Would but I’m bad at Mario

[sleek geode]

ah

[sleek geode]

(when you wait patiently)

[maiden field]

Sure then

Like no one else is coming tbh

I might as well help

[maiden field]

When will you be on

[sleek geode]

Lemme dig out my switch, i can do rn

alr i'm hopping on

[maiden field]

So main thing off rip I’m looking for combo game

If your combo game is mid, I’ll probably just say you need to go into the lab to practice them

[sleek geode]

makes sense

[maiden field]

Some characters don’t need combos like ness, Samus, or snake but others really need them like Mario, inkling, and greninja

[sleek geode]

i stink at combos tbh

[maiden field]

I’ll probably just say that then

[sleek geode]

hmm

[maiden field]

Next after that I’ll probably pay more attention to your neutral

[sleek geode]

got it

[maiden field]

M4WTH

17

[sleek geode]

i get turned around so much 🤦

[maiden field]

Ngl

I don’t want to end it here but like I should probably end it here

[sleek geode]

fr

[maiden field]

Cuz I do think I just got everything you need to work on from that match

Yeah you just need to work on combo game, movement, not using smash attacks, and edge guarding.

[sleek geode]

hmm

makes sense

[maiden field]

So first I’ll talk about edge guarding. Basically you should jump before you go offstage so you are above or on the same level as them which helps edge guard. If they are really high up you shouldn’t try to really edge guard. You died second stock bc you jumped off stage and then didn’t have a jump to get back

Combos are just combos. Look up a combo video online, there are tons

[sleek geode]

🙂‍↕️

[maiden field]

Movement is hard to describe since you shouldn’t always move the same way but yours felt choppy.

Watch these

[sleek geode]

some of that had to do with lag

Not using smash attacks as much is also rly simple

[sleek geode]

It's a habit

[maiden field]

Break free then

[sleek geode]

back in 2020 i did that a lot lol

[maiden field]

You also gotta stop just doing run up side b

[sleek geode]

I caped twice when I was trying to up special 🤦

[maiden field]

Into up b

[sleek geode]

hmm

[maiden field]

Ok so watch the second video please

@sleek geode I didn’t mean the entirety of it btw

Just meant the first match

[sleek geode]

oh uh

That caught me off-guard

[maiden field]

That’s ok

Basically i want you to try moving like the Mario in the video

[sleek geode]

ok

[maiden field]

3 more

You should stay on stage when you use fludd

Alr that’s it

[sleek geode]

ggs

and thanks

[maiden field]

Practice on the things I told you about

Ggs

[sleek geode]

👍

[maiden field]

Especially the movement

[sleek geode]

Got it

[sleek geode]

Based on my performance, what CPU level should I practice with?

@maiden field

(sorry for late ping)

[fallen pivot]

Level 9

7 8 or 9

That’s when your comfortable with the lower cpus

[sleek geode]

trying 7 rn

i was on 8 and kept getting slimed

then again 7 seems too easy
