What are the odds of Project M appearing at Jersey Japes? You originally had it the first week put took it away before the tournament even started. I have no idea why, but you should really consider running PM. there are a lot of PM players and there are only a few PM tournaments in New Jersey and they're all quite far away from Princeton.
I try my best to not get grabbed. I space with tilts whenever I can. Bair is kind of dangerous since Sheik can dash grab or dash attack you after the Bair ends. Crouch cancel grabs are really good.
