I've started playing Melee on Anther's ladder in August 2016. After finding out about an offline scene in Germany I attended my first regional in April 2018. I won the 2nd tournament I entered and established myself as a regional threat. Ever since I've rapidly climbed up in the rankings. Shortly after beginning my offline journey I started developing pain in my thumb which rendered playing on a GameCube Controller unfeasible going forward. So I switched to the B0XX in March 2019. I had a huge motivation boost as I didn't want to fall behind the competition and knew I'd have to put in extra work to catch up again. I ended up climbing further in the ranks despite switching to a new controller type. I had my first breakthrough performance at Superbou 3 in August 2019 where I ended up getting top 8 while beating Ice and Jah Ridin'. That tournament was special to me as it was my first major top 8 placement and since I was the first german player who was able to take a set off Ice in many years. Ever since then my results kept improving and to this day I've beaten the vast majority of european top players. I'm mentioning all that because I think I have a good understanding on how to rapidly improve at games and can help out others doing the same as long as the motivation is there. I started coaching in Kone's Academy in July 2021. Prior to that I have done voluntary analysis with friends who were eager to improve. So far the feedback has been mostly positive which gave me confidence in my coaching abilities. I offer coaching for all characters as I consider my knowledge of this game to be pretty deep and versatile across the cast. The way I'm coaching my students fully depends on the student's needs. A live coaching session usually consists of analyzing a set together by sharing my screen while focusing on a certain aspect (matchup specific or general, doesn't matter). I try to explain key interactions in detail so my students get a better understanding of why certain things work/don't work and simplify them on a macro perspective afterwards. In my opinion that's very important so students understand why they're doing things instead of just doing them. That way they're able to transfer that knowledge to other interactions and find solutions themselves in the future instead of relying on others to tell them every option.
