Hello gents,
So this is a mini rant/advice thread concerning the bayonetta and Shulk match-up.
Why is this match-up problematic? Most of you know, but I'm going to let off a little steam and rant a bit.
1) All of her combo starters are very quick, Side-B is basically a faster, less punishable falcon kick, which guarantees an easy 40-50% damage from a mediocre bayonetta and an instant KO from a good player a good portion of the time. (At literally any percentage.)
2) She has a gimp (bullets) and a meteor smash (DSmash) which require no precision, little skill and has no risk to her.
3) All her moves have fox lasers attached.
4) She can infinite Fair you to death.
5) Outside of her Smashes her moves are extremely hard to punish. Hell just trying to punish a whiffed move gets you witch-timed.
6) She has no problem KOing unlike Shiek.
7) Her Witch-time has a very fast start-up, even if you delay your hits, she gets bats within. And Witch time last TOO DAMN LONG. It's basically a better version of any characters Counter.
8) If you try to play defensive, she can just poke you to death from afar
9) One of her easy bake combos equals to several of shulk's attacks, so you are generally losing the damage race.
TL;DR: I am in need of desperate assistance dealing with this match-up. Like how useful each monado is in the match-up and how to deal with her combo spam. Side-B seems really hard to deal with as they follow up with the cartwheel and become really hard to punish at that point.
