Training Schedule

[ch33s3]

Alright guys, we all dropped tons of grabs at Dallas. We're all better than that. It's been bugging me since Saturday. Let's never do that again. I've tried all sorts of scheduling to practice CGs, and I can almost never stick to them because I don't have the time, or they tend to leave out certain characters (like Random doesn't give you ZSS). I decided to write up a new schedule, of sorts. It's based on 5 days of practice per week, and is designed (at least in my head) to take less than 30 minutes, and at most 45. It also includes a nice variety of weights in each day. If you try it, let me know how it works out for you.

I selected the dailies because they're the ones I have trouble with lately, or are most important. I suggest always doing MK and Snake, and swapping out the others with those of similar weights that you have more trouble with. I suggest doing Pokemon Trainer every day because it's the fastest way I can think of to transition between weights to improve your adjustment speed.

In a perfect world, I'll be doing each of these 3 times in a row, or 5 times successfully, whichever takes longer.

I agree with the pokemon trainer because of the switching weight classes.

I'll see how fast I can finish the other CG project, and I imagine combining these two ideas would create the ideal practice.

Use my excel sheet method? It's swordgard approved lol.

 

[ch33s3]

F*** Lucas

Sounds like you need a different daily character than my Falco or Diddy .

Use my excel sheet method? It's swordgard approved lol.

I tried your sheet. It lulled me into a false sense of security on some characters.

Just wasn't for me, it's a nice chart though .

I use the bump.

This seems pretty nice. I gotta try to PT method as it makes perfect sense. Trying to 0 to death grab all the 3 pokemon in a row like every day would be really effective so you remember the timing for each weight class.

 

[Teh Future]

i dont have a wii lol.

somehow i don't drop grabs very often anymore though. No idea how lol

 

[Rubberbandman]

Future's practice is not practicing obv.

You kept dropping the Snake cg vs. MJG though. Still did really good in the matches though.

 

[Hylian]

Futures naturally good at CGing lol. I did really good with CG's this tournament until winners finals :/ lol.


Another practice thing you can do: Every time you lose in tournament, practice the next week CGing the character you lost to. 99 stocks a day.

 

[ch33s3]

I switch the characters I lose to to the daily list. I've followed this for a few weeks, the increase in my consistency is amazing.

F*** Luc as

haters gonna hate,

and word i like this schedule, ive picked up IC's as my secondary

 

[Rubberbandman]

ive picked up IC's as my secondary

Might as well give up now and save yourself the trouble.

 

[-LzR-]

I have played IC for a long time now as sort of a secondary, so far I have done really well. The thing that keeps me from maining them is the difficulty to keep Nana alive. But IC combined with MK would make any stage gay against me
And IC are also fun to play when you are alone.

 

[KoozyK]

Might as well give up now and save yourself the trouble.

lmao why u say that?

and i read the cg and desynce thereds once and everone says im a natural at them..idk

 

[Rubberbandman]

Because you have to have patience more than you need anything else.

I mean A LOT of patience. Thats why some people quit playing them.

 

[-LzR-]

Patience is not the biggest problem, but watching Nana get ***** by a player who has like zero skill will make you quit.

 

[Rubberbandman]

As I said, patience is the key. The matches will most likely have your opponent trying their best to be as homo as possible in order to either a) get you to switch off Icies or b) get you mad so that you make poorer decisions.

Also seconding icies is a bad idea when icies is going to be the one character that has no real counter pick stages, which is the primary focus of the secondary; and will take up most of your time in training .

 

[B0NK]

also remember you do get some control over nana when separated, and the opponent usually still has to worry about you as they try to dispose of her. (Only exception i say is metaknight because he can chase her no matter were she is without worrying about getting gimped or hit in general >_>)

 

[Exceladon City]

I'm practically bordering ADD so trying to focus on one character to CG is something that wears off after about 3 CGs or so.

 

[Roller]

Excel, you're picking up ICs? Yay for more dittos. -__- lol

 

[Exceladon City]

Excel, you're picking up ICs? Yay for more dittos. -__- lol

I've always played them. I just hadn't touched them until Nope's. I figured I'd play them and pick up some tips. I'm fairly consistent with CGs on light, float characters. I'm just garbage against heavies and fast fallers like spacies.

 

[Prawn]

hm maybe if i fix my wii
