Tips on killing?

[yackamajez]

My main problem in smash is killing the opponent. I know greninja's kill setups(dtilt airdodge 50/50, weak nair up smash/fair up throw airdodge 50/50, up tilt up air, dair shadow sneak) but my trouble is landing the initial hit to get the set up started. I also have trouble punishing airdodges. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

I actually don't try for the setups at all and I find they just happen. As for air dodges, delay your attacks when you predict a dodge. It throws off the timing

Charging a Water Shuriken to punish is a great mix up that can lead to punishing with a fair/uair/ShadowSneak/etc

It takes a little getting used to due to the air stall that comes as a result of using your 1st WS in the air but with enough practice it can condition them into a mindset that you can use to punish easily.

Also Uthrow kills ~150% for most characters depending on weight so don't forget about that

If uthrow doesnt kill, threaten a uair. The uair can kill, you can fair or SS falling dodges, and you can hydro pump a jump for a kill.


You cant reactively do these, but they are safe. Choose based on learned habits of the opponent.
