Isn't Olimar a nightmare match-up for Shiek, or is that just slightly disadvantaged.
Far from a nightmare... just REALLLLLY annoying. -_-
f-tilt> DSmash at like 70ish% is all we need for a KO.
Our gimp game takes care of him... and all we heed for a ledge hog is to chain hog.
His only hope then is that a purple Pikmin lands on us. Which we can avoid by simply going to the ledge and then we have invincibility frames.

It doesn't help him that our f-tilt lock leads directly into DSmash either, or that we can chain camp him. Our Needle's also kill his Pikmin forcing him out of camping.


That said.. his pivot grab ***** us. As long as we can try and avoid that grab we are in good condition......

ditto, I kinda gave up on those two match ups cuz it seems one sided to me. -_-

Meh, before my bro quit he mained ROB and MK.
The MK wasn't much, but he had a pretty good ROB.
IMO, be very careful up close, that DSmash is annoying. Also watch out for glide toss> FSmash. @-@

If you can master the Saltus combo then you are set. ROB gets absolutely ***** by Saltus.
38% (I think that's what it was) + f-tilt and he is dead.

I don't have too many problems with rob i play a good one regularly. you just have to pay a good deal of attention to his projectiles and focus on the timing of his aerials cause u can get around his aerials. Also jab is sooo important in this matchup cause it can prevent his spotdodge dsmash. But up close rob is combo city.

An IC main wrecked my jiggy first round thursday... well not wrecked but beat. (up angled ftilt and uair destroy all of jiggys approach options :( I know this put most ICs don't and that why I think the match up is so jiggly favored ATM ftilt isn't that Bad for ICs IMO) Went sheik/zelda losers finals and 3-0ed

needles, ftilt running away like a *****, and bair man... all you need in that match up. dysnc? pff... I did go zelda versus solo popo cuz losing a stock/getting 70 damage after a nana gimp is dumb.


OH ****! SALTUS ON SOLO POPO!

EDIT:
Don't know why I posted that here I need to sleep.

This thread needs to be stickied.

It was a free tourney :) 11-13 entrants

Yaaay, Saltus.
Why when I hear that now I think of bread?
It's like "Here is your saltus bread sir."


If another thread gets stickied here I'm gonna slit my wrists. We have enough sticky threads!
