Safe falling ?

[Z1GMA]

It doesn't matter what I do!
When I'm falling down to my opponent I either air dodge, Nayuros, Teleport or nair..
Zeldas lag sets me up for smashes, even after air dodging towards the ground.. ugh!
Snakes Utilt.. feels hopeless =_=

It's my biggest Zelda-minus.. =(

Any hints/tips how to get to ground saftley?

mix it up... you can:
- fastfall and wait fort hem to try to stop you before you actually do anything else
- dair
- nair
-reposition and LK
- airdodge (maybe follow that up with an aerial)
- Teleport Down
- Teleport diagonally
- Use Din's and float/detonate it close


nayru's is normally a bad decision actually

Thank you very much!
I really need better ways to reach ground!

Dair? really?

Would be happy for even more hints! <=oD

when nothing else is working, i do this:


teleport diagonally. if my opponent is waiting to see me reappear and then run over to hit me, i start teleporting into them, so they can't do anything about it.

if they're shielding, DON'T teleport down, but diagonally. chances are that they won't be able to reach you before you can put up a shield of your own.

other times, i'll actually dair hit-and-run them (because it's generally not safe to stay near someone after hitting them with dair ).



if you're opponent is STILL predicting you, float down semi close to them, so they THINK you're going to air dodge or attack, but teleport instead. honestly, there's like nothing you can't do with farore's wind. you just have to be smart about it...

Be a little less predictable. If you always aim for the same part of the stage, and do anything that'll leave you open, say hi to Snake's utilt.

Try going for the ledge or a platform sometimes. Try teleporting diagonally down instead of straight down every time. Do something else.

Farore's Wind leaves you extremely vulnerable, both at startup and end. It takes a large amount of time just for her to charge up the teleport. If your opponent is metaknight, your screwed no matter what. I recommend jumping air dodges as best you can.

Going for the ledges is probably your best bet. Zelda has crap for defense below her.

Din Glides, well timed airdodges or FWing awwaayyyy from your opponent when you are JUST out of their range is pretty much all you can do.

If you play Sheik, try doing a Transformation Glide and then recovering as Sheik if you find it easier.

THX for all the answers everyone!

Hey! that's a pretty smart idea!..
If you're VERY high up in the sky you can switch to Shiek which has way better agility!
Never really thought about that! =)

Then when I get enough time I can switch to Zelda again if I want =)

This pretty much sums it up. I mean just look at how your opponent wants to keep you in the air then mix things up. Read how they want to hit you and then do something that doesn't allow them to do that.

Additional note... dair works really well on characters with bad uairs. It's great for getting back to the stage especially if they are hyper agressive and chase you when you go in the air.

Do it when you get hit. My "playstyle" is that I transform to change things up since I'm okay with KOing as both chars, ergo I would logically only change when I'm not doing so well with one character. Both Zelda and Sheik have transformation jumps.

With Sheik>Zelda, you soar into the air faster than anything can hit you, so it's completely safe and quick, since you're transforming while you're escaping. Zelda's is best when you're in that danger bubble. Glide back to the stage and you should arrive at the edge and grab it as Sheik.
