if you get them off the board, jump of the boards and cape to turn around. it will make you lag i the air just enough to reach people who are trying to recover from far away. if you need an example watch one of N0ne's videos

join the club. if you can't be the best theres no point in trying =P

also I'm finally starting to realize how good spacing uairs is. if they hit they're easier to capitalize on too

uairs in general have alot of shield stun for some reason plus there is a smaller gap between shield stun -> followup than with bair. spacing shields with uairs bair wavelands jabs, poking thru shields with fsmash nair/reverse bair is **** **** shiz i was brutalising the other docs marios ganons with it at SNY

since you mentioned it, it seems to me many ganons have very transparent playstyles. of course kage and linguini don't, but the ones I played usually are easy to beat after I play them for 2-3 games. like it focuses around you running into their attacks a lot and they never expect the bair waveland. trick them by constantly spacing bairs, then shbawl into an utilt/jab to grab

no. do not use your iphone

if you have a laptop get a recording device like dazzle and a video editor like iMovie

or set up a video camera on a tripod

and don't make the mistake of leaning forward so your head is in the way of the vid

like I did >.<

i still attend some tournys but very rare these days maybe 2ce a year. ye i have won games against great players. mostly with doc though but i like mario more. ive still got some stuff in me. meybe ill upload some vids eventually. i got a combo video up too

either way your mario aint bad it just does some interesting things for me. defencive play and bair approaches i have found work better then a chaotically offensive approach. hell, i love to just stand still for 10 seconds and then U-tilting their approach. mario needs to be tricky and find ways to get inside but you need to be patient and weigh the benefits and risks of it. mario mostly gets better through experience and understanding which moves in which situations has the best chance of leading into something else

yeah i have learned to gap space since those uploads. thanks Dr.PP :)

i switched from mario for the reason u suggested above, i play too offensive and impatient. it's not that i cant camp well.. i just CBA! literally its just too boring to camp. but with falco... camping becomes more artistic than Shakespeare or the guy who painted the mona lisa ever were
