Yeah, he must've saw it from the post I made recently on /r/ShulkMains, actually yep, that's his comment on there lol https://www.reddit.com/r/ShulkMains/comments/3wajzd/optimized_shulk_mallc_shfhff_ppuptilt/
I dig all that. XD
I feel guilty for that considering I lost a couple subs that day. lol.
Excellent games, I'll definitely be studying up on these. I love your use of Backslash to change momentum, allowing you to get every little punish that you couldn't have gotten with your current drift or landing timing.
Monado purge! (intimidationI think what we all really need to know is how you manage to get every opponent to SD at least one stock a set.

's Shulk. I mostly go by observational learning and some hearsays and comments of my brother when he plays Shulk so I don't really have a lot of technical knowledge.
Thank you for your kind words
I've put so many hours into Shulk it's ridiculous lol.
I've seen some stuff using this, and made it work a few times in training. I think the grab read would be the best setup for this. After all, I do plenty of Sh Bair grab reads, and Uair would be about as unsafe. Either way, it's definitely hard to pull off. I think falling Uair's best property is the true combo into Utilt or Air Slash. If you have good eyes, it's a hit confirm into kill move at high percents - something Shulk dearly lacks, for the most part.Thank you for your kind words
Currently working on some 'jab reset' set-ups and follow-ups one can accomplish with Shulk's falling u-air → footstool → d-air. I've only pulled it off a couple times online. Other than maybe a MALLC n-air or f-air at low percents, it only really seems viable as a hard punish (or a grab read I suppose). Can anybody confirm me on this?
Here's a true combo you can pull off on all heavy-weights around Captain Falcon's weight https://youtu.be/-PjhsZYDIcw
a fairly notable Japanese player at a pre-Genesis tournament
I'm also liking how SABD is working out of down throw into MALLC f-air (requires a mini-foxtrot to get the jump manado input in time). It's only true if they don't DI well, but it's great for covering any other option besides jump.

He's playing Shulk much slower than Shulk can ideally be played, imoHelp me help this guy?

Could you possibly elaborate on how and why he wasn't playing Fast Enough and what you think he should've done instead. Not to say I think you're wrong or insult you or anything, but just saying that without specific on reasoning/details doesn't exactly provide a useful direction for us. If you'd add some more details, I'd know what to tell my friend the next time I see him
I've never been great with giving other players specific advice (I also didn't watch both videos to completion). That was just my general impression. I think MALLC is great for baiting and pressuring you opponents, as well as speeding up Shulk's play in general, so I would definitely think he could use more MALLC tech. That being said, MALLC use just for the sake of MALLC is not very effective (also predictable). It takes a while to use MALLC intelligently (you need to be able to do it without thinking too much about it), but it vastly improves Shulk's offensive and defensive gameplay in my opinion.
And here's what I meant by SABD out of down throw
I'm still fairly clunky with it, but I think it's a solid option to work on perfecting. You can also try D-throw → F-air → F-air or even D-throw → F-air → N-air. Speed art doesn't give Shulk the jump height to do either of these things out of D-throw, so it could definitely surprise your opponents (especially those who think they know the Shulk Matchup )
It was this past Friday's Reset the Bracket that I'll post results to eventually.
In regards to your movement, it does seem you weren't using it the threaten enough. You've got the mechanical control, but in this match you tend to be either all the way in or all the way out. Shulk needs to maintain control of the midrange, where he is most powerful. You have a habit that I am also trying to break, which is trying to cover whiffed Nairs with Dtilt. This works against people who run in after Nair, but it's not safe, and a good opponent will read it. For that kind of purpose, I often like to do Jab1 after Nair. If it hits, confirm and continue the Jab combo. If not, you're almost unpunishable. Dtilt still has uses, of course, since Speed, Buster and Jump can all get stuff of of it, but it shouldn't be your go-to.Here's my first match that was recorded that I actually have access too.

Looking back on it, my movement looks kinda uncrisp, and I'm not really sure if I went in enough. Course, I don't have much Mewtwo matchup experience.
Let me know what you guys think.
It's definitely possible with speed art, but the timing is extremely hard. When I'm going for a trump in speed mode, I find I'm able to get it more consistency if I run off the edge, fast-fall, and then reverse air-slash to get the auto-snap with the beginning of hit-1. It's still really hard though, I don't really go for it.
You can take anything you like from my channel. The more Shulk on YouTube the better
Thanks man! And let me know if you happen to get that combo on any dedede's soon. That would be effing amazing.You can take anything you like from my channel. The more Shulk on YouTube the better
