What's mechs should I practice? (Ive mainly been trying to lean multiple rests and more consistent wave dashes)

So ive recently picked up smash bros ultimate again, i would only play it for fun with friends and now i want to take it seriously and improve but i don't know where to start. At the moment ive watched IzAwSmash the art of smash but i find that he just explains moves rather than what i can do to actually improve. i don't know whether i should be learning character specific skills only or if i should be learning universal fighting techniques that apply to every character. basically im stuck and don't know what to do to improve. I am a mewtwo main.

“Get in the habit of just hitting shield before you hit the ground/wall to tech
Utilize grab/throws more. Especially fthrow and dthrow.
Stop using neutral/sideb when you’re so close to the opponent
Stop hitting scintilla so much.
Make better usage of nair as an OOS option

Sephiroth needs to swing where he predicts his opponent will be, not where that are. Stay at his optimal range”

Most weeks I don’t struggle with knowing where to set my main focus but I just don’t know this week. I think my scintilla spam habit is my worst atm, but the guy I play in arenas with gets cheesed by it pretty hard, thus meaning I’ll habitually do the same thing against other players and get hard punished for it.

Maybe I should I just tackle all of it gradually at once?

Aspiring comp guy here, competed in a few local tournaments, I main Ganondorf and Dr. Mario offline and online. I find most matchups for my characters either easy or I understand why I lose against them sometimes and able to recognize my mistakes. There are a few characters that I really need help with playing because it’s usually the end of my losers or winners bracket run. Anyone able to help?

For Ganondorf:
Ness
Links (Toon, Young, Adult)
Zelda

For Dr. Mario:
Puff
Steve (I don’t struggle with Ganon ever so I usually switch to him when my opponent chooses, so not as important)

For both:
Aegis
Sephiroth
Kazuya (can you tell I hate DLC fighters?)
Belmonts

I've been playing a lot of competitive Smash recently and I have an absurd amount of playtime but no matter what I add to my playstyle I still feel fundamentally lacking. No matter what I do, I always fumble my stock lead, and in every online tournament I play I end up getting really close to beating my opponent but lose right at the end and I'm having such a difficult time figuring out what's wrong. Is there anyone that can help try to figure out what my issue is?

I know this post is vague and probably hard to give tips for but anything could help. I'm just really frustrated after lowkey slamming my head into a brick wall repeatedly and expecting something to change. At one point, I was keeping up with the best in my state and I was in elite smash as well, so I don't know how I fell off so hard. (Also, if you don't have tips, then any sort of motivational message would also do kindly).

I was playing Rob on smash na recently I prefer it more than elite I use elite as a warmup since smahs na is more serious I was playing Rob this set and js need to some advice on what I do good bad and what to fix and things I should start implementing in my play I wanted to also start posting my losses rather than my wins or js a mix of both

This was my last resort but can anyone help me get the clips from my switch to my phone? It’s a very long story and I just need someone who is able to do it for me please, and thank you very much!!

I have a modded switch just to be able to use the smash bros delay mod in arenas online with friends (fixes the horrible online delay) and today after I renewed my switch membership I joined arenas.

First time it crashed it went white screen, I undocked it and the screen was black the joycons were still on but the console wasnt responding, I hard rebooted it by holding power and it seemed to be fine, had to re mod it with tegra.

Booted back into the game to keep playing not banned no noticeable issue. I started playing and this time my console crashed but it restarted automatically (black screen, nintendo logo and booted into stock firmware...

I'm still not banned, but I think its really weird it happened twice, asfaik I'm using all the latest stuff.

I played several games before it crashed the first time and the second time it was the second game after booting back.

Should I be worried? Weird crazy coincidence? Anything I should do?

Text copied from my post in switchpirates

Just got stomped by a DK at 2.2m gsp. He kept using that spinning attack and I couldn’t do much about it. It felt like all of his attacks had priority over mine and he’s just so fast and hits so hard

So I’ve been playing Ultimate pretty casually for about 6 months now, cycling through a few ‘mains’ but never really sticking to just one. But I’ve recently decided to main Roy to try and improve at the game. I’ve watched IzAw’s Art of Roy a few times now and in the video he says to first master movement, then shield pressure, and finally combos. I was hoping someone could maybe elaborate on what he means by these a little more (especially movement and how I could use it to approach better and get hit less).

