So, I'm not aiming for elite smash or anything like that, but I do want to be to play with my friends without getting utterly stomped. I've sort of identified a few ways I'm failing but u can't seem to figure out to fix what I'm doing wrong. I was hoping to get some tips for some of these. For the record my favorites are corrin lucina Zelda and palutena

The first issue is I get read.... Really easily. I've looked up ways to avoid that by switching up how I play but, well, I'm not quite sure how to. I notice this in a lot of games but I can't seem to stop playing off instinct alone. I can always tell my self "okay, I'm going to work on this" and so on, but when I actually try I just default back to this. Does anyone have tips for this?

Next would be my own reading. I've been looking up recommemed combos and tried doing those. For example in training I can do palus down throw into Nair just fine but when I play actual people I can never seem to get them off. I'm not sure if I was just doing them incorrectly to begin with or I'm missing something. In advice on this topic in general.

Actually that brings me to Bother issue I have: grabbing. I'm not sure what it is Everytime I go in for a grab I miss despite being literally right next to my target.( Yet somehow enemy grabs hit me light there's a Hing signal on me natrually). I have zero idea what I'm doing wrong here.

Edit because it forgot one: air game.i don't know how people can juggle people off screen like they can and I'm baffled by it.

I feel if I can fox some of these I can improve. If anyone has any tips at all for any of these, it tips in general I would appreciate it. Than you in advance
