Study characters' options and the counterplay around them. If airdodging is the option you use to counterplay whatever strategy, then you airdodge.
It has mostly to do with timing. Depending on your timing of the Pivot->Grab you might get a tilt or a grab. At least that's what I think, I haven't looked too much into that. Others might know a little mote.
i was thinking the same im going to try that
i see a couple of them, the didnt aport much help in my rolling habit but they help me in my SH bair and then getting grabbed, thanks!
In Training Mode, pick Marth or Lucina, and practice any guaranteed combos (check the Marth/Lucina boards for this. From what I know they're very good at keeping data for this) and just get used to your character. Practice with movement, and just let yourself become one with your character. For many newcomers, especially when I first started playing competitively, a lot of people neglect this part of the stage and just go in swinging, then can't figure out why they've lost. In general, training mode is used to learn what works and what doesn't with your character.
Tap Jump ONWhat are the Pros and Cons to keeping tap jump on or off?
Hi everyone! I'm new to the Smash Bros universe. I've never played melee and only played brawl maybe an hour or 2 every year. Smash 4 on Wii U is my first smash game that Ive strived to become good at. I've watched many tournament videos and character tutorials that have me heading in a good start.
That being said, back to the title question, what are the pros and cons to keeping tap jump on. I have it on right now but I almost never can use up tilts because of it. But I hear some pros are for tap jump so just want all the details. Thanks!
PS: I use a Wii U pro controller if that changes anything
Smash Stick is pretty weird (and dumb) in this game.
It's probably because the difference isn't all that noticeable. There's another character who does this as well: Samus.
Thank you and I also figured it out today!
Regular DI changes the direction and distance you will travel when hit and can be performed by holding a direction on the control stick during the freeze frames or hitlag of an attack (think of when Falcon's knee sweet spots and the characters both are stuck momentarily) or just after. You can DI in any direction and for a number of purposes, but on the most basic level, it's used to survive hits that would normally KO you if you didn't adjust your trajectory.
Some good things I can give pointers to:
I agree. The neutral game is very important learing to bait and and have options after your offense is very important. Also you have more options out of shield now. So you don't always have to jump or roll. Especially when you power shield.
But you should approach when the momentum is in your favor
didn't say to do it predictably, I said to do it more than he does in melee.
Sure, but it's not really what someone should practice as much as getting good reads on your opponent.
the bolded is extremely important. I would also recommend you learn this.
This is partially true. If you're in the lead, you can stick to safer options to keep the damage difference. That being said, if you're gonna not forcibly approach at least zone the opponent big time.
I think Diddy's jab is meant to be horrible, it's not meant to knock them down or something.
