Charizard Matchup Discussion - Lucina

[Swamp Sensei]

The princess from the doomed future is here.

She's got experience slaying dragons.

How do we deal?

She's such a...straightforward character, ya know? You can pretty much perfect shield every one of her aerials and punish. Just watch her shield poker and the match is pretty simple. I dunno, I think Lucina is pretty easy.

I mean, most of what we do for Marth applies to Lucina.

It's just that we don't have tippers to worry about.

Watch out for Forward Smash though.

The other difference is that she is more consistent but lack of tippers make her worse for shield pressure.

You mostly do exactly what you do against Marth just with less emphasis on tries to mix up where you are to make him miss his tippers. Lucina Fsmash is really scary so don't get hit by that. Try and make her recover low, you can interrupt her and make recovering hard for her.
