Smash Ace
I think that every opportunity to land a KO rest should be taken, the sole exception being if other non-rest methods also guarantee an immediate stock (mainly thinking of fsmash)--not because of the potential stock trade, but because staled rest is significantly nerfed in its killing power. Even then, the time it takes you to evaluate that could mean you lose the opportunity. It's just so hard to land rests in general that maneuvering to land them far from the opponent's spawn point is not practical, and you kind of need to outplay your opponent to control the stage that well in the first place.So we should always be trying to play on the side of the stage farthest away from the opponents respawn point, right?
Also, today I got sweet, sweet revenge (a 3-stock and a 4-stock) on a Fox who 2- and 3-stocked me a month ago. Don't have vids of either encounter, but I guess my basic spacing/patience/punishing shields increases when I am salty? It's possible the crown played a role too.
Also also, I propose sodium fluoride as the official salt of Puff mains for those strong basics and phenolphthalein the official indicator for that pinkish glow, because all MUs get PWNed by **** they don't understand and can't pronounce.
