can't you sweetspot an usmash on puff? I've seen it on Kongo Jungle but that's probably because of the slopes...

I played Shiz, Colbol, KeepSpeedn, Rice.

Jiggs can rest peach out of turnip> upsmash rest punish. Turnip d smash works though dair>uair if you think they won't DI, or charge an f smash and pray for a frying pan.

toad is one of the most rewarding moves :)

sometimes its really not a bad choice while recovering. often times people will come out to hit me (falcon) and toad is perfect.

I thought I was the only person who used toad lol...

I like it when I'm at the ledge and Marth tries to f-smash me and I toad. Just like do it once a match though cuz it becomes predictable.

About 98% of the time I use toad to recover, my opponent ends up missing their attack and destroying my toad lag with an even stronger attack.

how dude? if a sheik runs out there to fall off double jump fair, and misses, hows she gonna punish ur toad? If falcon down throw knees and misses the knee, when i toad, he is gonna be too low to even punish toad to float. or when eggm/jman do that stupid shine stall bair crap with fox/falco while im recovering- boom toad...peace dude ill take a free recovery

its actually the best option at extremely situational times. and its ****

what I mean is they will unintentionally miss their first attack, and Double jump with a strong attack while i'm stuck in toad animation.

I never really use Toad because when I misuse it, I look like an idiot.

And for some strange reason (like Vanz), Toad tends to backfire on me more often than not. =\

lemme attempt to explain this again

...if your opponent goes off the ledge to attack while using their double jump, toad is the best possible option. if they hit, they get toaded, if they miss, they've already used their double jump and cant hit you. it doesnt even require mindgames...its just understanding your opponents options and reacting to spacing with the correct move.

Don't you guys have a general Peach Discussion topic or something like that?

Anyway Armada is ****: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4UPtXU-JH8
You should all have a look at his new videos if you didn't allready.
Now I want a MM with Armada.

So lets see, that's Canada and Europes economy I'm gonna be draining. Armada where you at, $20 USD get at me.

Y'all don't know about my bro. He's legit. If he actually cared about the game he'd be waaaay better than Lite.

As he now stands, Lite would definitely mop the floor with him, though. :ohwell:

FC Fairs are best against an adamant shield camper. Technically, you get a free grab when you Fair someone's shield (because of all the shield stun) so that's probably the most common/best use of it.

Some players also use low Fairs to beat out Fox's SH Nair approach. It'll work like once or twice, but the smart fox will learn to over-shoot his Nairs and before you know it, you're in a nasty string of aerials (because you can't CC while in float) I recommend using this sparingly.

and wow @ that Armada video. I love when a Peach knows how to control a match. it's amazing. That shiek should grab more though. i'm pretty sure Dthrow > Ftilt > Fair works. (judging by the grab or 2 he actually got in the match)

Can't you buffer a roll away from the fc fair on your shield *before* the grab comes out?

Just curious, because I'm essentially, as you say, an adamant shield camper.

No.
Only thing you can get out of Dthrow if DI'd correctly is Dash Attack.

cping you to Mute at a MDZ tourney
I was talking to Elen, one of MA's best smashers, and we were trying to figure out why peach would use fair instead of nair
I realized it's because of the hitbox, the fair hits head to knee, while the nair is only from her shoulders down
I think Fair's generally a better option as an approach because you get so many more options if they shield (you can dsmash and almost always shield stab, or grab, or do more FC shield pressure if you're quick)
Nair's good vs shiek, IMO. Sheik's high sh height limits her approach options so if she sh's and tries to aerial, then she lands on the nair. It also outprioritizes shiek's dash attack, IIRC
I don't fair as an approach because she can just jump up and stuff it with a fair

Most of the time when I approach I throw a turnip first, just common sense when it comes to approaches.

can you buffer grabs or do you actually time them after a sheilded fair?

also I'm pretty sure Armada buffers his nairs oos in part of that sheik vid

Yeah, you can buffer grab after fair. I'd have to watch that video again to see the buffered nairs. but that sounds cool

TIM - I don't think Dair does through BF, but you can try it.
