• #PlanGang (2/14/19)
  Oi!!! I’m Sky. I want to become the best Zelda player in SC by 2020. I’m gonna be posting my thoughts on how I can improve here. I’ll be keeping my short term and long term goals on this doc. I’ll pos [...]
• Labbo Mode (2/16/19)
  Master: Attack Canceling → Learn: "Castle" (Phantom Knight Tech) I wanted to take full advantage of a tech I saw so I remapped my controller. I’ve been practicing attack canceling for about 45 minutes [...]
• Spar (2/17/19)
  Played a lot of matches online & with Jasper. Labbed a bit.  
• Rooks & Crooks (2/18/19)
  IzAw got eliminated from Summit Voting… F Anyway, I’ve been labbing Castling for about an hour and I’m getting the hang of it still. Improving tho! I’d say think of it as combining dash + forward c st [...]
• Silvers (2/19/19)
  I’ve been messing with secondaries. I’m liking Richter a lot. I also think I’m gonna pocket Bowser. Sparred a lot. I’m really starting to improve with my character pool. I labbed edgecanceling for abo [...]
• Thoughts after watching ven (2/20/19)
  Watched ven in tournament. He got second to FOW. Moves I need to use more: Dash attack, F Smash, Nayru’s Love, 2 Frame with D Tilt. He used upsmash on ledge to cover certain get up options. ven used d [...]
• Leffen Style (2/21/19)
  Elliott can’t decide who he wants to secondary! Options: Easy High Tier OR Difficult High Tier! Why not both? Anyway, I’m interested in Palutena and Mewtwo but low key I could just like… use Chrom &am [...]
• Mains & Secondaries (2/25/19)
  Okay… I really enjoy Palutena & Mewtwo but on the other hand I like Chrom & Lucina but they have the added bonus of being really easy. If I could play them all well it’d be awesome! Zelda is s [...]
• Bumping (2/26/19)
  Sparred a lot… Apparently, “I force myself to play perfectly” was good advice. If I put time into Palutena I could probably get really good. Swordies are good for secondaries: Cloud, Lucina, & Chr [...]
• Dismantle (2/27/19)
  I got a lot to think about...  I’m trying to take apart my playstyle so I know how to improve. I’m interested in Richter, Link, Ike, & Mewtwo. I’m not sure if I want to put time into them since I’ [...]
• Wake (3/12/19)
  Last night I was watching ven on stream. He used Nayru’s to edgeguard a lot against linear recoveries because it is very safe. ven used F-Throw into Phantom Knight a bit. Farore’s less. Nayru’s more. [...]
• A Light (3/17/19)
  Zelda & Palutena are so great :) Zelda - utilize kill options: dash attack, f tilt, back throw, up throw, f smash, din’s, farore’s, phantom knight, dair, LK, up air. I’ve been taking advantage of [...]
• Navigation (3/18/19)
  My Zelda keeps improving and I’m really happy with that. I’m still losing a lot too swords but that’s to be expected. My Zelda is currently at 4,204,943 GSP. It isn’t the best indicator of how I am im [...]
• Reflection (3/24/19)
  The past week has been really annoying. At least I’m on break now. My Zelda is doing alright. I need to go for more edgeguards with LK. I can def improve with some tech like castling and edge cancelin [...]
• Catching Up (3/28/19)
  Yesterday and today I played a lot with Jasper. I am struggling a lot. Part of it makes sense cuz he plays Cloud and Zelda loses that hard but I still know I can do better. I practiced Edgecancelling [...]
• Flash (3/31/19)
  I’m improving at both Castling & Edgecancelling. I’ve been training a lot the past few days. Things I can improve on with Zelda: Nayru’s Edgeguarding, Farore’s Offstage Kills, Din’s, Throw into Ph [...]

• Practice
  I've been working on my edgecancels a lot lately and I'm starting to improve at them bit by bit but I feel like there is a long way to go still.
