Lets go?
Uhh yeah, I understand the basics of doc like how pill is important and how to recover with him, but I cant seem to take hits properly w/o getting comboed or ledge pressured, leading me to a high percentage pretty early in game, and I want to learn how to edgeguard properly as doc

Yeah that couldve gone better 😭
fair geyser
So mostly with edge guarding you don’t want to go too far out because ofc you can’t come back
Usually what works is a nair, bair, or down b
Nair and down b last a long time and down b and bair can often kill

And this is more personal but I feel like I also need to learn how to control my emotions better, because as you may know I have this goal of getting to elite smash, and the more stressed out I am, the worse I get

Ok right so look at it this way rn
Most ppl don’t rly care if they get into elite or not
Some people do
It doesn’t rly affect how fast you get there though
Like irl a lot of ppl worry about things that aren’t something they can reasonably control
You’ll eventually get to elite and if you don’t, it doesn’t matter anyway
Just play your best and have fun
Also something to note you kept attacking out of disadvantage

Alright, I get told that a lot, and I try to, but also people on quickplay are well… yeah, I’m trying to take it as funny but unfortunately is not easy
Could be due to autism but idfk

Also something to note you kept attacking out of disadvantage
Is that something I’m supposed to do or no?

Whoops

And sorry about this, I just needed to address the problems with my gameplay
So go again?
You ready?
chilly niche
Also question, what am I supposed to do when a fast swordie like Roy is pressuring me? Like I can’t do anything because if I shield; grabbed, if I jump; Attacked, If I do anything, then they have the advantage
fair geyser
You mostly still shield
chilly niche
Lowk just stop going off stage
Also cold 😭
fair geyser
Alr
fair geyser
Also damn bro 😭
I wasn’t getting back anyway
chilly niche
Back
fair geyser
You gotta stop going offstage mate
chilly niche
What am I supposed to do then if I can’t bair or fair off stage
I wanna edgeguard
So how I stocked you with fair, so I have to do something like that when I want to edge guard on stage?
fair geyser
So how I stocked you with fair, so I have to do something like that when I want ...
That’s called ledge trapping
chilly niche
Oh yeah
fair geyser
When you don’t believe that you can get them off stage you can stay on stage and do that
fair geyser
What am I supposed to do then if I can’t bair or fair off stage
You haven’t rly been doing either of those off stage Ngl
chilly niche
Yep that’s on me
chilly niche
How about we call it here, you clearly need to go at some point and I don’t wanna interrupt that
chilly niche
Thanks, and sorry for the off stage shenanigans, force of habit 😭
fair geyser
1st one don’t use dair
Off stage
Pls use the three options I listed
Ik I’m clipping you but that’s irrelevant to me using it off stage
When playing this game you gotta play 90% right all the time
The rest of the time is doing silly stuff and clip hunting
2nd I need you to practice some confirms
I didn’t see down throw up air from you or down throw down b
Also down tilt up b is pretty true and is a kill confirm at higher percents
I don’t think the combos are that hard to practice
chilly niche
I didn’t see down throw up air from you or down throw down b
I use down throw down B but another coach told me that it isn’t a good combo
fair geyser
I think dr has more but I genuinely wouldnt know
fair geyser
Yeah don’t listen to that guy too much
Grain of salt
Also don’t listen to me too much either
Just in case my information conflicts with things you either know or things you think is bad
But the reason I saw do practice down throw down b is bc it’s a kill confirm that kills at like 60-80 reliably
So he either was ill informed on that combo or you were doing it at low percents or just not hitting it true
Or third thing, if someone touches your shield you should up b
You will probably hit them
If you don’t start experimenting mentally with the stuff
So for the combo video dw too much abt most of it
If you can’t do it or think the opportunity to do the combo would never come up then you can just not do it
Yeah that’s kinda it for rn
I do expect at least a 2 m gsp increase from whatever your current gsp is
chilly niche
Well fuck my life then because I went down from 4 mill to 3 mill
fair geyser
Well fuck my life then because I went down from 4 mill to 3 mill
Did you ever go into the practice mode to practice combos?
Or stopped going offstage
chilly niche
Good point, I do need to go into training more, I usually just jump straight to quickplay
fair geyser
Combos to remember.
Dtilt- up b/ True at every percent and is a kill confirm.
Dtilt- grab/ leads into grab which starts a lot of things.
Bair- grab/ mid percent combo that can kill if you get the right percent on them.
Down throw/ combos into everything you’d want
Dair/ high percent combo starter that can lead into kills
chilly niche
Dude I dont think its the combos I need to work on, I think its my disadvantage state
fair geyser
Personally I don’t feel like that was the main problem
Except for you always swinging out of disadvantage I didn’t feel it was that bad
However the main reason I won half of those matches is bc I got more confirmed damage on you
Like I got a grab and you gained 20-25%
When you got one it was like 10%
But which part of disadvantage is it
Getting off ledge, getting edge guarded, getting comboed
chilly niche
I think its the ledge and edgeguard because no matter what I do, my opponent still has the higher ground
fair geyser
I suppose try not to be so predictable
When you played me, I did one common edge guard
I went somewhat under you and came up w down b
When you jumped early or other things like that you often survived
I was not paying too much attention to the ledge trapping since I’ve forgotten what you did and how I exploited it so sry abt that
Mostly though it might be a problem with always going low
chilly niche
Yeah I dont think im ever gonna get good, I got two stocked by someone with around 1.9 mill gsp
