How punishable is Dsmash on block? I tend to find that they aren't close enough to grab afterwards and try to WD oos to get back in. I usually slap immediately which clanks shine attempts and I can dsmash immediately after if it hits.How does peach deal with shield grabs? Suppose peach does FC nair that hits mid shield or lower (but not lowest) and is fast falled. Ignoring mixups, how would I deal with grab? I'm used to fox, where if I nair at that height and fastfall I could get an antigrab move (shine) off, but I was getting grabbed virtually every time as peach. My main choice was to immediately dash away, but apparently its not safe. I don't like to jab vs a grab because they just CC it and grab again, though I suppose a quick double jab would be alright and isnt the worst thing I could do on a shield. I suppose another option would be to dsmash, which can also cause shield pokes, but most good characters can punish it on block.
Speaking of dsmash on shields, can sheik punish it? With fox I could WD OoS shine->usmash, but if I try WD OoS grab with sheik I've noticed that peach can dsmash again or spotdodge before the grab connects. Is there another option shiek can do to punish? (sh fair? sh dair?)
when we play with those counterpicks, it's ALWAYS a good time.andre waaaaaay too brave
also i played some melee this weekend
me vs connor
sheik/falco vs falcon/marth
first game on flat zone, then counterpicks after that. good times
I've seen it done, where they CC the first hit and shine before the 2nd.Has anyone else been shined by Falco in between the hits of Peach's dsmash while he was getting hit? I was very surprised the first time it happened.
such a pointless risk though unless the falco can execute it perfectly, if he/she misses their timing they they've cc'd into 2/3 hits and risk more.I've seen it done, where they CC the first hit and shine before the 2nd.
Jump, block, roll, most things are better.wow... CC to shine on a d-smash sounds like a terrible idea and like it should never be done... but Its also good to know incase you ever do get d-smashed while cc you can atleast have a way "out"
This is what I always tell non-Peach mains when they say I need more downsmash. But they never listen. It's not some godlike, all-purpose move. It's just VERY good in the situations you can use it in, against spacies/Falcon (and decent vs everyone else).This is why I always combo into d-smash against Falco.
D-smash is actually very unsafe except in certain situations.
I meant if you're trying to act after CCing the first hit.Im refering to if you get caught in the d-smash... obviously there are better options if you're not caught in it....
But you don't want to combo into dsmash, in most cases there are better things to do. If Armada pops an opponent up, he will look for either a FH uair or a FC nair/bair -> tech chase.Oh yea comboing into d-smash. At low percents all her knock up attacks i.e. d-tilt up-throw dash attack can combo into d-smash. Also tech chasing into d-smash. Basically you want to hit them when they cannot be crouching at all otherwise they can "super" crouch cancel which allows them to shine you out of d-smash.
