#

Jumping into an directional airdodge

So far ive used it for 3-4 games as a mixup of me just pushing

#

and its worked so far

#

prolly not optimal

#

💀

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

gg

drifting anchor
#

you gotten better

#

but still making those habits

#

like jumping into stage

#

and a bit too many fairs

#

it isnt really that safe

remote agate
#

gotchu

drifting anchor
#

if you really wanna rush in you have to use safe options

#

like down tilt

#

or autocancel uair

#

which is a great combo starter

remote agate
#

Uair into grab

#

)

#

?

drifting anchor
#

uair to uair

remote agate
#

alr

#

gg

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate

#

still too many dairs too

remote agate
#

fairs****

drifting anchor
#

i mean fairs

#

ye

remote agate

Yeah

drifting anchor
#

but ur advantage state is better

remote agate
remote agate
drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

Ehhh

#

gg

drifting anchor
#

ye def work on combos

remote agate
#

So i seen this video

#

N it was like a “High low” window

#

its like how u perform in certain games

#

And you gotta work on your low more than your high

#

ive worked on my high more than my low So one game i can do amazing and the other i can be horrible.

#

So i need to work on the “Low” part of my game

drifting anchor
#

interesting

remote agate
#

gg

#

lag

drifting anchor
#

gg

#

not a bad read

remote agate
#

the F smash?

#

yeah

#

gg

#

See

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

like rn im at what the video

#

calls “The low”

drifting anchor
#

not sure what the low means

remote agate
#

The worst

#

you can play

drifting anchor
#

o

#

got u

remote agate
#

And High is the best

#

you gotta have consistency

drifting anchor
#

and expeirence

remote agate
#

yeah

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

gg

#

Mhm

drifting anchor
#

kill confirms still need to be touched on more

#

like that uair you did

#

am pretty sure you couldve killed me with uair spring bair

#

should be true

remote agate
#

Ah

drifting anchor
#

spindash is still predictable too

#

use ur cancels

remote agate
#

alrihht

drifting anchor
#

bait and punish

#

gg

remote agate
#

gg

drifting anchor
#

advantage state was hot right there

remote agate
#

at the wnd

#

remote agate

Keep playing like this

#

gg

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

I think

#

i just do stupid shit

drifting anchor
#

remember not to jump on to stage

remote agate
#

yeah

drifting anchor
#

ye you still have those bad habits

remote agate
#

ye

drifting anchor
#

but your improving at everything else

remote agate
#

Ik you can downspike me and the risk/reward isnt great

#

yet i still do it

remote agate
#

gg

drifting anchor
#

damn that was dumb of me

#

gg

remote agate
#

Question

drifting anchor
#

ye

remote agate
#

Do you feel

#

slight pressure?

#

or pressure at all

drifting anchor
#

i'll lyk

remote agate
#

ok

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

i tried to put you in a clip

#

at the start

#

💀😭

#

and gg

drifting anchor
#

dude you had something going

remote agate
#

ikr 💀

drifting anchor
#

but u messed up with the SD

#

i was sorta pressured

#

at the beginning

#

but then you started whiffing at my burst range

remote agate
#

For somereason i thought you were going to end up in front of me

drifting anchor
#

and i just got comfortable again

remote agate
#

got it

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

laggy

#

gg

drifting anchor
#

ye wont blame u for that

#

gg

remote agate
#

i adjusted

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

gg

#

i got it

#

gg

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

i didnt adjust

#

💀💀💀

drifting anchor
#

u mean adapt?

remote agate
#

yea

drifting anchor
#

indeed

remote agate
#

Same thing right?

drifting anchor
#

i think so

remote agate
#

i didnt realise you were dead

drifting anchor
#

bro i was dead

remote agate
#

😭😭

drifting anchor
#

😭

#

gg

remote agate
#

gg

#

I wiff alot

#

also

drifting anchor
#

ok one more

remote agate
#

alright

drifting anchor
#

i gotta finish up hw

remote agate
#

Alright

drifting anchor
#

gg

remote agate
#

my aggression got ahead of myself

#

ff

#

gg**

drifting anchor
#

reallly should learn more ab edge guarding

#

and honestly

#

some ledge trapping too

remote agate
#

alright

drifting anchor
#

bc i feel way to comfortable on ledge with you

#

you should learn how to punish me on ledge and keep me there

#

thats another way you can kill me

#

think ab it, back throw kills

#

nair to bair kills

#

f smash kills

#

ideally you wanna cover up my options

#

like if i normal get up

remote agate
#

Grab?

drifting anchor
#

ye

#

or if you really confident

#

f smash

#

roll too

#

let me send a vid

remote agate
#

Alright

#

I do feel improvement tho

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

I feel more confident and comfortable in my approaches.

