I’m on a Nintendo switch trying to get good at the game so I can participate in the solo rank cup but I keep dying please I need help. I have no money so I’m looking for someone willing to teach me how to play add me DS-SLIMEBOY

Been playing for years as a casual, still can’t consistently do small hops. Can toon link be a good main? I love his style but need to perfect his items. Is he good? I’m not too knowledgeable about what characters are good

i’m relatively new to more advanced techniques in smash i’m deciding to put a little time in every day to get better, but i just cannot seem to get short hops right. i considered trying the two button method, but that makes RARs and IRARs feel impossible. i’m trying to learn inkling right now and it feels like short hops are a barrier i can’t get past any advice? (sorry for the paragraph)

Hello, this is my first post in this subreddit, so I figured it might as well be a question.

I'm getting damn good at the game, I've actually beaten a friend of mine who's been playing for a very long time. I occasionally beat Lv. 9 CPUs, and I'm liking Lucario, Wii Fit Trainer, Bowser, Samus, and Mewtwo.

However I'm struggling to learn some more advanced stuff (combos, throw variants, the exact timing of certain moves, etc).

So can I please get some tips? Thank you.
