I think his strongest tool is still his banana, does anyone know a safe way to pluck it? since its a bit slower in this game. I try and use the peanut gun to cover me as I pull it, but that only sometimes works.

Hi PP you seem like a really smart guy, do you have a good method for keeping mental notes on your opponent during a match? To keep track of how they react to certain mix ups or is it best just to figure out their habits after the matches for the next time you play them?

I find this quite difficult to do, does anyone have a method for keeping track of something like this?

Even if it is a combo on training mode players can still DI it anyway so there is no true link. You just have to condition them to DI the way that you want so you can land the fair or look for an air dodge after the down throw.

If you think that your opponent is starting to play defensively you can use an auto cancelled down air just outside of their range to either bait out an aggressive response or if they don't pick an attacking option then you can go in for a grab if they decide to stay in shield. If they did pick...