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

And do more uair combos

#

Those definitely helped me

remote agate
#

Alright

#

question

drifting anchor
#

pushes ur advantage further

#

Ye

remote agate
#

So abt the fair right

drifting anchor
#

Ye

remote agate
#

I realized people decided to block it and attack out

#

So thats where the jump airdodge thing comes to play

#

so it opens it up and im able to get it

#

right

#

but

#

Whenever you figured out those are my 2 options

#

You just stood there after the airdodge and waited

#

My Adjustment was to just Jump to give the visual que. But then i grabbed

#

Is that a good adaptation?

#

or no

#

or am i just guessing

drifting anchor
#

well when you adapt you adjust to new conditions

remote agate
#

So what im talkimg about would be considered a read?

drifting anchor
#

So ye it was adapting

#

You noticed me standing still

#

And you adapted

#

Mixing up ur options

drifting anchor
#

Like normal get up for example

#

Its my most common habit

remote agate
#

I F smashed one of them

drifting anchor
#

and you read it with f smash

#

Ye

remote agate
#

i think it was you

#

yea

drifting anchor
#

Thats a read

remote agate
#

Speaking of that

#

i just watxhed the replay of it rn

drifting anchor
#

that’s why its important to mix up ur options

remote agate
#

happened as soon as we started talking abt it

drifting anchor
#

So you remain unpredictable

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

on normal get up

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

You still do the habits you do

#

Its a lot less tho then before

#

But you still do them

#

For the most part tho ur alot quicker

remote agate
#

I want to be able to Mix up options 24/7 and be unpredictable

#

it would help with the Playstyle im trying to develop

drifting anchor
#

jumping onto stage, spindashing in my burst, occasional dair, homing attack, running around, fairs, attack get up

#

the thing that gets you the most with me is your spindashing

#

As a sonic main ik how to attack it

#

I even score kills off of it

#

You tend to run and Spindash really close to me at times

#

And then you try to run again, to close to me and spindash again

#

I just dash attack, uair, or up smash it

#

Spindash is everything but you should keep in mind when and when not to use it

#

And go for a different opinion

#

Like if am chasing you, and am gonna dash attack, you can do a bair to stop me

#

Or spring out

#

Homing attack

#

Nair to me

remote agate
#

Whenever i think on Spindash

drifting anchor
#

Whichever you feel comfortable with

remote agate
#

at least now

#

I think of Invincibility frames

drifting anchor
#

It does have invincibility frames but its a tight window

#

You can probably time it better if your trying to call out my dash attacks like that

remote agate
#

O

drifting anchor
#

There are multiple ways you can do it

#

Just find the one you feel better with

#

And consider the risks and rewards

remote agate
#

im going to send you this video

#

i took like 2 stocks from just spin dashing

remote agate
drifting anchor
remote agate
#

but overall

#

better right?

drifting anchor
#

Keep up the hustle

#

💯

remote agate
#

💯

#

So our match is like team matches

#

not 2v2 but like our points are counted off stocks

#

idk what its called

#

But im tryn 3 stock ppl

drifting anchor
#

I’ll review it when i get the chance

remote agate
remote agate
remote agate
#

@drifting anchor is “Nair”

#

safe?

