Oh, I completely missed that. Apology accepted.Like I said.. I'm sorry, Twinkie.
I was basically being an ******* and blurting out things that were uncalled for.
I re-watched all the videos. I learned a bit from Excel Zero because he's a smart and creative player. In fact, I tried to base part of my aggressive playstyle off of him when I picked Peach up. I also didn't know Excel lost because I didn't watch the whole vid, and I'm at fault for calling Doom out like that. Grats on the win.
I never said my opinion was fact, though.
Are Excel and Doom coming to Apex? I would love to play them.
Yep, I definitely agree.Illmatic, you've started to do that thing where you spam jump to get into the air and end up instantly using your 2nd jump (which is an absolute pet peeve of mine - I hope you're reading Praxis). You could be using that double jump to help space your aerials/bait Trela into whiffing an attack - it's very handy to reposition yourself quickly to avoid an incoming aerial/punish a whiffed F Smash
Nine times out of ten this does not work.I'm glad to see you don't always go for the 'ledge jump get up' option but disappointed you didn't use ledge hop Fair at all - it looked like there were a number of opportunities for you get some in to get Trela off your back when you were on the ledge. Throwing one in during the cooldown of his F Smash could have done the trick.
I like bair.Why do you use Bair so much? I've always found Fair works better against Lucario. I also think you could have done with more Jab in those earlier games (and not F Smash lol)
Can you point these instances out?Of course, you may have tried all of that stuff already It's difficult to really give you any advice because it's clear Trela can adapt to any changes in your tactics since you play each other so much. The only major flaw I can find is that you make the wrong choices sometimes. Problem is that they're split second choices and no one can really advise you on how to improve that. It just comes down to muscle memory. Trela just has that edge on you in that respect if I'm being honest - he's better at making split second choices and your matches have to got to the stage where that tiny detail is the bit that decides the victor (also considering how frail and rubbish at killing Peach is, these things matter a lot).
I've been trying to do this, but yeah I can always try a bit more.Try looking for patterns in Trela's playstyle and see if you can exploit him when he performs Action X or try performing Action C to counteract Trela's Action B reaction to your Action A. It's all in the mindgames at this point.
It was helpful, lmao.That wasn't very helpful sorry...I'll try getting round to posting something more helpful...
Nine times out of ten this does not work.
Trela doesn't fall for that dumb stuff... he'll just powershield and punish me hard.
Trust me, I've tried it.
I'm not saying use it as your only ledge get up tactic, just as a mix upThrowing a fair from the ledge on Lucario's f-smash cooldown is just asking to get powershielded and punished, Rick. Even Lucarios that I've played who don't exactly have the best timing managed to get free powershields on accident from me trying to punish the f-smash cooldown that way.
Fair helps avoid throwing your hurtbox into Lucario and has better range. I just personally think it's better than Bair when you combine it with 2nd jump shenanigansI like bair.
Bair combos into more things at lower percentages, and it helps me save my fair for the kill.
I will use fair as a mixup now at lower percentages though, now that you've mentioned it.
As far as slaps go, I feel as though they were being used very effectively (see: Frigate).
In fact, I may have have used them a bit too much... he started punishing them well.
This took ****ing ages so I'm only doing for the 1st match of the 1st videoCan you point these instances out?
I might be able to figure something to do.
And yes, I agree... Peach needs killpower in this matchup (mainly why I use bair).
That's what I meant at the end of my post and a reason why I dislike critiquing stuff where it's clear both players know each extremely well - it's so easy for me to say 'oh you should have done this' when I'm just watching and not actually playingOkay, I just finished going through all of it.
Some of the stuff you said is just like.... "yeah you're watching the video now, but if you were playing the match.. would you have really thought of that?" cause of how I'm spacing and stuff.
Okey dokeyUsing fair more often is a plus, but I'm still going to space with bair at times.
The grab stuff was just me missing grabs or Brawl being simply dumb.
No you don't - you have to stop jumping so high in the air and wasting your double jumpI gotta work on my floating habit, like you have already mentioned.
I'm not saying be completely passive but just calm down a little bit every now and then. You're always on the go which I really like but you don't want to overcommit. make sure that what you're doing is safeYou want me to be more neutral, but it's not my playstyle at all.
If anything, I think Trela will adapt to it much easier... but I'll try it... I just don't think it's going to end well.
Camping is a bit extreme...Nordal sort said what I wanted to say better I thinkHe's wayyy too good at picking a better option (he has more), and I have to stay moving to space properly. Plus he has aura and the sphere... I don't know ... camping or a "slower" or more "neutral" Peach doesn't seem like it will work.. but I will experiment.
Well as long as it's actually helpful...Although I don't really see why you would pinpoint some CERTAIN things I did (I mean, we all get hit in the game), I really appreciate your critique. I'm going to try to survive longer and use attacks in better instances will still trying to keep my speed or whatever.
Wha? No no no - I want you to try using your Float MORE. Scrap the Ground Floating for sure but try Floating at head height more often. You have so many options (as I mentioned in my previous post) if you Float at head height in mid rangeThe biggest things you have pointed out to me is not to use my float as often, and not ground float as much. I need to progress towards a more fluid Peach instead of strict and rigid while still mixing things up.
Man, this was the very best thing I learned from you. Worked wonders.Illmatic, you've started to do that thing where you spam jump to get into the air and end up instantly using your 2nd jump (which is an absolute pet peeve of mine - I hope you're reading Praxis).
