Like stated earlier, It isn't a critique. You can take the vid as a lesson of not to approach recklessly if you want, and leave it there. When it comes to a Marth I know how to handel the matchup fairly well since I know the other sides to it. Want a quick run on a good marth match up against lucario in tourney?
Lucario throws AS: Marth walks up and PS's it. Then jumps and fairs.
Lucario attacks with a Fair or Bair: Marth reverse pivot grabs. because of his grab range he can grab us out of fair if we are close enough the the pivot range.
Lucario Jabs: Don't follow up or you will get gay'd
Lucario Does anything past frame 6: You get Counter'd or reacted with dancing blade.
Marths objective: Push you on the ledge because he can harrass you.
Game over. Now that is how a marth will gay you in a toruney, I would like to move on.
Like i was saying (cough) Its not a critique. You can always learn something even if the video doesn't "Appeal" to you liking. Like i said earlier, take it as it is and then use from it on what to do and now what not to do.
Although we both rushed the whole game, who can blame us? its our crew meet. Pierce can easily just walk foward and gay anyone just by standing still, and to add onto the fact that he didn't but he ran up and fair'd makes it worse. You stated that I ran up to him and just fair'd but also take into the fact of how close he was for most of the game. He can Dancing blade, Utilt, hell even a down tilt trap would have pressured me off to somewhere I didn't want to be. Wanna AS him? Go head, he can fair through them all he wants when your under % increase, but thats besides the point. I rushed, ill cry later about it when it matters.
Your lesson from the video is: Don't rush marth with fair. Schools out now.
It doesnt apply to marth, since he only has one option; attack lucario. His playstyle in friendlies should be the exact same as it would in tourney situation
The fact that you said we should play friendlys the same way as we would play in tourney is obserd. If I was to do that, I would have quit this sh*tty game a long time ago. Gotta have the fun somewhere, even if its to teach someone something there not taking in yet because hes worried about how I played. The game is fairly simple. and I find tetris move complicated the Brawl.
So next people might say "Oo then why do you play?" Because a lot of my friends play it in my area. Pierce, Umbra, Munk, BSChung, My whole crew and then some just like 30 min away (Inui, Adomsk, DMBrandon, Doom) even my girlfriend plays. I play competitive halo most of my time and play this on the side, and I still get good placing at tournaments despite the fact i play this game about 2 times a week, and to add I get decent placing when im on the east coast? This isn't flame or anything, I am actually far from mad, but to recap on what I stated when I opened the thread and quote
Just to put it out there, this isn't a critique session.
So take what not to do from the video and lets move on now.
Im going to get my coffee.
PS: Marth's only option is not just to attack Lucario. Just wanted to put that out there.
