Actually, it depends on the moves. I'm almost certain that Meta's fair slightly beats out Marth's fair, but I could be wrong....it might be one of those "whoever attacks first, gets hit" types of things. There's a lot of that in Brawl. :ohwell:
its about the same distance on most of his aerials, except marth's bair slightly outranges mk's i think.

However, Marth doesnt have that same trans property on like all his moves like mk does.

For ike questions you ight want to ask Arturito burrito. Real good ike
I know, I've played against his Ike before.

And isn't watching your opponent a part of spacing, which Ike needs to do well at? If you're focused on where you are and what you are doing, you're spacing won't be as good....right?

Just watching them won't really help you at all... technically you could just be watching them kill you :p But yeah, you need to know where they are and how fast they can get to you, that usually comes with experience.

Just play without shielding if you want to work on your spacing. Set the shield buttons to like jump or something.

Yes. In fact, if you grab them at zero, you can get a regrab in before the dair.
Good to know now for sure. I was scared often resulting me in just throwing them somewhere else. I find myself using a lot of jab. The two characters i cant really jab are marth(dphat) and MK. This counters just suck making me drop falco out of my game... How should i approach them? or punish?

Well Falcos jab is 2 frames, so you shouldn't have too many problems jabbing characters.

Try throwing empty SH airdodges into your game for baiting. Jabbing out of those works sometimes :). Though don't just do it for the sake of doing it haha, use it to get around some things. Ftilt also helps a lot in the spacing department, and often you can get them by just walking away from your opponent slowly then turning around and ftilting.

Grabs can be pretty good punishment at mid %. You can dthrow most characters and follow up with a dash attack, even if they AD. After that jump after then with say..uair to force an AD then anything to punish or something else depending on DI or if you even hit them with a dash attack. Falling nair can lead to utilt ---> something usually.

Why do you act childish so often? Nothing I've done warrants this.

Seriously, get over it.

Daaaaaam. My first question. What should I do if a MK is pressuring my shield and then nados?

>:O
Just roll backwards once you see the nado come out(not forward) and then run away or do something to punish it >_>.

Ozz: which character are you? It's different for every character. Also, are you in the air or near the ground when you get hit by it?

You actually can't escape if they don't hit you with the bottom part of the tornado (unless you've got a frame-1 move that offers some sort of disruption or invincibility frames). The bottom of it pops you up through the top and you can go from there, but if they come in and hit you with the top of the tornado's cone then it just knocks you around a little bit and you can't get out. For instance: if a Metaknight uses the tornado and comes up from under you on a platform then it sucks you in to the tornado and you're there until they finish. However, if they shield poke the top of your shield with it then it pops you up through the top and you can escape with only about 3% damage, give or take a little.

But what if I'm on a platform? D:
If they are pressuring the top of your shield before they nado you should have enough time to drop through the platform before the tornado.

I'm Falco.

I want to know how to DI out of it both in the air and on the ground, if possible.

Hylian: GW's roll sucks IMO, correct me if i am wrong. SO for instance when snake dthrows GW our options are limited and since his roll is a bit slow it can be predicted. I had seen videos of people using up-b instead, which i tried but it didnt really work well for me, did I just use it wrong?
Also we should be able to fair people on a tech chase after a dthrow right?

You can fair after a dthrow, yes, as for the other thing.... I donno, lol.

And yeah, Drew... you're like the only regional mod that does his job so frequently as to scare everyone into compliance... stop it :(

Up-B works great to get out of Snakes Dthrow. Just start mashing up-b right as he downthrows you. If they read you, they can get a dair off though(unless you SDI it) so be careful. Usually snakes walk forward slowly to punish all you options though, so up-bing out works.

Yes you can techchase with fair as well.

Mkay, heres a situation:

Im marth up throwing snake at medium percent

I SHFF uair and snake air dodges

I grab again to reset situation, and Snake ground dodges. Im guessing its cuz im too late on the grab.

So heres the question: How many frames are there between air dodge->ground dodge that I can grab Snake on?

I really dont like snakes "ground dodge" (i know im not hylian but i play morningstar ALOT) you just have to predict it really. Just stand there and wait for him to side step then grab him again, or just dont be so predictable. Snakes side step is one i hate the most next to D3's

As far as frames go, i dont know but i know snake can do some stupid stuff short frame wise >_>
