So you like kirby?

quick geode

#

ik what a short hop is in smash

#

and

#

uh

#

lemme think

polar lodge
#

alr

#

take your time

quick geode
#

grab

#

and then

#

uh

#

throw

#

and then

#

perfect sheild

#

and yeah

polar lodge
#

oh yeah perfect shield is called a parry

#

Provides a few frames for you to react

quick geode
#

how many frames

#

tho

polar lodge
#

uhhh

#

About 3 I think

#

But there's also the end lag of your opponent's moves

quick geode
#

thats wild

polar lodge
#

So like fox has 0 end lag from the time you parry

#

Vs dk smash attack or something

#

that's a lot of frames to react lol

quick geode
#

yeah

#

i need help on grabbing at the perfect time

#

every time i usually try to grab i miss it

#

well not every time

#

When dealing with beginners, be sure to check for the absolute basics, including, but not limited to:

  • Use of the shield button
  • Roll dodging
  • Spot dodging
  • Air dodging (pay attention to ensure neutral air dodge is being used!)
  • Shield shuffling (both single and double shield shuffling)
  • Grabs (and pummels when grabbing)
  • Shorthops (manual shorthops [flick jump], auto-shorthops [both jump buttons], and auto-shorthop aerials [jump button+attack])
  • Understanding of difference between shorthop and fullhop (visual demo is appropriate)
  • Full use of all A moves (light jab, gentleman jab, rapid jabs, dash attacks, tilts [f,d,u], aerials [f,b,u,d], charged and uncharged smash attacks)
  • Full use of all B moves [u,d,s], including maximum optimisation (for example, some up-Bs can be exited into an attack or air dodge)
  • Walks, including micro-walk (only if tilt jump is disabled, note)
  • Initial dash (lead into foxtrotting; dash shielding)
  • Run frames and why run animation is different from initial dash/walks (E.G. running is slower for Ganon than initial dash, but for some running is faster than initial dash E.G. Duck Hunt)
  • Appropriate basic counterplay E.G. grabs to counter shields; shields to counter attacks; spot dodges to counter grab; attacks to counter grabs)
  • Dynamic use of ledge recovery (do they use all possible options? Neutral/Attack/Jump/Roll-on/Drift back/Drop down)
  • Regrab limits on ledge (maximum of 5 regrabs or 6 grabs total; resets if you touch stage)
  • Wall jumps (if applicable to character)
  • Appropriate recovery technique (do they only use up-B, or do they use jump, air dodge, up-B in variations?)
  • Appropriate edge guarding (do they stay on stage, or go out and threaten with edge guarding?)
    Praise good techniques as appropriate and constructively critique bad techniques by offering alternatives.
