Budget Player Cadet_
Smash Hero
So I play with this friend of mine a lot (plays DDD and G&W). And he wants to become good, and wants me to teach him. Unfortunately, he gets completely ***** by me every time and has grown to resent playing against me. Even with automatic handicap going up a long way, he has trouble against my snake, metaknight, luigi, and even G&W. So he doesn't want to play with me that much; he only really wants to do teams against CPUs (no 3rd and 4th players around ). And he can **** the **** out of lvl9s. It's just that a lvl9 falco won't SHDL you to death or CG you, DDD won't infinite you, G&W won't Dthrow->Dsmash, and don't get me started on snake.
The issue is not just that he needs to learn. He has some basics down, but really needs practice on ATs, punishing, and above all shielding. He can't block to save his life, forget about airdodge, roll, spotdodge and PS. But how do I teach these things? The AT's are no problem. I can show him the DDD CG and he'll get it sooner or later. But I can't teach him how to punish all that well. I mean, I even try with toon link and the dair. How does he respond? He runs away and goes back to waddle dee camping. How 'bout a little punishment? This guy can't even shieldgrab effectively.
How can I teach him this if he doesn't like playing against me?
Also, on a related note, how do I teach myself spacing? I enjoy playing with marth, but I'm really bad at spacing.
