@hasty forum are you good for any time this week

#

I didn't know there was such need for ness/lucas coaches

hasty forum
#

Yeah I got so much going on irl rn and ofc it's when everyone wants to learn these chars

#

@keen vine I can do rn, do you want Lucas or Ness

keen vine
#

rn is good

keen vine
hasty forum
#

It's whichever one you wanna learn

#

Alr

keen vine
#

keen vine
#

ok

#

Yeah you don't wanna try and land on me with nair like that

#

Lucas really struggles to threaten from above like that

keen vine
#

I didn't know ftilt anti aired like that

#

I need to get up angle down

hasty forum
#

You likely will just got stuffed out

#

Yeah you can angle it up

#

A big thing I'm noticing is you don't try to fight me for stage control, you kinda just let me move and hold center and then I get to control the pace at that point

#

You don't wanna be corned as Lucas

#

Moving backwards is a big tool he relies on

keen vine
#

ok

#

with this coaching thing should I really lock in like play music and turn off my youtube in the background.

hasty forum
#

I don't listen to anything when I'm playing in bracket

#

It's preference tbh

#

But I put all my focus on the game

keen vine
#

but should I treat this like i'm in bracket would it make the coaching better

hasty forum
#

I mean

#

Whatever you want to get out of is up to you

#

If you think treating it seriously will help then do what'll work for you

keen vine
#

ok

hasty forum
#

I would stop the nair to uptilt flowchart

#

You do it everytime

#

It's super not safe on block

#

You're paying close attention to the spacing your djcz and it's why you're not really getting anything off of them

#

If I'm too far out you need to microdash between or go for dash grab

keen vine
#

ok

#

@keen vine has earned the Guardian role!

keen vine
#

fd sometimes fucks with my mind when I'm trying to focus on the characters do you know anything to get around that or is it just something I have to deal with

#

last game just reminded me of that

hasty forum
#

If it's bracket you can request the uhhh, what stage is it? Wuhu Resort or something like that

#

You can request the omega version of that stage

#

They should allow, most brackets do

keen vine
#

just omega wuhu resort?

#

seems oddly specific

hasty forum
#

Yeah whatever the wii sports stage is

#

Not all the omega stages are legal

#

That's why

keen vine
#

I thought all the non 2d ones were the same

hasty forum
#

And that way has no visual impairments

#

Watch your spacing on your pk fire, don't wanna do it point blank

keen vine
#

that one I just wasn't locked in

hasty forum
#

And also watch me before you decide to pk fire

#

If I'm not doing anything

#

I am waiting for the pk fire

#

And I will shield it on reaction

keen vine
#

ok

hasty forum
#

Oh yeah there's this like weird you have I've noticed

#

Where like I have you ledge, you successfully get past me

#

And then you air dodge towards me and I'm okay thanks I guess

#

I'm not sure why you do that

keen vine
#

i'm used to playing against bad players

hasty forum
#

Your goal at ledge is to get back neutral, ideally get past me and take stage control

keen vine
#

playing only elite and tabletop with my friends for the past few months has brought out alot of bad habits

hasty forum
#

This is low upload speed

#

One second

keen vine
#

ok

hasty forum
#

Yeah my connection seems to be dipping dunno if it's gonna recover

keen vine
#

did I regrab?

#

that felt odd

hasty forum
#

No but you tethered really quickly

keen vine
#

I thought I buffered a roll

#

getup

hasty forum
#

Your iframes at ledge is based on how long you're offstage

#

And your percentage

#

So high percent + immediate tether

#

That's why when I see you tether quickly I start trying to ftilt your ledgehang

keen vine
#

I didn't think it did

hasty forum
#

No

keen vine
#

i thought I woudl be ok bc i buffereed something

hasty forum
#

Nah you tethered way too fast

#

The only reason I ever instantly pull in

#

Is if I think they're gonna try and hit me offstage

#

Otherwise just stall

#

I think the biggest thing is you're struggling to poke at me

#

And open me up

#

I think you're trying a little too hard and it's playing into my favor too much

#

Gotta use falling fair more instead of nair

#

It's pretty much impossible for me to contest fair

#

And just be more patient

#

I am very hard to hit but don't play into my game

keen vine
#

I didn't think it came out

#

pk fire so weird to deal with

hasty forum
#

Eh

#

Kinda Ig?

#

It's super to just react to and shield

#

Problem is, you're jumping around all the time and it's specifically designed to deal with that

#

But if you just wait for it you will shield it on reaction

#

I keep trying to parry it and I'm misjudging my distance to you

#

My timing is off

#

Most the time

keen vine
#

I noticed

hasty forum
#

There are some instances where you do catch me trying to press something but mostly I do react to them

#

So it's possible

#

I'ma switch to Ness, you can stay Lucas

keen vine
#

ok

#

alot of things I want to do aren't happeneing

hasty forum
#

Happens

#

Oh I forgot

#

144 is uthrow kill percent on stages that don't have a higher ceiling

#

In the Lucas ditto

#

Ness weighs the same so same percent

#

Noticed you throwing too early often

keen vine
#

I need to learn the frame data and that stuff

#

I don't know whats fast or what's safe

hasty forum
#

General rule of thumb

#

Moves that have range, and control space your opponent wants to occupy

#

Fast moves are just fast and you can tell by observing them

#

So for Lucas tho

#

Zair

#

Fair

#

Ftilt

#

Those are your main neutral tools

#

Nair is complimentary, uair a mixup / whiff punish

#

Etc

#

This one has to be my last

keen vine
#

ok

hasty forum
#

Final thoughts

#

Djcz from ledge is overrated

#

Your timing is better than most Lucas mains I fought though

#

They tend to have a super predictable timing for when they do it but you mixed it a little better

keen vine
#

ok

hasty forum
#

For when you decide to djcz from ledge

#

Timing is super important

#

Because if idk what you're gonna do

#

But ik when

#

Then I just do options that'll cover everything

keen vine
hasty forum
#

I think just be more patient when you're ledgetrapping

#

If you noticed, a lot of my ledgetrapping is I'll do all option

#

And then I just wait and see how you react

#

You don't have to be so aggressive when you have the other person cornered

#

Let them make some mistakes and punish that

#

You can apply pressure but just be aware of what you're doing

#

In general, watch me more and watch what part of the stages I can threaten my options from

#

Like you got hit by a few plat fires because you would always position yourself around them

keen vine
#

ok

hasty forum
#

If you have any questions feel free

keen vine
hasty forum
#

Ness plays midrange like Lucas but the way he implements it is a little different

#

Lucas is playing super grounded, using your shff to drift in and out of ranges and boxing with your disjoints

#

Ness is more baity, he wants to force the opponent into overextensions by using fair and then drifting out

#

Or fair to catch people jumping

#

Plat fire to control center stage

#

But overall Ness wants to bait and punish and then force the other person into a pressure state

#

Because that's where he snowballs hard

keen vine
#

ok

#

about execution and combos are there any guides that have the best combos and guides that aren't just nair -> fair for both characters

hasty forum
#

They're likely out there