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor
What is Craftis doing well

#

Ik the advantage state was crazy

remote agate
#

imma work on combo game

#

for abt an hour or 2

remote agate
#

im learning 😧 @drifting anchor

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

the first one

#

if so ik that

drifting anchor
#

You did uair and bair

#

Not true

#

that first uair was true tho

remote agate
#

yeah thats the one i was talking about

drifting anchor
#

Oh alr

#

Ye just making sure

remote agate
#

im abt to edit

#

yee

drifting anchor
#

👌

remote agate
#

i mean shi its going up…

from 20% to 70%

remote agate
#

grind to elite smash

#

starts now

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor

#

is there a reason

#

why every Roy player

#

decides to play overly aggressive?

drifting anchor
#

Roy is rushdown

#

That’s just how u play roy

remote agate
#

and they continue to run to me

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

im just saying in general

#

if im a roy

#

im not doing that

#

they took 50% and died every time

#

💀

drifting anchor
#

That was their fault then lol

remote agate
#

facts

remote agate
#

BRO SONIX WENT CRAZY @drifting anchor

drifting anchor
#

Oh ye saw that set

#

He played hella good

remote agate
#

Hell yeah

#

Im looking at my computer screen just amazed

#

thats insane

#

oh yeah No match today its getting rescheduled since schoo got cancelled today and tommorow

#

Session tonight?
I want to fine tune approaches/pressure
Edge gaurding ( will make my advantage state way better )

#

and whatever else i need to build on

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

alright

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor
Lmk what i should add

#

Learning aggressive neutral

#

then pushing advantage state for as long as possible

drifting anchor
#

Add getting rid of habits

#

And learning ab burst range

remote agate
#

honestly

#

i dont think sonic is the right character for me

#

with the playstyle im tryn go for

somber lodge
#

Skittles might as well be a coach

remote agate
#

hi rein

heavy geyser
#

Skittles

somber lodge
#

Hi cosmic, sorry to interrupt just wanted to say that to skittles lol carry on

remote agate
#

i dont even think he is here currently

#

Im just leaving a message

drifting anchor
#

after all the effort you put into him?

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

Because i want to play aggressively and really make it to where i win games through my pressure.. but im missing something,

#

And everytime i play the passive "Bait and punish" I lose. but whenever i apply the pressure i end up winning

#

at the same time Sonics moveset doesnt really allow you to do that which is what im seeing
n i really dont want to sit in a ball all day. So im trying to figure something out

#

Until i realize i absolutely have too n there isnt another option

drifting anchor
#

You wanna learn all these things with sonic so quickly but at the end of the day it takes time and experience

#

You’ll find that out with every other character too

remote agate
#

true

drifting anchor
#

Sure some are easier to learn than others but it’s important to play who you want

#

If you wanna main someone else that’s fine

#

I won’t be able to coach you tho

#

Keep that in mind

remote agate
#

Or safest move other than spindash because i know that

drifting anchor
remote agate
somber lodge
drifting anchor
#

Hard tho

#

Small hitbox

remote agate
remote agate
#

Finally figured out my characters

#

Sonic, Steve, Aegis

#

cause i can do bs with all of them

drifting anchor
#

All s tier

#

Sorta

remote agate
#

^
i have no idea what im pressing

#

winning by accident

drifting anchor
#

Looks like he got outsped tho in terms of moves coming out

#

and DI’ing in

remote agate
#

i was just sending the clip

drifting anchor
#

Ez read

remote agate
#

i just hit the meanest

#

clip

#

like lowkey id quit the game if i was him

drifting anchor
#

Sheesh that was just a smash attack

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

That was so weird

remote agate
#

💀💀

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor 💀

drifting anchor
#

?

#

Regular kill

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor session.

drifting anchor
#

Gimmie 5 hours

remote agate
#

Losing again

#

taking a break

#

ts making me mad.

#

the players dont even be good sonic just wanna sit here n be fucking ass 24/7

remote agate
#

Its time to start learning the mental part of the game

#

Reading habits

#

and things like that

#

I lose because i get confused on what to do.

#

And playing with a clear mind

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor I had a close game with the Moon Breakers owner

#

like a 30% difference

drifting anchor
#

Getting better and better

remote agate
#

So

#

@drifting anchor I think its time to move on to the nitty gritty of everything

#

and i dont know what to start on first

remote agate
#

these commets bruh 💀

remote agate
#

sonix is soooo good at edge gaurding

#

i need that in by BAG

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor wanna play some@matches tonight?

