- Woah, woah, woah. Don't approach snake period, lol we don't need to. Nitrix, doind crazy stuff like that to snake can be shielded into one of his dumb tilts.
If its someone you know nothing about, but they have moderate skill ALWAYS assume they have a pocket mk so please don't go brinstar or rainbow. At a national, people don't want to lose just because their character sucks on one of the mk counterpicks where they could just go textbook mk and do better.
Lylat's stage tilts ***** a lot of character's recoveries so that's a really good cp. And after you cp, immidiately ask them if they're changing if you want them to stay and vice-versa if you want them to change. It mindgames people sometimes lol.
Don't glide under the stage on your last jump and sd like me in tournament.
Sit in a relaxed position too, you'll be able to think more logically and be more patient.
