My first time playing ZSS in a tournament (which was also my first time playing Brawl), I counterpicked Rainbow Cruise. It was a blast.

I do think you could work on edgeguarding Luigis, Snakeee. That Tornado begs to be dsmashed every time he does it up towards the stage. Note that he can't ledge grab out of it. I say you should grab the ledge then get right back up and prepare to dsmash. Then you can punish as you please.

Snakeee, I noticed in your last number of matches you were getting owned by your own armor a lot. You sometimes seem to forget about the pieces and go after the person, allowing them to get behind you an steal them. This is killing you at the start.

Well, the thing is that it's dangerous to use all 3 armor pieces (against most characters at least). Notice how I got owned with them in the first game against DSF, and then I decided to throw 2 off the next game and it worked out much better. I had realized this before, but I didn't think it would matter much against Snake. It's risky to use all of them in general though I think. From now on, I'm going to only keep one piece for the majority of the time.

I think if you really work at controlling them you can do a lot more. I don't even try to hit my opponent with A moves a lot when I have the armor in play, I just constantly keep picking them up and keeping them flying.
Have you tried keeping all 3 pieces in motion at once with a bunch of up-throws? I find that having a bunch of random hitboxes flying everywhere really restricts my opponent's movement, especially on stages like FD. But then again, your opponents are far better than mine.

I agree that when you got rid of 2 you did much better.

I experimented a lot with them, but I guess it's because it's so easy to catch items in this game it still puts you at a lot of risk. I really think keeping one is best at the moment but that could change.

Really? Sometimes I think he focused more on controlling the pieces than on not getting hit. He didn't even get owned by the pieces, but just by trying regain access to them.

I nearly cried when Snakeee missed that bair against DSF, by the way.

Simply amazing match Snakeee!

Inui never had a chance, your power level really is over 9000.

Finally got a video of me.

First stock sucks. Then I proceed to 3-stock the guy. I really need to figure out a good suit piece strategy for everyone in the FoD crew. Almost everyone else I've fought has been ruined by my usual strategy, but everyone that regularly plays with them just gets control of them like that.

Good thing ZSS can win without her pieces.

Yeah you could use some better suit piece control :p You didn't even get a hit in.

Also, you could have killed him at 30% with a spike after you d-smashed him out of the cyclone. single dsmash>down-B is inescapable, even that low.