OK so I mostly play against my friends but I want to get better. I finally learned shielding and a slight bit of pressuring but I feel like ive reached my limit. I just haven't been getting any better. I think something i need to learn more is how to kill, how to use fast falling effectively, and how to stand any chance at all against heavy characters like king k. Rool, or donkey. They feel so intimidating. Maybe something i could work on is playing more aggressive rather than defensive? I would also like to learn how to more effectively use my grabs. The risk : reward ratio just doesnt seem to good. Maybe I should learn more combos? Also what is a tech chase? I heard inkling is good at it.

In a game where projectile and item play reign supreme, how do characters like Wario thrive in an online environment? I decided to pick him up after getting Mega Man in elite (15.1 🤷🏾‍♂️), because Wario can box up close and has amazing air speed/drift. The problem with him is that he has no range whatsoever. My question is this: how, as a brawler with no range, do you deal with characters that have it (disjoint, projectiles, items, etc..).

I’m looking for a secondary, maybe it’s not him, and I can live with that, but I want to give it the old college try first.

Any tips?

Edit: To add to this; it really isn’t even projectiles. It’s disjoints. I can’t touch swordies like Marth/Lucina, cloud, etc. And zoners just run from me lmao like literally run to the corner and start shooting. I do well enough weaving but once I’m in there and do my lil nair 1 2 up air/bair or whatever it’s wash rinse repeat.

At my low gsp (2 million) I often come across players who tend to spam a move. Falcon Punch, Kirby’s down b, any of pikachu’s attacks, and inkling down b as well. I know good players can punish these with ease, but I’d like to at least be able to do something against them.

Somehow I’m like a magnet for these attacks. I recently lost my first stock by falling into three falcon punches before I could even hit my opponent. My current online record is 102-200

Hello, so I recently picked up G&W and he's been insanely fun to play. My current favourite combo is

Up special --> forward air --> down air

It deals decent damage, but G&W's main selling point is his ridiculous combo potential. So can I please get some decent combos and, if possible, matchup info? (I'm still learning the game for now.)

Thank you in advance.

Hi I picked up a switch and got SSBU at the beginning of July, I live in western US and in need of some friendly people to practice with (I'm at 2m - gsp) quickplay gets me down and I'd love to just run a bunch of matches with people around my skill level or a bit better than me. Hope this is allowed here thanks in advance :)

Just trying to get a game plan going with my mains and whatnot. I co main Mewtwo and Wolf with a Robin pocket, here’s what I've gathered so far:

Using Mewtwo:

Luigi, Snake, Kaz (and all fighting game characters really), Sonic, Joker, Min Min (I know the matchup best with Mewtwo), ROB, Sora, Samus, Hero, Pokémon Trainer, most heavies

Using Wolf:

Aegis, Fox, Falco, Olimar, Pikachu, Pichu, Sheik, Captain Falcon, Mario, Roy, Diddy Kong, K Rool, Yoshi, Mii Brawler, Ness, Lucina/Marth, Greninja, Pits, Steve probably?

Robin pocket:

Peach/Daisy, Villager, Isabelle, Incineroar, Bowser Jr, Ike

Game and Watch, Bayo, and Palutena are the matchups I'm most worried about if I run into them. Need help planning for those ones the most. Also keep in mind I’m pretty new to this so I'm not 100% sure about exactly what to do. If anyone could give me any advice on anything else that would be great as well.

Playing as cloud today online and came up against a Ness that spammed PK fire whenever I got trapped in the first one that hit me. It would take me from 0-100% like that and I thought there has to be a way to get of this. I tried moving away but I was unable to move in there and he had his way with me.

So I want to use sonic as a secondary for Rob where do you guys recommend I start via combos videos guide or top players to watch

Im a pyra and mythra main and im looking to pick up a secondary who counters their counters very well, who do yall suggest?

Here is a newly found tech on Incineroar called Buffered Impact Revenge ! I am Sanglier, a French competitive Incineroar main and labber as well as the original poster and editor of this video which I posted on Twitter (link below)

Feel free to ask anything !

I am playing as Cloud. I am aware that I am bad at the game. I would appreciate feedback on what I can work on and how I can stop my opponent from always hitting me first. Thank you. (Yes it’s not the most optimal way of recording, but I don’t have a micro sd card that works with switch 2)
