    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hi pp! What should I do when I'm below the side platform and fox is falling down on top of the platform? I usually try to escape to center stage but I'm not sure how to react if Fox chases me with short hop off aerial or run off aerial, since you have to be so far away to stuff that with a...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hi pp, what are some tips you have against Puff in the neutral game? Should I be playing more grounded or should I be playing vertically with the top platform? Against other characters I feel like there are things I look out for, like how they react to lasers, but against puff I can't make...

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hi pp! What is the difference between dash forward wd back vs dash forward dash back when trying to change the timing of an aerial? It feels like doing the dashes is more flexible and better most of the time, though it is easier to fall into a predictable rhythm with dash dancing. Do you have...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Hi pp. Do you recommend changing your gameplan depending on your own percent or whether you have the lead or not? Like taking more risks/reads in neutral vs trying to get extra damage vs playing the same as always. I find that whenever I get a stock lead against someone around my level I...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    How do you go about getting rid of bad habits in the game? I try to kick myself mentally everytime I do them, but it is hard because most of the people I play against can't punish me for them.

    PPMD's Falco Discussion Thread

    Hi pp! I find that when my opponent is shielding at about ftilt range away from me, I am bad at pressuring their shield. This is mainly for against Fox and Captain Falcon. The main mixup I try to do are drift forward laser, drift forward late nair, or walk forward shine into shield pressure if I...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Hi PP, When I'm expecting my opponent to throw out a fast attack (Sheik ftilt, Spacies utilt, Marth dtilt/jab) after lasering them, or in neutral when trying to dash dance grab as Marth, I often am too slow to punish. I usually end up high aerialing a shield or get hit by the double down when...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Hi PP, What do you do when you're thrown off your gameplan or are completely unsure of what your opponent will do next? I currently resort a lot to giving up space and looking for a whiff or opening I can use to get back in my groove. For example: I dash back expecting my opponent to whiff an...
