Do you play campy or aggro?

I need to start camping again. I started to tune my game to be more aggressive since people were constantly saying it would be better, and it has turned out to be pretty bad. Now it's tough to get back out of that habit.

Who told you that lol? I think even az, the most aggro diddy would admit that camping is better. He just says its boring haha.

Campy is good against most characters except for some other campy characters. Waiting for an approach can let you hit them with a nanner and then follow up with it.

I hate Olimars... Thanks for the tip[ Ingulit. His pikmin are so annoying, you sometimes just have to eat the damage to get in.

falling fairs are easily shield grabbed though, I like to camp if I get the lead by z dropping bananas and recatching them with nairs to stop the pikmin

Start off strong with bananas and follow-ups. If they are far then you can peanut camp against Olimar, but the Pikmin are super annoying.

Yeah....falling fair is way too dangerous against oli....you have to treat getting grabbed vs oli almost like its the ic....not that much but its still awful. I actually play kinda aggro against oli, but I use P1's strat too. One of the few matchups I go aggro in.

It really depends on 2 things:
1)the player
2)the character

I usually try to find the balance in game, but it shifts more one way/the other depending upon the 2 mentioned things before. I see my playstyle as "Patient Aggro"

I get aggressive when I get the chance to. I camp when I can also. Sometimes I just wait for something to happen, and then go super aggressive. I like having two super different play styles to keep my opponents on their toes.

I depends on what character I play against and whether or not the opponent plays campy. If my opponent plays very campy, then I will try to beat him at his own game. I am comfortable playing against any aggressive opponents. The only character I will always play super campy against is G&W
