    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Hey everyone, long time no post. I thought if anywhere was good to ask questions about neutral, it would be here. I have been really struggling as of late to deal with Fox utilizing the top platform on Yoshi's. It feels to me like Fox effectively threatens the entire stage from that position...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Say Sheik is recovering from in an ambiguous space slightly above/out from the ledge, rather than going low and sweetspoting with double jump/up b. How do you generally cover that. A lot of your streamed Sheik sets and when I watch you vs Karn, the Sheik favors low recovery and you cover it...

    Because this is such a hub of Marth knowledge I'm gonna post this here even though it isn't really a question. It's a guide on throw kills vs Puff. I'm not trying to spread it everywhere to stroke my ego; I just genuinely hate to see Marths struggle to kill Puff and have known that struggle...

    Hey, can you outline cornering and juggling in the Marth ditto? I know that's fairly general, but the way I'm juggling now, I feel like sometimes I'm eating a mixup when I try to hit the other Marth because they might side b stall or DJ and counterhit me, and I'm pretty sure there's a better...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    A couple of quick questions on edgeguarding. I see a lot of success with WD back off bair vs Sheik in particular as she up bs to ledge. However, I don't have an organized system on when to go for this and I don't know exactly when she's going to be vulnerable to it. Thoughts? When...

    Hey, I've been struggling with getting faired out of my jump vs Sheik. I know Marth's fair SHOULD beat Sheik's in theory, but i find that even when I SH to call out Sheik's jump, I get faired way too often air to air. Is there any likely culprit for this?

    This is a good explanation/example of pivot grabbing Puff's bair/drift: https://youtu.be/HYCoA6cgwTw?t=1m27s

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    This is something I've really only encountered on the occasion that I've played top level Foxes who I wouldn't beat anyway (Druggedfox and AbsentPage are the two I'm thinking of, so way above my level) but do you have any preferred counterplay to running shine->aerial? My favorite counterplay...

    Alright so, if you dislike dtilt, jab, and side b, do you use/how do you use any hitboxes when trying to advance/take space away from falcon? Jumping near him is extremely risky, and you obviously can't always empty dash/WD in.

    How do you feel about jab vs Falcon nair? My experience matches your opinion that side b doesn't interact as favorably as some people say, but jab tends to work better for me.

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    2 Questions for PP/Anyone? What is the best way to punish Sheik for jumping? Rising fair is great but can't be done on reaction. Other characters are so much easier to DD grab because their aerials actually have lag and they don't have near instant moves that come out after the AC. Peach is...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    How do you gameplan/go about dealing with high Falcon recoveries? I can kill Falcon below the stage/stage level almost every time, but if he gets too much higher than a side platform on his up b I end up letting him live far too often.

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Do you know of any good footage of a Marth dealing with a strong platform/needle game from a Sheik? Swedish doesn't really play that style much, and your sets with Plup involve one with Plup having a jank controller and another with you visibly not playing up to par. Your stuff with M2K is...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    You incorporate SH nair into your FD combos a lot more than M2K, and it seems to pay pretty solid dividends. Can you expound upon its usage at all?

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    This one is probably a little harder to answer, but do you use any cues to avoid overextending in your punish game? Lately several of the stronger players in my region have identified that they're often not winning neutral outright against me, but I'll still give them opportunities to access...
