First off, if you want your olly rated...we need wins AND losses, not just matches that make you look good
...while I think its obvious that you play a good olly, you know, we know it, everyone knows it, lets skip to the stuff that really matters.
Things to Improve:
1) Your tilt game was very Hot/Cold - Against Dannykat in particular - when you fought his Marth, I was seeing dtilt into upair (I would have like to see you follow this with up b) and some jabs, ftilts, they all looked really really good. But then against his snake, you resorted to pikmin throws, upsmash, dsmash, and the tilt game got left behind and he almost caught up with you b/c of it. Along with this is the grab game - sometimes you were absolutely perfect, and some times you left me wanting more dthrow, fair, dthrow, upsmash, uair, up b :D...however, I did see a dthrow, pivot grab - that made me smile :D.
2) Whistling/Pikmin order - I rarely saw you do whistle for SAF or to get pikmin throws...you throw pretty well overall, would like to see purple with more arc, white on the ground - but your style is your own, I understand that. However, if you have 2 whites or 2 purples etc... in the chain, I want to see you whistle to white/purple/whatever, and throw them in repitition and follow that up with some form of attack to keep them on. ex - whistle to white - throw all white pikmin on enemy, charge them with shield grab or hyphen smash...its lose lose for them. If they get the pikmin off, they get hit, if they shield, its free damage, and 2 white pikmin being left on can get you 50 free damage.
3) Recovery Tactic 1 - goes with Whistling - I saw multiple times where you are falling off the ledge and have a purple pikmin in your arsenal - a couple times I saw you throw a single pikmin (non purple) then up b...sometimes I saw just an up b - if you have a purple, it is vital to keep track of your whistles and then throw that chubby and knock them off the ledge - only good things happen here - if you hit them and then up b - i've seen multiple edge spikes that wouldn't have happened if they would have rolled as you up b.
4) Edge Recovery 2 - if you don't have a purple - you must do a fair or uair to knock the opponent off the ledge EVERYTIME YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH. This not only gets free damage - especially if combined with pikmin throws beforehand, but your opponent will think twice about ledgeguarding next time, and if they don't edgeguard, olly has a HUGE advantage in almost any matchup.
5) The final tip I have is that I feel your edgeguarding needs work, I'll use the example of Dannykat's Marth. When he went off the edge - as with any Marth - you should be doing fsmashes off the edge - angled right at the point where the Marth would hold on - if they ledgehop - you can hit them with the fmash - if they wait, they get hit, if they roll, simply dmash or grab, and if they jump - upsmash or get more pikmin - I thought that some golden opportunities were wasted.
Sorry if you just wanted to hear how good you are :D...but to be honest, this wouldn't be a true critic unless I gave you some props so here it is...You are very very solid - your core is there and there are periods when you look unbeatable - easily in my top 10 olly's that I've watched videos of - I will watch more tomorrow and if you post more I will comment more - I think that since True has been absent (wherever he went :D) The olly forums have slowed down on video help. On that note, any viewing of my vids on the first page would be kindly appreciated :D.
BIG P.S. I played online when I first got Brawl and actually played a lot of the same people that you showed...however, the lag got unbearable and eventually started to do great damage to my offline game (what matters to me personally)...so my question to you is, has the online gotten any better and does the .5 - 1 second button lag still exist?
Great vids - keep em coming - don't be afraid to put losing vids up!!
