When should I go for ken combos?

What are the best situations and spacing

when it will kill them

What Umbreon said. Whenever you see they di'ed in a fashion when you can follow up with a dair that will send them to the bottom blast zone, go for it.

Also, its essential to know when to just let it go if you know tipped dair won't connect. If that happens, nair, tipper dolphin slash or fair again so you keep a huge stage advantage.

Exactly. I end up always going for dair whenever I get the chance even if I'm not sure it'll tip

It just takes a decent amount of practice until you get a feel for the dair. Make sure you always have a jump or are well above the stage before throwing it out because the ending lag can lead to an SD. Try playing on battlefield for practice, the platforms are high enough that dairs become pretty easy, at which point so do Ken combos.

Just watch Pewpewu. He gets Ken combos more than Ken does lol.

me and dr pp have an inside joke where we talk about doing double marth team and tech chasing people with the ken combo over and over on the stage to put opponents on tilt lmao

 

[DJ _ICE]

lol. Do you think Marth/Marth teams would do good at all in an actual tourney?

 

[CyberZixx]

Double Marth sounds like an awful team.

Marth/Marth, or: "Now we can't kill our opponents when we are unable to gimp or tipper them twice as often!"

Gimps/Kills out of throws are harder to pull off in teams as it is. Marth needs a partner who can wall well, or packs a lot of kill power without spacing.

i mean i wouldn't ever play it seriously in tournament but it's not the worst team you can do. there's a lot to be said for invalidating jump completely lmao
