Ya know, I'm hearing you smash your controller like nuts but I don't see to many movements and your friend needs to learn how to ledge guard. Other then that your a pretty good player.

Do you think i have Pro Potential????
To be honest.... no, not at this moment. Being pro isn't something that you can describe as potential. It's more of something you earn by placing well at tournies which require experience and getting your name out there.

You have potential to be a good player, pro is a status that has to be 'earned' or dubbed on you by most of the community that will take the time to actually watch you. Which most of the community does not do since they look at people they already know are pros and not the potential new ones.

Most of the time anyway.

Do you think i have Pro Potential????
Just a few thoughts after watching the falco vid:

- you were playing FFAs
- you were playing with kids???
- button mashing by your opponent(s)
- way too many phantasms

for falcon:

no mindgames

Few people have the potential for becoming a pro. I don't see it from these vids. Still, why do you ask about potential? Do you want to feel good because you have the potential to be pro? Only you can decide whether you're pro material or not, and that happens through your actions. Are you going to ask people if you're a pro once you win a series of tournaments? Come on, don't ask pointless questions.

The harder and louder you press the buttons doesnt make you better. The only thing you're going get pro at is driving to best buy to purchase more controllers.

well. i'll be honest. i dont think you have pro potential right now. you need a lot of work. just mostly breaking bad habbits first. but sometime in the far future maybe....i mean we all could be pro's if we practice enough....well almost everyone.
but yur a good player. just keep working at it, and you'll get there

I know it has been said already but you mash the buttons way too much. I hear waay too much clacking and not enough moving. I don't think you have pro potential really. Are you really committed to it? You're better than average I'll give you that. But I see a lot wasted things, bad habits you might've formed by playing the same people over and over again. Tighten up your game, and just time the l-cancels right instead of mashing on it till you do. Oh and can't you record full matches?

To put it simple - Play. Better. People.


Seriously, not to be mean or anything, but your opponents are all terrible. Playing against them and noone else all the time could lead you into some very bad habits when you play against people on a competitive level. I'm currently going through something similar, as I played the same people for several months, then a few weeks ago, when I joined the competitive scene, I kept falling into some bad traps due to my countless mistakes. I still make mistakes, but slowly, I am learning from them.

You need to do the same. You need to take some time to find better people to play against Even if they consistently destroy you, play them, and you'll eventually start to learn.

A good way to practice that I've found is to play against Level 1 computers. Yes., I know they don't put up any fight, really, but that's actually helped me learn a lot as a smasher. It's a good way to practice tech skill. Just pick the character you want to use, go against a level one, and pratice things such as your wavedashing, wavelanding, SHL, L-cancelling, pillaring, etc.



I personally don't see any pro potential right now. Potential to perhaps become a good player, yes, but right now, nothing professional.

You've got work to do, but with time and practice, I'm sure you could probably improve.

Uhh...XD, I would seriously suggest getting that fixed (as in buying a new controller) before going to a tourney or doing a money match. That controller sounds like it's in baaaad shape.

uhh...some advice...focus a lot more on trying to hit the opponent. You looked like you were just trying to SHFFL every now and then and hope that they'd get hit. Not a good strategy. So yeah, focus a lot more on that. In fact, focus on your opponent a lot more in general.
