Platforms, they scare me.

What are my options from platforms? My training partner, a falco main has finally started to work his laser pressure up to scratch. I want to stay out of his lane and work the platform game a little bit but I feel extremely vulnerable dropping through platforms.

My primary advice is to focus on learning to light shield and wavedash out of shield rather than learning platform games.

However, wave landing around on platforms can be very useful. The hard part is picking your opportune attack timing.

I love to use wavelanding on platforms. Chain Grabbing is amazing on ledges when using dash attack cancel grabs, especially against Fox!

Also, use shields and Shield Grabbing
