I think the physiological aspect is important and often overlooked. When you play a tense match you breath tends to become more shallow and your heart rate goes up. This can cause shakes amongst other things. Force yourself to take deeper breathes and you'll find that it helps alleviate the...

A lot of her movement will be based on wave dash. This is because sheiks DD is bad. Not only is it shorter than others, it is faster than the others as well. If you watch videos of plup/m2k/shroomed/kirbykaze, you will see they aren't just spamming DD or WD, but instead using it to moderately...

Please try to go through all stickied threads before making new posts. It helps keep the boards clean, and I promise you will find more information you didn't even know you needed than you will asking questions as they come up. Good luck!

1) Movement. This is first priority. Go to all the neutral stages and spend AT LEAST 30 minutes a day just practicing your dash dance, wavedash, platform wavelandings, blah blah. Check the threads for movement tech. But practice movement first! 2) Combo game. After movement I prefer to work on...

If you're losing to a mario player it's probably a matter of fundamentals. You should work on movement and neutral game mostly. Spacing- You should have severe advantage here. I dont think mario has any attacks that you can't counter directly with your own. Well spaced Fairs and Bairs should do...

By the way you describe it I feel like your mental game is still developing. Neutral game is far more than just picking mixups. Mix ups are simply tools. http://sonichurricane.com/?page_id=1702 I could not recommend this guide more. I know it is for street fighter, but the fundamental...

It's probably better random anyway. Then you know you're training reflex instead of reading your buddy. In fighting games, reflex > read. (Assuming your reflexs are fast enough to take advantage.)

It definitely looks like movement is a big problem right now. You don't want to be pinned down by Falco as that totally opens up his pressure game. Right now your movement is really reliant on rolls. Rolling is extremely punishable on read and still leaves you open on reaction in some cases...

http://smashboards.com/threads/movement-practice.414822/ This thread has a couple pretty great answers for movement a couple posts down. For ideas about approaches, please check out the stickied threads at the top of the sheik boards. There's plenty of resources there and full guides to the...

The first step in not getting mad is taking responsibility for your losses. This is your new mantra. "I'm having trouble countering this. I know it can be countered so it must be my fault. How do I improve my strategy?" Once you do that, you aren't projecting frustration at the game, and...

I'm offering low level punishes because it sounds like you need a quick solution so you can get back to really trying to develop and play neutral. Falco- 2 words. 1 tech. Shield grab. Hold the L or R button. Wait for his f-smash to hit shield. Press A. If done quickly enough (you should have...

You're comparing apples and oranges. Sure they're both fruits, but that's as far as it goes. Furthermore, I might argue that melee would still rank with whatever you want technically speaking. Just because there aren't built in combos to memorize doesn't mean it's less technical. The...

Something about this BRVTVS person doesn't seem right....

You sir, are an idiot. We aren't talking about a business. If you want to discuss the supply and demand of a single purchase video game with no repeating online fees, then go find an economics class with a few casual gamers in it. If you want to post on a website specifically made to further...
