How would you efficiently beat someone if they spam moves?

[yumyumyum77]

When i brawl my friend we usually play with random characters that way i don't beat him up all the time with Olimar. When playing with some characters i find it hard to get around some annoying spamming moves. For example, when my friend spams B with Pit i end up getting damaged to nearly 80 % during a whole match before i can kill him. Any advice ?

I find short-hop-air-dodging as you get closer helps.

It depends on your character quite a bit; space animals have reflectors to punish projectile-spam, g&w has the mighty bucket. If a MK spams tornado a projectile such as Wolf's and Falco's can get him out of it; cpt. falcon is just quite screwed. But if i play some1 like Olimar vs a spamming pit, best to do is approach while shielding every hit, and/or jump. Finally, if you're feeling tough, take all hits because you cant be ***** to protect yourself, then own him when he stops. I used to that quite a bit xD(opposition has to be a worse player than you tho)

Run -> perfect shield -> run -> perfect shield ect, ect.

Run -> perfect shield -> run -> perfect shield ect, ect.

And then combine Short hop ADs like Mic said and you'll be good for projectile spam. Perfect Shielding projectiles is really easy, especially since the shield cancels your dash, so from there you could dash again and PS or short hop AD over there.

Projectile spam can get really annoying though.

spamming them might be a good one

in all seriousness, don't let them start spamming you, hit them first, and combo, or evade as previous posts mentioned

Pretty much everything that can be spammed has a counter. Spam the counter.

since your olimar, your best thing to do is perfect shield - run and repeat, throw pikmin so that he gets hit and stops shooting so u approach him, d-tilt and own him. a spam that i found hard to counter with olimar is GnW's parachute-Key combo and if broken, spammed d-smash

Go airborne, so he either has a harder time aiming the arrow at you or he has to jump in the air to hit you

You have several options

Mr. GW's bucket for energy projectile spam
-Pit arrows
-Pikachu Thunder

The Star Fox characters reflectors for any thrown projectile
-any projectile

Comboing with short hop, as already told

Spam them back

I main Sonic, usually, so either they're too slow and I can outrun it and come up with something to do (provided the stage lets me), or some alternatives, such as perfect shielding, or witty comments.

Other general stuff:
-Perfect Sheild
-Dodge
-Do a barrel roll

Vs. Fox's laser spam, assuming you're not Ganondorf, you can probably run at them or something.

 

[BOP!]

If they are spamming projectiles I suggest getting closer and staying their and if there are spamming a closer attack figure out how to dodge and leave them open to your own attack, or you could find something that has a better range than what your opponent i using.

 

[Failtastic]

If it's a projectile, I wait until I can find a decent gap to try an work my way closer, or just reflect.
Close range attacks are a bit more tricky, though. I'll probably just dodge out of it, or counter.
