Am now 1-7 on the AiB ladder. Still cannot even fathom how the people a lot worse than me beat me up so bad. I played like two people with negative scores, and I totally see and know how to counter it, but it either doesn't input due to lag or it just doesn't work at all.
Wifi is the most frustrating thing, and I cannot figure out how to be even half decent.
If you offered me a million dollars to beat someone on wifi, I'd reject it up front.
You apparently cannot move after you airdodge, I though this was Brawl, not Melee.
SH Nair with Wario is apparently nearly impossible to do, and when you do, it's useless anyway and you take 80% from a punish.
Landing and shielding cannot be done unless you have two seconds on the timer to input it, but when you do that, they read the shield and grab you.
MK can Nado if I'm in the air, and if I'm on the ground Dsmash, and almost JV 4 stock me. I cannot land near him, and anyplace I can do damage, it doesn't happen.
Never in my life have I seen two different Nesses Bair > Bair > Nair > PKT > read the airdodge I may or may not have actually wanted to do (which I can hardly move, once it inputs) > PK Flash.
If I am in range to land an attack, it will not be input and theirs will.
You cannot SDI PK Fire on wifi.
ROB can ftilt > ftilt > ftilt > gyro > lazer > offstage if you don't auto cancel a dair that you input above the battlefield top platform but it didn't come out until I almost landed.
Waft needs to be input, on average, 5 times before it will come out.
A feeling of helplessness will occur if you input something at JUST the right, or rather, wrong time; a 2 frame lag can take away an input that could win an otherwise lost match.
Reads mean nothing to me. Every read or adaption I make is made 30 frames after theirs.
SPOILER: this colored bubble thing appears around the opponent and protects them from damage. Keep this in mind when you want to attack them. How do I do this too?
FF Clap was landed 2 out of 9372729362 times today. Literally.
The only thing I ever found to be successful was fsmash > fsmash > repeat. This lasted three matches (one and a half sets).
Marth can make you fall off your bike when he counters standing onstage and your offstage high in the air.
When your connection is super solid (like today until the last three matches) you can move so easily, until they decide to move too, then you're automatically at a disadvantage because they can hit you, and you become frozen.
The moral of this story is: just because you see and take the perfect opportunity to do something, doesn't meant it will actually happen. Infact, the opposite might happen (9.99 times out of 10 it will).

Wifi - cool idea, deceptively beneficial, impossible.
