The Smash 64 Video Critique Thread ~ post your videos for strategy/advice/tips =D

[asianaussie]

Was gonna do more critique but ciaza literally covered more than half my points

General techskill stuff - z-cancels, aerialing and missing edge grabs, sweet spots, some missed techs (but i'm sure this isn't really that huge a concern)
Edgehogs are good vs samus, forces her to recover onto stage, letting you edgehop d-air > pivot f-smash or something - do be wary of being up-b'd while edgehogging though
Actively tech - seemed like your teching was rather predictable, jaime punished you a lot for it
Be aware of hitboxes - a lot of the time you threw out empty f-airs and b-airs that wouldn't have hit even if samus was moving right at you
Don't falcon punch edgeguard unless you are truly a boss

Not a bad falcon there, just a little bit of oversight, plus you were playing jaime, who was playing a hard-to-combo character anyway.

Would do specific times, etc but I'm in a lecture atm

 

[SSBPete]

missed a few z-cancles and tech rolls, and even when you did tech roll they were fairly predicatble.
when recovering, try to sweetspot OR at least DI off those bombs jaime puts right on the edge of the stage.
even DI-ing out of those up-b's can be really useful because it leaves samus defenceless.
pretty decent, going up against jaime aint easy.

Lmfao. That was beast as ****.

 

[sharksquail]

Gotta keep it fresh with the falcon game or it just gets boring.

Haha. That was so weird and funny

 

[King Funk]

I approve of this.

 

[SSBPete]

new form of tech chasing?

 

[Nemesis Warfare]

Hope this isn't in the wrong topic. (Honestly I didn't trey to hard to find one.) But I was wondering what the best way would be to film actual games of SSB64 on the console??? Thanks. :D

 

[Battlecow]

The ****ty way is just to get a video camera and focus it on the screen real perfectly. But that's ****ty.

The cool kids get a capture card. Look it up. IDK any more than that maybe OTHER PEOPLE do

the correct place for this would probably be the "ask a Q get an A" thread

 

[TANK64]

so I could use some Link advice, for now against Yoshi, and in the future against fox especially. I'll try getting another vid of me against Fox.

[SuPeRbOoM]

Throw more **** at Yoshi. Try to keep in safer spots than just on ground level vs yoshi, like using the platforms.

Doing close combat fighting with Yoshi is soooooooo risky as Link.

tl:dr
camp

 

[asianaussie]

More boomerangs needed, make him come to you. You're running into neutral territory too much, Yoshi is much better at punishing from random neutral hits than you are. U-Smash less, only if techchasing. Time F-Airs better and use them defensively if needed.

Dunno what to say, Sheer's Yoshi is, in a sense, completely different to the Yoshis I've played.

 

[The Star King]

Short hop towards Sheer crouching and jump again with a dair

Sheer will jump into it every time

Pro advice right there

Spoiler

Except now he'll probably stop. Well, at least don't aerial him when he's obviously going to parry your ****.

 

[felipe_9595]

Any opinions about this???

[SheerMadness]

WTF don't throw **** at Yoshi. Have some manners.

Ohhh Star Noob. It's pretty easy to tell when someone is trying to bait my parries. Pretty easy to adapt to it too.

 

[TANK64]

Thanks guys, I'll definitively be trying all those.

 

[The Star King]

Then why does it work so much against you? PWNED

 

[Olikus]

I like the constant rivalness between sheer and starking. You guys should hit each others up irl with some boxing gloves. =D

 

[The Star King]

Rivalness? We're BEST BUDDIES

Seriously though, if I constantly tease/talk trash about someone it probably means I like them. Wut

 

[SheerMadness]

Does not work. I don't even play Yoshi vs your link.

Looks like you were dreaming again.

 

[The Star King]

You have in the past, buddy.

 

[Hiphiphooray]

Hey, I was hoping for some advice on how I can improve. I recorded myself playing a few games with my mains:

Falcon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyHP919fyI
Pika: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uyHP919fyI#t=2m33s

Any tips on how i can improve and what i should practice doing would be great.
thx

 

[NovaSmash]

u should play online with other people

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

Like I said in the other thread: When you play vs human players, people will critque you then.

 

[Hiphiphooray]

I'm capped at 1Mbps upload speeds so online play is pretty rough for me. If anyone knows a way to play online with < 1Mbps upload speeds that would be awesome!

 

[NovaSmash]

my upload speed is 0.20Mbps and i can play online fine with no lag. If ur laggin its probably because of ur router or something else

 

[DMoogle]

I'm capped at 1Mbps upload speeds so online play is pretty rough for me. If anyone knows a way to play online with < 1Mbps upload speeds that would be awesome!

SSB online takes very little bandwidth. I think it's like 5-10KB/s. So if you're having problems, it's not your bandwidth.

 

[Hiphiphooray]

I'm connected via eithernet to my router and then to my cable box. Could the problem be here?

I'm not sure what could be wrong, but i consistently get lagspikes, around 19-24 a game. Its just annoying being suck around 50-55 FPS.

 

[Neon!]

I'm mostly a Brawl player but I've been absolutely loving 64 recently. Here's a vid of me playing my brother. Feel free to critique!

[ballin4life]

Fox should shoot more lasers.

Falcon needs to combo better. More uairs.

 

[asianaussie]

Ignoring the lack of lasers, Fox could do his raw spacing a little better. B-Airing into Up-Bs is a no-no. Also, get your teching/Z-cancels etc down-pat. It's already rather good, but I saw some missed techs and a missed Z-cancel that could have led to a punish > KO. Learn to make small walking movements after things like jabs.

Falcon could definitely combo better. He has to learn when to follow up with U-Airs and the like.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but was this a video chosen from a selection of recordings which made you look better than the others did? I get that feeling for some reason.

 

[Neon!]

my brother (cf) doesnt play this game competitively but is pretty good, ive gotten better since this but yeah it was taken from a group of recordings

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

Not bad for just picking up the game.

 

[The Star King]

Try fsmash/dsmash when Falcon is recovering from below.

 

[Neon!]

Thank you everyone I appreciate the feedback.

 

[TANK64]

Alright people. Advice!

Link vs Fox (Dreamland)
http://youtu.be/fx18y89pROg

 

[asianaussie]

i saw the stage, paused the video and came back to say that this matchup sucks ***

it's a friendly, so there's not a huge amount i can say...your link is similar to mine in a lot of ways...d-tilts, hookshots and jabs where they should not be lol

not enough projectiles, even though it's against fox
when you up-b to hit them (as opposed to sweetspotting) consider sweetspotting instead, since link's up-b has a wtfhuge hitbox which goes through the stage anyway
up-b out of shield is an option vs fox (not a good one, but still)
personal thing, not enough f-air, reverse bair or reverse nair :3

i did like the u-tilt > dash attack at 1:35 or so, good decision

 

[RickySSB]

More Horizontal aggressivity with the boomerang and Fairs, SH Dair and..... Bombs lol
