I'm not worried about my playstyle. The way I see my style, I like to gobble up space aggressively and use my range to zone instead of play a DD grab game. I do this in just about every high tier matchup I play. The problem is that when I play against a luigi, it feels like I can't aggressively...

I am aware that I want to get luigi airborne. Hence why spaced fairs are so good (also because you jump of d-smashes). I'm just wondering what I should do in the neutral, especially against a hyperaggressive luigi. And also what I can do that isn't lame or campy, because I don't want to get...

Hello all I know this matchup favours Marth, but I'm still a bit lost as to what I am to be doing in the neutral. I've been watching some sets and analyzing what to do (Ken vs Eddy Mex, PPU vs Eddy Mex, M2K vs Vudujin) and I have learned a bit, but I want to know more. From what I've been...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGtPF_13AaA Best video that comes to mind. Covers just about everything. Against an aggressive falco, I'll usually let him approach since I'm pretty confident in my defense against lasers. Depending on the range, my go-to options are SH oos fair, or wd oos. Short...

The way I see the matchup is not like other matchups. In other MUs, you want center stage because you want to limit your opponents space and options. Against puff, you want center stage because you really can't live without it. This is because puff can fare decently well if she has her back to...

Naturally, but DK's reach in the neutral makes it feel overwhelming. If I go for a grab, it can be snuffed out by a d-tilt. If I d-tilt, I need to space it well or I can get grabbed. If I nair, a shield or CC can beat it. And its pretty much 1-touch. It's definetly doable and winnable, but I'm...

Personally, I find the bowser and DK matchup to be less than favorable. It feels like they beat you in neutral with CC, and poking at DK with d-tilt is hard because of his long grab. DK can also use his d-tilt to stop grab approaches, and he can combo you to death easily. Bowser kills MK in a...

No problem, best of luck out there. I might have under-exaggerated the power of nair though. Its a great approach tool. Try to overshoot it (like how axe overshoots his nairs with pikachu) so you don't get shieldgrabbed. And also be very careful of crouch cancelling. It beats pretty much MK has...

yeah, just hold down when you're running to cancel it into a crouch and then you can do any other move out of it, specifically a d-tilt. Don't press down and a too fast or you might d-smash. As for how many f-tilts you use, its situational, but I find going for all 3 works best, and mixing up...

Heres what I do: Run-cancelled d-tilt is really good at controlling space with the sour hit or setting up combos with the inner hit. It comes out fairly quickly so you get a pretty good advantage despite having only doing 5%~ damage with the sour spot. But I think you need them to have at least...

Would there ever be a time where switching to zelda to punish an easily telegraphed move with a fair/bair would be a good idea? Maybe when punishing another sheik landing onstage in a ditto. I dont play sheik, but I thought of this and maybe I'm changing the metagame.

He also beat S2J's falco, which is ok. I want to disagree with you and say that he has good combos and is a good character, but I generally only play vs anthers ladder scrubs, so I think Im probably just noobsmashing. If hes not good in singles, I strongly believe hes a great teams character...

I thought all it did was organize your pikmin in coloured order, and then cycle through the types. There must be more to this. Is there some place where it says all of the intricacies about the whistle?

They can smash DI out, which is why. Also, the first two hits can send opponents out of the blender and avoid the strong third hit at higher percents and on platforms. Its fine though, as if you get someone close enough to you when you u-smash its a guaranteed setup, and instead of usmashing for...
