I just went to a big tournament this weekend and placed decently enough going mainly Lucario and D3 against this random Marth. I played way way campy, and he would have won if Brawl wasn't terrible. Too much spot dodge and roll for my taste.
I got 17th out of around 80 people that were there, and placed highest in my group of friends. YAY!
I'll place higher, I just need to work on my fiery blue friend.
I only lost to a good Metaknight and a good ROB.
I didn't catch on fast enough, but the meta was using mach tornado at the beginning to get some free damage, and then spot dodge dsmash for knock away and the kill. It was too fast, and I couldn't find anything to punish it with. Also, spacing close enough to Meta is nearly impossible thanks to his broken dash attack and dash grab range. Too fast, too close. I took it to the last match high stock though, so I'm happy.
The Rob was hard, and he did the same thing basically. Keep away with projectiles, Robs gyro kept stopping my AS, and his Usmash is way too fast for how strong it is. He kept doing spot dodge dsmash, but I think I could have DI'ed out and punished with Dair. Anyone else verify this? That was the main pattern he followed, so he might have run into trouble had I thought far enough ahead and punished it.
Does anyone else think this matchup is hard or not even?
Also, I hate Marth. I need help with that matchup.
ALso also, I need to practice the chaingrab against snake, does someone have an instructional video about it?
