What are some bad habits with your main(s)?

[magikguy]

Attempting double fairs. bad stuff

don't cook grenades properly

 

[ParanoidDrone]

Lucas: I chase with PKT2 too often. I go for usmash kills even when it's not safe. And I have yet to master the Zap Jump.

Olimar: I constantly go for offstage edgeguarding. Yeah...

Dedede: Not enough grabs.

In General: I tend to fall into patterns unless I consciously decide to mix it up.

 

[Barge]

Tip for those trying to get out of a bad habit.

Smash in general is like (pulling this statistic out of my *** here) 50% habit.
Habits are what make you predictable, and can cost you some games.
Just try something new, and better one match, and try to remember doing it every so often, soon enough it will happen without you noticing it.

An example is the airdodge to cancle momentum (which doesnt work).
Just try to use an aerial one game when you get sent flying, and you'll soon be living to higher %'s

 

[Nixernator]

Sonic: Spring to Dair waaay too much.

 

[DZhou]

Snake - Off stage aerial out of cypher
MK - Shuttle Loop suicide

 

[Shadia]

zelda - I fw into people to much, makes me predictable. also don't Dtilt as much as I should.
zss - I use my Fsmash.. even though I know how laggy it is.

 

[H3RO]

Whenever I Do The Forward Spike With Donkey Kong. Like When The Person Tries To Get Back On Stage. I Tend To Double-Jump When I Leave The Stage To Spike The Opponent Down...I Tend To Kill Myself When I Dont Have That Second Jump...Whats Worse Is When The Move Doesnt Connect And I End Up Killing Myself =/

 

[1048576]

I never use C-Stick.

I randomly charge f-smash too often. I don't get punished often enough, so it's hard to break.

 

[thekingsdinner666]

: I use my F-Air attack when I don't jump high enough, leading to a 1 second ground stall.
: I use Z-Air to Neutral Air and Down Grab to B-Air, B-Air, U-Air combos to much.
: I use Phony F-Air to B-Airs too much.
: I do too many boring mind games.
: I use Forward Grab to Neutral Air too much.
Link: I can compare his moveset to Fox's. Not a good habit.
Zelda: I use a soft spike by accident too much.

Yaw. xD

 

[RumPuffin]

I roll/jump into fsmash and upsmashes.

 

[|RK|]

Rol~l ing!

 

[brinboy789]

MK: shuttle loop when on on the edge to get back onto stage. leaves me open

wario: bair spam. makes me predictable

jiggs: too much aerials. but that might be a good thing

falcon: always jabbing > grab when im close to opponent. too predictable

 

[Nicole]

I don't play aggressively enough, which is terrible, because GW is a wall of priority and I should take better advantage of that.

I'm terrible offstage, and I'm not entirely consistent about keeping a banana in hand at all times

I get punished too much when I pull up turnips, and I don't space Fair properly/use Fair too close to the ground and don't actually get the attack off

 

[Firestormzero0]

IC: Try and go for a grab to much.
Fox: Try To Shine Opponent Everytime They Go Off The Stage.
R.O.B: Too Aggressive, Need to be more campy... :D

 

[DarkLouis331]

I main Wolf:

1) I roll too much
2) I can use alot of his combos effectively...but way too much. I'm predictable.
3) I'm notorious for self-destructing. Happens all the time at BASH (gaming club) XD

 

[The Brigand]

- Suicide! Hooray for using Wizard Foot off stage when I wanted to Flame Choke! Hooray for Flame Choking under the stage when I wanted to Dark Dive!

- Trying to fight on the ground.

- Over-reliance on smash attacks.

 

[migas140]

Shiek-Screwing up my Vanish recoverys, using my smashes at the wrong time.
Toon Link-Not using enough bombs, using too much D-air (I use it on stage now, though. At the beginning I always tried to go for the spike and ended up killing myself.)
King Dedede-Not enough b-air.

 

[Maniclysane]

...I still airdodge to momentum cancel. This applies to all my chars. ._.

