Best way to train and get into competitive Smash?
Hey guys. I've been playing Smash since the N64 days and loved every game in the series. However, I always played Smash with friends, like a fighting party game (i think that was the main idea of smash at first) and never went fully competitive.
However, there is this tournament on May 23rd near my house. A friend of mine asked me to go with him so I said hey why not, worst case scenario I will lose $4 and get destroyed by the first guy I fight but I'll probably have fun. But... I don't really want to just pop in without any training. Of course, I won't become a pro in 2 weeks, but I thought that maybe there are some basics I could focus on. I tried the training mode but... I don't really see a lot of benefit from it, I usually spend tons of hours in training modes of games with long combos like FighterZ but for Smash it feels a bit weird.
So I wanted to ask you guys, what do you think I should focus on more during these 2 weeks? I dont really mind losing on the first round but I'd like to at least give my oponent a proper challenge. I won't have a lot of time to train the first week, but the second I plan to spend as much time as possible.
Also, I main Sora, Snake and Little Mac mostly. But I dont think Little Mac would be too good against competitive players, so I was planning on playing Snake mostly, if that helps.
