Good matches! All I noticed was that you could space more with F-airs, but other than that your MK is pretty much solid.

Thanks you guys. I'll keep the fairs in mind.
I kind of noticed it myself when trying to edgeguard him, but you guys noticing that tells me I need to fix it.
So I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks

Agreed.
Also my cape usage isn't very good yet lol. :)
I'm not focusing on it too hard because I really believe it's gonna get banned entirely, but I'm still trying to put it some-what into my game in case we do have the opportunity to use it.

fairs wont make his mk better. the problem is everyone thinks his fair is his best move and that you can WoP it. wrong, the kids fine with his fairs thats not what he needs to work on. his overuse of dairs and uairs are good, the more you use them the better. for any of you ignorant MKs, the toon link hes playing is considered by the toon link boards to be one of the best toon links out there. fairs arent the best approach to a good toon link. santi doesnt use the zair much, but if you play a toon link that uses the zair effectively, MKs fair is toast. youve got a stereotypical MK, not a sucky wildly aggressive noob MK, but a usual skilled MK. not an m2k, omni, or forte MK, but a good one. theres alot you could do to improve your game, but youre fine, keep up the practice and just play smart.

shears is right. vs a toon link approuch with dair more then fair. the rest he said is stupid. lol in most situations a fully charged or non decayed dair can kill at the ledge, off stage gameplay is insane with mk. lol

No, he's pretty right about everything. An amazing MK can just edgeguard well enough without nondecayed moves.

Secondly, I would consider myself a solid good player. But not great, or nowhere close to it. I understand I have alot to work on... I just dont know how to get to the next level. :(

I didn't know Dair was the useful... I guess I should incorporate it into my play.

You're really good at edgeguarding.

grab a metaknight stone and evolve at lv 50? btw how can i incorporate the dairs to be effective because when i do them against my opponents they either spot dodge/air dodge them or just shield block :\ how can i make mine unpredictible?

Man dojo ive seen this matchup about 50 times. I think by watching all these dojo v santi vids i got the TL matchup down.

Haha yeah... Santi is really all I get to play outside of tourney so it's all we can really get up. He plays marth too, but he's really been focusing on his TL which is getting wayyy better...

If you know your opponent will air dodge when you try to D-air gimp him, use that fact to your advantage.

When edgeguarding your opponent, get close enough where he thinks you'll D-air and wait for him to air dodge, THEN D-air him after he air dodges.

Also try to switch this up with N-air; works wonders.

i haven't been here in a while but i'll start off by saying Dojo you are so noob, your taunting needs so much work, its the part of the game you seem to have entirely forgot. haha but anyays, looking good as always, imo you should finish that u air chain with a shuttle loop, it works wonders, also pivot grab, everyone needs to pivot grab, no one does it, it will increase your game and seriously take whatever characer you play to a new lvl
very nice over all i enjoyed the vids,

props to the TL, hes really good, i think he needs to go for that dair spike more tho, they are always SOOOO satisfying

well i have watched most of your matches dojo. they are good, but i do not think they are "great" persay. you are very, very predictable and it can be a huge downfall. it seems primitive at times.

I watched your replays against hyli, and he read you like a book. You need to mix up your game a bit more. The best mk's i have seen, are in toronto. they ripped apart the huge tournament i went to. About 80 + people were in it and there were only like 5 people from toronto and 3 of them were in the top 4.

there is a much, much better way to play mk. There is a lag-free way to play mk, since he is not entirely lag free. Which i wont reveal just yet.

Lolz, the fact that I'm not great has been established. I'm a work in progress and have so much to improve on. I realize that thank you.

Hyli owns. Enough said.

Hooray for Toronto, but M2K is undoubtedly the best MK. Of course there is a better way to play MK. Hence why, I'm not great. Just decent.


weren't you gonna upload some more yesterday?

I was but the STD didn't happen. Maybe today, I'll try. Sorry for the delay.

hyli is good, but he can be beaten, he isnt the best. I actually really dont find anything to special about m2k's mk. It doesnt look all that good tbh.

Lolz. Of course hyli can be beaten. But he's an excellent player, and more skilled than I was. The difference gap between videos and real life gameplay is huge. NOTHING looks nearly as good on video. Play M2K, and you'll understand...