 

[Brave Hippo]

I still roll. Gotta work on that.

 

[Project D]

- don't use Counter enough time, so i tend to get myself beaten by my brother a few times when he at home

- rely too much on the edge guarding

 

[.Marik]

I miss a lot of my Grabs. >>

 

[Eagleye893]

: Barely missing the ledge w/ PKT2... I swear that those angles work; not using PK Flash as an edgeguard.
: Killing myself: b-side off the edge, b-side and miss the ledge for recovery, b-side in general. Also timing the knee.
: Getting separated from Nana; timing the alternating grabs wrong.
: Not playing as him for months at a time.
: never charging B... EVER!

 

[fromundaman]

My Lucario is Moses... Every time he fires an aura blast, the enemies part, and I somehow end up hitting my teammate who hadn't been in the line of fire when I shot it.

 

[FireKirby7]

Ness - I don't use enough Yo-yo!!
Lucas - I try to grab a lot.... Bad thing for a laggy grab like his...
Kirby - I don't think I have any bad habits with him...
Luigi - I rely on jab grabbing/jab upB too much.

 

[Jman115]

I suck too much

 

[auroreon]

With Yoshi I spot dodge everything and tend to avoid using the shield when I probably should.
When Im trying to throw and egg I do my egg roll.
Sometimes when I've just been hit and Im in the tumble annimation, I'll not do anything and let myself tumble... at first it was to try and trick opponants... but then I got used to doing it.
I sometimes do the Pivot-Grab input too quickly so Yoshi rolls, or does a dash grab in the other direction.
Every now and then, I'll attempt a rising Dair onto the edge and just dair to my DOOM.
I don't space my Bairs appropriately sometimes and get shield-grabbed.
When I egg-lay the opponant I'll chase the egg to attack, and get hit in the break-out invincibility frames.

 

[Zandr]

Squirtle's throws get weaker when you abuse them? i didn't think throws had that effect.

 

[Roxas215]

With peach i pluck turnips while im still in reach of my opponent. It's a bad habbit of mine. Right after almost every attack i pluck a turnip. I need to remember to be out of reach when i pluck them. Also i use fair and fsmash way too much with peach with means i can't kill with her when i need too. This is very evident when going against chars like dedede,snake,and r.o.b

 

[jokey665]

I miss grabs like it's my job. I try to spike even when I know it isn't going to happen.

 

[Jman115]

I am the Dair spam king, even off the edge when I know I shouldn't but it is too **** fun.

 

[Lythium]

Another one I forgot about:

Finally getting my Ice Climbers out of sync, and then not using them to my advantage.

 

[SothE700k]

Not sweetspotting the spike >_>

 

[Incarnati0n]

With marth I always suicide by dodging the edge or accidentally fastfalling Dair. And I STILL don't master Zelda's UpB properly.

 

[The Dinkoman]

All my mains: I need to learn not to use grab as my first attack. And use moar B moves.

 

[DemonFart]

Squirtle's throws get weaker when you abuse them? i didn't think throws had that effect.

duh!
lol

 

[Eagle]

I dash attack into people and get shield grabbed.

 

[DemonFart]

^same here

 

[Incarnati0n]

I dash attack into people and get shield grabbed.

Yeah, me too. But nowadays I tend to mix these dashes up with running shieldgrabs. Seeing as sheik is a really fast runner and my friends don't have perfect timing, they have to decide: attack and have the chance to get hit by a dashattack, or block and have the chance to get grabbed. By adding some spotdodges into that strategy, I usually come out on top.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I dash attack into people and get shield grabbed.

Dedede definitely has issues there since his dash attack is quite slow.

Anyway, one bad habit that I tend to have is attacking shielded players instead of grabbing them. In the end, I end up getting grabbed instead. This is true especially against level 1 CPUs.

 

[Yio]

I often try to meteorsmash, and then miss because I fastfall, being unable to recover (fast enough). And a LOT of wrong throws with the blue and purple pikmin...
