My Luigi will be plastered all over this channel:

@Blayd: Pretty sure Luigi Bair > Fox bair in terms of range, so you can probably space it against him, though I suck at that matchup so i'm probably not the most qualified to give advice on it :p

If you have trouble turning around practice dashdancing until you can wd/jump in any direction at a moments notice.

Here's some vids of my Luigi from a recent weekly, I'd like to get some critique if possible.

Just some general stuff.

Work on spot dodging less. Times you were punished for it.
-Against RUN Dmx: 4:10, 4:36
-Against Spire Fan: 2:40

Also roll less. Times you were punished for it.
-Against Run DMX: 3:44, 3:46, 5:13
-Against Spire Fan: 3:37
*Don't roll to your opponent ever. Especially when you're in the center of stage. Instead work to hit your opponent off stage and command space from the center. It's okay to roll through your opponent to get to the center of the stage though.
-Against Spire Fan: 7:08

Observe your opponent more and give yourself time to react. Don't commit to a plan early and lose time from being surprised when your plan doesn't work.
It's like rock, paper, scissors. Let your opponent throw out paper first and then you can react to it with scissors.

-Against Run DMX: 4:16 stay where you were Falco had limited options of where to land and would have landed more closely to where you were.
-Against Run DMX: 3:00 You wavedashed and full hopped nair after your opponent(Falco) had just rolled to the side and dropped off the platform. I saw what you were going for but it depended on the opponent staying there.
-Against Run DMX: 5:43 Falco fell too quickly for you to hit him with an up air.
-Against Spire Fan: 7:42 Follow up with an aerial instead of a smash.

Practicing your spacing:
-Against Run DMX: 4:03, 6:23,
-Against Spire Fan: 6:35,7:30

Don't approach with a tornado from far distances. It won't work most of the time. It's more surprising to do it at short distances and gives your opponent less time to react to it.

Keep at it. Your tornado recovery is good. I can tell you were a bit nervous but with more experience in matches you'll do better. Fight more people that are better than you so you can learn more.

Edit:
Keep in mind that the green missile(side b) gets more lag time the more you charge it. Use short bursts of it to move the stage if you are high up and off stage. It also increases the chance getting a misfire.

Besides sding/doing down b too much on the 3rd match, what else was i doing??
It seems like in the match up, you get hit once, you're off stage and hoping not to get hit my a missle.

I have two matches here from me playing netplay before (I am going to try to get some games of me not playing on netplay sometime). I am really trying my hardest right now to get really good at this game (studying videos, reading material, watching other peoples match analysis's, etc.) so any help I can get would be very appreciated (currently though I am really, *REALLY* bad, and these videos might be hard too watch...):

Sorry that the first one is such bad quality, the second one is a lot better. Right now in this game I am just trying to get my fundamentals down and I am more specifically currently trying to position myself better in games (not over-extended, keep middle stage, and so on), but I am aware I didn't do that that well in these games.
