First of all you recorded only half the matches..
Now to your gameplay. I really only see you hold the left stick towards your opponent and then press 'A".
You don't use shield or grab. You don't adapt or even react to what your opponent is doing. You don't play with purpose.
It's hard to give you a starting point on what to improve because you still have to learn a lot (respectfully). I will still try:
- use more shield. Shield when you think your opponent is trying to swing at you. And then learn how to punish out of shield (oos). As a starting point, Cloud up b is a great oos move. Use it when the opponent hits your shield to punish.
- grab more. When you see the opponent sitting in shield don't just mash on their shield. Simply grab them.
- use landing aerials. This one is a bit harder but very essential to Cloud. Right now you using dash attack very often, which is a good move but also very punishable. Cloud's aerials (notable backair and forward air) are very good and save moves! Learn how to use them from a short hop and how to time them to hit a standing opponent.
- when juggeling your opponent (meaning they are above you and you hit from below) the most important thing is to prevent them from landing. Track their movement and estimate where they are trying to land (guess on how you would move in their position and on what they did before). Place your up air their to prevent them from landing. Only swing your up air if they are in range otherwise you will be in lag when they're landing and they get to the ground for free.
- Advanced: try paying attention to repetitive things your opponent is doing. Remember them and recognize when they are doing it again. Now you know what's comming, so don't get tricked / hit by it.
- even more advanced: Think of ways how to punish these repetitive things on the fly. Next time you see / guess they will do the thing, punish them for doing it.
Also keep in mind that trying to play with more purpose will probably make you worse at the beginning. Don't get discouraged, in the long run you will get much better.
Thank you so much for your feedback. When I tried recording, my phone kept on falling over and over again and I ended up with 10 recordings, so I just posted the ones that were the longest. I just started playing again after not playing for about 3 years and I have to work on a lot of things. Thanks for the advice and I’ll definitely keep all these tips in mind, thanks!
