honestly d-tilt is pretty bad on lucina from my experience. i think you're better off using a dash-pivot f-tilt or a jab in it's place. dtilt doesn't really combo or string into anything useful like ftilt and jabs do.

without any charge at all lucina's SB will take your shield down low enough that if you hold it for about 0.5 to 1 second after it will break. with a small charge it will break your shield guaranteed unless you get a perfectly timed shield, in which case you will take zero shield damage...

online can be really frustrating becuase lag can and will prevent you from finishing the combo since it will not read your inputs fast enough or at the right time due to a lag spike. when i play with my good friend who always lags a bit (about 0.5s input delay constant) i find it pretty much...

You can use the location of her foot to judge where the meteor occurs. It's directly below her foot when she down airs.

At low percentages your highest damage combos and strings are going to come from grabs, Lotus. Forward throw and down throw are both excellent for setting up an aerial string at 0-30%. Try to grab them again when they land if you can! Every now and then I get some disgustingly good grab ->...

Okay so I know this video doesn't have a Lucina in it, but bear with me here. The casters weren't incredibly knowledgeable so I had to draw my own conclusions here, but if you watch this video from 3:05 to 3:15 you'll see Sethlon (Robin) do a very fancy edgehog -> bair move to get Palutena off...

As others said, looks like the stunlock disappears right at the end of the combo (before the spike). Sad ;[ On the bright side, dodging the spike requires an air dodge or some fancy DI, which makes their return to the stage somewhat difficult if you follow up properly.

you can't guarantee an aerial to land out of grabs except at very low percents. after 35% your opponent will be able to dodge out of it and/or DI away. of course, you can fake people out by faking an aerial and then smashing or tilting their dodge, but it's not guaranteed.

People always fail to consider that landing a tippered f-smash at low percents is highly reliant on your opponent making an error, and a big one at that. It's not necessarily a skill difference between the two as it is a gamble, since Lucina will KO at lower percents with her f-smash except...

No offense taken. When I said a lot of that stuff I was still playing against mostly newer players and none of them were properly punishing me for a lot of small lag frames. My opinions pretty much mirror your own now.

Spammers are easy to beat but they can be a chore to play against. I'll beat someone who spams roll into dash attacks and smashes and grabs, but it won't be fun, and don't expect me to stick around after I've beaten you. Point is, just because something is easy to beat with practice and/or...

You guys hate her tilts? I know they aren't great but there's definitely some merit in a dash/foxtrot pivot f-tilt or u-tilt to punish an aerial approach. It has the most range of all her grounded abilities and comes out a lot faster than a smash. I agree that d-tilt is pretty bad now...

So... Upair on a grounded target, preferably after a whiffed grab or something Shot hop, f-air to follow up before they can DI or dodge out of range Fast fall, jump, downair to spike? Really excited about this. Can't wait to get home and try it out. You should be proud, you're tearing me...

perfect shielding is when you shield the instant you take damage. it makes it so there's no lag time and you can move immediately instead of your shield losing strength and slight lag time being given to you. if you perfect shield the attack you can immediately smash or tilt him. if it's not a...

Not so sure that's true actually. I had a kirby repeatedly chain grabbing me last night out of my attempts at high jump f-air. I'd switch it up between double or single f-airs but they'd always get the grab. I'd never been punished for it before and assumed it was my best approach to be...
