Watch your airdodges

it's so unintuitive not to, though

"don't dodge to avoid attacks"

like

that's the thing about smash that i hate the most

Sometimes you have to, but you did it every single time you were in the air. Every. Single. Time. A good player is going to catch on to that and punish you for it. I figured out when you had a tendency to airdodge and punished it with a charged fsmash or Shadow Sneak.

i catch on to the same things as a sheik player, but i don't follow my own rules sometimes

like i said, air-dodging is just the intuitive thing to do--because if you don't do it, you're still gonna get hit

my counter is supposed to scare you from doing random/spammy smash attacks, but you just don't give a fuck

edit:
do you not know the roy matchup? lol

i feel like i shouldn't have just beat you twice in a row there

Main: Samus
Secondary: Megaman
In Progress: Zelda, Mewtwo

all right, last game before i hang myself

Counters don't "activate" per se right as you press the button. Counters activate at around frame 8 so the animation will occur 8 frames after pressing the input.

Shit if I knew that was your last game I wouldn't have gone Lucina

oh, okay
well, that's unfortunate

also, were you just randoming out with ike/lucina, or are those actual characters that you're working on

GGs, but yeah I've been told I have a big problem of being impatient >_>

Yeah I was randoming.

like, my first instinct when i'm against an in-your-face-at-all-times type opponent is to start grabbing them, but i mean

- her pummel is bad
- sheik's up-throw is useless, afaik
- forward/back-throw only leads into bouncing fish, which isn't good enough, and you can just air-dodge it anyway
- down-throw is the best option, obviously, because it leads into uair, but only if you forget to DI, which... you won't

and if you DI after the down-throw, my only other option is to attempt a fair chain, but i mean
...air-dodges.

maybe i need to find a new character

Sheik's fthrow to Bouncing Fish is a true combo, I can't airdodge if you do it correctly.

When I get to higher %, dthrow is your best option even if I do DI because I still float there. You can follow up with an uair or bait an airdodge and go for Vanish.

Ryu is looking to be a top 5 character right now and I know you like Street Fighter so...

yeah, the uair bait into vanish is one of my favorite things to do--i just have a bad habit of overusing things once i get them to work once, you know what i mean

also, ryu? really? even with his recovery?
interesting

Yeah, people have been getting amazing results with him (Trela and 9B most notably). Ryu's so good that top players are starting to have a pocket Ryu (6WX, False). I don't think his recovery is that bad considering he has the Tatsumaki for horizontal movement and he can still use Shoryuken for vertical movement.
