Shadowball2 vs Esh Peach-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6DmXJC7lD0
A full critique as promised for this match, Ill work on the other one soon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huan vs Esh peach
00-10s Dont let up your sheild. Peach was
uairing right in front of you and you let your
sheild go, thats a good way to get *****.
You seem a little rattled at this point in the
match.
At around 9 second you went for a shield grab,
there was no way in hell you were gonna grab
that uptilt. Decision making is what separates
good players from bad ones.
11-20s You came down with a fair which was good.
Tho you need to be careful about doing, you get
grabbed almost everytime if they get a shield
up. But then you kinda paused and fell off with
the upair. That was the right thing to do, but
it needed to be done faster. ledge cancel the
fair into that uair.
You got the downthrow and WDed forward to tech
chase the peach, which you cant do lol. Normally
you would be looking for a fair because the
peach will DI properly. If you get a chance, ie
they are close enough, AND there is a platform
nearby, you can nair in hopes to get them to
tech on a platform. In which case you can nair
again and look for another option.
21-40s Recovery-Peach was sitting at the edge
and you came very close and tried to bair. M2
should almost never bair that close. They have
to be a high percents for it to knock them fair
enough away to not hit you.
Once I saw you try to grab while you were above
peach, on the left platform. You should just
about never do this because most ppl will space
an aerial and you will get hit. M2 has a mid
tier grab range so its not little, but its not
easy to get grabs like a marth.
I dont know if you were trying to be cool, by
landing on the cloud, but m2 can teleport thru
ppl and shouldnt have a problem recovering at
all. AFter you did the rising bair you should
have teleported to the ledge and the if peach
commits to an attack you can use the
invincibilty frames to get the first hit of your
nair in. Against a good player you may need to
ledge stall more than once to get them to
commit.
40-1m You get the down throw, but you dont try
to follow it up with anything. Now it may not be
easy to do, but you have to wait and see how
they react. If anything, you should have shot a
baby shadow ball. That could have forced peach
to react(sheild, side step, roll, get hit and
fall from float) That increases your chances to
get a grab substantially. Definitely think about
the future and what you can get out of it.
After the downsmash you played a bit of back and
fourth and then you ran in with that Fsmash.
That was terrible. It looked as if you tried to
chase her trajectory with a smash attack, as if
downsmash to forwardsmash comboed?? o_0 M2s
forward smash is more like marths in terms of
uses. You try to hit with the tip, in which
ironically it does 20 damage. You can use it to
push somebody who is light shielding away, or
off a platform, or onto the ledge. Dont commit
to it unless you know its safe. Also ImO its
better against ppl who are in the air coming
down, or in certain edge guard situations. Id
rather hit a shield most of the time, because
its CCable to a very high percent, its not even
funny. It also has low knockback.
After you recovered again, ur spacing was decent
and the attempted uair follow up from the fair
was the correct one. But it makes both of you
look like noobs when you cant hit peach with
that uair and cant even get hit by the downsmash
either lol. You shouldnt have missed that 4
times in a row. Try jumping up, and wait for
them to do something, the double jump and throw
the aerial out there and fast fall. If possible
Id go for a nair because there is a greater
chance to follow up.
1m-1m40s Not really a bad thing, but after the
downtilt, you should have hit witht the uair as
the hitbox was coming up. Just below the bulb of
the tail is the sweet spot and can kill at those
percents. Against a fast faller you may do that
to trick their DI because they will not die off
the top at current percents.
That fair in which you both died should have
never happened. You gotta play it safe. If they
are at a high percent and you are at a low one
then maybe its worth it. But for the most part
its not safe. You had to jump wayyyyy 22222 high
to get it. most characters/players would have
already punished that approach and you would
have been the only one dying. LOOK FOR THAT
SWEETSPOT UAIR.
Trying to be like Kaostar with those cute little
moonwalks. Just know peach out prioritzes most
characters, m2 MORE EASILY, you dont really
wanna come at her from the air. Its slow and
your a huge targe. Its ok to hang in the air
around her to get her to commit and then you
stomp a nair. If she doesnt commit bail out with
teleport or fade back your DI.
