Lol well to start, no losing to
lol. He has the worst options against pressure, but his spot dodge is REALLY good. Just play like you're a good character and he's not and you shouldn't have any real problems. I played Legan about a month ago and he used a lot of mindgames, but in the end it's
....
Against
, you have to be ready to punish his landings in all sorts of akward situations. Staying far away from him is a no go because he camps the life out of us and being right next to him is almost impossible since he's so mobile. You have to stay midrange until you can get his landing then go in and stay on him. Powershield his arrows and watch all his landing mixups (like zair, i-bombing, airdodge, etc.). Once you get to like 110% (maybe less), watch out for his usmash. Good
won't fish and instead will abuse the fact that you start to shield more to rack up more damage. Play cautious, but don't let him pressure you into situations where he'll get it. If he misses a grab it's a free infinite, so keep bananas around you as much as possible.
is a character of mixups and will be looking for you to make a mistake when trying to punish his camping. When you get the trip/punish go in, otherwise don't rush it. Expect a pretty long match.
I learned the MU from playing online and MJG, but the last vid I saw of a godd example of the MU was like MJG vs Dekar from 2010 lol.
For
camping shouldn't be that big of a problem mainly because if you stay mid range, it's not safe...flat out. Powershield his thunderjolts and punish him with a banana if that's your problem. He can't dthrow chain us, but he can fthrow --> usmash at low percents. Our advantage in this match up is our range. Our aerials completely outrange
, so just space him out and punish his approaches. When recovering try to avoid low recoveries because it's not that hard for pikachu to do something stupid offstage for the gimp. If you get usmashed at a relatively high percent don't airdodge until you hear "PIKAA!!!", so that you avoid getting star ko'd. I've played Anther quite a few times and he likes to try and go for a lot of mixups and, when he gets an advantage, keep pressure on. Most
players I see hate this mu and pick up secondaries for it, but a good vid to watch is Gnes vs. Z from Apex.
Hope this helps....oh and good stuff at that AZ tourney. I saw the bracket, pretty stacked.
