space animals??!???
xD there's a learning process to playing against fox and falco. i advise practicing combos on level 1 space animals on FD, so you get a feel for how to combo them. then start playing against players and focus on the grab and combo game... and instill every technique that may stop you from grabbing him in your head, and memorize the matchup.
some individual tips for each:
fox
- his ground shine isn't as devastating as you'd think. it simply moves you out of his way. if it separates your ice climbers, then you might be in trouble... just hope that he doesn't kill nana.
- practice combos against fox with one ice climber. this is ESSENTIAL to your survival and will give you a great amount of knowledge on basic approaches and aerial use for both 1 ice climber and 2.
- don't use side B too much if he figures out he can CC usmash you.
falco:
- ice blocks are your anti-SHL. if he spams you, spam him back. it'll keep the pressure game up and will also probably keep him close to you, where he is in great danger.
- if you have a chance to dsmash or fsmash, do so. you can easily kill falco at 50% with good edge guards
- manipulate his recovery... ice blocks, ledge dairs, spaced fsmashes, dsmashes on the sweetspot.. etc. heck, blizzard if you want. whatever works.
both space animals:
- attempt 0 to death on every grab. it's not worth it to just grab him and not kill him.
