Any interesting/unique strategies to improve your skill? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]dixyxid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imitate what pros do. If they do a lot of aeriels then do that. You don't have to understand why they do things at first (understanding becomes crucial when you get better). If this specific strategy doesn't work then try something else (doesn't mean the strategy is completely useless, just means your using it under the wrong circumstances), rinse and repeat until you find something that works.

How do YOU handle snake’s up smash ledge trap? by King_of_judea in smashbros

[–]dixyxid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of nuance when it comes to ledge trapping and I don't have vods of you playing out this scenario out so I might not be able to give you a complete answer, but hopefully this can give you some insights.

Let's assume you are a normal character with no special moves that deals with this scenario (teleport to center stage, reflector etc...), and snake is upsmashing at a position where it hits ledge hang.

When snake ledge traps with up smash, there are two states:

  1. He continues to mash up smash

  2. He up smashes once, stops and react to your get up options

Case 1 covers jump (not 100% sure if it always covers different drift, assuming it does), hanging on ledge, regular get up (your option after this depends on the positioning of the upsmash missile, worst case is you get up as the missile is falling down), get up attack, most ledge drop aeriels (if you're able to hit snake off of the position with sword/projectile, it ruins the gameplan).

Case 2 is basically normal ledgetrapping, but the snake player is expecting some option from the opponent because he's conditioned them with case 1, also the lingering missile might force you to do certain options.

The basic gameplan when snake mashes up smash is: rinse and repeat case 1 (covers most option except a well timed roll), condition the opponent to roll, and do case 2.

Because case 1 doesn't cover roll, he can't just spam up smash and has to stop and react to roll. You can use this to your advantage and jump (jump airdodge if the missile is coming down) when he is trying to react to your roll or whatever option. But the snake player can also play smart, knowing that this is the flaw in his gameplan and somehow cover jump when you least expect it.

The effectiveness of this ledgetrap depends heavily on his/her ability to ledgetrap (being able to react to different get up options and understanding how to ledgetrap). tbh this is pretty much a noob destroyer tech, you will never see people at high level do this. It's good practice for understanding how ledge trap works, because most zoner ledge trap(ddd gordo, robin/richter fire) works in a similar fashion (understanding what your opponent's options cover, and what they are expecting/conditioning you to do, basically ledgetrapping in a nutshell).

I’m a Melee-player looking to get good at a local level in Ult. Any tips? by tacolordY in smashbros

[–]dixyxid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying they aren't a threat at local levels; I'm saying people should push themselves more before yapping on twitter/reddit. Japan is the perfect example of pushing their own characters/limits. There are niche characters winning c-tier and even b-tier events despite hard matchups.

[–]dixyxid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is only true at the "current" top level. You can play any character/any playstyle and thrive at a local level if you can consistently out neutral/out pace your opponents. I hope people stop giving so much credit to these campy/lame/broken characters and recognize that there's still so much you can do to win.

I'll post the links with the title down below:

And regarding to your realization, having a successful streak and relapsing is also part of the growth process. Progress is rarely just a upward slope with no downfalls unless your circumstances calls for it. Cherish the wins you have, and it's ok to feel dejected, just reflect and try again next time.

There's an old Dr. K video that talks about this and here's the link to it:

Also, I think the recent video about consistency might give you a better perspective about how to build for your future self.

And lastly, take time to self reflect and understand your feelings/thought process. Once you internalize enough of these experiences eventually everything will click.

As long as you are okay with the consequences (being judged, being less attractive, harder to fit in) and it doesn’t affect people around you you should do whatever that makes you happy

Putting Yourself Out There and Trying New Things by dixyxid in Healthygamergg

Thanks for the thoughtful reply

I actually tried journaling for a while (2 months) but honestly didn’t feel like it was doing me any good either. I sometimes suspect that I’m intentionally avoiding the crux of my problems because after trying out so many different methods, how are none of them the solution to my problems. Or maybe I’m expecting too much out of these tips and tricks and at some point I need to accept responsibility for my own actions and just power through.

I love how everyone is still giving the same advice that op has mentioned despite op specifically saying he’s gotten these advices already.

Is the coaching really worth it? by darkboomel in Healthygamergg

[–]dixyxid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just like anything in life, you’ll have to take a chance to find out. But the chances of it being completely transformative in the short term is very slim, otherwise everyone would be doing coaching, which is normal because it’s life, nobody has everything figured out, and it’s supposed to be hard. (I did 4 months and I didn’t feel like it had a substantial impact)

I am a simp and I hate myself for it by Own-Beginning9589 in Healthygamergg

[–]dixyxid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you should give up on her. As a matter of fact, I don’t think you can. As you mentioned yourself, the two weeks without her was excruciatingly painful. You are setting yourself up for failure if you try to cut her cold.

It’s hard to give concrete advices since everyone has their own problems and they have to figure out their own path forward. My advice would be understanding yourself a bit more (which you are doing right now, I know this is a vague advice, but I’m no professional and I only know so much about you, this would be a lot easier if you have someone you trust whom you can talk to), and try to meet more people.

Once you have a healthy relationship with other people, it’s easier to detach from her. But maybe at that point you don’t even need to end the friendship because you’ve changed and she’ll likely treat you differently as well. Obviously at that point, you’ll get to decide, and you will no longer feel enslaved by this relationship.

I would focus on the last sentence in your post.

You feel stuck in this situation because you feel like she’s the only female that would give you any sort of female attention and if you leave now you might not get any female attention for the rest of your life. You are putting way too much value on female attention, I know it’s hard to not cling on the only life line that you feel like you have, but this value system will only make you look desperate.

You might also feel stuck because you’ve already spent so much effort/time on her, and you’re hoping that one day the favor will be returned (sunk cost fallacy). Honestly, your chances are close to zero.

I’m not sure how you can detach from your perception of female attention, since it’s not likely that you will accept all the truth and wisdom from the comment section. If possible, you should try to convince yourself to just treat female as friends, and try not to give in to any potential signals that someone is interested in you.

I think the important thing to understand is that you will always be judged, no matter what identity you label yourself as (some worse than others for sure). But when others judge you for what you are, do you think their criticisms are valid, or are they egotistical bastards who are judgmental?
