I think PPU is relatively aggro too, but maybe I know nothing about Marth ^^ Wait, he's in mainland full time now?!?! Omg yes. He's so good. He came to Long Island in October and ran through our weekly with Link. His spacing and combos are so on point. And yeah, I was at Super Nebulous. You should have seen him and Hax after GF. They kept playing for an hour and a half, and it was only about 60/40 in Hax's favor. If HDL is here to stay, I fully expect him to be ranked in the top 20 by the end of next year. His Marth dittos are incredible and his play against spacies is so crisp. | ||

of course it's easier said than done but that's the idea in many matchups | ||

this is what I use for my stream in an amazon list (<20€) http://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3MII430S5KXEY/ref=topnav_lists_2 I use the EasyCap DC60, that's unavailable on german Amazon atm, that's why I added the noname clone (it's actually more expensive), it might not work as well and easycap isn't working as well for everyone as it does for me, but the investment is minimal! I'll delete the link in a few days, don't really want it hanging out on a forum :D (software: OBS... Free and probably best Streaming software atm) ediT: and disregard the webcams, currently looking for a new one, they have nothing to do with the recording setup edit2: 2 Friends are experiencing some issues with my capture card, seems to be not very reliable | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I got completely wrecked. Not surprised. Although, i noticed a lot of my faults, most of which (of course), tend to be nooby mistakes. I have a tendency to shield and roll a lot. I don't know how to react to shield pressure. I'm not the best at edgeguarding, and I'm bad at DI'ing/I hardly DI/I don't mix up techs, or i get read really easily. And above all, I'm terrible in Fox Vs Falco matchups and Fox Vs CF matchups. Tips for those matchups? Also, what's the best way to improve if i can't go to tournaments VERY often and don't have a good enough computer for netplay? I'm mostly expecting something along the lines of, "either practice tech or just more experience in general" | ||

I'm mostly expecting something along the lines of, "either practice tech or just more experience in general" Got friends who play? Contact them. Play friendlies with everyone at the tournaments, from the very best there to the very worst. Ask them for their contact info and tell them to text you if they're playing smash and text them if you want to play. If your area has a facebook group for smash or a smashboards thread, get on those. Time in the lab is definitely integral but so is a diverse range of practice partners. Sometimes while you're playing at someone's place, instead of doing friendlies do sets. If you want to win during the pressure of a tournament set it helps to practice in sets. Play a best of 3 with stage striking and banning and all that jazz and take some time between games to think about what you could have done better. Sometimes, instead of doing sets, do friendlies. Remember that in friendlies, winning doesn't matter. Take the time while playing friendlies to experiment and see what happens if you choose followup y instead of followup x, or try to play a game where you force yourself not to roll at all for example. Watch videos! Videos are like guidebooks in themselves. When you watch a video for matchup advice don't be afraid to pause, rewatch, watch in slow motion to catch these things. I wouldn't really advise watching for fancy combos and stuff; those tend to be in the moment and so they're difficult to replicate. Especially with Fox there are a lot of typical two or three hit combos but there's no way an extended combo comes out of a can. Watch for spacing and decisions in neutral, watch for move selection, watch for general game plans. When you're watching a vod and someone does something that you didn't anticipate or think he was going to do, pause and ask yourself why. Why did they choose that move? Why did you think of whichever move you thought of? What would have been the best? Lots of people think netplay sucks; I don't have it so I dunno. But it lags and stuff so if you wanna play netplay you have to play and practice differently. Since it lags you can't really practice the timing-precise things too well (or so I hear) so you have to focus on different aspects. I would say that if you can go to other people's places to play smash or have people come over to your place to play on an actual setup then you should basically always do that instead. When you ask for matchup advice you should also try to ask more specifically. Unfortunately I doubt I can help you out so much since I don't play fox/cf/falco but it helps a lot if you try to think about specifically what happens to you that makes you lose so people can help you out more. | ||

Against most characters, Marth actually wants to dashdance grab a lot in neutral. It's probably not as good vs Fox because he's fast / in the air / often throwing out aerials. Instead, pressure him so that he shields and try to grab that, or try to combo into grab (fair, utilt, uair all combo into grab at certain DI's / %s.) | ||

How do I play against a fox who is much much better than me? He went last hit last stock with mango, beat KDJ and Wobbles, etc... I just don't feel like I can get in on him at all. | ||

well, obviously you won't be able to beat him now, but your goal is to be able to beat him! On your own, you can practice tech skill; with other people, practice punish game (how to punish certain options, and guaranteed followups off of those punishes), edgeguards, etc. When you play with him / other better players, every time you get hit, think about what decisions you made led up to that, what the spacing was before you tried what you did, and how he covered that option by you. That'll help you with neutral. Also, ask him questions. At the beginning, he can't give you that many good answers because it'll all be general advice, but you can still use that general advice. Later on, having a top player to practice with + a good work ethic probably results in you being very good at the game edit: "I can't get in on him at all." I think Marth fundamentally has to be more defensive in the matchup; your goal is to zone Fox out until either (a) he messes up, or (b) you push him to the ledge. | ||

Edit: I mean this in a shield pressure capcity, I know to use if for projectiles. | ||

This includes: after l-cancelling an aerial on his shield, as an oos option (shine oos or wavedash -> shine oos for laggier moves), to continue combos where they're right on top of you, or maybe even as an approach (running shine with fox is pretty good lolz). Also, Fox's shine is a good edgeguarding tool. | ||

Shine also comes out so fast that it can beat an opponent grabbing you. Another option is to use a shine after a downthrow, but experienced players will tech it. Might work as a mixup. | ||

in fact its probably better not to use shine to reflect stuff | ||
