Need improvement?

[Pimpsta_Nsane]

I've been to some big Tourneys here and there, play on MLG and do tons of friendlies agianst some really experienced players, but for some reason, I feel my gameplay is missing something. A gap that could be filled with something so awesome, it would improve my overall playing ability a hundred fold.

I'd say you have quite a few gaps you could fill in, I'd start with those. Read on the boards, practice things your not good at, play new opponents (your opponents are about as bad off as you, and the best way to learn is to play opponents better than you.) If your serious about improving, wipe clean what you think you know right now. Start by making use of all the information already available, don't ask for your own private coaching until you are using everything mentioned already in posts very well in games.

I'm sorry, your right. Shouldn't of bothered to post.

I'll keep working on my Olimar man.

Peace

everything TrueRedemption said goes with what you should improve on... if your going to get butt hurt because he gave you some criticism (the whole reason you posted) then you should reconsider your ego and move on, or leave

also your opponents skill was pretty bad, that marth was 100% predictable with his attacks and most of the time the fox just stood there and took your punishment

Hmm, I'm sorry if my post made me appear "butt hurt", but I ment what I said. I shouldn't of posted without looking around smashboards first. I'm a poor Olimar player, I admit that, and all of my family/freinds aren't that experienced, I admit that, but I'm going to keep trying to get better, and I'm going to take full advantage of what people on SWF have been kind enough to share.

I can't give advice if you remove the videos!

Yeah man, they were trash vids anyway . I'll put some videos on Youtube again after a little more practice

if you want advice, it's just as good to put up matches where you don't do as well - it's difficult to pick out your tendencies in games where you dominate

you're already asking for help, there is no reason to be embarrassed for what you perceive as 'poor play'; you aren't here to show off

Yeah, to be honest, all I came here to post for was just that. Advice. And my matches weren't complete domination either, infact, I probably would of lost to LEONA if he didn't kill himself at the end.

Oh, and I'm not embarrassed about my "poor play" at all, I'm just not afraid to admit it. After all... it's just a video game.

hey hey now.. the quality was great and the music you added made it enjoyable to watch untill then end

and what you have to improve on isnt really that difficult

Aerials
Short Hopping
Spacing
Move degradation
Approach
Mind Games
Pikmin order
Pikmin differences

-aerials and sort hop go hand in hand (such as SH f-air or d-grab SH u-air second jump f-air[pending DI])
-move degradation, basically dont spam one move and take advantage of all the great olimar attacks
-pikmin order and differences (for smashes and aerials) go hand in hand with spacing imo (knowing when and how to use/spam forward-b) and pretty much everything
-approach takes time, pending skill level and opponent types... this also semi-goes with mind games
