Hello!

[BlowingUpMyGoodEye]

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new to smash, as I've just picked up smash 4 a few weeks ago. I'm unsure of my goals as a player right now, but I certainly wish to improve even if I don't progress past a skill level suitable for local tourneys.

It took a bit of experimentation but I've settled on palutena as far as maining goes. I'm well aware of her status as a low-tier character but her combos, aerials, and smashes(I love up smash reads :D) are so satisfying to land, Also, she's an effing goddess, can it get any better than that?

Fear not! I decided on ZSS as a secondary so I have a high tier character as a backup. I'm awful with her though( I can't even execute up-air up-air up-b consistently) but she's fun enough to justify persevering. I really like falco too, he was my main back when I played brawl casually as a kid and I still think that falco's the coolest.

Is the best way to get better just...playing the game? I have a bit of knowledge and I'm able to execute actions like short hop aerials consistently but certain matchups easily scare and/or overwhelm me(ie olimar, fox, captain falcon, ganon[I know, I know, BUT HE'S SO BIG AND POWERFUL AND SCARY LOOKING], DK, and mario/kirby[uptilt ] for example). Some of them are supposedly in my favor, too.

Anyway, smash is awesome and I'm really glad that there's an awesome community that revolves around it.

Hoi!

Palutena is fun to play imo, her up-smash is crazy strong.

See you around!
