Rango the Mercenary
The Mercenary
I've never been one to punish bad habits, except the most glaring and obvious ones. Ledge recovery, airdodging, and shielding are three major ones that come to mind. Even then, my entire gameplan was to just bait them into coming in, and using a ranged attack to beat them out. This has not been the best way to achieve results, as faster attacks will beat out even attempted good spacing, and overly defensive play can itself be punishable.
It wasn't until CEO that I re-learned a method to attack with aerials and punish shielding with tomahawk grabs. As an Ike main, players love to slip under me while I try to space them out, powershield, and get a free grab. I'm also quickly learning how this works to my advantage and can go right into a standing grab to punish it.
Once again, I've never been one to purposely exploit anything but the most obvious habits, but for some players, they're able to fish out simple things, like too much jumping, too much use of a specific attack, using the same recovery angle, or even their approach.
What's your method to baiting bad habits and what do you enjoy looking for to punish?
