Hey guys. So as you can probably tell by the title, I want to main Villager, but have a lot of questions. First, a little backstory: I played brawl some, but never competitively or at a high level at all, so this is my venture into competitive smash territory. I’ve played Smash 4 at a friend’s house some (I’m getting it with the Wii U bundle on Black Friday), and Villager is a character that really appeals to me and I like playing.
Now for the questions: What is the best controller setup? I know that tap jump should be turned off and the c-stick should be set to attack, but other than that I’m lost. I’ve heard things about using L, R, or Z as jump. This seems a lot better than the regular X and Y, which makes it awkward to have to move my thumb all the way down to the c-stick after pressing the jump button to perform aerials. I end up using A+direction to use aerials when jumping with X/Y, because it feels more natural. I haven’t played smash competitively before, so I should be able to adjust pretty easily to a new controller setup.
How do I practice/get better at shielding? As of now, I am awful at utilizing shield, and will instead roll way too much. This is obviously something that I need to fix, but how do I practice it?
What is the best way to practice playing? I know that I’ll have to keep on practicing to get better, but how should I go about doing it? CPU’s? A leveled up amiibo? Or just online for glory? I know that practicing the fundamentals (which is something I will definitely need to work on) can be done in training mode, but I’m not sure how to practice putting them into action. That’s pretty much it, or atleast what I can think of right now. When I get the game, and practice enough to the point that my gameplay isn’t pitiful, I’ll upload a video to get some feedback on what I need to improve on. Sorry for the tl:dr, but thanks to anyone who helps me out.
