*sigh* i hate this matchup but ok
best things in this matchup are fair and down grab. i say this. m2k says this. spamerer, etc. there really good for spacing and following up (fair).
Down grab is amazing. you set up so well with this. if you have good reaction time THATS EVEN BETTER! Unless the mk DI's towards you. when you down grab a mk at 0 percent its automatic chain grab to another down grab. yes it works. go try it. down grab and run shield at higher percents becuz some mks like to fair as their DI'ing away.
Dair camping to tornado actually works if u space it well. if u dont, theyll be fast enough to up air you so watch out
dont approach with tornado. youll get punished easily by f smash, up b, d smash, etc.
Recover with side b, up b, and tornado. if your off screen (in magnifying glass) tornado back to the stage. if not that far up b. tornados the ebst recovery though imo but dont get predicatble.
hmm..i guess this really is the best move on ground level for the ditto. f tilt. a really annoying move to get hit by. mindgame ur opponent by f tilt canceling to grabs and down smashes.
also remember that every down smash u connect with in this match could be an f tilt and leave ur down smash for the end plz. u dont wana have an mk living too long.
you never want to be above ur opponent so much. being juggled is gay especially if you air dodge and their near you, they can nair or dair, or whatever theyd like. you do this. up air chain to up b at low percents. if they are high up and trying to get down, get under them and up air till they air dodge so u can do whatever you like. i prefer nair.
when you shield an attack, your gonna want to grab, f tilt, or nair out of shield. nair out of shield is the popular one since its so good.
now for meta n00bs. if you know about the invicibility frame thing on the edge to attack skip this paragraph. have u ever wondered watching matches or videos why the mk on the ledge sometimes always hits his attack no matter what he clashes with as soon as he gets off the ledge? well if your quick enough drop the ledge as soon as you grab it and you will retain some invicibility frames from the ledge grab. with this you can quickly do anymove and it will go through ANYTHING. your invincible in this mode. so drop ledge nair, drop ledge dair, up b, etc. an extremely good edgeguarding technique and good thing to know in this matchup and others as well.
up out of shield is one of my favorite things to do and amazing in the ditto. if they are about to glide atack you, ground up b them. youll hit. if they tornado approach you ground up b. same for drill rush and most forms of attack. do not spam it. its a good kiling maneuver.
aerial up b from under the stage facing ur opponent trying to come back is amazing. if they drill rush back, do it. youll get hit by the one hit of the drill rush while they will receive alot of knockback. same with trying to recover with tornado. now if they are trying to recover with gliding be careful. u may hit them but make sure u grab on to a ledge or get on stage after wards. u dont wana kill yourself for being greedy and not patient.
if u face a planking meta knight, get away from the ledge. if your in the losing lead and the host of the tourney allows this, you deserve it for not doing it first. take advantage of everything u get at a tourney. anyways, get away from the ledge and let him come back up. some times charging f smash near but not to near of the ledge is good since they like to jump and air dodge back to stage. just be careful since plankings real gay.
counterpick delfino, pkmn 1, and smashville. ban rainbow. trust me. you dont wana lose a set to a gay stage like that. luck based piece of ****. lol
also pick pink costume.
good luck with this matchup people
