Aerodrome's Guidance - Smash Tutoring from Beginner to Intermediate Levels!

  3. Aerodrome's Guidance - Smash Tutoring from Beginner to Intermediate Levels!
I've been thinking about doing something like this for a while. Basically what I'm offering is a way for newcomers to the competitive scene to learn the ins and outs of their respective characters and Smash 4 in general.

For the moment I'm focusing mostly on newer players, to help them with:

- Basic to intermediate gameplay advice
- Basic character specific advice

Although this is directed at newer players, more experienced players are more than welcome to play with me, although I think there will be less of a chance that I will be either willing or even able to point out holes in your gameplay.

So basically how this works is that you tell me who you main, and we organize a time to play some Wi-Fi. If you play a character I can play effectively, then I will play that character against you if you want, to which I highly recommend that you save replays and watch how I play the character and pick tips up from that.

After the Wi-Fi session, I'll let you know of the biggest flaws in your gameplay that I saw for you to work on. Fixing these will improve your gameplay immensely.

So, let's go!

I honestly can't put my finger on what you're doing wrong, I mean, you're losing but I'm not sure why. I have this feeling you're not shielding or air dodging that much since I don't remember ever hitting a shield.

You also are approaching as Megaman which is unusual and you probably shouldn't do this, some of your approaches were quite bizarre too, like dash grab (who does this?).

You're really not doing anything wrong per se, but you're not exactly playing the best you could be. I would recommend you just keep playing since I think you'll naturally just get better.

Is this your first smash game played competitively?

AFAIK, sheik has a difficult time killing. Your best bet is to try catch them with a bouncing fish after Fthrow/Fair or after a Dthrow, bait out an air dodge to Uair. Vanish can kill them if they dont expect it.

Aero i'm pretty interested in this. Really keen to start improving/learning more and getting involved in the online tournaments. Having someone experienced point out things for me to work on would be a great help. I'm aware of some stuff already that i need to improve/fix but I'm sure there's more.

No point playing lol
GGS btw, really appreciate you going hard on me using your sheik. Helps a lot cause those characters I struggle with.

GGs, you've gotten so much better than when I first played you lol

A couple of things I noticed:

Ledge Options - Your ledge options are quite linear, 90% of the time you use a get up attack or a standard get up which both can be read and punished easily because they're both in the same spot. The other 10% are like, rolls. You never jump.

You tend to be aggressive without Luma - play more passively when Luma dies and try to punish approaches with retreating attacks. Luma is an important part of your offense and defense, example: dsmash does 13% with Luma and 7% without. Wait for Luma to respawn while keeping enemies at bay with jabs, shield grabs, retreating nair, pivot grabs, dtilt and retreating ftilt.

I don't really have much more advice for you sorry, you've developed into a pretty decent player and you were beating my secondaries fairly solidly.
Also Rosalina struggles vs characters like Sheik and Diddy mainly because they can get in and get out. Rosalina doesn't have the mobility or tools to get them off her.

Alright buddy, name a date and time that we can play.

I'm easy with any date and time 90% of the time.

Thanks. I never noticed the ledge options - I feel like I'm 50/50 with rolling and normal get up so I'm pretty happy you've picked that up for me. Also I figured out what I was doing wrong and actually corrected that the first match myself - rosalina isn't really an aggressive player as I learnt.

I'd like to show you my wii fit trainer maybe a later date because she's my 2nd main and it's fun when you spike people.

Also appreciate you saying I've developed into a "pretty decent player".