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

ive just been practicing recoveries rn

#

This weekend i think

#

i wanna focus on Edge gaurding and Neutral

#

also dropping the “Aggressive Playstyle”

The patient/Bait and Punish style is starting to feel more natural and lowkey more fun

#

Trying to figure out someone habits then abuse the fact that there doing it is fun

#

The execution part is what i need

remote agate
#

going to study some Sonix gameplay before we do our session

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

ill make the arena

#

@drifting anchor
L23S2 // 1

#

hold@on

#

the stages

drifting anchor
#

💀

#

Ama host

remote agate
#

i fixed it

#

but you can host

drifting anchor
#

4TK5R/12

remote agate
#

alright

drifting anchor
#

Gg

remote agate
#

fluke

#

gg

#

gg

drifting anchor
#

Eeeeh that takes practice

#

Gg

remote agate
#

i can do it

#

im not really@playing im just tryna do it

#

💀💀

drifting anchor
#

Oof

remote agate
#

Oof

drifting anchor
#

No jump?

remote agate
#

alr imma try 🫦

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

So

remote agate
#

i doible jumped

drifting anchor
#

One thing that I noticed

remote agate
#

yea

drifting anchor
#

You like to retreat to ledge alot after spindashing

#

If i were you i’d try to poke out my overshooting next time

#

So you can catch me off guard and combo

remote agate
#

Alright

drifting anchor
#

Mix up where you go

#

Basically

remote agate
#

got it

drifting anchor
#

Gg

#

Getting alot better

remote agate
#

dont feel like it

#

honestly.

drifting anchor
#

I mean

#

Ur not getting 3 stocked

remote agate
#

im not winning

drifting anchor
#

Games are closer then they usually are

drifting anchor
#

I’ve been playing for years

#

And ik how to use sonic

#

So therefore

#

Ik how to fight sonic

#

Its hard

#

But even with all of that you still manage to take stocks off me

#

I say thats a w

remote agate
#

sigh

drifting anchor
#

Gg

#

Takes time

#

But you do see the mistakes ur making right?

remote agate
#

no

#

i mean getting off the lexge

#

double jumping whenever i get hit

#

using the same approach not mixing up my options

#

other than that no

drifting anchor
#

ye ye

#

Couple of others

#

Like spindash i feel like you can be quicker with it

#

I mean this by using it to punish

#

You use it more as a threat

#

Like oh shit Am charging spindash be scared

#

but like sometimes they gonna call out ur bluff

#

They’ll rush in

#

Thats when you let go yk?

remote agate
#

yeah

drifting anchor
#

Especially with spincharge

#

Spincharge is good like that

#

really good at punishing landings

#

Keep that in mind

#

Like if am in disadvantage and am in the air without a jump, you should be ready to spincharge punish me

remote agate
#

alright

#

im going to break my mental habit

#

i be afraid of failure/doing something wrong

drifting anchor
#

Don’t put so much pressure on urself

#

Still learning after all

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

Gg

remote agate
#

gg.

drifting anchor
#

Gg

remote agate
#

gg

drifting anchor
#

You just gotta learn how to keep a calm mind when playing, i can tell when your frustrated
It’s pretty important because our opponents can use that against us and get ez dubs like that

#

don’t let that happen

remote agate
#

im lost

#

i dont know what to do bro 💀

drifting anchor
#

Your keeping great spacing

#

But you still let me rush in

#

like

#

You stood there

#

In my burst range

#

I dash attacked

remote agate
#

Yeah i sat my controller down

drifting anchor
#

Why

remote agate
#

fustration

#

I mean i try to watch top players and watch them do certain things. I try it n it doesn’t work

#

And idk what im doing wrong

drifting anchor
#

if u were doing exactly what top players were doing you would’ve beaten me in a 3 stock

remote agate
#

again

#

i try

drifting anchor
#

And its paid off

#

You have gotten better

#

I can feel it

#

I can see it

remote agate
#

Its a lack of knowledge

#

And its not experience anymore i dont know what im doing

#

why i do it and the reasoning behind it

#

I still dont understand neutral. I dont know how to counterplay

#

I dont know how to edge gaurd

#

I mean i see ppl do it and i try it

#

sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt

#

But i feel like if i actually knew the logic behind it i would be better

#

my wifi just went off imma join back in a sec

drifting anchor
#

To answer any questions

#

Ik what am doing for the most part

remote agate
#

So whenever i watch you play

#

as sonic

#

or from what i remember

#

All i see is a ball flying across the map 24/7 and i just get caught by it

#

So i try to emulate that and got 2 stocked

#

that was whenever we first started training with eachother

#

Now im watching Sonix and how he is so patient

#

But i dont know what to do whenever someone is charging at me

#

sometimes whenever i release spindash i get damage taken from that

#

and sometimes my stock

#

What is Sonix doing that im not?

