U-tilt - when to use?

[Oh Snap]

I use Usmash a lot of build up damage with Zelda and most of the time I can't even kill at 11x-12x% with Usmash. I think I should use Utilt a lot more because of it's huge KB, but it's so slow and I can never get it to hit.

Any tips on when I should use this move?

 

[Xebenkeck]

use it if someone is falling from above and airdodges, the move is pretty slow and the hitbox should still be out if they airdodge to quickly, or land on the ground. Also because she waves her arm behind her somewat, it can be used if someone rolls behind you, the hitbox begind her is pretty low to the ground and will hit them.

Whenever you would use Usmash to kill really, just make sure you get used to positioning yourself so that the start of the move hits your opponent rather than the end.

oh and what BestNessn00b says is very true, the rolling thing is very useful.

Also dtilt pops them up at high percentages, so if you're fast enough you can get a utilt in while they're still slightly stunned.

I use Up-Tilt only when I'm almost positive that I am reading my foe correctly and that he/she will get hit by it... also, the foe has to be at a respectable damage.

With no move decay, Utilt klls at fairly low damages, so I like to make sure that when I bring it out, it will finish them off. It might be slow, but it has incredible priority and power... as such, t completely ends some characters if they try to approach aerialy... especially if thry don't have a disjointed hitbox.

if you experiment, it works a little better against some aerial moves than others.
The hitbox on uptilt, at least to me, appears come a little lower diagonally than upsmash. Like, upsmash gets to 1:30, but uptilt gets to 2 o'clock. So i use it those times.
I use it a lot in situations where i feel that there are different things my opponent might do, and depending on what they do they will probably get hit by the front, top, or back hitbox of the move. It takes a lot of experience/ knowledge of opponent's playstyle to find these situations, but they are there.

Remember, as counterintuitive as it seems to use the back hitbox of this move, that's actually the best part, in terms of after lag. So the back hitbox actually has the best "safe move" rating, if you've read St. Viers guide/musings to safe moves.

I use it when I'm finishing of a Dthrow combo or as something to ruin someone approaching from the air like Sonic said. Mainly though, I use this as a finisher.

Everything that everyone else said is definitely right so there really isn't much new material I can add lol.

 

[goodkid]

Its a great finisher, but it is also can be good way to build damage, just depends on how you want to use it.

 

[PwnyRide]

Well nothing i can really add, but f-tilt to u-tilt at a low % works quite a bit for me

Fudge Utilt. The Usmash is where is at! 8D
But uhmm, I suppose its a nice alternative. It comes out sometimes on accident when I really mean to use her Usmash. It works pretty well actually. Stippy'll need to hone in on the technique when I'm practicing.

(however I can never get it to come out, I always end up jumping D: )

 

[Ztarfish]

The easy solution would to be turn tap jump off
But if you're like me, you hate tap jump off and kill yourself 5 times a day when it's off, and therefore learn to deal with less Utilt in your life.

*ignore this post*

 

[IDK]

you can use it as to not decay the u-smash or to follow with an up air.

lol Why don't you just turn tap jump off or at least practice it. Utilt has so much knockback and priority that it cannot just be ignored; not to mention that the attack itself lasts quite a while.

Plus, since Usmash is rarely used for KO's... it takes Usmash's place as a killing move (it kills at lower damages anyway.)

Using Zelda's utilt, you can swat Bowser out of his downB butt-blast . . . if you time it correctly.

Random thought for the day.

The neutral B move throws people in whatever direction you are facing, so often I'm facing towards a ledge while someone is approaching from behind. To switch this up, its good to use the utilt, as it will take a while to get behind you but will often take out characters approaching from that direction.

I love to use the uptilt after using downtilt a few times... I do it when they are aroung 100 % coz you can put them in a distance perfect for uptilting :D

Though it can be really situational but it is indeed possible

Where does her hand have to be to swat it out (I mean that in a completely unsexual way)...
