    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    I only heard after big house from sacredtwin that the time has finally come...people used to ask me all the time if pp still answers questions on sb and i ALWAYS responded with YES to their disbelief. An end of an era. Thank you for being my greatest source of improvement.

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    If you try to dash dance where the fox is within WD dtilt range and you dash back and the Fox does an overshoot like nair or running shine or dtilt, how does that influence your future dash dance sequence? Or is this when you'd start favoring some zoning? If so, how are you doing it out of movement?

    Honestly halfway through the post I realized my own answer but submitted anyways to vent and hear your perspective LOL I'm intrigued why you're pointing out dtilt as the answer, as cc is hard precisely space around and I'm not really sure how to cleanly beat their jump in response to...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Got some questions vs sheik I'm really struggling in dealing with sheiks slight jump forward fair, and the mixups beyond that. To start, the first component is actually beating the fair itself, and then the second component is reading the correct timing of them jump fairing. In terms of...

    PP, in your prime days you're able to move fast in disadvantage situations. I think what exemplifies this a lot is your marth game vs mango at MLG where in the beginning of the set, you get naired at 0 (not CC'd), and you immediately dash out of the hitstun and get a neat reversal. I would 100%...

    would you say doing a partial approach drift in fair work well vs Marth and Sheik? Or would there be a different variation that's better?

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Given what we recently talked about using dash back to be safe vs falco, how does that translate vs fox? I find that dash back may not be great when they overshoot or when they're close. What's the "safe" option ratio to use dtilt in place vs dash back against Fox?

    How would you ledgetrap Falcon that mixes aerial from ledge, NIL/AI, WL down, WL back DJ plat?

    I feel like I get owned a lot by Falco's FH falling dair or bair more than I should. When I'm not preemptively jumping, I find it very hard to hard punish that option even when I'm close. Should I be punishing the startup of the FH by guessing their timing of whenever they rise? Should I...

    I've been finding great use of falling upair/fair lately for juggling floaties. But I'm not sure about that tool vs puff, given her multiple jumps and drift mobility. Should the go-to for juggle puff be dash rising fair and reads on her jumps?

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    We discussed how I have the most trouble vs Fox when they camp a bit, then go in as I get impatient. I think fundamentally, I'm usually playing a bait game to get them to approach, and then I counter their approach with my defense. I think I play this way because it feels like I get the best...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Say I do a dash back vs Fox in expectation that they will approach, but I misread and they don't approach during my dash back timing. I tend to have a "lost" dash dance after that where I dash dance in place a couple times hoping that they approach, but they have no intent beyond that. To...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Regarding positioning my attacks too far away from Peach, I assume you mean primarily when I jump aerial such as trying to fair peach's aerials. I think I find myself at that spot because I'm covering the furthest approach option she can do. When she undershoots her aerial, then I obviously...

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    Why do you think Marth wins on FoD vs Sheik? I find that the small space and varying platforms heights generally don't do me any favors and promotes scraps, whereas BF I have more room and the platforms are stable at least.

    Important Carefully Ask PPMD about the Tiara Guy

    When Fox is on the side platform on all stages and he SH offs, he threatens quite a lot that I feel like I need to respect even on DL, let alone PS/YS/Fod. He then DJs to the top platform (not counting PS here). Do you think it's often worth to intercept Fox to the top platform, or just stay my...