Idk what it is with you in upsmash, at the wrong
time lol. Its hella good, but you gotta know how
to use it. Vman says you can do some dirt with
it oos but thats not my area of expertise. I
just WD into it because the hitbox is so big and
comes up from the bottom. Get that ledge for
that edge hog. Super ultra ninja cookies son.
Just make sure that you land your teleports
correctly. Id rather have only 4 frames of lag.
Make sure you enter the falling animation first.
1m40s-2m20s Watch out for aerial attacking. If
ur both in the air peach wins, unless you get
under her. That includes her standing on a
platform and you below. Watch out for her
Downsmash tho.
You picked it up a bit around here which is
good. Dash attack to grab, situational but you
got it so its all good.
After the down throw, with that DI I would have
gone straight for a downtilt, into a nair. PEach
could have punished you for trying to be cute.
and I mean on reaction. Literally just spamming
buttons and you lose that encounter.
That platform **** I didnt really like, Its too
punishable. She was wayyyy too close for that to
be safe. Use your teleport. I can show you some
teleporting tricks on this stage, Or you can
watch the lucky taj matches on that hackked
Wiii, mad sexy @taj.
When peach was rattled and air dodged like a
noob you went in for the upsmash. I use upsmash
cuz it has high priority, a long lasting muti
hitbox, and at the right percents can kill or
combo into itself or other moves. At that
percent Id say it was a bad choice, and you
missed. She air dodged so nair plus follow up or
fair would have been better.
The side B was inappropriate. It doesnt really
help you recover but it gives you a bit of a
stall. You shouldnt have used it because you
landed on the platform with it.
You should have teleported down to the ledge,
not tried to sweetspot up. Peach doesnt have a
huge smash that can get you for being kinda
close to the stage. but if you come straight up,
you can miss the sweetspot and get downsmashed
kinda like at 2:12.
You rolled up vs peach. M2s tail is right next
to peachs dress when you do that. You can get
downsmashed easily. And because you were over
100% it was the longer roll up which gives her
more time to react. Ledge stall a couple of
times and teleport past her. she isnt fast
enough to catch or punish you even if she
predicts it, if you make her commit anyway. Plus
you have the option of teleporting to the ledge
and then fading back with a bair and just going
over her to the other side or top platform.
2m20s-3m Lol I see you took my advice from about
two second b4. Good**** then, ur learning fast.
I like the punish on that downsmash. Grab was a
good choice. and the following upsmash was an
excellent choice as well. More so than an uptilt
because while downsmashing alot of peaches CC.
which means another upsmash or an uptilt if they
dont get knocked up. Upsmash does more damage as
well.
Trying to move around a bit more, which is good.
Just work on getting faster and being more
precise. You should be able to do really long
WDs and short ones. the Long ones should almost
get across FD using only 3.(if you dash and use
a bit of the slide after the WD)
I would have liked to see a follow up from that
downthrow, Basically you should be aggressive if
you can do it safely. On a good peach, ur
options are more limited, but in this situation
I would have WD and hit her with the
upsmash/uptilt/nair. Charged upsmash may kill.
She landed on the platform, so you could have WD
and charged the upsmash.
That last bit after you died was pretty good.
Just practice and get more consistent and more
control.
3m-3m338s You probably could have gotten that
grab if you reacted fast enough, but if
anything. Cover your feet. Light sheilding
peachs downsmash is excellent for m2 if you are
trying to get away. M2s low traction allows a
far slide. You would have grabbed the ledge and
could have punished her next move or just gone
back to the stage. More importantly you avoid
damage.
The last little bit was nice. you came down and
shot that shadowball2 lol DD and moved around.
Got that low percent kill off the upsmash.
Questions?
I'm gonna spend some time reading and rereading it. I detest peach vs mewtwo, but her peach is better than her mario and i promised her that i'd have something with her up there. (Esh is my buddy Duo's 14 year old sister who i'm teaching to play.) really it's the matches against Duo I like better, i don't pull many punches though i still make errors. (hey i'm not one of you godly mewtwo players... which is why critques are so welcome )
