Need Help Against Roommate's Zelda

[Tazraz01]

Hey guys,

I play pikachu, MK, and Toon Link, but I always have trouble with just my neighbors Zelda. This is his basic strategy, but I just cant figure out how to get around it with my characters!!

Annoying Roommates Basic Algorithm:

1) Is target far (A) or close (B)?

If (A): Din's Fire Spam
Is target close now?
No (A) Yes (B)

If (B): Use Smashes
Is target dead? Yes (return to 1) No (return to 1)

pretty much if i stay at range, he Din's fires me forcing me to come in closer, only to have zelda's annoyingly strong forward and U-Smash wreak havoc on me. I cant spam him back with pika because he'll just reflect it, cant approach from the air or i'll just get caught up in a U-Smash chain.

any advice on how to play these kinds of zeldas is appreciated!!

EDIT: I'm asking here because I'm trying to main MK!! :]

Walk in and try to powershield the dins fire as necessary. When you get in range, D-tilt into a grab or w/e else you think you can get away with for 1 trip. Once he's in the air it should be fairly easy for you to take a stock. Just don't stay above him in the air once you reach like..55-65%. Zeldas U-air is hella strong.

dont try to main mk,any1 that trys to main mk past this date 1/1/09 is gona be considered a scrub also isnt gona do good.

That would really depend on player skill BIGM. A point would be like....PC Chris and Cort start playing brawl again tomorrow and both pick up MK. You really think they wouldn't wreck their next tournament?

corts mk was really good. he used red mk

Mind explaining your reasoning?

Really? I thought he only played Snake.

Learn to SDI her smashes, you wont have to take the brutal final hit of them. Stand just outside her smash range and wait. If she uses dins, dash grab or dash attack. If she smashes, punish her lag. If she tries to dash toward you, d-tilt. pretty much just bait and punish.

also if you want to main mk, main mk. do whatever is fun for you

Regardless...If he picked up brawl AGAIN to main MK. I doubt he'd be considered a scrub mk.

i dont like people who switch to mk reacently lol if u played the game for like a year now everyone should of decided their mains and secondary. but obviously people are going to get tired and swtich to mk. oh well

as for vs zelda get her in the air, gimp hardcore and dont fall for the lightening kicks. get under her and up air to nair.

she will wait for u to run into her smashes and glide attack will always be eaten by a upsmash which kills at high 90

ive only played it once or twice but at the time i definitely think it was better than his snake. it might be because i used to play ROB though

Regardless...If he picked up brawl AGAIN to main MK. I doubt he'd be considered a scrub mk.

XD

haha so i tried what you guys were saying, pretty much bait and trap her; lo-and-behold it WORKED!! His zelda is practically rendered useless: if he Din's i just shield dash, D-grab, up-smash and punish while in the air

....MK is FUN haha! I love hearing my roommates and neighbors go "wait WHAT THE F*CK how did that hit me!?" and I just smile gleefully as I shuttle loop their Used-To-Own-Me ***** off the map hahah

 

[DotHack]

Ew...Up Smash? SHNair or U-air chain to shuttle is a better option. >_>

Strange, the Zelda boards now have been rediscussing this matchup. Also everyone there is saying Meta Knight owns Zelda, around 70/30 or so in his favor. lol

i like upair to upair to upair to upair to tornado

ah yeah well, I'm sure he does its just now that I'm playing with MK seriously! :]

And to DotHack, that does sound nice! (The u-air chain to shuttle loop) i'll have to try it on them soon
