Defensive Strategies

[misterOWAIN33]

As good as I'd like to think I am at Brawl, my defensive game needs lots of work. Any defensive tips for: (in this order)

would help. Thanks!

:Ike: - SDI like Mr. Doom
gnw - fire oos and plank
Pit - ledge drop > dj Uair > Glide under stage > WOI to side your opponent can't hit > Repeat
Falco - SH > Laser Laser > IAP > repeat
Wolf - Retreating Bair is safe on shield on most characters
Olimar - throw pikmin until you can fsmash or pivot grab
Sheilda - Read Rev's guide

Thanks. I'm not a competitive player, but this should help me a ton.

As far as Falco goes, his spotdodge is broken and if you're pressured in a corner you can often jab them a bunch then IAP or run out instead of just rolling out, since that's more predictable (though of course you also would be predictable if you only did one thing, but rolling out of a corner is usually a bad idea).
