So, has anyone tested ZSS yet? I haven't really noticed anything. It does seem like she has slightly less friction (longer wavedashes and moonwalks), but I'm not sure. I haven't played her that much in 2.5b lately.

Her throws are great now. I can't remember if the back side of her Uair sent people backwards, like Ganon's Uair, but it does.

I think you guys found all the changes. Air control for up B, d/u throw improvements, better KB on dash attack, and the ability to footstool like a normal character again, but not on stunned opponents.

I'm really anxious to see what people can do with these new grabs. They open up a lot of possibilities for her against a huge portion of the cast.

So my friend and I played around a lot with 2.6 yesterday, and I noticed that I struggle a lot vs Sheilda.

Any general tips for that matchup? Sheik is the biggest issue for me. I can deal with Zelda OK.

Maybe I'm just scrubby but I still have problems KOing with ZSS.

She has moves that kill but only fsmash is especially good at it.

BTW, either I only noticed for the first time after patching Project M or it's new/much easier in 2.6, but down-b can wall-hop which has saved my life a few times, lol.

D-smash is technically another kill move from getting F-smash out of it lol. You guys never made a good guide of when to D-smash twice on someone and what to do after it and stuff, hopefully enough people join the skype group and I can make a public Twitch/Podcast of the call to find this out

ZSS also has a super stronk edgeguard game, so KO moves aren't necessarily a must-have.

If nothing else, she can rely on bair over, like, 170%.

I was thinking 150%, actually, but I didn't want SFP to ***** and moan that, no, bair is a terrible KO move because reasons, so I overshot my own estimations.

I don't really pay attention to percent over 100%. Once I see three digits, I just start fishing for bairs and try to get my KOs off edgeguards.

I'm only being slightly serious.

I just opened training mode, bair'd DK from the center at 135%, DI'd with the other controller, and not only did he not die, he didn't even really come close. what?

Also, ph00t, whether or not you believe with me or my criticisms are founded, I'm definitely not "******** and moaning" and I'll be perfectly happy if nothing is changed and continue to play ZSS. But I don't think she'll be very good in the grand scheme of things.

DK is one of the easiest characters to edgeguard as ZSS. Even if it doesn't kill, it means inevitable death. I don't know when you just hit with a raw move in the middle of the stage with no setup and expect it to kill though. I never have problems killing DK at that percent because it's usually in an edgeguard or a setup towards the edges of stages.

Yo I've been playing a bunch of ZSS lately, I'm pretty sure Sheik is an awful match up for her :c It feels like 6-4 honestly. Sheik's needles are amazing for edge guarding her as well as interrupting her movement/ laser setups. Ftlit is also like, the bane of ZSS. It negates ZSS's approach most of the time, since ftilt rise from the bottom. Then I have like, tilts left, which usually get CCed. Grabs are risky as well. I don't know what to do in the matchup, but I find it amazing to play that matchup on platform stages like Dreamland and Dracula's Castle where I can take time and space to set up my offense, as opposed to FD and Metal Cavern are awful for the matchup(and yoshis). What do you guys think?

I'll join the skype too. Messaged you my skype, Oro?!

People still using excessive blasters these days?
Still not a fan of the projectile game... and use it as a tool for presence at most. Meaning, throwing it out once in a while to establish I WILL use it, but hold off on actually using it to simply take what mental advantage of presence it gives while primarily simply falling back to DD Grab/D-Tilt/Aerials instead. Same goes for Side-B too.
I don't get how Blaster + Side-B are supposed to be BnB to ZSS's game, though last I checked, it was the norm...
Is it still the norm?

+ Anyone getting 50% of their kills with DIVEKIKU yet?
