If you connect with dash attack in this way, it's a very free u-air or possibly n-air depending on the situation.

Armada wrote a really great guide on this matchup on MIOM. Edit: Ok I thought my link worked but here it is: http://meleeiton.me/2014/08/24/armadas-matchup-guide-to-peach-vs-marth/

I feel like switching mid-match is good because if you know what is easier/feels more comfortable in each position, it's not hard to quickly switch between normal hand position and claw hand position.

I played against a few Jiggs players yesterday at a weekly and I was having quite a bit of success killing them with uair once I got them off stage. If you can read their recovery, just float and get right under them and a uair will kill pretty easily. But yeah, other than that, I really...

How do you guys utilize wall jumps? I'm trying to figure out how I can best use them mid-match but I usually find myself forgetting about it.

It's the fact that Little Mac essentially has five less moves than most of the cast. Aside from some things I've heard about his nair being situationally useful, Mac's aerials will almost never see any use in competitive play. When a character has so little options available to him compared to...

I don't have a ton of Rosalina matchup experience but I'll share my two cents. One bothersome thing about the Rosalina matchup is that she can easily juggle Sheik. That's not something that many other characters in this game can really do. She matches Sheik's aerial game pretty well, and a good...

Hey guys I don't know if this is necessarily considered an AT but if you hit the walls of a stage with the startup frames of bouncing fish and direct it into the stage wall, you will ride the wall of the stage up and snap onto the ledge at the appropriate length. It's useful as another way to...

After having my hands on the game for a few days and playing 100+ online matches, I feel like I've gathered a solid list of character first impressions. I also don't think there are a lot of terrible characters. For the most part, everybody on the roster has some positives. The good: - G&W is...

Can we also utilize this thread to keep a running list of what old ATs are in the game? I'm not sure if it would be better to start another thread for it, but I think it would be nice to have a list in the first post of some stickied thread that has a composite list of old and new ATs. What...

I experimented with turning tap jump off, and realized that tap jump was easier almost immediately, haha. I guess I just need to work on my timing. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the tip on d-smash. And I mean u-smash coming out of a shellshift.

Hey guys, I've picked up Squirtle and am working on my ATs but to be honest, I have trouble doing hydroplane u-smash and d-smash. If I try to execute a d-smash it always ends up being a f-smash, or I do a d-smash without sliding at all, and I always end up jumping out of my u-smashes. Am I...

It's much faster! It's actually reminiscent of ZSS's similar move, if I was going to compare it. And yes, I forgot to mention that as well, but it looks like that will help her recovery quite a bit, in addition to Bouncing Fish mechanics. Also, this has been on my mind so I should mention. Does...

Sheik needs some kind of change in the next PM update. I think it should be her brawl tether, because that's a simple addition that would make her a solid PM character. Whereas now she's basically under par solely because of her recovery. It's either that or overhaul her move set, which the PMBR...
