In my experience, Krool is easier to hit off stage when recovering low than Cloud since his recovery has a MUCH slower rate of ascension than Climhazazrd, meaning it's easier to time a Dair or even land a Bair on him. Plus he can't suicide you with his UpB either.

I basically lick my chops when I go up against a Bowser, DK or Incineroar as ZSS; they're probaly her best matchups because she's faster, can outrange them and also has low percentage KO options that can skill KO heavies at around 120%. It's just gonna be hard matchup, period. That said, I'd...

Banjo & Kazooie's "Breegull Bash" move is more violent than anything Scorpion has ever done.

Samus already has an advantage that Lucario and Mewtwo don't in that she charges the giant killer orb in front of her instead of behind her Ryu/Goku style. This would not only make it more effective against dash-grabbers (although I just keep jumping to mix them up instead), but also means you...

Hmmm, yeah I never even considered using Nair over Nayru to catch recoveries off-stage. The hitbox is similar in size and placement, and might even be bigger. According to ultimateframedata.com, Nair's hitboxes are active from frames 6-23, while Nayru's are active from 11-26. So the actual...

Been trying to get creative with my edgeguarding with Zelda as of late. Normally I focus on ledge traps, using Din's to force air dodges or time Phantom to cover ledge jumps and get ups. Setting up Phantom to cover mid and then using Din's during the delay to cover high or low is pretty...

Yeah this is probably what I should focus on the most. I tend to give up a lot of stage control by falling back and trying to set up for punishes. This ends with me being pushed to the edge, with no shield and no room to setup Phantom. Then I then get one dimensional trying to rely on Nayru...

Here's a vid I found on Mewtwo's combo game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mt0iz-Y8Cs Nowhere near as robust as Smash4, but it's not nothing either.

Yeah it seems like a bait and punish style, utilizing mostly parries and OOS punishes is the only way to get in on Cloud in neutral. I honestly can't land parries as easily online, especially against those laggy Clouds that forego a LAN adapter for whatever reason. :/ So I tend to primarily...

That looked like DK just straight up airdodged. Can't really tell since DK is already flashing white due to his charged Punch, but his animation looks like his airdodge.

Lucario is just a lot more polarizing with his aura ability, while Greninja is more consistent. Lucario gets wrecked in neutral with his lack of range and slow frame data, but hits harder than Ganon and Bowser at max aura+rage. The deal breaker for Lucario was mostly his significant weight nerf...

Fighting is super effective against Dark

Yeah the problem I have with Cloud are his aerials and those two special moves; Cross Slash and Climhazzard. It might just be the LAN lag, but unlike other fighters that hit as hard as he does, Cloud seems to have no endlag on these aerials and can space them out for free constant pressure...

That actually sounds a lot like the Cloud matchup with his new Limit Break only lasting 15 seconds. You think Cloud is harder since he can charge limit for free and throw out blade beams if you try to force him to approach?

Dark Samus is at 4.8M now: Roster GSP is 4.2M: Not close to Elite Smash, but I'm just happy to in the top half. :P
