Yea Zhu, keep playing Falco, but I buy you maining Peach... for now.

Your fc nairs are sweet and you're pretty fast.

I know watching Shinobi and XIF is more entertaining... but contrary to your belief, Cort is **** good. He beat the other Zhu at ROM. It wouldn't hurt you to be gayer. I don't know **** about Peach, but for starters, cc dsmash more against fox. That can **** Fox's nair/bair until reasonably high percents. Fox's drillshine will still ****, but you can make it slightly more difficult by taking away the nair approach.

And Kinglit - yea, what Bing said. DI. It will come eventually.

Groundfloat nairs are nice and all, but not particularly helpful if you keep doing them from across the stage lol.

yo zhu, i just watched your set against 1der

LEARN TO DI, for example, di away from marth's fthrow, dont get fsmashed (maybe even away and down, dunno, figure it out) and on poke, when it turns into rock, you dont wanna be on the left side

close *** 2nd match though, i approve, if you would have di'd, you woulda won

Kzhu, you look like you could be amazing with peach. It really looks like you've worked on Peach's technical aspects. I think now you need to learn the ins and outs of the game itself. DI definitely being one thing you need to work on. That will come with playing different opponents, on different stages etc.

Both you and Kinglit look like you have a good feel for your characters technical ability. Now you need to learn when certain technical skills are applied best situationally. That will come with time though.

Keep training guys. :D

1 thing i noticed when playing you guys (and this'll help you out), is that you do two things that go hand in hand based on the crowd you play with: You A) always expect your opponent to go where it first looks like they're going to go; you never seem to think that they can change where they're going to go, and B) You always go where you first make it look like you're going; whenever you make a move, you've already mentally committed to doing it, you never make moves that look like something other than what you're going to do.

With those two things in mind, it's very obvious why both are true: it's because of the other.

Fortunately, the solution is easy. Now that you can start to realize that you only make moves that are going to turn into full fledged committments, LOOK FOR THAT in your friends when you're playing, and FRIKIN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. If you know that fox is going to fast fall a nair now that he's in the air, just WAIT for him to do the nair, and then do something to **** it. It's important to WAIT for them to ACTUALLY do the commitment, so you don't end up shafting yourselves. If you get in the hang of punishing obvious approaches AFTER they've committed, then you'll have no (unnatural) problems learning to NOT do that kind of action.

Finally, you need to play some new people a bunch. You guys seemed to assume people would play exactly how you expect them to. This is simply a byproduct of playing the same people over and over, without taking regard for other playstyles you've seen/played against. Try to make it out to AA sometime for one of my meleefests (i've got one going for this wednesday evening), you'll get to play a handful of decent players that can give you a chance to realize that your circle isn't the whole metagame.

Yes master, teach me how to how to have an accident-free record and not hit other cars at the stoplight.

Oh wait.

That's what I thought, you're not much of a driver to be talking, and I'm far better without you and your bloody nose.

Consensus: no U suck at driving lawl
