What are Belmont difficult match-ups?

[Snipnigth]

Any character in particular that gives you a hard time?

Inkling has superior movement, frame data and edge guarding. And her dash low profiles most of our moves, quite annoying.

Maybe I'm just bad with the character, but basically anyone with a good reflector. Falco can be super frustrating if they get reflector happy.

Also, literally anyone who can easily edgeguard. Pikachu, Pichu, Peach, Inkling, Snake. The list could probably go on and on.

Pikachu and Pichu are unbearable, Wolf is nasty, fox is nasty, Palutena is bad, Lucina's bad, surprisingly sheik is also bad. But outside of that I don't know if there's any other bad ones, maybe villager or mega man but I think the belmonty moles have stuff there.

I find that most fast, rushdown characters (Fox, Sheik, Inkling, the rats, etc) give Belmont a lot of trouble since their speed allows them to pretty much invalidate your gameplan, which is to keep them at a distance.

MF YOSHIES

Definitely Yoshi, Inkling, and Joker from my personal experience.

Came back to add Pikachu, Pichu, and Jigglypuff to the list. Jigglypuff is like an honorable mention more than anything because only the really big brain ones seem to make me struggle. But Pikachu and Pichu are fast enough that you can have a hard time walling them out and setting up certain kill scenarios can be more difficult because they are lighter and seem to fall out of combos fairly consistently. That last bit is lack of adaptation on my part definitely. But still frustrating.

I don't think it's necessarily bad since Ridley has a hard time getting in and is just a big target in general, but Ridley is pretty terrible if he gets you offstage.

Pikachu and Pichu, as usual with most characters, are god awful for Belmont. They're not getting off of you once they get in, and they're going to if they're even a bit competent.

 

[Dendros]

Pretty much all Rushdown characters (Yoshi, Pikachu/Pichu, Fox) The trick is to not spam projectiles when they are too close, especially axes. Use ftilt and dtilt to zone out. Angled Fair and Bair also do wonders against rushdowns with lower priority and range.

Personally its whatever your weak against and your opponent is able to take advantage of, personally its Palu, Joker, and Sheik, and a few others to name. I've played Simon ever since i unlocked him and researched him but yet, he does have his downsides, he's not a bad character, you just need to train A LOT.
