Useless and only vs high lasers.

I don't know if it helps or makes things harder, but I try to not think or the follow-ups and the parry separate, but more as one unit. Since the parry is so fast, you really don't have time to do the parry then think about what kind of thing you want to do out of it... So if I think Falco is...

Doing the same option over and over again is obviously bad. Although some options are suboptimal because they don't being anything new to the table. In general it covers less options, and doesn't cover them as well, as some of your other tools on shield, while not covering any option that...

The difference between what is on paper and what actually works is huge, but if you're looking to figure out what is best to do, I definitely wouldn't aim for sub-optimal options. I'd be willing to bet that the reason you see PP do that option in a singular clip was probably because it was on...

DJ -> Dair can be reworded as 'take a huge risk then protect is as weakly as I possibly can'. Pretty much just asking to lose your DJ and die. If you want to have a tomahawk that accomplishes nothing except act as a bait, FH Dair will autocancel. If you want a useful AC, SH Bair. If you want a...

The goal of wd back out of shield pressure is to move out of the way so that if your opponent commits to something (grab, nair, or Usmash oos) you can just punish it. Interrupting their lag with a laser is a weaker way to accomplish this goal. Unless you're terrible at this game, you shouldn't...

When you say it covers those options, you mean it hits someone when they do those options. The question is, what does it accomplish? You get 2%, and lock them down a little bit. In contrast, before you can execute this situation you've already locked them down to the point where they are in...

I don't think anyone says aMSa does poorly in Japan in general, but comparatively he does poorly. Getting 5th at Apex and and getting anything other than 1st at Japan tournaments is a huge difference in results.

I really wouldn't call it optimal in neutral, unless you mess up in neutral and get in a situation you don't want to be in. You have better tools that don't require you to take damage, so I'd only intentionally use the double jump armor to counter attack when you need to.

One thing to consider is that Doc will not always be in a position where he can approach with both a pill and an aerial, and usually he has to work to set up that approach. If you're just letting him have it, there is half of your problem. This sounds like it may be an issue with your stage...

I mix up hitting her before she uses the fair, and punishing her landing if she comes up short. Also, if you get a parry, I'd go for a fair. If you're fishing for a kill, you can try egg lay to pop her up, then hit her on her way down. It isn't reliable, because they can act out of breaking out...

I'm pretty sure at every level of play, Yoshi will have some success from people not knowing the MU. I think he will also have a large penalty because he is so hard to play and just isn't as good as some high tier characters. aMSa does significantly worse in Japan, since he consistently is at...
