Dtilt vs mk ? lol i hardly ever use d tilt theres always better options that give u better follow ups or more % , u said if mk is running towards u d tilt there are FAR better options if a mk is going to just run towards u for a grab or w/e.
1. if a mk runs towards you , depending on what your doing when he is running towards u do that option obviously , holding a nade = grab with nade and lead it to a tech chase depending on explosion time left on the nade or if you have no nade out either grab normally or f tilt , 21% > 10% from a dtilt which kinda sucks anyway? + the f tilt knocks them back further than the d tilt if they sheild / more sheild pressure , your suggestion of using d tilt in this position vs mk was stupid in my opinion
2. holding a granade often makes a mk think about atacking you until they get that opening where they wont get blown up , sometimes if an mk is aproaching on the ground hold the nade throw it up ( yea hold back release b u know wot i mean) theyl try get under that nade alot fo the time to punish the little lag of releasing the nade , alot of the time there keeping the distance and try to quickly run in and punish if there not fast enough (miss read how long they got to punish it belive me it happens quite a bit in this mu) you can just dacus really quick and get that 11% or even kill them depending on the % + get away safely if they manage to sheild it or not..
3. get that port 4 u never know when things will **** you over
4. tech chasing mk when he rolls behind you : predicting the roll to a d air ally showed me how effective this was when i first saw him use it kills early and does 29% if all hits land when this move is used its gaurenteed 16% providing u dont mess up (move away from oponent) after the 3rd hit they can just sdi out and some people have masterd getting out of the d air 95% of the time such as players like Kasper who i play on a monthly basis (europes best falco) so d air isnt that effective vs him now altho at low %'s if i use d air he can punish the lag after the 3rd hit providing he sdi's out but at high % it will knock him up in the air and hes unable to punish letting snake try get a airdodge read /follow up for a kill or hit, same applys for vs mk obviously i was just giving an example of vs some1 who can smash di it everytime.
other tech chasing predictions : after a d throw you get alot of people who stay stil on the ground hoping youll predict the do a forward roll or mybe just to make your sheild go down a bit.. predict this none movment after the d throw with either a jab to f tilt (works on some chars some chars are to small for the jab to actually hit but for mk it works (obviously) if your vsing some1 like marth lets say , a dthrow and he stays on the ground , if ur right infront of him the 1st hit of ftilt wont hit but the 2nd will (u have to be a bit of a distance after d throwing marth for both hits of f tilt to hit) so i often just use d air if i predict my oponent wil just lay on the ground straight after the d throw it works really well.
If your oponent gets up atack obviously sheild it re grab , or punish with f tilt/up tilt depending on there % if you can kill and your sheild if you can take another hit to it or you can always mindgame them with a low sheild into get up atacking and spot dodge there get up atack of course then go for another re grab or whatever u want
As for metaknight rolling forward his roll isnt that good u can still mybe react to it with a dacus and hit sometimes depending on what the mk does (doesnt sheild isnt fast enough after the roll or something) but whenever a char rolls forward its just about prediction.
5. When a mk down throws you at low % , di down and away from the mk tech the floor i always go for a standup tech rather than a roll direction tech so when they run to try re grab or follow it up you can instantly up tilt, f tilt or mybe even grab the mk , obviously dont keep get up tech roll sometimes too to stop being predictable.
i dono i write this because im bored and see some stupid suggestions in this thread in what to do in the mu , i only gave basic info but mybe it will help some other snakes who dont place so good out
