One of the best ways to improve is to continue practicing and to take advice from those more knowledgeable then yourself. I make this thread with that exact thought in mind.

Videos are posted in order (Bottom is most recent) by the date the fight was on. All videos are online matches. I think I show improvement in the later videos...

Vs. Fox. Includes death by grounded Waddle Dee...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xepBJxFvIf0
Online Teams (Not sure I should have included this one since teams is a different style, second half I'm Sonic so that can be ignored.) DK Abuse woo >.>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0Zvv8PpoSY
Vs. Pit. Woo stage mechanics >.> I'd probably have been screwed if he arrow spammed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMNq5z2oRB0
Vs. Kirby. Clobber dat dere Kirbeh (Couldn't resist)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKltPSSXs1U
Vs. Ike. Not very extraordinary like some others I've recorded...

NEW

Vs. Luigi. Wifi lag hates me when I try to chain grab. My first stock I was being stupid <.<

Vs. Luigi. Probably my best vid to date. Wifi hates my chaingrabbing still.

Things I think I should probably work on. Pivoting into B-Airs more often. Trying to roll dodge less. Probably could use Inhale to stop approaches more often. Relying less on F-air to edge guard. Canceling up-b more often... Facing the correct way when attempting Dededecides <.< Chaingrabs... I'd say I think my biggest problem is just how I move in general...

I'm working on getting vids up more often, so I may have more to critique within the next week. Any and all (competent) advice is appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.

Quit throwing out so many smash moves. Wont work that well in real matches and against better opponents. Although, this is piece of crap WIFI so it's understandable I guess.

I try not to, I really do. I think its just the way lag registers tilts... I swear half the time I'm barely tilting and expect a neutral to go off, then he goes into f-smash animation and I'm just like "wtf". I think I might change the C-Stick to tilts, I'm kind of tired of getting punished for doing an attack I didn't mean to do -.-. I only really try to do Down Smash when people are rolling a lot.

I'd like to play in tournaments in person, but my job gets in the way and I don't ever hear of many tournaments in Ohio to begin with =/

im right there with you...

i see people every weekend..."wTf iz 4 tIlTz"

knowing when to tilt...and when to smash is very important...it will take time using ddd to be able to distinguish the two...

other then that...

the multiple jumps are unnecessary...and usually got you punished in the video

you sometimes used the same move consecutively at inappropriate times...to keep your opponent guessing try to open up ddd's move set a little more

practice practice practice

I'm not great with DeDeDe, but like aforementioned, you have to use more of his moveset. You aren't using many aerials. His Bair is by far his most deadly move due to its speed and power. And try to DI your Waddle Dees a bit, it might help.

Wasn't expecting this to be bumped back up <.< I've been getting a few more vids up though so I suppose I'll update my main post... Currently only ones a Dedede vid though. I'm working on converting another to post so I should have another in an hour or so.

Thanks for the advice thus far though. Hopefully I'll get some vids of me at a tournament I'm going to in the near future.
