Think we might need an update to possible D Throw > combos Is D throw > Fsmash now guaranteed at low % on all characters?

Strengths - Peach's neutral game is ridiculously good. With float allowing you to perfectly space out attacks, Toad as a punishing tool, long range F-smashes and so on, Peach has a lot of tools in neutral to create reads, force commitments, pressure shields etc. Her entire kit revolves around...

Regarding kill moves : Fair has always been the bread and butter of Peach's killing kit. As said earlier, Fair is very predictable and if you whiff it's very punishable and if you hit it on a shield then you lessen its knockback. I think the best application of Fair is with ground float and to...

I play with a friend who mains Link, and isn't the best player in the world but plays the campy projectile style that is so quintessential to this matchup. Constantly stay on the offensive. In terms of approach, I prefer run > perfect shield to start closing the gap because at this point you'll...

Didn't Sakurai say something to the effect of "We're not planning on anymore future balance patches?"

Hi guys, I'm really having trouble playing vs particular characters such as Fox/Falcon/Mario who have the most annoying dash attacks that come out really strong and fast. I've tried to shield grab on many occasions but most of the time their dash attack will go through my shield and they'll...

Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna try it out at bedtime. What's happening at the moment is that I'm dashing twice (especially on the ending flick) so I think I'm just doing it wrong.

I literally can't pull this off. Getting so frustrated.

I can't seem to pull off perfect pivot into jab.....I end up pulling off the pivot but then if I try to jab then I end up doing a dash attack Like this > (start) then I do < > (dash attack) Instead of > (start) then <> (jab) Anyone got any tips? T_T

Take this latest lesson from your kirby betrayal : Imitations will never be as good as the originals.

Nuh-uh. You're forgetting F-Tilt or even the jabs. If he rolls back, you can guarentee he'll tilt you away in self defense. These will send you reeling (he can even F-tilt you with the first hit to stun you so the grenade blasts behind you, catching you in the explosion) approaching Snake from...

I play against one of the best European Snake players nearly every week and i know this matchup really well. Peach's floatiness and her actual float in general counters many of Snake's moves. F-tilt and Jabs are useless if you're in the air, Grenades planted on the floor can be floated over...

Well yeah, of course she is. The problem is that not many players play with her at all. I dont really know why that is, but if i was to guess, it would come down to the fact that her playstyle isnt super fast and takes a lot of thought and effort. Or maybe most players wouldnt want to play...

Beating Peach is actually more simpler than you think. The essence of Peach's game lies in the float. So as Ness, use F-air, U-smash and PK thunder to knock Peach players out of their floats then minute you see them try to go in the air.

I just played against a good Ike and this is how i countered the spacing issue. There's a couple of ways i went about doing it. First one, reverse glide toss. The turnip usually bonks him as he lands on the ground, and you're further back. Causes much frustration on Ike's part and makes him...
