Hey guys, I have a few questions: How practical are Ike's footstool combos? Should I be grinding to get them down? It seems like they won't be useful since the opponent can DI left or right after I footstool them to avoid my followups (although I figure this could be a matter of me not being...

How about flip kick combos after dsmash to meteor people off stage, or after uair as an air dodge read?

Tap jump may be useful so that you don't have to move your thumb from X/Y to the C stick every time you want to quickly do an aerial after jumping. Although since I personally dislike tap jump I just use Z for jump and assigned X to grab. But then again you can do whatever you want. Nairo uses...

A solid response, thanks. My only concern is that the lowered defences from Jump make me a bit nervous when fighting a heavy hitter like Little Mac. If my opponent is making me worry, should I still go for Jump?

When should I pick Speed or Jump Monado? Recently I've been mostly using Speed but I'm aware that both modes are good for attacking, followups, spacing, and other neutral game shenanigans. I'm having a hard time knowing when to go for Jump in instances other than just edgeguarding or recovery.
