Extremely frustrated tonight (as in, I want to throw my controller at the TV). I keep going through everyone on my dash attack. My f-smash misses the short characters and goes right through the rest of the cast. I keep inputting sh > u-air but all I ever seem to get is u-smash. I air dodge my opponents ariels expecting to be rewarded with a punish of my own but then am greeted with a kick to the face before my attack gets to come out. Seems like the only option is to retreat to the ledge. What's worse is that I can tell some of these players are just mindlessly mashing jab while I'm trying to play smart but they are the ones that get rewarded. I try falling up-airs since that seems to be what you all recommend, but I get grabbed right in the middle of it. Also, jab1. My SHAD > ariels are always just out of reach of my opponent. I'm also regularly hit or grabbed before my dodge can even come out. D-air seems to get beaten by just about everything. I keep rolling unintentionally.
Everyone always talks about how for glory players are terrible, but I'm finding all these great players. Am I just that bad?
I really thought I was improving but after tonight, I'm not so sure. Perhaps maybe I am, and that may be why I'm starting to see all these glaring issues so clearly and it's now time to find workarounds to them.

I like to watch your vid to help ease the frustration. So thank you for that, and everyone else with a montage. I'm curious though. I love to play offensively and you said that's what you're playing style is starting to evolve into. Do you think you'd be able to post a few vids of complete matches so we can see it in action? The montages are nice but I think we can all learn a lot more when we see those kinds of combos in context. That goes for anyone else. I'm asking you @
DungeonMaster
only because you seem to have a really deep understanding of our character. And I commend you for that.
Anyways... Just need to get this off my chest.
