I have been playing this game competitively for 14 weeks now, and I'm still having trouble beating playstyles like this. Would anyone please help me? I would appreciate it.

Thank you. They were flubbed wavelands, and I knew I could have used my down b's. I just got really, really salty by his playstyle, and all I want to know is how to counter that playstyle. I'm more of a aggressive player, and I like moving all over the place. When someone approaches me and I can't do what I want to do, it gets me so mad, I just start to have a mental breakdown.Granted, I am as inexperienced as you so grain of salt.
IMO you did to much air dodging to avoid laser (maybe those were flubbed wavelands?). A lot of the SHLasers could've been crouched under. GDub gets LOW. Bucketing -> instant release is an option to stuff some approaches.
PS this post doesn't need its own thread. Posting this under the Video thread will serve you better.
My mindset is really, really bad. When I get punished over and over again from something I should have adapted to a long time ago, I start to play very, very poorly. I start to do things I wouldn't normally do.I don't think you should be too quick to categorize yourself as an "aggressive" player. A lot of new players make this mistake and it really isn't conducive to getting better. You are labeling yourself as something that doesn't really exist.
If there is any truth to your opinion on yourself it's that you swing a lot of punches. You are throwing out a lot of moves, but you are swinging at ghosts. Rewatch your match and pay close attention to how much you just miss. It's because you have this assumption in your head that the bad guys are gonna come to you, which is understandable because many low level players do. Especially CPU's will always approach you and they do if fairly directly. This wolf player didn't "camp" he just played a more solid punish game, and you gave it to him. You swung at nothing expecting him to come in and he just delayed long enough to punish that.
There are plenty of technical errors and mental mistakes that I could also point out, but for the most part you'll be able to pick up those on your own and work them out with practice. It's this part of you game that I think you should put some extra effort into. The next time you play against some bots, or a friend, try and practice restraint. Especially when you get in one of those scrappy situations where they are just out of range and you think they might come forward. Wavedash or dash back/forward and wait to see if they really do.
One last reminder: there is no reason to create a thread for this conversation. We have a QnA thread where you can ask questions just like this.
