Thanks. I'll just try to adjust my game and see. The problem is that these players, after kicking my pert little behind, tend to bail after a game or three, so I don't get more experience with the matchup! Oh, last night I ran into a Bowser Jr. who was the best I'd seen. I couldn't approach...

And how on Earth do I approach the Cloud matchup? I can't even get close. He can spam Blade Beam more easily than I can return fire, and seem to fall prey to all his moves, lose priority every time, and so on.

I like the guide a lot! And I will be studying it. Question: is Samus' side special worth using? I never really see Nairo use it, but I always liked it. If so, where is the sourspot on it? That is especially great for spacing someone out and I love getting the edge guard with it, but I never...

Well, I want to go with what's best, or at least most efficient, keeping in mind my main of ZSS. Though earlier tonight I was doing well, but lately I've been getting schooled by everyone. I can't figure out how to approach. It doesn't help that the damn thing won't short hop half the time. A...

Realistically, do you lose anything by not doing C-stick aerials? Am I missing out on anything important for competitive play if I just continue to do it manually? The only thing I can think is a problem would be fast-falling the D-air of characters like Cloud (or even Link). Is it possible to...

Should be later tonight, and this weekend. I'm operating on PST, but I have a weird schedule.

I'll have to practice that a bunch. Thanks! I'll let you know how it works out. If you want a training partner, let me know, because I really need to improve my game.

Ah, so setting C-stick to just "Attack" instead of "Smash Attack" lets you keep your momentum? Hm. I might have to use that. I tried testing out using ZR for jump and it got very difficult, since I'm so used to pressing X. If you have X to grab and Z to jump, do you use Y for shielding?

I had a question about this. How do expert ZSS players control her? Especially when they have such tight, precise movements. I don't use C-stick aerials for basically anyone. I tried it with Mega Man, but I noticed that it stopped my momentum, and I use that momentum a lot. Running jump into...

I got totally trashed by a Shulk player earlier. I couldn't figure out how to approach and kept getting comboed like it was going out of style. Of course he used Buster, so he racked up damage ridiculously fast, which only added to the frustration. Had a bit of problems with Mac and Lucina, too...

Sure. I think I added you, or someone else added me. You don't have to prove yourself, though. I could just use some help. Playing with randoms online is laggy and difficult to learn from as a result, but I need to practice against live human opponents, and ones who can give me some pointers are...

Bump! I need some help with practicing. Particularly from an expert ZSS player, because I feel like I'm struggling with some things. Getting her bread-and-butter to work reliably is part of it. Anyone interested?

I've been trying to use C-stick for smash attacks now, but I don't use it for aerials. I tried it, because of advice in another thread, and it just doesn't feel comfortable or natural to me. And certain characters, like Mega Man, seem to lose all aerial momentum when you use C-stick for aerials...

This is my experience, as well. I played my friend Erik for hours and I played Cloud for most of that time. He tried him a few times (also being a big Final Fantasy fan), but struggled adjusting to Cloud's mediocre recovery (without Limit Break). I'd been quite used to it by that point so I was...

Okay. What do you do for face buttons? Do you have Y as grab or do you use it for shield, or maybe make X shield and Y jump, so you can press Y+A to grab?
