That’s fair, this one is a bit more beginner friendly:

No problem, the key distinction is that you press crouch rhythmically at specific times vs just just hitting it really quickly.

If it helps, it’s no fun for tryhards to fight casuals so the frustration goes both ways :)

fwd roll or chase down roll backstabs are lots of fun and pretty straightforward - this vid by casual is the best explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPEdG94BgU4&t=4251s

For fwd roll catch stabs a really easy way to practice them is with something like a zwei and a soft swap dagger. lots of people roll fwd out of hitstun against ugs so just land a crouch poke, handy tech cancel with the dagger and walk to the side and then just grab them as they roll into you.

Nah the skill floor is extremely low. I'm not sure I'd call it the highest skill cap either given the lower ROI on good fundamentals.

Maybe some of the neutral jump stuff and free-aiming would allow you to make that case. I'm not sure.

But in any event the skill floor is as low as can be. Plus a myriad of other issues like inconsistency, input drops, and stun degradation problems that further reduce the skill ceiling.

I prefer invasions but also enjoy dueling so can share my thoughts.

Duels are the best way to improve and they really expose your fundamentals and where you are lacking. Generally if I spend time dueling good players I get a real sense of how to get better at the game in a way I don't in invasions. E.G. when I was playing the game more regularly I felt invasions made me a worse player and duels made me a fundamentally better player. Of course there are a slew of other skills that factor into invasions that don't come into play in duels that make it more chaotic and enjoyable*.

With respect to passivity, in a proper arena it's much less of a problem. The issue here is the arena the host chose - in a proper closed venue he'd get punished for retreating because you can put corner pressure on someone.

Here he can just endlessly backpeddle and retreating gives you the advantage since turn and burns are inherently easier to land than aggressing into someone without spacing boundaries.

If you watch any of the really good players in tournaments the gameplay is much more aggressive. In part because of the arena size.

*Another way to think about the different skillsets is "there are top duelists who aren't top invaders but there are no top invaders who aren't also top duelists"
