Wow thank you for the advice everyone :D I really appreciate it and will be applying it next time I practice

[@Mgmin7724]

It's so refreshing to see a fellow newbie to melee! I actually found Leffen's video on how to practice melee very informative! It shows you how to download uncle punch, slippi, and how to use uncle punch's training mode! He also shows you a few tips on how to practice melee that really helped me out! Hope this helps! And good luck with the grind!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Download uncle punch's training mode. Its easy to do. Its just a patch file. There are tools in there to practice wavedashing, L-cancelling, SDI, ledge techs, and lots of other stuff you dont really need to worry about yet. What controller are you using? That doesn't sound like an OEM controller. If its a cheap third party I would just stop and wait until I got an actual controller because a knock off can teach bad habits. But playing the CPUs can teach bad habits but at your level its not a problem. Anyways keep it up, melee is sick and worth grinding. OH and if you know someone with a 3d printer you should have them print some trigger plugs for you. They make the analog pull distance much shorter so timing things is easier. And once you get training mode the D-pad is how you set the CPU's position, reset, and save state. Theres also a billion settings you can adjust like turning off the CPU's airdodge so they will recover and you can kinda practice ledge guards.

[@taytertot9382]

The times where your shield is coming out after a wavedash is because you’ve let go of the trigger button a bit too slow. Muscle memory is probably the biggest initial hurdle. You got this. I’ve honestly found switching to half speed in training mode to be very helpful in that process

[@haipydragon5965]

1:30 you couldnt recover because you airdodged offstage, which puts you into a state called free fall where you are inactionable but you can air drift

[@SsbMewtwo]

You should get uncle punch. It shows you your timings and teaches you how to get better at them

[@haipydragon5965]

5:00 down air and down tilt, i bet you can guess which one is which

[@TuftedDreamer]

Make sure your gc adapter is overclocked. Might help with consistency

[@chalybesmith]

weather is fascinating! : D

[@user-bkey]

keep goin at it 👍

[@pooter-zn2hm]

what controller do you use?

[@leothepeo]

@@pooter-zn2hm Just a standard GameCube controller

[@jiyucy]

if you wanna get good at melee fast you should buy a b0xx or similar rectangular controller
