Has there ever been a "scrubby" playstyle that you for some reason had trouble getting around?

For example, I have trouble getting inside of Fsmash/Dancing Blade spamming Marths with Jiggz/IC.

Hell, I was playing against this one guy yesterday and the entire time I was 3-4 stocking him. Then he chose Pit against my Sheik and spammed his arrows and smashes. He actually got me down to my last stock. O_o

Wolfs online especially are notorious for this. D: Those **** smashes. arg!

ike in general. i roll behind him when he fsmashes, which means i ALWAYS get hit with the attack. i KNOW i should spot dodge or even just hit him out of it, but i still roll right into the hitbox XD

I always end up trying to sidestep strong attacks (Fsmashs, Falcon Punch, etc.) when i can just roll away or hit them with a jab. It's a bad habit that's lost me many stocks. :p

Recovering. Sometimes lag butts into me trying to recover as Ganon, and in fustration, I'll tap Up B, and B. Because of the lag, only the B would register, leaving me helplessly Warlock punching as I fall to my death. I gotta learn to just tap B once and not be impatient with lag :p

that's like the jigglypuff problem. a lot of the time, i am angling my pound up and down, right? well, in laggy matches, it will only register the up or down part... so if i'm off the stage and am trying to pound upwards to get more horizontal recovery distance, i'll start singing and die. if i'm ON the stage angling my pound dowwards on a grounded opponent, i instead use rest and just float down for a fully charged smash or falcon punch.

Whenever I see Ganondorf use Warlock Punch I just stand there and shield. There is so much time to easily roll back, but no, I just shield for the ENTIRE length of the animation. >>;

Oh, and I have major problems with playing against campers and spammers on Battlefield -- people try to tell me it is easier to fight them on levels with platforms, but if they are under the platform its so annoying trying to get in overhead to actually take them on close-range. Usually I tend to simply get bombarded by smashes while I try to get down.

Going to Gamelon. I'm taking the Triforce of Spag
Yes. Pretty much anything.

I can't execute ATs because I have crappy fingers. And I don't ever use my shield because I kind of forget it exists even though my opponent is using it right in front of me. Not to mention my total inability to predict/remember priorities.

I get hit by the last few frames of Lucas's USmash EVERYTIME! >_> I always think it's over but I'm always wrong. And a Wolf that spams his blaster when I'm Snake.

Actually Jiggz can usually pound through both of those moves when I'm doing it. O.o I actually like Jiggz against Marth.

Scrubtastic techniques that have actually worked against me: I recently walked forward into a G&W standing in place spamming D-smash one right after the other while I was at 120%. It was a genius plan on my part I suppose to make an amazing come from behind (I did win, but my stupidity at that pissed me off).

My friend plays Ike and I'm usually Marth...so when I knock him off the stage, I go to edgeguard out of instinct, but forget how long Ike's Up-B lasts, so my invincibility frames wear off and we both go flying off the bottom of the stage...it happened to me at least twice yesterday XD

I am trying to get out of the habit of spot dodging moves that don't come out right away, or last longer than my spot dodge like G&W Torch or Lucarios Smashs, And Lucas Up Smash :( I can just shield but i always spot dodge instead >_<

Dodging in general. For some reason I don't dodge often during a match, I will try to cancel out attacks and die because I dont dodge.

I have a problem facing human players. Sounds stupid, I know, but when I know I'm facing an actual person I just start doing things I shouldn't and end up most likely killing myself.

I always run into the Ness/Lucas' bat/stick.

Then again, wi-fi makes you do dumb mistakes.

Yoshi has always been a problem, especially when he Down Smashes and uses that annoying egg grab which I really hate

When someone charges a smash I run right into it, hoping that I with make that grab or dash attack before the move is releashed.
