How do you get out of Zelda's UpSmash/F-Smash?

•Col• · Jun 14, 2008

I've just recently started to play as Zelda, and I've been reading that it's possible to escape her Forward Smash and her Up Smash through Directional influence, but I can't seem to do it (neither can any of my friends). So I'm wondering, what exactly am I doing wrong?

Hah! Me thinks that you're someone who can't beat Zelda and/or want some tips on beating her because you main someone else.

HAH! I'M NOT TELLING YOU!
=P

I've seen this happen the most on short sized characters. When eating an Usmash you would just move either left or right. Friend 'o mine believes tapping shield will help the process a bit.

As for the Fsmash, I've tested this a bit and I've seen people just literally fall right out of it without the need of DI at all. But if you do want to DI out of it you'd just have to move away from Zelda's direction. You'll avoid getting hit by the smash part of the attack this way.

You just do this.
Idk about her Usmash though.

It's somewhat difficult to DI out of her smash attacks in Brawl if she connects you properly, but yeah, what they said works.

Haha, no I really play Zelda. My friend was getting upset for getting trapped into her Up smash every time, and I told him that it was possible to escape it somehow. Anyway, thanks everyone for the help... Still having trouble with her Up Smash though... D:

this has been asked before... and the answer that EVERY Zelda main should always give is:

Airgemini · Jun 15, 2008

Why would you tell your friend how to escape it if you want to win?

Uh.... Ephraim? o-o If you're talking about my avatar (Err, before I switched it...), that was Sothe from the most recent Fire Emblem. Here's a pic of him: http://eaichu250.superbusnet.com/feartwork/FireEmblem10Wii/Sothe.jpg

Well, he was getting really pissed and screamed at me saying it was impossible, because he's "tried everything"... xD

Great! We've told the secret about escaping Zelda's Fsmash and Usmash, now this thread should be deleted.

Fsmash: DI upwards
Up Smash: Be short and light

If you want to play competitvely, you need to make sure your friends are giving you legitimate competition.

Why would you want to practice against people who don't know how to play?
That will just leave you grossly unprepared for the real deal.

Ztarfish · Jun 16, 2008

Also, if you're so unfortunate as to not being short and light, if you're only very lightly caught in the Usmash you may DI upwards to get out.

telling them how to beat you won't make them better. They need to work at it themselves.

Thats true generally speaking, but for specific tricks such as WANTING to DI out of something but not knowing how .. well, I think thats a little different.

Change the controller port.

character that r small have a better chance of getting out of up smash randomly. in general i dont think you can get out of it. for forward smash just hold up on the joystick.

it shows good sportsmanship

they'll find out eventually anyways, so you may as well be the one to tell them

oze6000 · Jun 19, 2008

Really, its not like DI is that big of a secret, most people are probably trying it anyways while they're getting ***** by a smash, what else is there to do? Those smashes are effin LONG. =P

Veggie123 · Jun 20, 2008

Being overly reliant on f/usmash will obviously prompt people to find ways around it.

Escaping fsmash is pretty common knowledge, though I don't exactly remember if you can escape it if tap jump is turned off. It's possible to get out of usmash anytime (except at the end) by repeated smash DI. Granted, even if people are aware of being able to escape usmash, majority of them will not know how to apply that knowledge consistently enough anyway. The ones that can most likely know how to escape it, it's no big secret! This by no means renders them (completely) useless, it just raises the need to be aware of the consequences of reckless spamming.
