Training mechanics alone

Credits

    Sometimes, you will not have anyone around you to play with and train with. And that is good ! Because some mechanics needed in the game must be trained alone.
Here are different tips to train mechanics well, with only you, your wii u and your controller.
First of, you need to know and realize that the result will arrive only after a long and regular training. Try practicing  those 10-15 minutes as frequently as possible. Daily would be ideal.

General mechanics :

 

Short hop 

Go on any stages and  repeat short hoping again and again. Add inputing fast fall, aerials.

 

Foxtrotting, Perfact pivoting, B reversing, Step dashing, 

and Reverse Aerial Rush, U turn, Pivot grab, turn around Ftilt...
I recommend doing a custom stage to move freely and not be bothered with the CPU :
Make a long platform and a shorter one on top of it.
You now have a long platform to walk over when the CPU will simply sit on top of the small platform to not bother you.
Both platforms should be under the middle line on stage builder (characters spawns at the highest platform under the middle line, so putting both platforms under the middle line will make the CPU immediatly sit on the upper platform.).

 

Floor teching

Simple stage with a lava on one side on the floor to get hit and force yourself in a situation where you can tech.

Just realized fast falling has a very strict timing if you are knocked off. So train that too !

 

Ledge trumping

Shig | Aco made a good tweet about it.

 

Stage Teching

Create a box  with lava on the corner. You can walk into the lava to knock yourself up and be in a situation o tech.
Make an opening on one top corener to enter the box since you will spawn on top.

You can also go on the stage Temple, in the cave of life and make bombs explode in your face.

I want to point out that stage teching is something you will mostly be trained in real game. The reason is that teching is 90% about predicting that you will get hit and be forced to tech. Something that can only come with real opponents.

Pit mechanics :

 

Using Pit's arrows :

Train on as many differents situations, against mobile and imobile targets.
-Go on Battlefield. Use Rosalina for the CPU. Try to hit Rosalina's head/feets without touching Luma.
-Go on Battlefield. Put the CPU on the ground and stand on the opposite platform. Try curving the arrow to hit him from above.
-Go on FD and try hitting the CPU while full hopping.
-Go on FD, full hop and try curving the arrow to be paralel to the edge of the stage. Like this
 -Pick Fox, Falco, Ness for the CPU, set their lifes to 100% and throw them offstage. Use arrows to gimp them.

 

Fast falling through platforms

I recommand you to watch this video. This is something you need to train the timing on.
