Looking to pick up this character.

[EarthBound18]

I really enjoy Greninja's playstyle but I find it hard to apply the combos and moves he can do. I have bad character control with him he seems to jump to high for my tastes. Any tips, videos on how to do well with Greninja would be cool.

Greninja can be a bit hard to control because his overall mobility is the bomb. He's got the 2nd highest jump, yet is one of the fastest fallers. Great aerial mobility, super fast dash and walk, etc. I don't think any video or guide can help master his mobility, that takes time and practice. Go hop around in training mode to get a feel for it.

He is definitely a "practice makes perfect" character, where you really just have to get experience with his movement/aerial speed in order to be able to use them well.

I would also say, for optimal results, remember he is a ninja, not a bruiser, and he performs better when used as one. Use hit-and-run tactics, be elusive and annoying, and wait for your opponent to get impatient and make mistakes, then go in for the kill ^_^

He is a crazy fun character with tons of possibilities! I wish you luck. Let us know if we can help you learn his ways ^_^
