Tips against Zelda?

[megamanexev3]

Yeah, there's this guy who plays as Zelda and I can't grab him. Help. Every time I roll, he goes into an F Smash or a U smash, which have awesome range. Then right after, into a downsmash to punish my failed grab, then spamming his Dinn's fire.

I'm a sheik mainer but I also play zelda often and the worst thing you could do to her with the icys is get up in her face.

To grab him; dash, cancel it with a shield, and then grab. It will block her fsmash or usmash. Also, when she spams din's fire roll towards her and use Ice block, or as a second option you can use the Z roll desync.

you could just desync and start comboing her with things like squall hammers combined with blizzards.

What are the best desynchs? Dash dancing doesn't always work. And I can never get the z roll desynch to work properly, any tips on that?

First of all i find that rolling twards most any character is a bad idea. The pivot dash dysnc is very reliable and easy just hit one direction barly then smash the other fast it pretty much always works for me. As for Z roll you pretty much just hit them at the same time is all about practicing timing.

Zelda iz a freakin beast. I h8 fiting the char in general, let alone with the IC's.

Projectile wise .. Desynched Blocks > Dinns Fire.
U have more speed, and more importanly, followup options.

So why is Dinns fire a problem then?
Very difficult 2 airdodge with the ICs.. If the Zelda holds the fire behind u, Nana dodges, but u get hit.
.. If the Zelda lets go early, u dodge it, but Nana gets hit. Jus gotta time it perfectly, not much else u can do. Jus make sure if stuck in the air u get 2 the ground ASAP.

Zeldas priorety is pretty beastly, jus dont even try 2 beat it. Approach safely, IB's and Blizzards.
Plz, dont roll too much, her Dsmash WILL punish u. U gotta stay unpredictable.

Zelda Usmash > IC Dair..
Zelda Utilt > Ic Nair..

Make every grab count. Seriously.. If u cant chaingrab well, IB Lock ownz Zelda. Once shes off the stage, jus keep Blocking, she may mess up the UpB.

Thats all I got really.. Jus mix it up, make every grab count and DI!. I believe its possible 2 Smash DI out of Usmash and Mayb Fsmash. I 4got.. Good Luck.

This is what I normally do actually.

fighting zelda in brawl reminds me of fighting peach in melee

the priority of her usmash is so brutal on the ic's...

uphill matchup no matter how you look at it.

Zelda was already a tough match-up in Melee. D:

I took your advice and I 3 stocked the guy. Twice. Thank you Smash Boards.

I scored a lot of downthrow>F-air kills, because those looks awesome.
