Duck Hunt: How do you deal with him?

[Duzzzyy]

What's your best option for approach? My current best bet is to wait for a chili can to be in the air or whiffed, then dash in for a quick strike and try and keep him pressured, but this mostly leads to an easy read and punish.
Also tried areal charged paralyzer to some success, but too easily punished.

So, how do I?

Down B is how i do it. Frequently.
literally once i figure out the DHD's pattern of zoning/attack down B is how i approach moast of the time. doesn't always leave me in advantageous positions but its extremely effective for avoiding his projectile. especially when the chill can is out. i never do it the same every time either. sometimes i try to bury, sometimes i try to punish, land infront/behind etc.

Side B is really effective as well, a short hop side B can reflect chili can and knock DHD away, or trap in block stun while the can explodes on his face. occasionally i've gotten shield breaks doing that.

You just have to find any vulnerability in DHD's game and exploit it safely.
Remember can is frame 6 and can interrupt combos, and that his up-b has no hitbox.
