How to work with zard in customs off?

[Pippin (Peregrin Took)]

So I really enjoy playing with Charizard/Lizardon in both metas but I find it very easy to lean too much on dragon rush because I don't rack up damage and rock hurl because of frame 1 super armor. Any tips on how to revert back when playing for glory and customs off tourneys (sadly it looks like it's becoming the norm)?

I do have to say that with my main Dark Pit I overuse electroshock glove so I enjoy having flare blitz to help me conserve.

I only switched to rock hurl personally so I don't have that same problem, I used flare blitz more for the option to kill people when they extend just a tad out or make a bad move.

Zard is a pretty decent character now, so you can definitely make it work. It's just that your side B goes from fabulous aerial repositioning tool, unpunishable close up option in certain matchups/situations, and dangerous gimping/edge punish to a slightly better recovery and really good punish for mess ups. But at really high levels, you are going to get very few free Blitz opportunities, I think.
