critiquing and advice are greatly appreciated.
kinda lazy to write out a well written paragraph so im just gonna make a quick list of things you could do to improve your play.
-Number one thing to work on would probably be your movement. work on your short hop bairs, you should always be able to autocancel them with enough practice.
-Dont approach with grab as much and practice understanding the distance it will go so you dont whiff (miss) as many grabs. Warios roll canceled grab actually gives him a pretty noticable boost so try to learn that aswell to help extend the distance of your grabs.
-B reversed Bites are essential to maximizing warios Bite. try to master and utilize it more.
- At low percents second hit of nair to upair combos. an easy way to set this up is to Nair OoS and connect the first and second hit of nair then follw up with the upair. once you start getting better control you can start using the second hit of nair to cover your landings from high in the air so that you can follow up off it. takes a while to get used to but practicing connecting both hits of nair will help
- Work on your OoS (out of shield) game. when an opponent is above you it is almost always best to be shielding instead of trying to throw out , for example, and upsmash. So instead of charging a smash sit in shield and try to punish with a nair/dair/fair OoS, even upsmash out of shield would be better than a raw upsmash. If your unfimilar with what OoS options is, its when you cancel your shield by jumping, jumping cancels out the lag you normally would have after dropping a shield regularly.
-Try to encorporate ledge trumping into your play, it opens alot of doors for wario as his bair is gaurenteed if done correctly.
-Work on your usage of bike for edgeguarding. if your opponenet is already grabbing the ledge you shouldnt try to pick up the bike, it should either already be bouncing or you should just leave it there. If you do have the bike bouncing either try to read the roll, ledge trump, or punish them for holding onto the ledge to long(hopefully bike will cover the other options).
- If you are going to approach , your best bet is typically in the air, Dash attack and grab arent super effective approach options all the time, you gotta mix it up. Full hop airdodge is a suprisingly good apporach option in my opinion, it allows you to get inside of the opponenet and puts you in a peferct position to land a bite. a common scenario would be to approach with an airdodge and go past the opponent then B reverse a bite as they may be anticipating anything other than a command grab.
- Try to never airdodge onto the stage, the lag is punishable, either airdodge sooner, jump out of the way, or if possible throw out a hit box to cover your landing, that way your atleast applying some kind of pressure instead of giving them a free punish.
- I feel as though when an opponenet is offstage ( particularly shiek) its more beneficial to pop your bike on stage and throw it up rather than to go for a dair. if you miss the dair youve most likely lost stage control and put your self in a bad position. Dair offstage is a great mixup , just dont overdo it !
- When an opponent is on a platform above you its typically best not to actually go on the platform with them. sharking them with upairs or shorthop biting would be your best bet. its crazy how many people dont realize wario can bite them from below without actually even fully going onto the platform. throws alot of people off and is definitely warios best platform pressure option.
-When players throw out an Up B above a platform theres a really good chance they will opt to fall through the platfrom, i think its always best to anticipate that option.
Thats all i have for now, sorry its pretty unorganized but i feel i left some pretty important information above
keep working on it! ill take a look at other vids you upload in the future aswell! if you have a hard time understanding anything i mentioned feel free to message me !
