What is the best way for a fox to pressure peach after catching a zombie (stichface) turnip? (I know peach likes to groundfloat aerials as pressure when she has one).

Don't catch any of the turnips except the stichface one. She will more than likely be on her guard after you caught it, so try and take her by surprise. The only problem is that you can't grab, shffl, smash, or do any attack with A at all, so don't wait to long. I suggest just reflecting it, it'll waste your time if you have it too long.

^Pretty much sums up a good handling of the situation...

Mew2King also does a very good job with Vidjo's turnips in his set with him at FC6:

Match 1
Match 2
Match 3

I also play my friend who mains Peach all the time. Sometimes I'll catch his turnip, throw it back at him, and follow it up with a nair --> up-smash. It works at the right percents. Fox Turnip Combos ftw! :)

You make too many threads, scotu.

Anyways, I just try to avoid the turnips altogether, unless I'm camping with lasers or something. As long as I know for sure I can jump up and catch the turnip without being slapped I'll go for it.

I usually catch the turnips And throw it back at her when she is open, sometimes when i am camping lasers to, after I throw the turnip back at peach i go for a move such as upsmash, or neutral air it usually works if u not playing a really smart peach who just throw turnips and not use them to mindgame^^

Uh... There really isn't such a thing as a not smart peach that constitutes much of a threat to my fox. When has anyone seen a competitive peach that doesn't use mindgames when they turnip?

Sorry for double post (check the dates if it bothers you).

What are the mechanics of the air dodge turnip catch btw? is it like air dodge, immediately press z? or can you catch it during any part of the air dodge? or what? I believe it's w/ z, you can't do it with just r+a can you? Thanks in advance for clarification.

well, u got lasers and the zombie turnip so, i think u can just shortjump shoot her with lasers an try to waste her shield and then throw the turnip, buuut, i never catch it, because i can punish her after shining the turnip, she will dodge it and then i just grab her and punish or something like that, thats my oppinion.

actually, shining it doesn't always cut it, while doubling the damage, the peach i play is very good at catching turnips, i was more wondering how to use the fact that i'm *holding* one to my advantage, rather than actually try to hit her w/ it.
