I'm by no means "good" but I'm not just a casual. I'm working on becoming competitive-level at smash, and am making good progress... i've got marths spacing down well, wavedashing down decently, and I'm currently working L-cancelling and teching in as being habitual.
Unfortunately I don't really have anyone to practice with (for now) and am stuck vs. bots. Some lv.9 bots i can mostly consistently beat, a lot of them are decently even matchups.
But I've hit a stump in the road - I'm having a ton of trouble dealing with characters that are even faster and zippier than i am, mainly Shiek. I feel slow/helpless compared to shiek, who just sorta zips around me and shield grabs anything i try, and once i get to 40%+ I'm just tech-chased to death. The u-airs and f-airs are killing me and even the needles are giving me trouble.
Squirtle is giving me a similar trouble but i feel like I'll be able to deal with him if i play the matchup a bit, where shiek seems to consistently wreck me
What advice can you give/ what should i work on, other than general stuff like L-cancelling/teching?
