Defs, Dash attack as an approach is generally a no-no
Generally I would stand at the ledge and wait and react to ledge actions, but I had to shield because I couldn't really shield on reaction in the input lag, and I'd try to drop shield > turn around grab and I'd just grab the wrong direction lel
Roll is honestly an ok option, being on the ledge in this game is a HORRIBLE position to be in since every action can be punished so you HAVE to make sure that there's no patterns to your ledge game or else you'll get punished severely. And yes, normal get up is still a pretty good option! It has less vulnerable frames than a roll does.
I'm extremely grab-happy, I like to play defensive characters too (which is what attracted me to Zelda in Brawl, and later Wolf), so turtle is a fun character for me. Throwing people is fun.
I liked how you couldn't use Din's on stage because I'd just run up to you and grab you. You tried it while I was in the air at some point too but I just used fair and cancelled it >.>, I think I got hit by the move like... twice.
You used Nayru's and jab and dtilt excellently though imo, you make Zelda look like a half decent character rofl
Go to local tournaments!
Edit: One last thing, down throw I am convinced is useless. up throw is honestly probably better at starting combos.
Yeah, Dash Attack... My trusty punisher is not good in these defensive situations, haha.
I noticed that too when you grabbed in the wrong direction, haha. I think I would have gotten much more punished if you had the proper connection. I will definitely try my best to work on incorporating more mix ups for my ledge get up game though-!
So many "awkward" footsie situations that got me nervous. Like being in range of Bowser's huge normals but not in range of Zelda's. That's the worst situation I hate being in, haha.
And Din's hitting -twice-?! That's like, a miracle already to be honest. I'll take what I can get when it comes to that move. I did nick you with Farore's a couple times too, though I definitely did not want to rely on it.
Hmm, your Bowser really made me feel actual ledge pressure for the first time in a while. I never felt so hard pressed when I reached the ledge before, so it was a good experience!
I take your compliment very happily, considering your generally bleak outlook on Zelda this time around haha. It really is a big compliment coming from you, so thank you very much!
To be honest? I was actually using down throw in a panic hahaha! I normally never use it so often, but I think I wasn't thinking straight at some points (especially at the beginning)! Although I did get a semi-successful Uair out of that chase I did one time on the Mario Level if you remember. Though considering it's VS Bowser, it might have been a tad risky...
We should play again some time!
