I've been into competitive Smash for about 3.5 years now, but I've only really had the chance to practice Brawl and Smash 4 with actual people due to wifi, so I never really had the chance to get into Melee since, as far as I'm aware, I don't live near any competitive players.
I do, however, really wish to learn Melee, as it's just so impressive to watch people play it so fluidly, and it just looks incredibly fun to be able to have such mastery over a game. I realize that a lot of it comes down to patience and practice and research, but when you have nobody to give you input on exactly what you're doing wrong or should start doing, it's incredibly difficult to really get an initial foothold on the game. I mean, I can practice L-cancelling and wavedashing all day, but that still doesn't get me accustomed to using them in the context of a match, so it doesn't really feel like I'm progressing that much.
I have tried to look for local tourneys where I could potentially find people to practice with, but so far the closest one I've found is an hour away, which is just an impossible trip to make until I get a car.
So basically all I'm asking is, aside from JUST itemizing and practicing each tech skill one by one (which I admittedly still need to do a lot of), how can I figure out how to apply them and begin to form a fluid playstyle without a human partner to train with?
