powershield beats lazers

back roll beats lazers > phantasm

dash attack does under lazers if timed right

nair beats phantasm easily

Dash doesn't beat lasers O_o Maybe if the falco times them very wrong. But everything else was good.

grab release dair is a real combo. if you don't time it correctly they can uair or shuttle loop, but it does work on humans. lol

Mr. R

You can input ANY action while holding down going through a moving platform to platform cancel. It doesn't have to be a Dair. In fact, I wouldn't recommend using Dair, lol.
If you don't hold down, you can just press dair as you pass through the platform and it works the same. I think thats what he's trying to say.


Guys I can't seem to get the fthrow > fthrow > dthrow > dthrow > dthrow > fsmash on any of the spacies! Sooo hard, how do you guys do it? Can I have an exact breakdown of how its done, and what is needed?

ur right i've tried other aerials i think dair is the most easy one but at the same time the most risky one as well.

idk dair works good enough for me to do it consistently without failing ._.

dair is good because it gives you a 5 frame leeway to platform cancel I find.

without using c stick down to 'dair', I can only ever platform cancel to shield... !_!

dair before hitbox comes out auto cancels, and I think you can 'platform cancel' once a character is auto cancel position.

You can platform cancel with a light shield which allows you to block upon canceling your animation and landing on the platform
uhh, i thought light shielding wasn't in this game lol

do you just mean not pressing down L all the way, or is this a typo?

falco. snake isn't that great of a secondary since he only semi covers metaknight
otherwise possibly ice climbers

MK and DDD. Close matchups are ROB, DK, ZSS, Snake and Wolf. Peach, if you're West Coast. Falco and/or MK wreck most of those matchups.

MK and Dedede mainly, and then there are some other more evenish MUs to look out for.

Edit: ninja'd.

ICs handle Dedede, but I don't think they're that great against Meta, who's the bigger problem.
