okay I just watched game one. Im gonna assume the Snake got that utilt he really wanted and won lol.
GAME 1
:26 - You kinda just let him place that dsmash instead of running up and trying to interrupt him/punish his lag
:36 - you got hit by the very, imo, obvious ftilt and got pushed offstage. Now it starts...
:37-:45 - You fell for the Rain of Mortars. I used to have this problem hardcore. Just recover low, grab the ledge, and react from there otherwise you will get ***** by ftilt and mortars.
1:01 - usmash wasn't appropriate here, imo. I usually only use usmash if I time it to hit them after they AD, and he was just too low here.
1:10 - don't be afraid to stop DBing if he rolls, although I'm not sure if you had the time to react here.
1:15 - again, mortars are **** but you kinda jumped into that one. Go low
1:25 - Stop rolling lol. Walking places = pro and probably would have netted you some damage here
1:29 - You tried to grab when a DB would have done fine and got punished for it
1:50 - You know that Snake loves to approach with his shield, and you know that this guy does too, so why did you try to DS? Luckily he didn't punish correctly -_-
1:55 - how does he keep rolling like that? lol
2:08 - you got shield pressured. Hardcore. This shouldn't happen to any Marth. Reverse DS OoS or shielddrop DB would have worked well here, but you just rolled away in panic.
2:11 - that was fancy and all, but you're lucky that worked. Walk away to fsmash would have sufficed.
2:44 - I'm pretty sure you could have used dtilt's IASA frames to do SOMETHING here, even just walk away, but you got shieldgrabbed.
2:50 - L 2 DI nub! Nah, but seriously, you can DI Snake's nair. Learn how.
3:21 - Again, the shield approach was obvious, but you still DS'd
3:33 - you reacted before it was right to, and he punished you by DIing different to ftilt
4:00 - why in God's name did you roll? And right in front of him while you're at it?
From this game I can tell that you roll way too much, and you don't walk. You need to walk. Walking is amazing. You also had a hard time killing him because you failed to do simple things like walk away from him/stutter step back and fsmash, or dsmash, you just went for moves that don't kill. You also had trouble recovering. Recovering low is pro for Marth, especially against someone like Snake who harasses you while staying on stage. You also jumped into some dumb stuff, i.e. that C4 kill and a couple ftilts, and failed to punish some stuff properly, i.e. his approaching habits. You kept the pressure well at some parts but at other parts you just let him camp, and thus take control. You need to make more use of your tilts, and FF your aerials in the actual fight, not just in between stocks XP
Second one coming up
GAME TWO
:49 - I don't think DS was the best option here, due to that mortar
1:10 - C4 you say? I think you know your mistake here
1:20 - Why do you keep rolling and such to reset the situation?
1:59 - you keep going for a usmash, but you could have easily grabbed a stock from an fsmash here.
2:18 - if you DS in the middle of BF, Marth always lands on the top platform, and I find Snake can't really punish you there. FFing wasn't needed
3:07 - Rolling got you *****
3:45 - Save a kitten - don't dair on stage
3:55 - you reacted inappropriately here. You had many OOS options but failed to use them at the appropriate time, but luckily BF is ****.
The campfest/flashfest that follows - Yeah, stop trying to get flashy kills, and stop rolling into his ftilt. You're lucky it wasn't killing you/he wasn't punishing you
All in all you made the same mistakes, so I won't really analyze them here.
OVERALL
Overall you have a decent Marth. You need to stop rolling so much and start walking. Walking is amazingly sexy and you can do anything out of a walk. Rolling is horrible, and leads to you getting punished. Pretty much fix the things I stated in your Game 1 analysis and you'll be doing fine. Stop trying to do flashy things, also. I know it was friendlies and all but I'm analyzing this like I would a tourney match. You also shouldn't let him get up to ridiculous percents like he was. I know Snake is heavy, but over 200 is just where you should be saying "alright, wtf am i doing?" Work more fsmash into your game, and I can't believe I just ****ing said that. You set up some nice juggle traps, and your spacing was pretty good. You were also able to keep pressure fairly consistently.
- More Walking
- Less Rolling
- More tilts (every time lulz)
- Stop trying to be flashy
- Understand your OoS options better
- Learn to read your opponents obvious stuff better
- Punish things
- Don't do really punishable things
- Don't just let him camp you
- Don't let him live until ridiculous percents, incorporate more kill moves
I don't really feel like doing Game 3, sorry XD
