Smash Ace
I feel like this matchup deserves a specific thread; this is absolutely THE hardest matchup for my Palutena, and I imagine it's definitely up there in the top 5 hardest matchups for any other Palu main. It feels like, no matter how well I play, if the Fox player is at the same skill level as me it will be impossible to win. The match will go on and on, and while I won't suck, it's obvious that I'm taking more damage over time than Fox is, until eventually I'm KO'd. You can even see this happening in Aerolink's matches with good Fox players; the match will go on for a long time because a good Palutena player is adept at spacing out their opponent and surviving, but a competent Fox player is fast enough to weave through her defenses.
Is there any way to win? Is it maybe better to just pick up a secondary character?
