I BAir to grab alot on floaties at low percents, it has to pop them up slightly off the ground, even on puff u can grab her out the air like that without fear of crouching, if they CC'd spam another shffl. i also do alot of aerial then run up and shield and wait for a sidestep to grab. grab combos **** too much not to look for grabs at all, do it intelligently, like when its unavoidable (out the air, wait for sidesteps, call rolls)
im good against puff and peach, never had trouble with those characters, i still never took a set off vidjo though.
i use needles when the platform spacing is right to jump up there but i dont stay up there trying to force it or its really predictable and leaves u vulnerable
