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!

If no one else volunteers, I'd like to get some critique of my gameplay from you Atyeo. Although if someone else who really wants improvement steps up, I'll step aside.

another thing I should probably mention now so you can try see what I mean is landing.

having your opponent below you on the ground is a bad position to be in most of the time, whenever I pop you up I go stand next to where you are going to land, and you keep trying to fall down on top of me with an aerial. for instance, I pop you up with a dash attack, you do a fast fall aerial into my shield, then I get a grab or another dash attack, and it keeps happening so on and so forth.
The short period of time where your character is landing is a brief but very vunerable moment that your opponents can take advantage of, when I pop you up above me with a move, try to jump away and land away from me.

also I'm gonna start doing the same thing in certain situations to see if you can pick up on it and punish it.

Hahaha, I should get some critique from Atyeo. I find myself giving good advice to newer players, but then I do the same things (Like landing in front of people and rolling when people run at me) I tell them NOT to do myself.

I think this has turned into Atyeo guidance. If so, I'd like some guidance tips please :)

alright let me type a few things then we'll continue
one thing I noticed was your panic option for teching is to roll away.
Again and again I got you lying on the ground (usually from fthrow) and then I would run past you as you rolled away and get an upsmash.
Hard reads with heavy punishes like this are super valiable in tourney situations, so you've gotta be careful not to let your opponent have them. In that last game though you were mixing it up with regular getup and getup attack, thats good, basically there is no perfect option, you've just gotta keep changing it up so that they cant hard read you. Same with ledge getup, you cycle through regular getup and jumping with the occasional roll, which I punished some of the time. In both these situations (being tech chased and getting off the ledge) its important to mix up the option you choose constantly, but its also important to mix up the timing of when you chose this option, if you sometimes wait a second or two on the ground or on the ledge before chosing your option, you can throw your opponent off, but if you chose your option with the same timing each time, your opponent gets a feel for when they need to throw out their country option, if they are unsure of the timing for their counter option, they'll miss the punish sometimes even if they get the read.

I liked your upB mixup where you would move away from the stage and upB back at a different angle to prevent me from gimping you with nair, thats a nice adaption against fox but I'd be careful because choosing that option probably makes it really easy for a character with a spike to spike you.

I've been doing a rising fair at the start of each match, and doing regular jump as my ledge option constantly, I'll keep doing that, see if you can find a way to punish it.

And you can see what I mean about the landing thing now yeah? I can see you trying to find ways around it like side B, but even with that its super tough against fox because his ground speed is so fast. If you dont want me to juggle you or punish landing, whenever I get you up in the air, trying going out and around over the edge and then back to the ledge, I cant really punish that since foxes horizontal air speed is slow and I dont really have any real offstage options.

Also sometimes you throw out a bunch of well spaced short hop Fairs against me, do that more often its really good.

ggs Atyeo, thanks for the games and all those detailed tips. I'll make sure to keep all of these in mind.

Yeah I really need to work on my ledge options, as most of the hard reads you committed to on the ledge ended up with me losing a stock.

I find that when I'm versing the more skilled players such as yourself, they constantly put me in high-pressure situations that lead them to dictating the flow of the match most of the time. I think that's where most of my bad habits stem from. The advice about landing with an aerial in front of your shield was really helpful. I think it's because usually I'm in a situation like that, I have the urge to challenge my opponent's advantage on the ground instead of just opting to reset neutral because I don't want to feel like they control the match, and sometimes that's a bad idea.

To that end I find that I really need to play ultra conservatively just to catch up with my opponent, in that I've accepted that they are indeed the one setting the flow of the game and that I'm just trying my best to keep up. That feels frustrating sometimes.

yeah I know how you feel jlo, I get like that too, I get impatient and start trying to rush in and challenge when I shouldnt.
If you saved any replys when you watch them try to keep track of who is chasing who around, generally if you've got your opponent chasing you around the stage you are at an advantage.
Ultimately it can often come down to who is more patient, a lot of the time I'd move around you and wait for you to throw a move out, and then punish you for it. Often in situations like that, whoever picks and uses their move first will at a disadvantage, although it gets complicated because this isnt always the case in a lot of situations aswell so.... I dunno, game is hard.

Atyeo, I would like some guidance please if you are still doing that.
We can try and play later though if you're up for it.
I know i've been doing so punishable Up-Bs, so lately I've been focusing on landing on the ground so that I do not get punished.
Anyway, here are some videos.