#

im abt to join back now ts turned back on

drifting anchor
#

At a range he can punish

#

Have you seen sonix vs light tho?

remote agate
#

i watched a bit of it

#

Where he F smashed him at like

#

70% n light died

drifting anchor
#

hes alot more aggressive

#

And its bc camping doesn’t work

#

Not saying camping is something you should give up

#

Am saying you shouldn’t always camp

#

Bc it doesn’t always work

#

Lets try something different

#

Experiment a bit

remote agate
#

alright

drifting anchor
#

were gonna play some cat and mouse

#

This time

#

U

#

Ur trya catch me

#

And am running away

#

Dittos

remote agate
#

fuck

drifting anchor
#

Lol

remote agate
#

i just got mixed off the map

drifting anchor
#

You didn’t have to lose your stocks

#

It was me that was supposed to do that

remote agate
#

typa lag

drifting anchor
#

Thats a rip

remote agate
#

did this mf turn the widi off again

#

oh

#

Is this what all top sonics are good at?

#

its hard to hit you

drifting anchor
#

Yeah

#

Evasion

#

And baiting

#

Did you notice how many times u whiffed?

remote agate
#

yea

drifting anchor
#

how u we’re hitting air

remote agate
#

that’s punished

drifting anchor
#

And i was just close enough?

#

That’s ideally how you wanna do it

remote agate
#

isnt this essentially movement?

drifting anchor
#

Yeah

remote agate
#

What i was trying to learn before combos

#

good grief

drifting anchor
#

Gg

#

That jab was so badly misspaced

remote agate
#

So i have to learn Evasion

drifting anchor
#

That

#

And to punish correctly

remote agate
#

is there a reason

#

why we didnt start off with that?

#

Or was my fundamentals just that bad

drifting anchor
#

They were pretty bad ye

#

You have alot of issues to fix

#

But for the most part

#

Its all coming together

#

You just gotta implement it to ur games

remote agate
#

mhm

#

thats crazy

drifting anchor
#

Gg

remote agate
#

gg

drifting anchor
#

your using fair way to much

#

Why do you use fair?

remote agate
#

I do a Non true combo

#

Fair Spincharge

#

fair homing attack

#

Jump Fair or bair

#

depending on if they tech or not

drifting anchor
#

oh nice

#

Thats the thing tho

remote agate
#

Its my main combo starter thats why i do it

drifting anchor
#

You use alot

#

When you could be using something different yk?

#

Like jab

#

Down tilt

remote agate
#

I dont just them

drifting anchor
#

Side tilt

#

uair

#

you use a really risky move

remote agate
#

because my results with them aren’t good

drifting anchor
#

We’ll practice them here

#

Gg

remote agate
#

gg

#

What am i working on trying to chase you

#

again.

It also gives shows you how you can evade and punish as sonic

#

The way i do it

#

Speaking of wrongs

#

Your uairs are on the right idea

#

But

#

And always away from them

#

Easy side tilt

#

If you wanna hit me at all you have to close me out

#

Like how i do with you

#

Look at what i do

#

Pay attention

remote agate
#

am i still chasing you

drifting anchor
#

If i up alot you can uair

#

If am dash dancing spincharge

#

If am shielding grab

#

Cover me and stuff me

drifting anchor
#

Gg

drifting anchor
#

Hey i gtg vux

remote agate
#

alright

drifting anchor
#

Any last min questions?

