Alright, well I'm going to a tournament tomorrow in Kansas City and my playstyle's been feeling REALLY off lately... Mostly due to a huge lack of practice with my crew.

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I got 2nd in teams and 5th in singles.

Immediately, I have to say, work on your spacing, Falco hit you alot of the time where, you should have been spaced far enough out to avoid a counter attack.

Thanks for the critiques so far guys; I'll be sure to work on those.

Yeah works well; doesn't work with Vista though. Also make sure to buy the "Dazzle Platinum", not just the "Dazzle."

Ya ill just have to say ur spacing. And sometimes when he was doing neutral A, sometimes you stayed in there longer than you should, but other times you came out quickly and punished him.

But overall good. Just spacing is the issue.

Use your forward tilts more. Time your side dodges better, i.e. after picking up on their style. And stay above your opponent, not stay on platforms above your opponent, but jump and air dodge and jump again, play with their head and attack when their obviously confused, because your opponent is not going to count your jumps because sometimes it seems like metaknight is going to stay in the air forever. And on top of it all, your opponent will be thinking "****, im facing MK" and thats the mindset he/she will have. PLay on it.

normally when i play meta, i dont spot dodge. if you stay unpredictable and quick in your movements, you shouldnt have to spot dodge much, or at all, IMO

Alright I just got back from KC and your guys advice helped out a lot.

I spaced well with F-airs/F-tilts/D-tilts and used Mach Tornado more; I placed 2nd in teams and 5th in singles.

Thanks, very appreciated.
