Rango the Mercenary
The Mercenary
Was taking on a Pit and Greninja player at a tournament yesterday. First round, he kills me with foot-stool. Second round I win, and third round, he pulls out Greninja. I'm bodying his Greninja and I'm only a Smash or two away. He finally gets me to my last stock, and around 30% or so, he knocks me off the edge and Bairs me to death. Like, not even just gimping, but red lightning streak into a kill just by edgeguarding me so far off stage. And keep in mind he was taking a LOT of punishment.
For friendlies after the tournament, I faced a Captain Falcon who placed Top 5 out of the 67 that were there. In both sets, he bair-spiked me into the stage for an early kill.
I have serious problems recovering with Ike. I'm slowly learning to not use my double jump immediately into Side B, That's part of what's gotten me killed by Rosalinas in the past, as well as the Greninja player last night. But it's hard to evade someone in the air when they come after you for the gimping kill. The CF player just simply took me off stage with a few quick attacks, and as I went for Aether, landed with Bair to kill me as he read my recovery.
What are my options for getting back on-stage without risking getting killed early?
