So I've been playing melee competitively for about 4 months now, and I feel have somewhat good tech skill. Obviously not the best, but I can wavedash, l cancel, short hop, waveshine (I play Falco), and all of that. When I practice on my own, I feel like my movement is on point. I can do all of my tech, and I can fly across the screen. However, against other people, whether it be at a local or on netplay, my ability just disappears. I try to short hop laser, and i just hop and fast fall with no laser. I end up full hopping sometimes when I want to short hop. Hell, sometimes I feel like I slam the stick to the side as hard as possible, and I end up walking very slowly instead of dashing. I feel like mud is stuck on my characters feet and I feel like I'm stuck in place. This is really holding me back, as I feel the only reason I'm losing is because I can't react to anything even when I know whats coming. People combo me to oblivion because I just stand there and take the beating, and I feel like I can't do anything about it. Any help regarding this issue would be much appreciated, thanks.
