I've actually been thinking about this, I think it has pretty much the same range as utilt (in front) and is faster. I'm not sure about the DI thing SFP, I don't use it that much but I haven't been punished for it on hit, even if they do get out of it theres too much hitstun to punish (in my experience)

Hey, Nick (or anyone) , I need advice on edgeguarding.

I've been using ZSS for like 2 months now.
I'm good at racking damage, and at getting my opponent off of the stage,
but when that is done, I lose creativity (lack of experience).

Any sexy shenanigans or edgeguarding-tactics you wanna share?

I wish your vids vs Choice were recorded Nick, he usually beats me pretty bad, even though I can handle every other Falco in Norcal

olimars arent recovering ._.

except japanese ones apparently, and thats because you know, he can throw **** and has superarmor. zss has doodoo options if chars just throw a hitbox out jump is gone or a move with a lasting hitbox it goes through the invince frames of your down b

That's the thing, though. Her jumps climb so fast that they are difficult to steal. It either either moves her out of the way of the hitbox or into it, the second of which is much less likely unless it's a projectile, because if ZSS jumps up into a char. she's probably going to hit them with Uair before they can steal her jump.

And as for hitting her out of the flip, I shouldn't have to tell you why people aren't trying to hit ZSS out of her down b off stage. In fact, I'm not going to. Your just going to have to ask someone else. :laugh:

Because I learned to... not get gimped. :D

Also, bnecause I can gimp Falco, nd he can SD on RC. :D

I wish my vids of me beating DEHF were recorded.
Can't always get whaty ou want. :(

To add onto this, ZSS's uair beats like... almost every move in the game.
DJ uair is too good.

Edgeguarding against Wario & Snake.

I need to get better at edgeguarding in general, though.
Wario:
Dair always beats his Bike. Just throwing this out there. (If you would be in an advantageous position after losing your stock.

With no Bike/Fart, D-smash > footstool kills Wario.

If Wario goes high, boost-jump your first jump, then hit Wario for being stupid against ZSS.


Snake:
If Snake goes low, just laugh about it and deal as much damage as you want. (D-smash > footstool actually keeps him low, giving you more damage opportunities.)
You can also use your flipstool, for it's bigger range, to footstool Snake after a c4 recovery.

If Snake goes really high, boost jump > DJ reverse nair is the biggest thing you have.
It's fun.

Umm... yeah.
Off the top of my head. (I'm so tired. -.-)

nick how the **** did you beat DEHF??

and how we're your matches with mikehaze?
Magic, gimps, and SDs. XD
Gimped him last stock game 1, he SDed 1st stock game 3.
Also, I da bess.

Haze's matches were close. Won the first match, lost the second one, was close to timing out the third game.

Knock Falco off the level, and make him dead.
I'm not even kidding.
Edgeguarding Falco is the ONLY way to win the MU.
Time our amazing 1-frame jab to knock Falco out of phntasm.
D-smash him.
Footstool, nd tether the ledge.
Yup.
Also, up-b knocks Falco out of phantasm after the invincible first 1/3 of it.

How does it feel to lose to cheese?
I got Cheese'd. :(
I don't care, honestly.
The rule was strict, but it was there.

Do you play with rumble on or off?

How do you suggest getting better at Brawl? Kinda vague but I'm talking in terms of mindsets, how to practice, what to do, ect.

Added a second question btw:

Practice against people at your level, or slightly higher.
Play to learn, not to win.
No idea how else to practice.
Try stuff until you find something that works.

ffffffff no hope

On a less painful note, Hall and Oats are also coming. Any tips for them?
lol yes Nick is the expert on San Diego brawlers, excellent choice. I've only played them both in tournies and many friendlies, and teamed with one of them. I wouldn't know anything about them :laugh:

Why am I the best ZSS? Was it all the practice? Or the fact that I don't play her to hide how good mine is?
You are a demon, which automatically makes you amazing at stuff.
You're also a Toon Link, and everybody knows he's a little kid.
Little kids have more time to play Brawl than adults.
Therefore!
You have more to to practice Toon LInk, and you use demonic thought-stealing powers to learn everything about ZSS, every cool thing every top ZSS doesn, and then you have time to practice it.

I could be in an Ace Attorney game.
