I have three problems on how to get my climbers to a above 9th place finish...

1.) How do I get the most out of my Side B recovery as Sopo. I usually start falling for a whole second before side B finishes. Do I just have to mash B more, or is their a rythme to it?

2.) Moving around faster. Mostly on platform levels, BF, DreamLand I just can't seem to get to my opponent. They fly around the stage while I just try to get in their way for the grab I need. Any advice on this?

3.) Getting the grab. Most of my grabs are just Shield -> WD -> Grab. Or they just stand there with their shield and I decide to grab. If they move around, I just can't seem to get it.


Any advice on any of these would help me out a lot. Thanks :D

1) Mash the B.
2) Waveland around.
3) Hit them, then grab them. Knockdowns are your friend, so is comboing into grab via Fair and whatever. Simple pressure strategies that promote them shielding or limit their usable escapes or force responses are also your friend. Pseudo-combos like jab --> grab are also invaluable. You must use all of them.

Thank you :D Also, for the Side B recovery. Do you need to angle the Control stick a certain way? I usually just go the basic left or right.

Really it depends a little for side-B like if you think your going to get shine spiked side-B up(lol) but over all just go the way your going you can go staight up and press right/left.

I know I can easily walk off of FoD and side-B to the top platform. I think my max is top of battlefeild.
