Do any of you have this particular problem I have with Ivysaur?

[LavisFiend]

Many times, when I do the rapid tentacle whip move (hold A) it "sticks" once you let go and he keeps doing it for 2-3 seconds?

Is this normal?

Maybe not 2-3 seconds, but yes, it continues for awhile. It's just finishing the animation. Not much you can do about it, really.

If it starts to do the fast jabbing... let go of A and hold shield. The shield will come out as soon as it is able. That is the best advice to offer.. i have been caught by this same thing.

There is an initial jab animation before the rapid jabs, try to limit it to that...

I have a problem with that too. I pretty much never use the jab unless it's an accident because of it...the forward tilt seems way better in pretty much every situation. The most important thing is to not try to attack again until it stops. If you stop hitting A and then use the C-stick to try and do a smash attack as soon as possible, it won't work and will just extend the duration of the jab even more.

Neutral A can be used when they are off stage, just hold A simliar to squirtles jab, or charizard's D-tilt.
