Well I don't use ZSS very often, but sometimes I'll break her out because she's kind of fun to play with. However, I have a problem that occurs sometimes where I'll use her side B and it will go right through the other person, even if we're both standing on the stage, usually while they're doing some attack, or just afterwards when one could normally punish. Does it just not stop if it gets out prioritized or does it just glitch from time to time? Does this ever happen to any of y'all?

Both Plasma Whip and dash grab have these weird dead zones in the middle of the whip. I can't tell if they're intentional or not, but either way, they're just something you have to be aware of when spacing them.

Hitbox on the gun barrel, and hitbox on the large globe at the end of the whip. The whip effects in the middle are just for show. Learn to space it properly.

Just learn to space it the right way...I tend to short hop with it and slightly jump backwards to stop approaches. Like already mentioned, learn the hit boxes and get the spacing down.

Your doing it wrong!!! It has a weird hitbox that you need to memorize and apply correctly through spacing.


Space it properly and with practice youll get better.
