A free, in-depth guide on what to practice and in what order: execution, reaction and decision points, punishes, defense, and building a game plan. Uses Marth examples but works for any character.
A Melee "chess engine" for reviewing your play: pause on a moment and it simulates the game to list the combos you could have done, sorted by damage, KO or position. Early and experimental (tested on Marth and Fox, against CPUs). Runs on the community Melee PC port and needs your own copy of Melee; it includes no game files.