#

Something you don’t understand

remote agate
#

A list of why im just not good

#

that would be great.

drifting anchor
#

burst range, reaction speed, spacing, edge guarding, whiff punishing, a bit of combos, advantage, disadvantage

#

And neutral

#

questions?

remote agate
#

why is sonix good

drifting anchor
#

His advantage is goated

#

Edge guarding top notch

#

Hes patient

#

But knows when to get in

#

Great understanding of burst range

#

And how to whiff punish

#

Hes got good combos too

#

Doing like 50% off one uair

#

Hes been playing since smash 4 way before

#

Ultimate came out

remote agate
#

i feel like i shouldve learned movement first

#

now at least

drifting anchor
#

I mean ye it’s important

#

But at the time

#

You didn’t know any combos

#

You kinda do now

#

Movement is afterall affiliated with burst range

#

you definitely can practice that more

#

You can go into training mode and do that

#

Just move around

#

Practice it yk

remote agate
#

ill do it later

#

dont have the confidence to do it rn.

drifting anchor
#

Fair

#

Take a break

#

Or steal a W and stop there

remote agate
#

nah im getting off

#

Ill just end up losing and then quitting

remote agate
#

imma just do what i did for football irl. Because its gotten me somewhere

#

Idk where it is now but i had an entire notebook full

#

Of what my 2 favorite wrs do On every down and distance and where they were at on the field at that time

#

what the defense did that triggered the action

#

same strat might work for this

drifting anchor
#

Taking notes?

#

That definitely works

remote agate
#

someone elses game

#

made me better at irl things tremendously.

drifting anchor
#

You should do that for vods

remote agate
#

Ive been top performers as football events n shi from it

drifting anchor
#

Your own, mine, sonix, etc

remote agate
#

im breaking down Sonix Right now

#

Started with his basic neutral now im looking for how he deals with aggressive players

#

then defensive

#

How he deals with projectiles

#

How he plays aggressively in neutral whenever needed

#

How he plays his advantage state

#

what he looks for on ledge

#

why he reacts to certain things that way

#

alot of stuff

drifting anchor
#

Keep track of his movement too

#

His burst range

remote agate
#

I’ll do it for Sonix,Sonido,Craftis,SupergirlKel, You (if i can get your VODs) and myself

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

Ye maybe post it here too

#

So i can review it and see how it is

remote agate
#

later today

#

Im going to put a good 2-3 hours in this since i wont be sleeping soon

drifting anchor
#

That’s reasonable

#

Lmk if you have any questions

remote agate
#

could you send your vods?

drifting anchor
#

I’ll try to respond

#

my vods?

remote agate
#

Or matches

#

replays

#

if you have any

drifting anchor
#

I have a couple online

#

Not the best tho

remote agate
#

Got you

drifting anchor
#

You can take notes of my mistakes and successes

#

What got me hit, what i did to get them hit

remote agate
#

Alrigh

#

Sonix uses spincharge to Punish wiffs

remote agate
#

Sonix explains his patience very clearly here

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor just got my first timeout w

#

💀

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor

remote agate
#

ngl my new mindset is to go for Timeouts

#

I think thats what Wrath does

drifting anchor
#

Still gotta work on that advantage

#

Like you had something going at the beginning when you had him in plats

#

Should’ve reacted to his option and uair comboed him rather than spindashing

#

You also don’t use spincharge much

#

Like ur opponent isn’t shielding

#

Thats an easy spincharge combo

#

There’s also you just throwing f smashes when hes not even close to you lol

#

Not gonna hit him across the stage

#

Lastly u gotta be more aware

#

Dude rolled in alot

#

You could’ve read it and went for an up smash yk?

remote agate
#

yeah

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor did this man just download the complete situation (First stock at the beginning)

remote agate
#

@drifting anchor
If you are available tonight can we go through these

remote agate
#

[

drifting anchor
#

I can try Tuesday

remote agate
#

I got Official Season Matches Tuesday and Wednesday

remote agate
#

what’s a good way to practice edgegaurding?

remote agate
#

I also won alot more wit sonic today at practices c:

drifting anchor
#

Nice

#

For edge guarding it’s something you just

#

Go for

#

So next time you play

#

When ur opponent is off stage

#

Really pay attention to where they are

#

And try to hit them

#

You don’t even need to follow them

#

You can just pressure them to make a move

remote agate
#

I implemented this

#

into my tool kit

#

got like 2 kills off it

#

Another thing i have a question for is
How do i beat someone who doesn’t care about Spindash? Like they are continuously blitzing me.

