When I play against my father, he sometimes hits way to fast for me to react and he gets many points because of that when I play with him. How can I improve my reaction time so that I can tell where he is going to hit so I can counter back?

Also take a look at the tutorial on I Can't Return That Smash! for some other ideas.
