So, I sat down last night and turned on my wii and started practicing for Whobo. By myself. Not online, just in training mode on battlefield.
Silly right?
I thought so, but I'm determined to be at the top of my game for Whobo, and since I don't really have anyone to practice with often I just practiced by myself. I worked on movements, platform usage, edgeguarding ideas, teching, effective ways to react to banannas throw at your shield, buffering moves, good patterns, etc.
While doing this I was also thinking about match-ups, and would see exactly how much range a certain character had over me, all my kill %'s, easy ways to force airdodges. I thought of a ton of things for a lot of match-ups that for some reason I just haven't previously thought of, even while playing other people. I thought of how to consistantly space better, how to condition easily, as well as other things.
I've never felt more confident in my skill. Simply sitting down and practicing for an hour or two opened my mind to so many things.
So I just wanted to share . Sit down, practice, be creative and test things out. Even if they don't work well you will still broden your understanding of the options available to you and how to make good use of them. GW is a very straightforward character, so many people playing him seem to hit walls when it comes to getting better. Practicing like this though can help you get past that. Practice things and understand why something you thought of might be useful, THEN practice it against someone in a real match. It works .
That's all I have for now. Take care guys, and good luck with the tournaments.
