Horrible pac...just horrible, quit smash now ^.^....but on a serious note, why didn't you record some of your matches against lozr?

 

[PacStrife]

I'm in Durham right now man and Adam is far away I'm afraid. I will get some matches against him up eventually I'm sure, but right now I'm having to learn how to fight sheiks

u got good use of spacing ur self with wavedashing, but thats not good enough when u go a level higher. ull need to use dash dancing to space ur self most of the time, since its much quicker, and u can cover more distance back and forth using it. falcon's approaches are mainly aerials and grabs, so dash dancing doesnt hinder falcon's approaching skills at all. however some other characters it does, since they rely on ground attacks, which is where wavedashing should come in play. however, wavedashing is so crappy compared to dash dancing for falcon, so try using that more.

try not approaching with dair too much, it is a very good combo starter, but it has much more lag and has no priority compared to other aerials, so when approaching the opponent, it results in over-prioritized counter attack, or shield grab.

u werent too bad in turtling in ur shield, but its not good to do it, i only remember seeing it once, and u sat in ur shield when sheik was falling in the air for so long. i would say its better to dash dancing out and back in after sheik's lag time. maybe its more efficient against other characters, but if sheik was smart, she would just fast fall and grab u, rather than using her aerial, or aerial, then dodge.

also against sheiks, and mostly id say every other character, edgegaurding with dsmash is really, really bad. it doesnt affect any character who sweetspots the ledge, and especially against sheik, she has her invincibility frames that protect her. u did a good job on the other edgegaurding against sheik, where ur suppose to grab the ledge and knee her when she goes past u, but u should be trying to do that all the time. so charging ur dsmash doesnt help very much.

also with falcon, his recovery is utmost crap out of a donkey's anus. seriously, hes so bad, u just gotta make up for it, by doing so u gotta perfect ur sweetspotting skills, i saw twice where u tried getting the ledge, and u popped up half ur body over the ledge, which resulted u in getting hit away again. also while ur at it, u should try practicing ledge tech wall jumps.

other than that, u got a good grasp and good speed on falcon, maybe a little more grabbing and nair approaches, and ud do a lot better.

happy smashing.

i think tyson said it all. but your not bad not bad at all.

 

[PacStrife]

Ok, thanks tyson I will work more on my dash dancing and approaches. As far as the down smashes go...... well i don't know lol. it just seemed like the right move? Oh well i stopped doing those now as i think i got all of 0 kills from them Thanks!

 

[Tyson651]

oh and on the side note,

against other characters other than sheik, if they try to sweetspot it, and u dont have the time to grab the ledge, u can crouch cancel to dtilt, and at percentages around 100% it pops them up very nicely for an easy knee KO.

and after doing aerials, such as uair, nair, or fair, (when they shield it) u can throw in a jab or two, to prevent shield grabbing, and grab them, or just knee after a jab.
