there.
so i "lurk" alot
for anything useful,and i havent seen these talked about yet
it could possibly go under uses for dtilt but whatevs

1st:
so i was at a smashfest this week
and when i play i usually do jab to grab and it works about 80% of the time
but i got tired of that and started mixing up my game
when they are shielding i jab,down tilt, jab ,down tilt so on and so on
they both shrink the shield enough for the dtilt to hit the feet while they are shielding
and the dtilt pushes them out of range of shield grabbing you but keeps them in range of the hit box
it usually hits after the second or third down tilt
i only tried it on fox marth and snake
dont over use it because all three players caught on over time


2nd:
all marths up b after the second grab or even the first attempt of the chain grab
so here are some things i do against a marth
down throw,walk,grab,down throw,walk shield their up b and follow up with another grab or charged smash or whatever you please
if they catch on and dont up b just grab them and down throw again
theyll eventually catch onto that so theyll fair
if they fair dash in the opposite direction then dash towards them and grab again
it all works for me and led me from getting two stocked to three nearly three stocking the marth
but once again dont over use it or theyll figure out another way around it

I Jab (cancel) > Dtilt occasionally

It is a very situational move, but I like where it puts the opponent after it hits.
this is like the 5th time I've mentioned this too, so the 1st time was waaaaaayyyyyy back.
(I jacked the idea from sheiks who like to Ftilt > Dtilt)

And anybody here will tell you the other one has long since been known and practiced

Q&A thread next time
