We know at this point that Chrom is a Roy echo with an Ike-ish up special. Roy is definitely different enough from Marth/Lucina to where the same issue doesn't apply

I'm definitely open to the idea of Squad Strike as a primary tournament format if it works the way we understand. We've dealt with dominant characters in pretty much every iteration of Smash and I can't think of a better way to deal with them than a format like this. If you consider Smash 4...

I think people are confused because shielding out of skid is pointless when you can just shield directly out of run. But I believe OP is just talking about using shield to test IASA frames after skid. I'd like to see that list as well.

Very good read, thanks for putting this together. Without knowing the exact mechancis, I've been searching for buffered setups with ZSS for a while to no avail :(

I was actually wondering if any moves int his game had that perfect combination. Interesting to find out that there are 13 of them, care to post a list?

[proxy post] 20: Sheik 19: ZSS, Rosalina, Ryu 18: Sonic, Mario, Pikachu, Fox, Diddy 17: MK, Ness 16: Cloud, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Villager, 15: Yoshi, Peach, Donkey Kong, ROB, Dark Pit, Pit, Kirby, Olimar, Wario 14: Bowser, Greninja, Ike, Lucas, Robin 13: Toon Link, Lucario, Falco, Game &...

ZSS list looks literally perfect atm IMO. Nick and Choco are super close, but I think Choco takes a super slight edge atm. Also, I go by Remzi now, not VaBengal if you don't mind switching that. I gotta start using Zard more in tourney and get to #1 on that list :P

Disagree with all of this. His neutral isn't the problem, it's that he struggles HARD to return to neutral from a disadvantageous state. Full jump nair, dtilt, jab mixups, and flamethrower are all fantastic tools in neutral. He also has one of the strongest kill throws in the game and phenomenal...

If you want some more variety in your ZSS section, I've got one here vs Fox for ya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCvngXz-0a4

I'll do that in situations where either I don't think the up B is going to fully connect or if the up B won't combo. If either of those scenarios is happening, and I feel like my opponent is scared enough to try and airdodge a possible up B attempt- then I'll down B after the uair and kick them...

Yep! But you don't have time to angle your flip kick perfectly afterwards, so the key is to space your nair at those percents such that the immediate flip kick afterwards gets the spike hitbox.

Its funny, frame-cancel nair > jab will actually work, and halt knockback, at 999%. I don't think boost kick is fast enough to catch people before they launch at higher percents, but frame-cancelling does significantly increase the percent range at which you can nair > boost kick.

This is a very important distinction that I was not aware of. Thanks.
