Pivot F-tilt Problems

[Zog]

Hey everyone, I am having some trouble using Ike's pivot f-tilt. Usually what happens is that I will perform a forward smash instead of the tilt. When I switched the c-stick to Attack i perform a dash attack instead 90% of the time. What is the easiest way to perform this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You just got to work a bit on the timing. F-Smash means you're pressing A too quick after the pivot, just add a very slight pause between the pivot and the attack input.

Thanks for the reply. Lately I have been doing it pretty successfully.

What helped me get it down a little better was practicing my dash dancing, as the attack button needs to be hit while the turning animation is going. The dash dancing let me get a feel for how long the turning animation was, which let me feel the idea time to both work on my f-tilts but also pivot grabs.
