| dante said: also what counts as an advanced move every move in melee was pretty simple to pull of and incorporate in different situations |
There are techniques in melee (programmed and exploits) that are not listed in the instructions.
Among these, the advanced techniques are generally considered to be:
Directional Influence (DI)
Smash Directional Influence
Teching
Short Hop
Fast Fall
Lag-Cancel
Shield Grab
Shield Cancels (upsmash, wavedash, & upb)
Crouch Cancel
Dash-Dancing
Wavedashing

Unfortunately, if you have not incorporated these into your game you are at a huge disadvantage to those who have - i.e. you rated yourself a 9.5 but if you were to play a tournament goer you would be at a tremendously massive disadvantage.