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

well that may just be bait and punishing

#

that comes overtime

remote agate
drifting anchor
remote agate
drifting anchor
#

💀

drifting anchor
#

🤔

remote agate
#

Im not a QB So i wouldn’t know 💀

#

as a WR i speed my route up and attack more aggressively

drifting anchor
#

Attack more aggressively then

#

Thats what you do

remote agate
#

okay bet

drifting anchor
#

When someone calls out ur spindash its bc they know its coming

#

It could also be ur burst range

#

But if their hitting you when your charging you can do a couple of things

#

You can let it rip early and catch them before they catch you

#

You can jump spindash above

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

And either spinshot out or spindash through them

drifting anchor
#

And if yk they’re coming at you, down b to them

#

Make sure your far enough to NOT get hit tho

#

bc if ur in their burst range and ur still charging you WILL get hit

remote agate
#

Another thing is I think im starting to understand now.

What makes top players so good is that really the neutral but its the advantage state. 60% during an Advantage state is more affective than the 30% i usually do

So Combo game and pushing my advantage is something i’ll work on tonight

drifting anchor
#

Been saying that for a while yes

#

Your catching on

#

💯

remote agate
#

Learning 🤓

drifting anchor
#

Speaking of learning i gotta finish my HW

remote agate
#

You were right tho the more i play the more i understand

#

Alright lmao

drifting anchor
#

It takes a while

#

You won’t get good in a single month

#

Remember that

#

Its ok to lose

#

Learn from it yk?

remote agate
#

I accepted the fact that i loze

#

lose*

#

now I do VOD Reviews

#

and See why i lost an interaction

#

and habits that i do

drifting anchor
#

Great

#

keep doing that

#

I’m gonna do finish my hw now tho

#

Take care keep grinding

remote agate
#

alright bro take care

remote agate
drifting anchor
#

It is isn’t it

remote agate
#

i was going to enter

#

but im going to wait

remote agate
#

No matter how much patience i have

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

Like i spindash and they either clank it

#

or beat it

#

and then i try to use the fist and other things

#

and im still getting beat lmao

drifting anchor
#

Sounds like ur timing it wrong then

remote agate
#

eh.

drifting anchor
#

Which spindash is it

#

Down b or side b

#

And how charged is it

remote agate
remote agate
drifting anchor
#

When their close

remote agate
#

Outside the burst range

drifting anchor
#

So you release spincharge when they’re outside the burst range?

#

When u do that how charged is it

remote agate
#

i charge it outside

#

and whenever they come into my range i release.

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

yep

drifting anchor
#

Yeah its the timing

remote agate
#

some dude told me to “Play Sonic Right, be aggressive”

drifting anchor
#

When ur charging spindash you wanna make sure your outside ur opponents burst range BUT when you release it you wanna make sure they whiff in front of you

#

So like from the sounds of it they’re dash attacking early

#

but if you wait it out, they should whiff any move they do right in front you

remote agate
#

I was playing a fox too n he was just jumping and nairing or whatever that kick is

drifting anchor
#

Oh ye

remote agate
#

Its like i cant condition the opponent.

drifting anchor
#

For that you can just spindash away

#

Or use spindash jump to catch his landing

#

You can also spindash hop to avoid the nair

drifting anchor
remote agate
#

💀 n if i dont do it right or its not working im fucked in my eyes

drifting anchor
#

so i can know exactly what their doing and what your doing

remote agate
#

but i think i have a Vod of someone being aggressive let me look

drifting anchor
#

Ye if anything play a match where the scenario happens

remote agate
#

heres a match where i got completely destroyed

#

i kinda notice what was going on the next game and won but this is a similar situation

drifting anchor
#

Gimmie 3 hours

remote agate
#

alright cool all g

#

Hey

drifting anchor
#

Ye?

remote agate
#

do you have any vods of your latest tourney?

#

I can watch

drifting anchor
#

Sure

#

I’ll send them later

remote agate
#

alright

remote agate
#

im going to go back to my aggressive playstyle

#

So i can push my advantage state better

#

but keep the same type of neutral i have currently

#

think Ken is the person to study

remote agate
#

jeez

#

im starting to get it ngl its fun too

drifting anchor
#

mb for taking long

#

wrote some notes about ur game with the squirtle here
