Bad spacing

[balladechina212]

If I space an aerial poorly (say a nair or a fair right into someone's shield), I can fast fall, L-cancel, and immediately side step. How effective is this strategy in dodging shield grabs?

 

[Aesir]

not every effective since they can wait for you to spot dodge, and grab you anyway.

So you're saying it won't work if they read my actions?
Well, what if the people I play with can't read me well? My question is whether or not it'll even work. In other words, if they shield grab at the right time, can I even spot dodge before I get grabbed?

 

[Aesir]

and if you keep doing it, they'll catch on.

yes, if the attack ends as you hit the ground..............


f-air is the best example..................

you can sh and f-air as you fast fall......

that way, the lagg from the attack on the shield will keep them stunned long enough for you to sidestep.

this only works if your still doing the attack when you hit the ground ( if you are still hitting thier shild ,causing lagg, as you hit the ground) this lagg gives you time to sidestep


pretty sure about this one...........

This is exactly why good spacing is a must for a competitive Marth.

Marth's side step takes too long. I usually just run through them, they grab, then I turn around and grab them. I'm pretty sure that works as long as it's an aerial that is shffled properly.

Well if your spacing is bad for your aerials correct it. Shield grabbing wont be a problem if u space your atks correctly. Good spacing is a "must have" for marth if you want to even try to compete in tourny play.
