You don't know how to play the character, you just have a punish flowchart.

You don't have any reads, you just run an algorithm in certain situations. If falco (yes) > is enemy about to tech in corner (yes) > wavedash back (always).

You also don't have any ledge trap reads, your opponent just can't execute any meaningful mixups.

What you call pressure is just flinging yourself at the opponent, you even try to hit your opponents shield which entirely misses the point.

Just because you beat people with a mid-low tier, doesn't mean you're good at the game. They just don't know the situations and frame data to punish you.

You don't play positions, you play, 'can I hit my opponent'.

You don't have a style, you just run down the list of greediest options until one of them works.

You don't have a neutral game, you just cycle through the same options over and over.

I'm going to create mods to legal stages to try out at some small locals, and I'm looking for ideas and thoughts on what would be good to try. I'm also emphasizing mods that could, in theory, be run at a bigger tournament without Nintendo throwing a fuss. But this is mostly just for fun and to mix things up.

What I have so far:

• Pokémon stadium transformation probabilities change: 90% grass, 8% water, 1% rock and fire
• Fountain of dreams platforms vanish (and stay vanished) as quickly as possible
• Fountain of dreams platforms vanish rise to max height (and stay there) as quickly as possible
• Fountain of dreams typical movements, but fixed to move at predetermined times in a set pattern

The above FoD mods could be individually toggled in-game.

More controversial things we could try:

• Change the collision box on Battlefield's ledge to purely vertical, so that you no longer "get battlefielded"
• Remove all of the invisible lips that stop you running in a straight line during Pokémon stadium transformations
