I got questions for Mango or anyone who can answer these:
1. How can you approach a Sheik who needle spams? I still seem to be having problems with the approach. Should I be patient and hang back, or slowly inch toward the other player?
2. For Marth, would it be better to be in his face most of the time, or would it be better to hang back and space attacks?
3. Space animals, besides how much they suck at recovery and how easily they are gimpable in the air, how do you deal with laser spamming? Also, what options do I have when I'm being bombarded by a space animal's shine?
Against Shiek, I know you can duck while underneath a platform. If you're in the right spot and ducking, needles will either pass over you or be blocked by the platform. If you do this then you can camp just as long as Shiek, as her projectile can't hit you anymore. I guess this doesn't quite answer your question, but it is possible to try and wait it out, which is what I prefer.
Again, I personally like waiting for Marth to approach me, because if you can lure a fsmash or dsmash and shield it, then you get a free attack, possibly a rest! At the same time, you can't let him space his attacks right, because then you'll never get an opening.
I'm not very experienced with laser spamming space animals, but maybe try to avoid those that you can and get close enough to pressure them into stopping? As for shines, if they like drill shining, a roll can get you away, or maybe WD back out of shield. If I've learned one thing, it's that you can't just sit there and hope to get a shield grab, haha.
I'm no pro, so take what you want from this. Also, Puffball, you're going to FS2, right? It'll be cool to meet some other Jiggs players.
