How to deal with...

[~Pink Fresh~]

It is basically a continuation of what we were talking about in the OBR. I give a situation, and you guys come up with the best ways to solve them. I will give a situation per week (since it's more people here than the OBR). At the end of the week i will update it with the best answers, and give a new situation. I'll try to make them as genaral as possible, so they can be applied to all opponents.

As it was before, try to be Creative, but please be reasonable. Who knows, maybe somebody knows something that we don't.


Situation #1
Your opponent is recovering from the right of Smashville. The moving platform has just reached the right as well. they have all their jumps and you are currently standing on the moving platform. they are out of the screen, (in the magnifying glass) and recovering on the same level as the moving platform. what do you do to edgeguard and possibly gimp them?

I'd try to bait an airdodge w/ PKF or PKF (lol). I mean PK Fire or PK Freeze, and follow up with a Fair. That or throw out a PKT in that direction and loop it near them.

 

[Neon Ness]

If it's anyone besides Ness, Lucas, Mario, Zelda, Fox, Falco, Wolf, ROB, Marth, or Lucario, I'd PKT them into oblivion. The side of the head has high priority, higher than the front. Even if I miss with the head, they'd get stunned by the tail, which kills 2nd jumps. After they're forced to Up B or however else they'd recover, I'd go with forward air... comes out fast, is probably gonna be fresh because I seldom use it onstage, and is a KO move, especially that close to the edge of the screen. If it's one of the characters mentioned above that can some how parry PKT, then I'd aim a PK Fiyah at them. Chances are I'd miss, but they will have had to have jumped or airdodged. If they evade high, I'd go for an up Smash... If they evade low, they'd need to up B to reach the platform, after which I would grab and fthrow...

A lot of it depends on my own % as well as the opponent's, but... yeah, I think that's roughly what I'd think of doing.

full hop perfect landing onto the platform if you aren't already on it and immediately Dsmash. Chances are they'll double jump in an attempt to get to the platform and get hit by it from above through any airdodge or recovery they might try. It should even trade hits with Marth or MK's Up B's. Do it from around the center of the platform rather than the edge so that even if they get behind you it's likely they'll get hit.

If they see you coming and save their double jump and Up B in an attempt to make it to the ledge rather than the platform, you should have time to make it back to the ledge before they do and edgeguard with PKT1. The only times they might get there before you is if they're playing Metaknight or Jiggs or something. Either way you have risked nothing and are in an advantageous position.

i'll use dsmash
PKT doesn't seem a good idea, because the opponent must be near you

Umm... why?

It's a projectile, after all...

 

[Chuee]

I'd use PKT to knock them around until the platform moves away and then edgeguard if i can.

 

[Irsic]

Two PK Fires. SH PK Fire off the stage, immediately drop through said platform and pk fire again, if both missed, jump and go for fair or uair, then recover.

SV moving platform travels almost to touching the blastzone, so if the opponent is offscreen, then both of you will be really close. At this time, PKT won't be fast enough to turn around to tailwhip, so a simple air dodge and you'll be in a bad position, and you can't cancel the PKT with an object
