Hmm... Have you tried bair or hydro pump? They may not end up killing WFT, but it would mess up their positioning fairly consistently, so it would encourage them to stay on stage.
They do; they aren't a part of Greninja's body.
I was watching a combo tutorial and from what I have seen, it looks like as s
I tried to immediately dair but after the footstool but once I footstool, he goes into a jump and I'm to fair to do the dair spike.
Yes, you can air dodge any windbox move (Like Mario's F.L.U.D.D. or Ike's Custom neutral B)
The only one that comes into mind immediatelly is Villager because Pocketed Charged Shurikens are completely ridiculous.
To add to your list~
If your cross-up nair on shield you surrender the ability to combo since you lose crucial spacing. Also, alot of characters have fast up specials. Pac-man, ryu, lucina, and dr.mario just to name a few. Also, F-tilt is to slow to be a viable grounded spacing option.
I specifically stated that fast up specials can punish it in my post, did you not read it? And Ftilt got around 7-10 less frames of end lag after the patch so its safe on shield and is an extremely good grounded poke (ex: tip of Greninja's foot on Marth's shield is safe). I'd understand that you still think its slow since nobody ever used it pre patch.
Constantly SHFF, horizontal Hydro pump away from your opponent hitting them with the water, if you're near an edge run off and rising BAir back on stage if they try to follow you off stage, throw a moderate amount of shurikens if you're a decent enough distance from your opponent, spam the hell out of FTilt (it's so good now).
Just substitute the soccer ball and hit Wii Fit Trainer up or if you're feeling daring you can go for down and spike him/her.
How to "get in" as Greninja? Pretty simple answer, actually: You don't. Greninja in general, is not very good at approaching with his slow frame data, as many of his moves are too slow to come out and or don't have long lasting hitboxes. It sounds like you're plaing him as a rushdown character, which he isn't really capable of since his approaches aren't really that good unless you are facing characters with bad out of shield options like
, , , or maybe another . Instead of trying to get in, what you should be doing is staying just outside your opponent's range, poking them with shurikens, fair, bair, and dance around them your high mobility until they scream internally and do something stupid. To get around projectiles, simply walk (not dash) towards opponents and powershield them, substitute counter them, or simply avoid them altogether by jumping., you don't really want to approach opponents, you want to pretend like you're approaching: using your super speed to run circles around your enemies and try to aggravate them into performing a punishable actions, and I personally enjoy both characters for this and I find Sonic the easiest character to compare him to. Their actual ways of directly approaching opponents are pretty bad and they don't have the safest moves like true rushdown characters like Sheik, and such they are not very easy characters to learn, Greninja especially. Like Sonic, Greninja is no rushdown character, but instead a passive aggressive bait and punish character and that's the way he's best played. (only because of Jump and Speed arts), or to an extent . If you play with customs on, can also be a rushdown maniac.
After.
Cancel like clanking, or cancel like beating it out? It'll beat out alot of stuff but you have to be DIing down and mashing, take a look at some frame data and you'll see what you can by cross referencing the amount of frames hitboxes come out on. As for clanking, things usually clank if they're of equal damage %s if i'm thinking right.
In my opinion, he kinda does.
(I say so because he too has problems landing back on the ground, is even more susceptible to combos, he isn't very good at melee once opponents get in on him, and his recovery is a little bad), but it ain't good. He's a heavily momentum based character and most of the time you need to have a lead against your opponent and make every move with caution and well-made calculations, lose said momentum and you could fall apart.
