Matchups

[Nutty Sponge]

I have most issues fighting the most.

She's so defensive dude, I can't get to her! It's strange because Shulk is a greatly ranged fighter but I can't seem to get to her. She always counter attacks what I do! I try using anti airs like Utilt a lot because likes to play in the air, but she jumps so high and her side special is bound to hit me lol. I also use fair and nair for this. However, attacking isn't my biggest issue.. it's defense I always get hit by her beefy moves, and she combos me at the middle of the stage to the blast zone so quickly. I don't know what do do? I try switching to Shield in hitstun but I can't rely on it all the time seeing it has a cool down. Does anyone have any tips for this MU? (Its a vs )


I also despise fighting
I always get camped out and projectiles everywhere! Even when I use jump I die when offstage because of the Nikita.


If anyone could give me tips that would be great.

It sounds to me like you are playing too close to Puff. If Shulk has better range than puff then you should keep your distance and use your large aerials to keep her out. Holding center stage and reacting to her drifts is a great way to maintain control of the match without putting yourself at too much risk.

As for Shulk specific tech you can always consult the Shulk discord for positioning advice. They'll have much more specific information about stances then I would.
