Help vs. Duck Hunt Dog? (and help with projectile spam in general)

[EpicFlyingTaco]

So earlier I was playing a Duck Hunt, and getting my butt handed to. Honestly, he didn't even seem like he was that good, it was just me sucking. The thing is, he was sitting back and spamming projectiles.
It's not even just Duck Hunt, its every character with a projectile across all smash games. Projectile spam is my weakness and I need help with it. Also, some advice vs Duck Hunt would be nice. (my god I hate playing against him)

It's easy to just jump over it then Dair them, Or just air dodge.

Out prioritize I'd with an auto cancel aerial.
Fake a commitment by jumping as if attacking but halt, they'll probably shield hoping for a grab.

Who do you use?

Since I play swordies with disjointed hitboxes I just fair/nair the projectiles when moving forward. Either destroys or sends them back (eat your heart out DDD). Could always just take to the air, unless you're Little Mac, in which case there's not a whole lot you can do but hope they screw up their spacing.

There's plenty of things you can do in that situation:

1. Walk/run towards them and shield constantly. Don't go all the way up to them as that's what they want you to do. They'll either grab, use a smash attack, or roll towards you. Predict, and react accordingly.

2. Reflect the move back at them. Fox, Falco, Rob, and Ness (may be missing some) can easily hit it back towards them.

3. Constantly hop over the projectile. But same as the walk/run method, don't go all the way up to them.

4. Simply block/spot dodge, and advance.

5. Counter it if you play something with a counter.

6. If you have projectiles that beats theirs, use it and force them to approach.

I fought a great DHD player, but once I got close to them, I easily racked up damage and K.O'd them. It also depends on who you use. That could kind of help us.

Who do you use?

I just play random characters for now, but I'm really liking Peach, Kirby, Jiggs, Ganon, Megaman, and G&W. Knowing myself I'm probably not going to pick a main until like 6 months from now and even then I'm probably going to wan't to change my main withing another month because I had taken interest in another character like I always do.

Thanks, I'll definitely try this stuff out.

Use someone with some super armor. Or with reflections.
