What do you like after a parry?

The forward hitbox situation leaves many characters out of the reach of most of her ground attacks. I've been just defaulting to b-air, but I'd love some outside input.

I'll let you know when I finally pull off a parry intentionally. Having enough time to pull off a b-air would require some flawless prediction.

But seriously, if a grounded opponent is out of side-tilt range, and you don't think a running grab will connect, try a standing dash attack. In Ultimate you can flick the control stick and a tilt stick in the same direction to immediately perform a dash attack. Not a single frame of running will precede it, which I think is improved (or at least more consistent) than in Smash 4. And not a bad option for our buffed Trainers.

I have rarely parried and not been able to follow up with a tilt (except for swordies). I just hold my tilt stick over for an Ftilt. Sometimes I panic and throw out an Fsmash, which usually connects regardless (at least for now while people aren't used to parries). If I parry a sword I will dash attack.

I've only successfully parried and then been in range to punish like 10 times. Most of the time it's just projectiles.

F-tilt or u-tilt for me usually if they’re close. If they’re far away and are recovering from lag or whatnot, then a Deep Breathing or try to charge a Sun Salutation if applicable.

Sometimes I try to get an advantage for the neutral but that never really works.

For me, anyway.
