Is That All? - The ZSS Playbook, Vol. 3

[Take 5]

Some say the general level of play on For Glory is improving. Here is my rebuttal.

P.S. I still love you, Falcon mains.

I really love your combo videos! They inspire me to take my own ZSS up a notch. I sadly do not have the Wii U version. Are there any tips you can give to someone who uses the 3DS Version? Button wise and such?

Thanks! I haven't played the 3DS version in a while, but I used the standard button layout. You can check out my written guide for playstyle tips: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T83KQYg53wQMgVFhe99fmlvE55JuGLeatDqHkXXYEqY/edit?pli=1

(I wouldn't bother with perfect pivoting, since the 3DS circle pad is hard to work with.)

Thanks! And yes, that's what happens when you're overly aggressive... but that's how I feel Smash should be played

Yeah, I tried pivoting but gave up on it. I'll give the guide a through read. Is it possible to do the u-air -> u-air -> u-B on the 3DS?

Sure is!

Sure is!

Is there an easy button mapping to do it or is it just timing?

Cool, thanks for writing that up, I just skimmed it in 2 minutes, I'll read it in a bit
perfect pivoting is a **** on 3ds, even if you manage to, you cant immediately act out of it either
thanks :]

Timing's the main issue--practice the timing of your second jump after the first u-air so the combo strings smoothly (double jumping just a little bit early/late will mess up the combo).

Edit: Also make sure to follow your opponent's DI/trajectory throughout the u-airs, like at 2:59 in the above video.

As an aside, since ZSS is so timing/spacing dependent in general, even micro-lag makes online play unbearable at times >_<
