lol, how come I saw that coming?

 

[Nefarious B]

Nick what is your thought process with edgeguarding

 

[Nefarious B]

And when you're in a grounded neutral setting what are you looking to take advantage of? Like what consciously goes through your head. Like me personally I find I do better when I have spacing at the forefront of my mind, since I frame trap pretty mechanically now

 

[Deathfox30]

When the new SSB comes out, how can I be amazing at it?

 

[Shaya]

Well obviously Marth and ZSS will get nerfed to nothing because fully charged shieldbreaker and down smash are extremely overpowered low start up moves that do too much damage and can result in killing you.

Meta Knight will be considered weak and get buffed some more, so just play MK in the new smash game.

 

[Gnes]

can you explain in detail how to fight Metaknight as ZSS?

No, it'd take too long.

U serious???

 

[NickRiddle]

U serious???

Yes, that was my serious answer.
You just win.

Better? :D


Also, when the new Smash comes out...
I dunno, depends on the nature of the game.
I'll show you vids when it comes out, and that'll be amazing.

 

[MT Zehvor]

Is D-Smash the best edge guarding technique(short of an edge hog) that ZSS has assuming the opponent is below her?

Only because it's safe.
Good opponents like making ZSS die from going off-stage.

 

[Ruuku]

If I wanna pick up ZSS, what's the first step?

 

[NickRiddle]

If I wanna pick up ZSS, what's the first step?

Hold the R or L button while selecting ZSS.

 

[rPSIvysaur]

but Nick, I can't select ZSS, I can only select Samus. Help me!

 

[Rubberbandman]

u hav 2 b playin 4 25 hrs @ lest then u hit up down a b restart ur wii then @ da title scren press L n R 25 times.

 

[Ruuku]

Hold the R or L button while selecting ZSS.

I was under the impression that I needed a final smash to change into ZSS.

 

[Shaya]

If you want to pick up ZSS, first thing you need to realise is you're using a bad character.

Then you got to work your *** off to win with slightly longer range, but no arcs (bar uair) aerials that make you rage every time Marth throws out a back air and is just like 'trolololololololol I HIT EVERYWHERE'

Then just spam dsmash and run away breverse side b while having a percent lead.

 

[NickRiddle]

Oh Shaya, still thinking that ZSS loses to Marth.
Such a sad case. :3

 

[MT Zehvor]

Is d-special a decent way to keep people not named Pikachu from edge hogging?

In other words, if they're standing at the edge of the stage, is using d-smash to flip over them and kick them from behind work well against decent players?

-MT

 

[NickRiddle]

Decent players?
Yes.

High-level players?
No.

 

[Rubberbandman]

Why would you go off the stage with it MT? It leaves you completely helpless and yells out to the opponent "please gimp me" unless you've already set up a kill.

Hey i got a few Qs.
1. is uair up-b a good frame trap to use?
2. what you do you think are the pillars of ZSS ground game?
3. How do you think ZSS grab should be utilized?
4. What issues do you think ZSS has personally?
5. What do you think is underutilized in your game and other ZSS?

Amazing.
D-smash, d-tilt, jab, u-tilt.
Umm... sparingly?
Options out of shield break and options against camping.
I don't use enough paralyzer. Other ZSS don't use enough d-smash. :D

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Options out of shield break and options against camping.

Hahahahahahahaa

epic

 

[NickRiddle]

That's what ZSS is missing.
Don't laugh at me.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Yeah metaknight has so many options out of shield break

 

[NickRiddle]

He can charge a smash attack that has kill potential.
We can...
Give the opponent a little more % on d-smash. YEAH!

 

[B.A.M.]

Nick Riddle is too good. Just given off too much inspiration right now. Im going to start play ZSS.Seems like space is fun after all.


EDIT: How long does ZSS grab box stay active? and does it stay active longer on pivot grab and by how much longer? How do we attempt to approach with ZSS?

Space is 100% more fun than non-space.

I have no idea how long the box is out. We have a thread for that.
All of her grabs have the same data IIRC.

Approach? Umm, armor helps at first.
Then just... run in?
Stay around tip of d-tilt spacing, and just... space them.
You don't want to approach a lot in most MUs anyway. MK and Snake are the two I feel you HAVE TO stay in on them... which is weird...

 

[stingers]

gs uploading that crystal nuzlocke video

[NickRiddle]

Going to do more of those.
My Emerald Nuzlocke is going to blow people away.
Shaky and I are going to race, because we learned how to run 2 different VBAs at one time~

Yeah and I'm going to win the race because NickRiddle sucks at Pokemon. I'm kind of the best in the world when it comes to Pokemon~

We're also taking the Genesis 2 Teams Trophy home with us *cough*

No Shaky, you're just the luckiest player I've ever met. Not because you're bad and it makes up for it, but because you're good and it bails you out of trouble.

I'll never forget your Ice Beam from Cuno freezing me at JUST the right time.

Also, I'm like halfway through my Ruby Nuzlocke.

 

[stingers]

i was doing a soul silver nuzlocke for only 6 months, only to lose to lances last pokemon.
the rage.

 

[B.A.M.]
