Thanks i thought i was forgotten
No critique request gets forgotten on my watch. Brace yourself, here it comes.
I would critique this now but, is the Ike player going to be able to find my critique? Get back to me on that. Also, the conversation in the comment section for the second video was a little... misinformed.One of these are a tourney match and the other is a friendly. I'm not sure which is which though. I'll try to get some more vids up before it's starts being outdated.

I like the video quality, and I know Sora, I actually friendly him quite a lot.
^^^ This. Although I'm pretty sure Dair and Bair end sooner if you're still in the air (exact same number of frames for both I believe), so it's better to use those just in case you do need to perform another action soon afterwards. You don't want to use Nair because it lasts forever in the air. But yah, any aerial can be used as long as you fast-fall simultaneously.
Eh, not too impressive really. Obviously trying to be flashy but more often than not he just ended up looking dumb. Waaay too much use of QD as an approach/attack. Too much jab canceling after Jab 2. It's easy to SDI out of it at that point. Plus what was with the Fsmashing after Jabs? It may have worked the first time but it was a bad idea to try it again.
I liked it, looks cool and it threw me off. I think it just allows his Ike to be crafty...plus gives the illusion that he's moving faster than Ike's normal speed...the quick draws is just to keep from getting predictable. I don't understand why he sucks for it though
Yes, just hold up, no need to tap the control stick at the exact moment you're hit. That's for SDI, which is still useful but not nearly as important for surviving hard hits (in b4 Mr. Doom objects).
The Quickdraws themselves were predictable, he did them way too often
if he wants to be unpredictable, he can do things that are unpredictable but much less punishable.
Anytime. Bored is here to tell you bluntly that you suck, I'm here to tell you why and how to improve. I'm not saying you suck though, the DI was the only thing that stood out to me in that last video.
I object. Wait... It's already too late...? Darn it. And whaddya mean SDI is not nearly as important for surviving hard hits?
Lol, your SDI is an exception. Normal human beings use SDI primarily for escaping combos/weak attacks that can string together. Bending your trajectory with traditional DI is more important for people just learning to DI when it comes to surviving KO moves.
You know what your opponent reminded me of? Those fighting animes or shows where a guy is moving around at super fast speeds, and the main character catches him with one punch and knocks the **** out of him. That's what you shoulda done. He left himself wide open one too many times.
Just tossing this out there, but if you're playing in an Ike ditto, you're at high damage, and your opponent is trying to do the jab combo to get you off stage, one way to avoid that is to SDI + DI down and the moment you get hit by the final attack of the jab combo, you tech the ground and roll away. Pretty sexy.Lol, your SDI is an exception. Normal human beings use SDI primarily for escaping combos/weak attacks that can string together. Bending your trajectory with traditional DI is more important for people just learning to DI when it comes to surviving KO moves.
A level 9 CPU once powershielded all three hits of my jab combo, done as fast as they can be, then instead of punishing, rolled behind me. So I turn and jab again, he powershields the first jab and SDIs the kick back right to very edge of the sword's hitbox and powershields that. Then he rolls away again.
I'm way too tired to a do a full critique right now, and anyways there weren't too many individual incidents where I could have pointed stuff out. However, I noticed a few things generally. You attempted a lot of dashing grabs, which in certain circumstances is okay, but it's typically better, especially against a fast character like Sonic, to shield cancel and use jabs instead, for pretty obvious reasons.
Kirk wrote a thread a long while back in which he stated that airdodging and then double jumping is best to cancel your momentum if you're being knocked out horizontally, while DAir and immediately fastfalling is best to cancel your momentum if you're being knocked out vertically; BAir actually wasn't advised, but I think there isn't a big difference between BAir and DAir, if I recall correctly.
Yah, Bair and Dair take the exact same number of frames in the air, but obviously Dair is a better option because you'll automatically fast-fall. There's really no point using Bair because you would have to c-stick the Bair and tap down on the control stick at the same time to fast-fall... might as well just tap down and press A.
