What should I practice alone?

[Wo1f]

Titles pretty self explanatory. When I'm alone and have nothing to really do except play computers, what are some things I should practice for Marth? Certain chaingrabs? Dash Dance? What do YOU as a Marth player recommend practicing?

Also: Do you think its absolutely necessary to master wave dashing?

As a Marth I'd say yes. Master ever aspect of every stage while you master your motion. Marth has alot done for him but the mastery and control of his movement is key. Everything else falls into place after that.

1. Wavedashing/Wavelanding - The more mobile your Marth, the more deadly your spacing will be
2. L canceling and IASA frames - more movement stuff, but VITAL
3. Ledgehop shield breaker regrab - because Dart says M2k isn't the only one who can do it.
4. #3 is all you need.

Learn the basic advanced techniques like wavedashing and L-cancelling and then READ THIS THREAD.

perfect wavedashes/landing, perfect waveland from the edge, perfect Uair, Dtilt IASA, perfect Uair from ledge. All of those while chaingrabbing would be great. Add some fancy edgeguard to try against someone.

And if you walljump-tech when you try to just ledgetech, practice to walljump-ledgetech (lol) to Bair, you hit the edgeguarder and regrab the ledge immediatly, it's great.

d-tilt iasa
auto cancelling nairs
chaingrabs
comboing on platforms with u-tilts and u-airs, mix it up etc
wavelanding motion/wavedashing around stages
ledgehop shieldbreaker to regrab
double fair i guess if you cant do it

yeah, you coudl also practise the diakonos b-air after walljump teching : )

and yes its absolutely necessary

 

[Wo1f]

What does IASA mean?

 

[OverLord]

Interruptable As Soon As

It means that you can interrupt the lag animation of a move with another thing.

In this case D-Tilt can be canceled with a dash or whatever (not Shield, but if you hold away and then Shield you can get your Shield out) at the 20th frame, if I remember correctly.

Practice dairing immediately after a double jump, like m2k at 2:00 in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CSjPMnuZi4. I use up on the analog and down on the c-stick simultaneously. I think its the easiest way.

 

[Wo1f]

Whats the best way to Double Fair? C-stick or A button?

Do you use aerials mostly with A or c-stick?

 

[OverLord]

I use c-stick almost for everything, it depends. I double fair with C-Stick, I dair OOS with A,

 

[Dart!]

use A first then c stick, or vice versa

 

[Wo1f]

So in general use the C-stick over A?

 

[Teczer0]

In general its completely preference.

But in general, you gain a degree of freedom using the c-stick so I'd say its worth it to learn using the c-stick.
