To improve at Melee by yourself, you need to do two main things:
1. Tech Skill Practice
2. Match Analysis

2. How to analyze matches
The most efficient method of getting better is to play a match and immediately analyze it with the person you played.
If you're practicing solo, then there's a few ways of getting analysis in:
- Netplay matches
	- Incredibly easy to find matches whenever you want, and let you get practice in at whatever time is convenient to you
	- Downside of requiring good internet connection, people close enough to play with, and a computer that can record dolphin in OBS
- Recording matches from your local tournaments
	- Requires a capture card or 20xx:TE + Dolphin + OBS to record matches
- Top player matches
	- Don't analyze HBox
Use either https://flowfeedback.com/ or a school notebook + pen/pencil, whatever you prefer
If you don't have a specific thing to focus your analysis on, stop the video every time you get hit, mark the position immediately beforehand and what moves were done by both people, and look for patterns.
