Time capsule matches - did I get worse? O_o

[Zodiac]

Alright so, I think, that I am worse now than I was a year ago. mostly due to not playing smash more than once every two weeks. So here are two matches that are about a year apart. Both of my sheik vs the same fox.

Better or worse? Im pretty sure I've gotten worse.

Too tired to watch anything right now, but I don't think people actually become worse (unless they don't play at all). Relatively worse? That's possible. But actually worse than you were a year ago? I highly doubt it.

You did not get worse. I think it's more along the lines that your friend has gotten better. You just need to play more I suppose, to have that "feel" when you play, so you don't lose the "feel" after being inactive for a week or two. But what do I know, I'm just a scrub. LOL. Game play wise, I think you need to grab/gimp more =/.

It seems like you and your friend both got a bit better actually. Obviously there were some mistakes you guys made in that recent match, but overall your gameplay seemed much better than the match you played a year ago. You definitely knew how to follow up on your attacks in this recent match more so than in the older match.

I quite enjoyed those matchs they were decent =D

Looks like you both improved much. Especially the fox, 10 secs in the most recent match and I was like " now he's playing like fox" lol. Your sheik's gimping got a whole lot better. I think there were just a lot of technical errors for both of you in that recent match. But yeah, Foxes are tough when they get better/good, but you've both improved. I suggest to limit your jab->dsmash though, gets punished if you don't land and it's more effective at mid percentages. jab->grab proves to be better IMO, especially if you tech chase them with dthrow.

Hahahaha its funny you say that because he only plays every couple of months at the time that match was posted.

but thanks for the input everyone, i guess I didnt get worse afterall! I just felt like my mind games were better a year ago then they are now.

You may want to work on your edgeguard. Check out some new amsah vs fox matches.

It could just be that you have basically no one to play against in Bend and theoretical stuff doesn't work for everyone.
