having trouble vs MK

[edde]

yeah... any tips vs MK?

if you have a single observatipn that could help i would appreciate it, since i pretty much want loads of tips (mainly cause snake is pretty much situational)

my real problems... once im in the air, i can barely get back on ground, any tips to get to the ground fast with a fair distance away from him? he just downsmashes or throws me up and keeps up+bing me/glide attacking me

upb... any move that outprioritizes it?

he grabs a lot, any tip to get away form grabs?

how should i keep him away?

which moves should i do to damage him efficiently long range?

you can say im a newb, pretty much started using snake 2 days ago

I would keep a grenade at hand or at side most of the fight. Just because MK usually bombards with attacks. He will most likely hit the grenades with his fair.

If you think he is going to grab you, shield drop a grenade and have it at hand. I think if they try to grab you, it will explode. Just remember to hold down shield if he grabs you. You don't want to be hit by it too.

Utilt works pretty well against MK's fair. It's hit box and priority are better than MK's fair.

Too keep enough space I would do a short hop into an air dodge to the opposite way MK is. It gives you just enough time to pull a move off.

All I can say about getting to the ground is to fast fall and then use several air dodges because that fair will be spammed. Once you hit the ground, use a side step dodge and roll away. This is what I usually do to get away.

Also, try not to be right on top of him. Keep your space as much as possible. There's not much you can really do about that attack. Assuming when and where he is going to do it will help you out. Just shield drop a grenade and roll away. Maybe he will hit the grenade.

thanks loads for the advice, many hepful strategies there, i think you solevd d most y obles, all i have left to deal with

quoting you: If you think he is going to grab you, shield drop a grenade and have it at hand. I think if they try to grab you, it will explode. Just remember to hold down shield if he grabs you. You don't want to be hit by it too. (my question, how do i avoid getting hit by a greanade if hes grabbin me? why would r(shield) work (assuming im being grabbed)?)


my other problem... he loves glide attack, upb and down smash other than grabbing, they all outspeed and outprioritize me... mainly when im fastfalling he does this, go up and up+b, if i dodge, his glide chases me and hits me most the time since i can barely airdodge again (quick enough)... is there any weakness to MK's glides (other than very predictable)? they have great hitboxes, are fast, do decent damage, HUGE knockback and are easy to land



thanks, that would be it ^^
