You lose because you f***ing suck.........only kidding.

If I saw you jump into his tornado one more time, I would have punched a baby.
Also, phantasming onto the stage....don't do it that often.

You should be able to get a full hop spike out of the CG to set up into other combos for more damage than dash attack up smash. Some of your approaches were reckless too. Be a bit more careful. You're pretty good; A few more matches of you getting punished for being too aggressive should do the trick.

As mentioned, you being so aggressive was a bit of a problem. You do SHL all well and good camping but then let MK come to you and maybe spot dodge to a D-smash or a grab. Also as mentioned, the chaingrab to the gattling combo... I personally like to chain grab to a spike, walk back a bit and do a forward smash, if you can predict if/which way your opponent will roll out of it.
Other than that, I think you're pretty good. Maybe don't phantasm out of the SHL like you did 3-4 times, can't recall it working even once... He normally approached and grabbed or smashed.

I think you were approaching too much. Let MK do the approaching and stop jumping right into his attacks, especially tornado.

Don't mistake recklessness for something that's aggressive. Reckless is jumping into ****, i.e. a tornado that's already going. Aggressive is pushing and pressuring by being in positions that eliminate the opponents options.

He quit ROB because it's easier to win with MK
I think he's still pro-ban though
He's in fact the instigator of the pro-ban side, he hates the fact that he's better with MK than with ROB despite never practicing MK.

About the phantasm into tornadoes, i was trying something that i thought would make the battle easier, i saw my friend light do it once so i kept trying to phantasm on the top of the tornado to stop it. But i guess it doesnt always work =/
