Melee things I have to Improve on

General

  • Ledgedash instead of wavelanding on platforms. I can do it, I just gotta re-grind it.
  • Try to cover ledgedash options with shorthop (fadeaway) bair rather than fullhop. I think they can kind of see / deal with the fullhop sometimes.
  • Play normal on last stock. Don't spam fullhop flying in nair → spotdodge. Just do shorthops, man.
  • The modern meta is all about movement mixups. I need to reincorporate more wavedashes into my dashdance again. Especially dash forward → wavedash back / wd down.
  • Bracket endurance. I get tired once I get to top 8 ish in the bracket at locals. A better sleep and exercise routine could help with this.

Fox vs Fox

  • I've got to stop doing strong backair midcombo. Example vid.  It may send them offstage, but I feel upair is just higher value whenever possible. Or maybe some weak hit nair into platform followup idk.
  • I should shine out of shield more against nairs on shield. Muscoman was really good at this.
  • At low percent dont fthrow offstage. It doesn't seem to net much for me lately. Go back to upthrow. Backthrow off stage seems fine, though.
  • better platform followups off upthrow. like landing my upairs. here's me 3 in a row on yoshis
  • When my opponent is knocked below stage, I should almost always grab ledge early. Too often I stand in the corner and try something and get burned by their up b or something
  • Drill grab rather than drill shine or drill uptilt. Especially in the corner.
  • If they're up bing a lot, jump out and bair them

Already Accomplished (Archive)

  • I do runaway off the edge of the platform too much. This is for the sake of fastfalling (and bair). I should probably just shield drop → aerial or even sh → fastfall thru more on the edge. I wonder which is faster.
  • wavedash out of shield. can still improve on this though.
