Hey guys, I'm Fresh Die Nasty, I'm not ranked in FL but I'm the former #2 ranked Brawl player in FL. I used to compete with people like Nick Riddle, ESAM, and Ryo back before Smash 4 came out. I work a full time job now so I don't travel and compete at tournaments like they do, but I come from a similar background of experience. I main Sheik and have lots of good wins on top FL players but I'm kinda out of the spotlight since I don't travel.
I have a lot of fun with Palutena since she has a very Melee characterish feel and wanted to get some tips/critique. In general I know I need to use more retreating Fastfall bair at neutral, as well as more pivot tilts/Fsmash. Also I think RAR bair combos from Dthrow at some percents so I should def use that more.

Thoughts:
I think Auto Reticle is SUPER underrated. I don't think this is a useless move at all. I think if you hard read/predict people at long range you can tack on a lot of damage. Vs characters like Didd you can use it when you predict a banana pull (a lot of Diddy players will throw you away, retreat and pull a banana). A lot of characters also short hop a lot at neutral, and if you auto reticle right as they're rising, they have to either double jump or airdodge to avoid it.
Does Nair true combo from Dthrow if people also DI out? I find that I'm almost never able to combo dthrow into Uair or Nair unless people have bad DI.
If they would buff Ftilt and Dtilt, give them either more shieldstun or more cooldown I think they'd be great moves. I also think Ftilt should hit a little higher.

Anyway thanks for checking out my matches, any comments are appreciated
