didn't finish reading but i will be back
Nice guide, man. This helped me alot, as reading is one of the hardest things for me, and I'm usually an open book to more experienced players. This gets a huge thumbs up from me.
This guide is fantastic for new players! I couldn't explain how I just knew how to do when where (like edge-guarding) to my friend, so I emailed him this link and he told me it really helped him! Now I can't easily punish his slow edge get-up. As I said before, this is a guide every "noob" should read, it can help a lot in all SSB games :)
Muffintastic advise. Well explained, perhaps look for spelling and awkward sentence structure when explaining a situation of the topic. The key of explanation with advise is to have a clear flow throughout your point. Look into breaking a part your sentences of the example to ease the reader into the main focus of your explanation. Such as:
"You dash forward into a dash attack. He shields, then punishes with a forward grab. You tech-roll back, you are punished with a dash grab. etc." Basically, shorten the length of the situational match with strict movement/punish/recovery options.

Thank you for the good read!
This is amazing, although a little high level for a noob like me. I'm going to try and process this but it may take me a few months. Any chance we can get a beginner's guide to reading?

Either way great job!
Fantastic overview of all the things a player should look out for. You should add tech chasing and maybe reads in the air mid-combo, like air dodging or combo breaking with an aerial. But everything you wrote here is extremely helpful, and I like the specific character examples as well!
