Hi! been lurking the forums for awhile now and now I decided to post xD. Me and my friends just started playing SSBM again 2 months ago (we played this last year but didnt know about wavedashing and all those fancy techniques). Well basically I mained Samus but she just didnt have that thing that you feel when you knee someone with Captain Falcon :laugh:.

These are some videos of me playing with my friends :3.

You seem to be lacking in you're throw>knee combos. Also use approx. 3.7 mega f*cktons more Dash Dancing. Try to cut back on the boosting, use only when there's a solid opening. uair combo a bit more. Throw>tilt isn't very great. roll less.

You seem to have a problem actually hitting with the knee. You need to develop accuracy and timing with the knee. Also, I don't see much of a problem with the boost, even if you use it more than most people, they have a certain amount of...randomness to them. Just don't use them so much that people will punish you for them. Also, you should use the gentleman. Tap A twice, then wait for a split second, then tap it a third time. Falcon should hit with his knee, and when he hits with the gentleman, it has a large knockback, and then you can stick a knee into the other dude. Also, don't use the dash attack...it's worthless. Try to develop more mindgames when grabbing, I see you just run in and grab the dude a lot (even though it works on him, it won't work on higher level players). Throwing to sides is useless...dthrow and uthrow are your best friends. Also, I don't see what you're trying to do with the raptor boost returns to the platform...maybe something like space animal >B? Well, I saw you use that once or twice...if you're going to recover like that, make sure you're on the same level as the ledge. Personally, I think upB is better for recovery. But, raptor boost is pretty random...I guess that might work.

Also, nice teching and shieldgrabbing skillz. Work on grab combos to punish more.

So, overall, work on more combos, and more accuracy with the knee.

incorperating the gentlemen into your game is not integral, and if anything will add frustration to a newer and learning player, so ignore what that guy said about gentlemen.

Well, the gentlemen is just another combo start to knee. Can't have too many of those. Chrono already seems to know the d-tilt, that's another combo start to knee. The point is, anytime that you can, make a combo lead to a knee. It makes opponents discouraged when you can make almost any combo lead into a knee.

Hmm okay thanks for the feedback guys! I will work on the stuff you guys said. Especially my combo's. The raptor recoveries are mainly because of controller problems, the analog seems to be pretty loose so i tend to raptor instead of upb. Can anyone help me with my SHUFFLed dair it seems that everytime i do it it doesnt hit ; -;..

I will post another video in the future to show progress. Thanks guys :B .

oh, okay, now I understand why you used raptor for recovery ^_^. For the shuffled dair, you aren't getting the dair out fast enough. But, personally, in my opinion, the dair is so slow that if you want to hit with it, you don't really need to fast fall it. Still do the sh and l-cancel, just don't fast fall it. That might make it come out easier, and when you get more comfortable with this method, you can try making the dair come out faster, and fast fall it.
