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!

Hey Aero, I got recommended here. I've played every smash casually but obviously I'm looking to assimilate into the proper scene. Anytime you're free or willing I'd love to give this a go. I haven't picked a main yet but in For Glory I've only ever won with Link, C.Falcon and Pikachu lol

Not sure, I'll try to find one tomorrow at the shops, if that fails I will get one off Play-Asia and have it shipped express.
I ordered a controller, it should be here tomorrow, so I'll let you guys know the earliest I can play.
I just got my controller. So I can start playing from now. The people who have already asked, just post a day/time you'd like to play since I can't be bothered chasing all of you up individually.

Alright Deaann, here's a few things I picked up on:

1) Rolling - MMMMmmm GURL, that's a lot of rolling I saw in those matches, it seemed to be your main form of transporting yourself around the stage which is quite bad. You would roll at times where you didn't need to roll or just straight into my attacks! I recommend saving a few of your replays and asking yourself every time you see yourself roll, "Did I need to roll there?"

You will be surprised at how many times you will answer "No".

2) Landing in front of me - This seems to be a thing you do with your aerials (most notably dair). This kinda can't be helped because you are playing Kirby and that character has no safe aerials except bair to be honest. Nonetheless, I got so many grabs and smash attacks on you because I simply shielded unsafe aerial approaches and hit you out of it.

Down B - Don't use it like you're using it. Or don't use it at all! It's very hit and miss, I'm pretty sure your accuracy with it was like maybe 50%ish? And every time you missed, I punished you for it basically for a kill move or 20%+ damage combo.

Is Kirby your main? I noticed that you were doing ok sometimes but only because of Kirby being a terribly inconsistent character (like falling out of jabs, hitboxes simply missing it because of how short it is etc). I don't think Kirby is very good personally. Nothing more than a cheese character imo.

Oh. Also:

SD count: 5

You SD'd 5 times from simply not managing jumps properly or holding down during Final Cutter. I recommend keeping this in mind because a lost stock at 0% pretty much makes that match impossible to win.
Also if you are continuing to use Kirby, I suggest more spaced bair! Back air is his most potent aerial in my opinion. You seem to have his ground game covered quite well, but I would like to see less usmash because that move is not that good.

Thanks man. I don't have a main but thought I'd try Kirby. Anyone you suggest based on how I play and is friendly towards newcomers?

Kirby is friendly towards newcomers because of how 420 noscope gg ezy he is but on the flip side he's just a bad character tbqh.

I don't want to suggest a character for you but most characters do not have a very high skill floor or skill ceiling.

The only characters that are hard to play effectively or at a higher level are Shulk, Pikachu, Sonic, Fox, Peach, Sheik and Megaman.

I think you should use who you like, but if you are concerned about how "good" your character is, you can get a general feel of how good a character is by glossing over which ones have won the most tournaments; found here: http://smashboards.com/rankings/smash-wii-u.8/league/teams?value=0&datetime=0&rank=1
