Since no one f---in' answers me in Scar's thread, might as well try posting my own thread.

OK, I really have a lot of trouble vs. Space Animals.
How should I approach one if

(this includes both Fox and Falco)
A. They're spamming laser
B. They're SHFFL'ing
C. They're DD'ing.

And I have no f---in' clue on what do to vs. drills and shines.

Please help!

You really shouldn't approach at all, but camp aggressively.

But

A. You can Raptor Boost under high lasers, and SH Nair over low ones, from Falco anyhow.

B. Try DDing away from the aerial, and coming back when they land.

C. You can overshoot Nair and try to hit them when they run away.

They can beat all of this though, so it's not perfect advice.

Just my thoughts.

cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
If they're lazer spamming, approaching with nair tends to be your best option. Really what you're looking for in your approach is a grab, and nair sets that up. Of course, raptor boost is an alternate descision, but generally more punishable, so nair is good.

Aerial spams can be sg'd, but not all the time. They will shine you if the opertunity presents itself, so don't count on landing lag. Instead, start your sg when they are still in the air. Otherwise, I might dd-raptor boost, but that's risky, yet yeilds great results if done successfully.

IF they're dding, dd right back. Approaches vs spacies are never a good idea, the only time you should approach is when they're forcing you to, and even then I think it's a good idea to feint them and punish.

A. Falco's laser game sh nair over low lasers, sideB under high lasers.

B. Even a SHFFLed aerial has lag, it's just low. Try to punish them in this lag.

C. Position yourself well.
This. You can also try powershielding a laser. It often puts people off their game somehow.
But yeah, generally its just waiting for some lag or an opportunity to get off a nair.

I've found that the best way to fight falco is to try to kill him before he kills you. If you try to camp too hard you are just gonna get ***** XD
