After replaying this and other matches multiple times, I've noticed the main issues with my playstyle is that I **throw out random attacks** often, I **move into opponent attacks** a lot, and I have trouble knowing what actions I still have for **getting back to the stage** (i.e., how many jumps and recoveries I have left). Those first two I assume boil down to **bad reads**, but I'm not sure how to improve on that.

  
Is there anything I (LEM) and similarly stuck players should focus on practicing and improving? This is was my most recent ranked match, and I'm **currently Gold 1** with a **peak Elo of 1411** (used to be silver 5 hardstuck for a while unfortunately).

  
I've been playing this game for years (currently almost 16 y/o) but only this year have I really started trying to improve, and a lot of that can be credited to **GlockRoach's Blaster guide** on YouTube (haven't gotten far into that video though), as well as **trying out different strings in practice mode** and emulating 'em in FFA and with my similarly-skilled friends in casual matches.

  
Extra info if it helps, I've recently been practicing most with Blasters, Scythe, and Chakram, but I always have fun playing Gaunts, Cannon, and Azoth as well. **My account ID is 58872498** if anyone wants to check my Corehalla page.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Guess it's about time I asked for some help
