This guide is overall pretty detailed, but lacks a couple of things. 1. ZERO SUIT IS AMAZING ON BATTLEFIELD. Seriously watch NAIRO. You can hit people with up smash and up b from below very easily, and you can combo like six up airs in a row from a single down throw by using the platforms. The platforms give a Low ceiling, which maximizes her Up air and up B kills. Her Zair is not mentioned, and is great for spacing. Overall this guide could work, but it has some prominent mistakes that stop it from getting a higher rating. Also, the matchups are really innacurate. pikachu is probably her worst matchup, ness is harder than what he made it seem, etc. overall there is some info missing some inaccuracies that could really hinder a ZSS's play.
I like the guide, and there are some good tips in here, but I see it as average (no offense). Mostly, it's the inaccuracy of MU's. Beyond that, I'd like to add a few tips that you could add that would make this an excellent guide:)

1. Ness, Yoshi, Rosalina, and Pikachu are much harder matchups than they seem. Yoshi can be mid, but Pikachu is small enough to dodge more than half of our attacks; Ness has some crazy maneuvers that absolutely demolish ZZS; and Rosalina is a horrific MU to play outside of For Glory. Check out the official MU discussion for ZZS, the details in there are detailed and accurate!

2. For combos, I really can only think of is when your opponent's at roughly 50-65%, ZSS can hit with the back of the Uair, and jump into a Bair. Works any time you have the second jump as well as hitting the back of the Uair.

3. ZZS can pivot, SH, Bair to pressure foes fairly easily. It's a strong aerial, so any person who tries to match you in the air will get punished.

Overall, it was a good guide. If you take my tips into consideration, I'd be more than happy to reconsider my review:)
I enjoy that you're providing the percents of the moves, which is really great for novices, but you're providing misinformed information to them based upon your sole experience.

As how you said Lugi just has dumb throw combos, he's a silly character, and how you also said to ban Battle field as soon as possible. That's completely dumbfounded to use silly to describe a top 10 character, and BattleField Bad?!

You've mentioned that ZSS has great hitstun with her Up airs and you're right, she's a juggler, what makes a juggler even better is the inclusion of platforms! If you've watched Nairo... i mean, when you watched Nairo, you should have noticed his Up air combos connecting about 5 times in a row on an opponent thanks to the inclusion of Platforms! And it also allows her to provide a barrage of platform pressure with her up airs and up smash.

I couldn't finish reading this because the posters own beliefs vary much differen from mine especially when I watch Nairo's games and have a very contrastive experience with the lovely ZSS.

Very far from thorough and very representative of the posters own subjective views rather than providing information that can be related to the highest tiered player... Nairo.

I'd recommend this solely for information in regards to percents alone. Other than that, this will most likely lead any ZSS the wrong way.

1/100 stars.
This was quite the read, I fought a Yoshi/Bowser jr main, he got punished quite a lot. :D Thanks!
nice
Super thorough. Thanks for writing this.
can I use this base for my guides because its amazing
Helpful. Also, when you were going against Chudat; you fell to the temptation that every ZSS player runs into. The Down B spam.
goood stuff
I do wish you went a little more in-depth about her neutral game, because its one of her best features (like zoning with Nair, Bair, and Zair for example).

I plan to come back to this once school is out.
Awesome guide, loved the bit with the MUs although some were pretty useless lol.. However still very awesome guide, i learned alot.
Very detailed guide, helped me out with ZSS a lot
Really useful guide, thanks!
I main ZSS on the Wii U version. This helped me pull off some better Combos and such, thank you.
Great review! From day one I wanted to main her but I found her too risky to play as. After months of dropping and picking up new characters as mains, I have heed ZSS's calling hahaha. Also I wanted to share you this combo: When your opponents is about 90% above below 160% (Depends on character's weight, tested this on Dr. Mario) bait them near the edge, dthrow and IMMIDEATLEY short-hop/hop (depending on their angle or DI) Flip Jump to spike them down off stage. This works best for characters who have horrible recovery like Little Mac, Mario Bros., Captain Falcon, Ganondorf etc. I have not fully tested this but I think it would be nice to share with you guys.
tl;dr: Screw you for not reading!
Pretty good, gives a nice TLDR of ZSS moveset, combos, MUs, and general info. One thing you could add is what you generally want to do in the neutral with her. Like with C.F, you wanna do alot of SH Nair, SH uair, empty hops, dash dancing, short hopping, and generally baiting things out. As ZSS is a high rick/reward char, I imagine same thing is true for her but just something to note. Also, your the first person who said ZSS is easy. Most people consider her hard, WHO IS hard to master in this game for you then :p

Honestly I never found her very hard. From day one I sorta knew she'd be good. Anyways, I'll add more in detail when I finally get to work on this.
It's really helpful, but the combo section is a bit underdeveloped because you could add that Down Throw, Fair, Uair into Up B, you can di it but it works often, but other than that it's a good guide

Thank you! I know plenty of her combos, it's just sometimes I forget to write them down but do them all the time.
