Also I just accidentally deleted the initial request so I had to repost it lol

[languid phoenix]

11:30 pm-12:30am

[brazen ferry]

Oh, midday, thanks!

Wait. No

Midnight?

I'm an idiot

[languid phoenix]

Yeah

Can’t do midday cause that’s when I land in the US

[brazen ferry]

Ah okay

I go to work around midday so I was hoping is was midnight

Well, thank you for doing this!

[languid phoenix]

Great I’ll see you then

[languid phoenix]

@brazen ferry ok so the worst thing possible just happened

I missed my flight and so I cannot do Saturday night , but I can do Sunday at around the same time too

[brazen ferry]

That works for me as well!

I hope your flight goes well

[languid phoenix]

Good news, I landed and I am home

The session should still be good. I can actually do earlier at 9:30 PM cst

[brazen ferry]

So tonight at 11:30PM right?

[languid phoenix]

Is it possible to do it earlier?

[languid phoenix]

I got an involvement fair to be at in the afternoon on Labor Day so if we can do 9:30 that would be sick

[brazen ferry]

Yeah, I'll see if I can to earlier

I just have to look over my schedule

[languid phoenix]

Take your time

[languid phoenix]

@brazen ferry sooooo family emergency came up, don’t think I can do today. Lmk when your next available day is and I will most likely be free

[brazen ferry]

That's alright, uh, I'm not really available through the day so nighttime is the best for me. We could do it at 10:00PM any night of the week, later on Fridays like 1:00AM kind of late

[languid phoenix]

That sound good to me

[brazen ferry]

Let me know if any of these days work for you

[languid phoenix]

I should be good today at 11:30 pm

[languid phoenix]

Hey letting you know I'm still feeling the effects of jet lag so I might be cutting today's session short, but we can follow up tomorrow at the same time

Probably gonna do like a quick best of 5 to get an idea of what you need to work on and then tomorrow we get a training regimen going

[brazen ferry]

Yeah, that works for me!

[brazen ferry]

Hey, I know I’m a bit early but let me know when you’re ready

[languid phoenix]

All good I should free in 3-5 minutes

[brazen ferry]

Alright!

[languid phoenix]

Alright I am ready

Arena is 9DDKD/123

[brazen ferry]

Okay

I can VC if you want?

[languid phoenix]

I can't, family is asleep

[brazen ferry]

No problem

[languid phoenix]

Im gonna go random to see how you do against different types of characters

Will also play a total of 5 games today and point out some stuff to start off

[brazen ferry]

Ok

[languid phoenix]

ooo my skin too

So you know the basic combos which is good

And that nair is absolutely busted

[brazen ferry]

I’m trying

[languid phoenix]

That's alright, you are relearning after all

That was an unfortunate game

Imma not count that cause of the sd's

[brazen ferry]

Thank you..

That was rough

[languid phoenix]

I will say though, you do like to jump early when you get sent into tumble. That's when you get launched and roll around in the air

If you are unsure about what to do, you can nair and then fast fall to mix up recoveries, or get an arrow ready to cover people trying to edge guard you as well

Down air is a good move to land with but use it sparingly. Use it when you know someone is gonna try and punish a landing or if you can read their missed techs, moves, etc

Also you should do down throw up air instead of down throw up b

It's a more consistent combo

Rip no jump

Another habit I am catching is that after you double jump, you like to air dodge. Try not to do that a lot because it puts you into hella endlag and I'm just gonna run up and punish you

At low percents when you grab, down throw is the best option. Otherwise when you have me at a higher percent, it is better to send me offstage with a forward throw or a back throw

I see that your movement is a big sluggish. Try going back to the main menu and changing your stick sensitivity from normal to high. It'll be at the joycon logo in the smash section, and do it after the session

For me, the way I like to play yink is I always love to move. If I am stopping it's to get a bomb, but otherwise I am everywhere on the map

For recoveries, when you feel like you are very far away from your opponent(and they don't have a projectile), you can pull out a bomb and then immediately directional air dodge. It stalls you in the air enough to where it will explode and you can up b again

One more and I will also send a video and if you have any questions I can answer them

I see that you like to go for boomerang, then arrow, and then forward air regardless of anything hits

[brazen ferry]

That’s because I mainly panic and don’t know what to do

[languid phoenix]

Yeah I felt that

If you are every in doubt, just sit in a corner and send out projectiles

That's something you should do more. Just send out hitboxes when you can

Boomerang can cover a wild range of approaches, such as in the air, behind you, or even set you up for a big combo

Arrow is good at peppering you opponent while also being a good combo tool

[brazen ferry]

Okay

[languid phoenix]

Bomb is very good for set play as well as being one of your main recovery options

I will say that your movement is very clunky rn, so you should definitely get back into grinding

[brazen ferry]

I wanted to ask if you could make a short list of what I should work on for now?

[languid phoenix]

sure

[brazen ferry]

Yeah, I just started classes again so it’s a bit of a struggle

[languid phoenix]

1. Jump less when you get sent out. And when you do jump, don't air dodge immediately. Instead, throw out a nair when landing/fast falling to have an active hitbox out and maybe use arrow to punish people going too fair out for an edge guard.
2. Try and play a bit farther away from your opponent. For now, it's best to use a playstyle that won't let you get hit by anything they send, so staying back sometimes is the play.
3. Don't be afraid of certain options. I saw you drop shield a bunch because you thought I was gonna go for something but it never came out, or even when I didn't know, you miss an opportunity to punish me. So work on general confidence in this game.
4. Watch these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSep92_Z4CU&t=17s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UopyuXelF7k
   These should help you get a grasp of the basics
5. Utilize your projectiles a lot more as well as tilt attacks. They aren't even associate so something is wrong

This is what i can come up with. I am like hard dozing off rn

So i'll put this out here, revisit and expand on it tomorrow

[brazen ferry]

Thank you so much!

We can play earlier like 9:00PM if that’s better for you?

[languid phoenix]

I think I have someone else at that time

But I will keep you updated on if they do respond

[brazen ferry]

Alright

Whatever time past 8:30PM works for me

[languid phoenix]

aight bet

Have a good night, i'll go into more detail tomorrow

[brazen ferry]

You too

Thanks again

[brazen ferry]

Hey

[languid phoenix]

Hey, so I’m super tired and can’t run this today. I should be free tomorrow since I have no plans

[brazen ferry]

No problem

I was going to ask if we could do this tomorrow too

[brazen ferry]

Hey, are you available today?

[languid phoenix]

I should be. Gimme a bit though

[brazen ferry]

Yeah no problem, we can also wait until the weekend if that's better? I don't know when you're busy

[languid phoenix]

Weekends I should be free cause I’m working hella late

So we can move it to tomorrow or Saturday

[brazen ferry]

Yeah, that's better for me too

Thank you for rescheduling a lot

I hope it's not too annoying

[languid phoenix]

Nah it’s all good LOL

[brazen ferry]

Alright, thanks again!
