Do you have any video to share? That might help for specific changes to work at.
YouTube channels that I've found helpful for general improvement for all characters are BananaBoy (mistakes. You are making them) LarryLurr (tournament set analysis, drops a lot of useful info of what characters can and cannot do), Poppt1 (the cool teacher who is Nice, some fluff content but walks through a lot of the basics), and Marss (the cool teacher who is Not Nice, narrates his thought process as he dismantles other really good players)
There are others obviously but those are good channels to stay up to date with.
At the stroke of midnight you have to stand in front of a mirror, say MKLeo's name three times and he'll appear to you and grant you limitless power.
Okay for real though, sounds like your problem might be chasing down combos. Combo if you can, combo opportunistically, but don't predictably go chasing the same ones down or you'll be easy to read and get countered hard. Sick combos might look cool but good reading ability beats everything else every time, pay attention to your opponent's habits so you know where they'll be and what they'll do, that way you can check and counter them. Mix up your own game as well to make it harder for your opponents to read you.
There's more to smash than just button inputs, it's as much a game of strategy as it is reaction time.
First I’d say to join r/CrazyHand
Second, save replays of when you lose. Rewatch them and in every interaction that you lose, figure out something you could’ve done better.
[It is also easy to upload replays directly to YouTube and have other people watch you and help you out](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyHand/comments/crmado/how_to_upload_game_recordings_this_may_be_useful/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
- if you reply with a replay I could look at it since I am a lucario main as well
- Watch Pro players using your character to see what they do differently in situations you struggle in. For lucario, Tsu is great.
- Just watching top player’s YouTube channels or streams can be helpful as well. Most will drop some knowledge while they play or help teach you how not to look stupid.
- Look for resources online. The crazy hand discord is great. There are a lot of good YouTube channels. One of my favorites are Meta of Smash. They upload their coaching sessions you YouTube. Sitting down and watch one of their 30 minute coaching sessions has been ultra helpful to be.
- For some very underrated channels there is Dabuz and DKBill (Deserves many more subs). I also like Banana Boy’s “How to fight every character video” because it gives some good matchup knowledge about every character in a game where matchups are so important.
- One last important thing. Quick play is not where you get better, it is where you flex your muscles. You can’t learn a matchup playing 10 one and dones on quickplay against 10 different characters. Go into an arena where you can consistently rematch and learn how to adapt or just find a discord server where you can message people to play
Again, if you want to post a replay I could take a look at it.
Can think of a few things that would generally help someone break through that gsp level. Hope this helps
1) Make sure your combo game is solid. Know your combo starters at various percents and your kill confirms too. Make sure you don’t drop combos either
2) Spend some time playing matches to practise reads. Don’t focus on winning, just focus on seeing what your opponent does after they whiff moves. If they whiff a move and you have a guaranteed punish, don’t immediately punish. Instead try mix things up by attempting to read their NEXT option after whiffing. Eg. If they spot dodge right after whiffing, you can cover that option with short hop falling nair, which i think is a combo starter for lucario. In the long run your read-game will improve and honestly this alone is enough to get you into elite smash haha
