what should I be doing in the ditto to get the upper hand?Aerials that intersect too much with a shield are often punishable by up-b. Work on your movement and missile game. I think the neutral game is a lot about wavedash -> jab / tilt, missile cancels, and maybe some aerials used in conjunction with platforms.I just watched those
In dittoes it's even more important to act faster than your opponent as they've got the exact same move set with the same frames. The only difference is the player's reaction.
Practice your actions out of shield as I saw you miss many opportunities to punish. You were either too slow (standing in shield too long) or too fast (rolling).
Never approach with aerials when they're grounded.
Samus should always try to face the stage when recovering to give us the option to grapple recover.
You can dodge missiles with airdodge into grapple recovery when they are shooting low missiles close to the stage.
I think you know Samus can clank missiles with dash attack and immediately punish. (this is useful against reflected missiles too)
Other than that, there's nothing wrong with shielding missiles (or preferably powershield) if you act out of shield fast enough.
Uptilt/dsmash can be good vs non-sweetspotted up-b's though; putting a bomb out there can help prevent him from sweetspotting.
Hmm grabs not so much at all, side step the grabs = free dsmash, whoever nair's first usually loses, and its really not a constant battle of the three. When you have them off the ledge, you dont want to just use homing because a good samus can bomb off the homing missiles and make their recovery even better, I mean WD tilt and dask attacks arent fancy by any means but WD ftilt is good for neutral and knocking away missiles and dash attack for more of a mix up but should be rarely used bro.....
Its not hard at all, the bombs and missiles share the same properties just have to time it right, dont have any vids of me in the ditto i believe where this situation occurred though
Do I have to still provide a video now that plup confirmed...?
the second
booo my word should be enough
Conceptually should have been enough, but sure.
.... exactly what I said bud.... i said you can bomb off missiles... instead of them trying it for themselves, they needed a video or plups endorsement... just go into the game and try it lolololol, or realize that I have posted enough **** to know what I am talking about and that me saying something works is just the same as plup saying something works, players need to get off the riding top players junk syndrome and just think for themselves about the game
This is pretty much the ditto. Don't bother spacing or trying to bait out punishes. Just cook that charge shot and don't move. They will either run off on purpose or run into the charge shot.
Hugely underestimating and oversimplifying the MU.... ok Valar id love to play you sometime, you can even have a charge shot to start off each game
We should play! But I don't think we live close enough to each other to play and my computer is too ****ty to use netplay
