hey everyone, i’ve decided to completely step away from ranked for a few seasons to focus entirely on my gameplay. I’m sharing these 3 clips so you can see (I’m the Artemis player).
While I’m definitely seeing some solid progress with my reads lately, I’ve noticed a few terrible habits and specific flaws in my Scythe play that i guess are holding me back, and I really need some advice on how to break them.
my off-stage game is honestly a disaster because my brain completely short-circuits every single time I try to edgeguard. I have this awful muscle memory where I instantly fast-fall and go for a Dair. In the first clip, you can clearly see exactly what I mean, where I almost die in the dumbest way possible because of it. Because I do this so predictably, I either get crushed by a Ground Pound, or I just end up dying alone like an idiot. I’m really trying to build my confidence in the off-stage game, so I want to know how you guys approach with Scythe safely and patiently without instantly panicking.
on top of that, my neutral game is becoming very flawed because I’ve noticed I'm starting to rely way too much on just Dlight and Slight to break the neutral or start my combos. It makes my approaches incredibly predictable, and good players are starting to spacing me and punishing my openings since I keep fishing for those same two starters.
lastly, even though my dodge reads are getting better, I keep dropping my follow-ups. It usually goes one of two ways: either my execution fails me at the last second, or I make a successful read but immediately pick the worst possible attack option right after, giving the opponent a free escape or an easy punish. Since I play Artemis, I try to use her speed to my advantage, but these mistakes are costing me too much. What recommendation could you give me? Any would be appreciated :)
