Thanks for the review, I'll keep all this in mind as I climb to Masters. This was long enough ago now that I expected you'd probably talk about that paragraph, and sure enough lol. I think I've calmed down on jumping in a good bit since that wall brawl as a strategy and am using it more as a positioning/call-out option. Now if a mf doesn't anti-air me for heck, you can bet I'm abusing their willingness to block jH/U til they finally punish it. I think you were spot on about the space issue against Grimnir though; for a while that was a problem permeating all my matchups. I wasn't really thinking about optimal spacing and just trying to react to my opponent doing their favorite thing and trying to stop them, which isn't very good in this matchup against Grimnir's tools. Like you thought, air throw would have been my best option when Grimnir was staring me down with those seals, but I'd still have to react to him jumping into a seal dash or seal dashing on the ground so it's a really tough spot. Also I just suck at reacting to Eustace's skills in general.
