Transitions out of Neutral

Why I Got Hit/How I Land Hits (transitions out of pure neutral)
0:20 fail a fair, shield and try to WD OOS mindlessly. note: at that range if he lasers at that height i should be able to get under with dash attack. i can also stay there and hold shield, or crouch + wd back (only on his backwards movement)…i was 1/3rd of the screen away and i’m at low percent, so i guess i’m afraid of yolo dair? that can be sniped out by backflip fair tho
0:25 i get shined for letting go of my shield when i land? yikes. i actually could have cross over rolled here, or continued shielding…wanting to land on the ground is okay but need to be more careful. also i could’ve just gone to side or stayed on top (?)
0:30 try to disrespectfully fair him? yeah i think that the backwards movement will make him come forwards (which is correct) but his dair is fast and my fair doesn’t reach
0:32 flustered, mashing
0:37 flub ledgedash
0:45 bad uair. instead SH uair or hold middle, his lasers won’t do much from here
0:47 misjudged situation, mashed grab cuz i thought he’d stay on ground/forced to be on ground but he had enough space
0:49 lol
0:50 mess up recovery
frame skip

mess up ledgedash =(
1:17 grab his mess up
1:26 i get stuck in the middle because i wavedashed back in response to him moving forward. if i see him do that i should actually just run through lol, or shield + nair OOS to punish
frame skip but i get a dash attack?
1:34 bad uair AGAIN, chains into utilt
1:35 caught unawares, didn’t expect the combo to end there
1:36 fair him because i notice that he missed his follow up
frame skip

3:19 reads ledgedash

3:33 get tagged by a laser as i’m wavedashing backwards lol
3:38 punish his whiffed aerial with ftilt, but it’s at a lower percent and he’s close so i’m afraid of shine and…shield? eh not terrible, i get a grab out of it. but in these situations i should be prepared to roll!
frame skip…oh my lol
3:49 get clipped out of bair, but land sooner than he does and get an ftilt to push him out
3:51 get daired OOS for a poorly executed fair (too high), but he doesn’t l cancel and i grab him
3:57 he shoots a laser to scout me coming down, i mess up the wavedash i wanted to do out of it and get smacked with nair

4:02 messed up wavedash and got caught in a bad spot so utilt
4:05 got punished for teching in after he missed utilt bair
