympics, so I have quite a bit of spare time by myself, and I was wondering what I can do by myself in one player to improve my MK. I remember M2K saying to just practice against level 1 computers, so that's what I did all last week, and it was good enough to help me get second place in our 21 people tourny yesterday, but I want first!

I will be uploading the grand final vids sometime soon, so hopefully I can get more matchup advice, but basically I am asking on good ways to practice my MKs mechanics when I don't have any practice partners. Honestly, my button accuracy could be better, so just sitting there hitting buttons DOES seem to help me. I would really like to hit the pro bracket in the next Tourny Play, so please help me fellow MKs!

Thanks a lot guys!

Welcome man. I think you're supposed to post this in the social thread, but yeah. Welcome :D

Your best bet at the moment is to try and get those videos uploaded and get them critiqued in the critique thread. To improve, try and go round to other smasher's houses and smashfests as much as possible for practice. Wifi can help to an extent as well, and it's probably better then versing CPU's. Practice in training, get the hang of him, make sure it feels like second nature to do something. Learn what he can do to punish specific attacks either through experience or asking questions on the forum. And yes versing level 1's is good.

Next time, use the Q&A thread please

Thanks guys - I thought it would be too big of a post for the Q/A thread |

Since im already here I might as well add some things - my friend who plays marth has been told to do various practice techniques on stages like BF. He jumps, double fairs, SH nairs, jumps/uairs, drops through platform, retreating nair to ledge hog, for example.

Is there any type of training like this I can do?

What I would recommend doing is practice moving your thumb over the b button. If you do it well enough you should be able to hit the button with your right thumb in less than a second even if you're not actually holding your controller.

I play 3 level 9 computers at the same time. With team attack off and no planking (sometimes). That's how I get most of my practice, it actually helps more than wi fi for me.

Vids are up!

I have recently been practicing the claw grip (using pointer finger to hit jump) and I was wondering if I could get any pointers from anyone who has successfully turned over. I find it much easier to DI while in the air, aswell as preform fast fall Uairs, but I do not always know the best time to switch to claw - do I do it 100% of the time or no?

How long did it take to completely learn how to use it properly?

Any other info would be great, thanks.
