This is the preferred option for students who want to test their skills by playing against me directly via netplay. While we play, I will take notes of areas where you can improve and bad habits that are holding you back. I am able to discuss this feedback while we play, or if you find it difficult to focus while listening, I can also record my commentary over the lesson vod so you can watch it back later. In the event that you are a newer player who may be overwhelmed, we can also spend time with me coaching live games on unranked. As you stream them to me over Discord, I will analyze and give you real-time feedback that can be immediately applied against the opponent you are facing. I have high speed fiber internet so I can get playable connections to most people, but if you are far from myself in Maryland, we can always do a connection test before you book a session.

I'm not currently offering live sessions, but I am still accepting requests for Replay Reviews. I will leave detailed remarks throughout your gameplay to identify specific areas explaining what went wrong and exactly what you can do instead to be successful. Once I'm finished, you will have a chance to read my feedback and ask any clarifying follow-up questions. Situational analysis is one of the best ways to improve quickly at Melee, and that's exactly what this lesson is designed for. You can upload a recording of your match to Metafy or YouTube, or you can submit a request with a placeholder video and instead upload your Slippi file to SlippiLab.com then share the URL to your match.

This is the preferred option for students seeking in-depth analysis for massive improvement. Together we will analyze gameplay footage over Discord voice chat and screen share which will allow you to develop awareness of mixup situations that most players are completely unaware of. After breaking down your bad habits and identifying your weakest areas, I will lay out field-tested strategies for each matchup, provide powerful tactics for immediate growth, and arm you with the necessary mental shifts to perform well under pressure. At the end of the lesson, you will receive a targeted practice routine based around your personalized needs, and I also offer direct support in DMs for any questions or clarification needed between lessons.

This course will provide the student with a strong foundation of fighting game fundamentals. Melee is a game where understanding the subtext of movement and positioning is crucial to making effective decisions. I will walk you through what specific actions communicate to your opponent and how you can influence their behavior without even throwing a punch.
