Play real people offline until you are ready to move onto more complex stuff in training. Online as a last resort if you don't have any friends (or have young kids...)
The computers are nothing like playing real people as they are either far too easy or they cheat by reading your inputs.
Just play real people a lot and watch how they avoid your hits/punish you. Then start using what they did to you against others and see how the opponents react.
This is nothing like Street Fighter where there are cookie cutter combos and standard ways to play each character, Smash is a far more dynamic game.
My memories of playing Melee growing up have me pegged as an absolute master. I could beat all of my mates, often in 1v3 using a character of their choice. I could beat Level 9 CPUs without much bother. I genuinely thought I was great at the game.
First time I played Ultimate, I realised I was rusty. Then I watched some videos of Smash tournaments. Turns out I was never any good. I was just better at the absolute basics than anyone I knew, and had subconsciously found a way to exploit the CPU players.
Training solely offline is maybe not the best idea...
That's always the way. I remember Mario Kart DS on these forums. So many people thought they were gods at the game because they could beat their mates and then realised that they didn't even know what snaking was, let alone be able to do it.
This was also my introduction to Smash Bros online

They were some really fun games, and the connection was absolutely perfect. Other OcUKers should get in on the action!
It was a lot more fun when I stopped playing Simon though, eh?
Tempted to buy either Arms or Splatoon, any feedback on either to sway me ?

TBH I am figuring out your routines. I'll get you as Simon, eventually

Only if we play those poxy tiny levels!
I have over 500 hours playtime on Splatoon 2... I don't think I need to say anymore. Don't buy ARMS, it's a dead game especially now Smash is out.
I friggin found it!
Go into controls and into your control profile and at the bottom there is "TEST".
You can try out moves and it will give you the description of each!
Damn I genuinely thought I was losing my mind!
Ah, I've never done that.

Mate... this "test" option doesn't exist.. are you alright?
I was wondering about this after you mentioned it, will take a look

It is a brilliant game. One best played with dual joy cons for motion aiming. Its an amazing amount of funCheers both. I'm convinced

Don't do that
On another note, Ive read all the entries, watched the videos, watched some youtube videos, jumped into online, got my ass handed to me 3 times.
You would have thought having some basic beatemup background from SF4 and 5 I would do at least reasonably well! (And yes I realise its a different game altogether).
So this begs the question. I know the theory, the problem I have is the context of using a lot of the moves, eg. short hops, how to maximise their use and when to use.... etc etc....
Bugger :\

You are trying to run before you can walk. Just set your right stick to tilts and never do any smashes, and then just play people and copy what you see them doing to you.
Forget all the theory and techniques, they come much later.
My offer is still there to show you the ropes online but I guess you missed that part of my previous post. You also still haven't told me who you play as so I can't give you specific tips and gameplans.

You will get used to getting battered online. There are people who played Smash 4 a ridiculous amount which the game is based on. So they have ahuge head start to you.
I'd take Kreee up on his offer. He is a good teacher
- I feel like I have improved dramatically, even if I still lose a lot

getting bored of my switch
How come, just no games that interest you?
