Edge guarding Zelda

[Fefnir Cerveau]

Was wondering how you guys edge guard a Zelda who can sweet spot really well. There's a Zelda player here who gives me some trouble(unless resort to Fox, Sheik, Marth, or Falco) and it's usually a really close match with me winning just barely. Looking at the Character match up chart, I thought I was missing something. Since I have no trouble against her when I use the other top tiers. Could be just that my Peach sucks, but meh, I do great against fast fallers/slow characters. I don't have any videos, but I think my main problem is the edge guarding. I throw turnips, which almost never hits with the Zelda moving or reflecting, and floating off to hit her usally never works either. On the stage, I don't get too much hits in, since Zelda's pretty floaty herself, so I have to work patiently. My main problem is off the stage, so help me out some. Any on stage tips would be appreciated too.

Uh, anyone...? It's been a while now...

Several options:

If you know the Zelda is going to try and sweetspot, ground float over the ledge and start a dair.
She'll end up right in it, and you can finish with a nair.

Or, if you're below 100% you can also grab the edge
When Zelda BEGINS her teleport (she won't be aiming for the ledge cuz you're on it) get up, and ground float into a uair/nair, whichever is more appropriate.

Lol ^ that is from experience. There's not much you can do to a zelda teleporting deep into the stage though. That rarely happens anyways.

Ah, I see. Sounds pretty smart. Thanks for the tip.

On stage, how should I go about fighting her? Playing against her like I would for a fast faller is completely different, and it somehow seems a bit harder for me.

play smart. generally, you want to try to get under her (grabs, dtilt?) and then pwn her from under, since zelda has a very weak dair

also, play zelda like you would play a peach ditto. More turnips to approach.
