FAQs
Are your questions already answered?
[collapse=Click and find out:]
1. How do you SDI Zelda's Fsmash?
- Push up and away with both sticks. You cant punish Zelda after SDIing. Occasionally you pop over and behind her, setting you up for another move.
2. How do you SDI Zelda's Usmash?
- Quarter-circle SDI straight up with both sticks. Only Marth, Lucario, Pit, Ice Climbers, Ness, Lucas and Samus can reliably SDI out of Usmash. If you are caught at the tip, you can SDI to fall out on the side - works especially well if your character is small. A staled Usmash becomes harder to SDI out of.
3. How do you SDI Zelda's Nair?
- The hits of Nair stun and drag you back in. Zelda has semi-control over your character's SDI based on its trajectory. SDI in the route you think is quickest to get out. You cannot SDI if it hits you when grounded and it's being autocancelled.
4. How do you SDI Zelda's Dtilt lock?
- SDI sharply away from her with both sticks. You may trip in the process!
5. Does transforming refresh Zelda and Sheik's moveset?
- Yes!
6. Which of Zelda's moves are safe on block?
- Spaced Fsmash, Ftilt, Dtilt, Jab and Nair (behind the shield or straight up from a short hop).
7. When does Dtilt start to become most effective?
- 40-50+% for lighties. 50-60+% for middle weights. 60+% for the heavies.
8. HELP! I'm being projectile camped! What do I do?
- Powershield! Patiently weave in. Nayru's and Din's are your anti-camping mixups - use them sparely.
9. HELP! I can't land Lightning Kicks! Any tips?
- Kick where you think they'll be! Kick OoS against characters of reasonable height. Double kick from a SH and mixup crossovers.
10. OMGZZZZ Zelda SUCKZZZ I hate her so much! DinZZZ is useless!!!
- Well!
