When I play characters with good movement, like falcon fox marth sheik, I have a lot of trouble approaching. I know I have to use my DD to play sort of a bait and punish, but often I don't create an optimal situation for myself. This could be due to my not so strong DD.
I use nair to approach a lot, which works, but it gets very predictable and I am the one often getting baited or just going in at a poor time.
Here are some things I think I do wrong: It's possible I am relying on nair too much as an approach and don't always realize I have other things like D-tilt. My DD has a sort of predictable rhythm that doesn't vary too much as the game/set goes on. My platform movement isn't superb, I think I should be using platforms to bait but it's hard to punish from that position and I end up getting hit.
Are there any tips you guys can think of to help me approach faster characters? I know this is an abstract question and also has match up specific answers. What are your general thoughts on approaching and baiting in the neutral game?
