As all of you know, practicing melee against level 1 foxes are ANNOYING AND BORING. Allthough if you listen to music you can bare through it a little longer. Post what you listen to while practicing below!

I love to practice with my headphones on and the TV muted, since at tournaments you can rarely hear it anyways. Personally, speed, thrash, and power metal. Bands like Aion, Stratovarius, Galneryus, Avantasia, Sabaton, and Iron Savior let me practice for a long time without feeling it. For other times, Anamanaguchi, The Minibosses, OSTs by Hideyuki Fukasawa, and the guitar arranged F-Zero X .I should mention that even though you distract yourself with music, It's important to maintain awareness of your inputs.
I don't practice exclusively against lvl 1 foxes. I practice against all characters I'm likely to see in matches. If I practice against a fox Cpu, I'll generally use lvl 7 for the randomized DI. Same with every other character. If I'm grinding a specific techskill like WDOOS, then I use a controller in the second port, because there's no point in being interrupted until I have the motion in muscle memory. After I can WDOOS with no pressure, then come the lvl 7 foxes for implementation with pressure. Then come friendlies to implement the tech into real time pressure. If you're bored, practice on different stages against different opponents and practice different aspects of your game.
