That sounds great. If we can manage to get a close joblock setup that allow us to land a grab or a smash, that would make landing kills much easier.
i can beat most level 9 cpu characters with Palutena and for online i have a 17-8 (w-l and two games weren't finished) record when using her as of now..
when you can beat other competitive players at more or less the rate your matchup against their character would dictate.
How are you approaching neutral situations, as well as when you're at disadvantage (People pressuring you)? I'm struggling with those two things. If I can get an offense going I can keep it but it's getting to that point that's the problem.
I'm aggressive with Palutena. Super speed is a good move to rush down on the opponent. It can combo into up-smash and kill at high percents depending on DI. SS to nair works quite well too. D-grab combos are good. D-grab>f-air works you can even D-grab>f-air>f-air>jab>d-grab and back to the beginning again or up smash. Its possible to escape but it depends if they jump or not. Lightweight is excellent for chasing high percent opponents off stage. d-grab to u-air combos and kills most at around 120 I believe. f-tilt eats up rollers. u-tilt eats up an over-head approach. her tilts are a bit laggy though. Her jab is quick. Jab>grab works. D-air spikes.
My approach is just using autoredicle to force my opponents to come to me. My goal is to get them to come to me so I can punish their whiffed grabs and blocked dash attacks. When you're being pressured you have a few tools. If you are in the air use Nair to cover both sides or counter, then you have her fair which is very use full to push your opponent away, and you also have teleport. Choose and pick your spots in which you can use teleport. Its a quick way to get out.
that right there is what I do and it does real well for palutena. btw if anyone wants to watch im about to do a 1v1 on stream possibly after this current match. http://www.twitch.tv/keyurai
It's the best feeling doing that. I also KO'd a Rosaluma who charged up the Luma attack. That was funny too.
I feel there's a general lack of organized moveset discussion going on in the Palutena board when compared to other boards so I tried to give the discussion a bit of a shove in that thread, as it's already stickied. 
Will check it out now. Thanks.I just did an analysis on Palutena's moveset in Aerodrome's thread. Feel free to chime in with your opinions and how you use the moves.
Hahaha wow, that is a pretty good find, though I think the speed of the move as well as their nature won't change too much about them. Most players will already anticipate where the opponent will up-b towards, and if they don't the move is fast enough they won't be able to respond fast enough unless you're up-b'ing to unsafe places. Shouldn't be too major..
