Tempering my expectations about what I'll be able to achieve has helped keep me motivated. Yesterday I landed a reverse-needle-cancel ledge hog for the first time against a player, and it felt sick. I still get bodied by virtually everyone on netplay, but landing a single wavedash back into whiff punish grab feels really good. I probably spend 60-70% of my playtime in training or vs CPUs just practicing dash dancing, dash-cancel tilt, wavedash/land, etc and it's starting to pay off. Now I'm just barely starting to get the hang of movement and basic tech. I knew getting into melee would come with a steep learning curve, but losing every single game by a huge margin for multiple weeks was tough. Online was just a constant state of hitstun as verterans eat you up and spit you out. Try to grab and my shield comes out, try dash dancing and my character slowly turns around in place, try to upair and I double jump, try tilt attack and get dash or smash attack. The extremely precise, un-buffered movement is hard to get used to, and at first it was impossible to do what I wanted. The first couple weeks felt bad - really bad.
