Why is it that you come on every character board, go into their matchup discussion, and tell them what their character can and can't do?
Because I've played that match-up myself?
No s*** ftilt outranges everything Zelda has, hell you can say that about almost any character.
Not true. First of all there are characters who can reach him: ROB, Snake and sometimes Marth. And there are still characters with a
spammable projectile, that interfere (no Fox isn't one of them): Falco, Pit, Pikachu, etc.
You should stop accusing me for things I didn't even say.
"ftilt outranges all of her attacks and once he gets close he grabs you"..........wow thanks for letting us know, I would have never guessed that.
You ignored that in your match-up ratio. Otherwise she'd never had the advantage on him
See the thing is, getting into that range is hard for DDD. Sliding usmash beats all of his approaches.
If she slides towards him he doesn't have to approach. As soon as she starts sliding he just shield -> grab her. Also how can a sliding usmash beat disjointed hitboxes like ftilt?
If you argue, please make sense and don't contradict yourself.
The only thing he could technically beat it with would be SH dair, but that's asking for pain if he misses.
And why would he do something so silly, if he can just use ftilt or shieldgrab?
Lightning kicks trade with his bair and that's not something you want to be doing.
...and? Does it matter? Dedede doesn't even have to use aerials to make short work of her.
In case you didn't know, ftilt has some cooldown time.
Every move has some cooldown time -_____-
Ftilt doesn't have more than most others
Couple that with the fact that Zelda has one of the best spotdodges in the game,
ROB, Snake, Falco, Diddy Kong and King Dedede would like to have a serious word with you.
ftilt isn't too viable for what you describe as "camping."
Why? Spotdodge doesn't put Zelda in a better position. She just evaded the attack but didn't get a better position at all.
One whiffed ftilt and Zelda punishes the fatass penguin HARD. In the form of a lightning kick or usmash.
Are you saying, that if Dedede misses ftilt aka if he's too far away, usmash will hit him? How much range does usmash exactly have? If she spotdodges, he can just shield her (if he is stupid enough to let Zelda even get in range) attack, no matter what comes. She still has to approach somehow to get in range.
I doubt DDD players are going to sit there and risk being punished off a whiffed ftilt.
They aren't because ftilt either won't miss or doesn't get punished.
I don't need to camp with Dins, I merely need to force the approach and I do that.
Thanks for replying what I already said
When he approaches, I have more options than him since I beat anything he can do to me in that situation.
Lie. As long as Dedede has to approach, Din's is the only move Zelda can seriously use. Once he reaches the ftilt range, it's Zelda who has to approach.
If you look at the Zelda boards you'll see I don't even think Dins is good, but in this matchup it is.
The Zelda boards also have MK as 45:55 match-up -___________-
Zelda does fantastic against grab based characters, and DDD is no different.
Against whom exactly?
While DDD is significantly harder than the Ice Climbers for her, she still takes a lot of his stuff out the window.
What exactly? He can't use his waddle dees...OH NOOOOOOEEEEES!!!!111oneoneone
And?
, and with her spacing capabilities and priority it's hard for him to land grabs in the first place.
It's obvious that you don't even now the basics of Dedede? He never has troubles to grab
anyone who doesn't have a spammable projectile or is called MK (even this is debatable. Dedede can grab MK quite well actually).
Besides, good spacing requires more than just mediocre range, poor speed and abysmal mobility
"To make an attack effective you have to land it first and that's where Zelda fails against D3", just a great argument you made there.......see how I made the exact same one?
The difference is that you're wrong and I'm not.
Believe it or not but in this game, some middle tier characters have fantastic matchups against the better characters.
Not really. The only one I can think of is Olimar vs Dedede. There are some 40:60 but that's far from "fantastic".
Unless you count Fox' 70:30 advantage on Snake
Most of the people in the country agree that Peach counters DDD because she takes a lot of his usual methods and renders them useless.
Soft-counters him! 60:40 = /= counter
In fact, Azen uses her as his personal DDD counterpick.
And that has exactly zero relevance to our discussion
Zelda does the same as Peach: beats him in the air,
I should stop debating with you before you make yourself ridicoulus.
You said yourself that the lightning kick trades hit with Dededes bair[/QUOTE]
Can't you see how much you contradict yourself? Either get your facts straight or don't debate match-up's.
stays away from most of his grab game,
And as a result remains unable to hit him
***** his recovery, combos the s*** out of him,
There's nothing easier to do than to "****" DDDs recovery and combo him!!!
I already commented on that. But in case you forgot: DDDs only has to approach until he reaches ftilt range
I know your trying to come off with this elitist, cynical vibe........but at least know what your talking about when you come on other character boards' matchup discussions.
Who are you to say such a thing? You spread misinformation all over the place, here and in the Fox boards. And you accuse me, who runs one of the most accurate match-up threads (aside from the Marth and hopefully Sheik boards) of not knowing what I'm saying? You are the one who contradicts yourself in your arguments: You say first that Zeldas lighning kick and bair trade hits but then you say that her aerials beat his? Despite the fact that all other aerials of Dedede are batter than the other aerials Zelda has? Or you say that Dedede has to approach but that Zelda uses sliding usmash, which makes her approach herself as a result.
You should stop living in your private little reality. Why do you spread misinformations about the character you use yourself. Do you want beginning brawlers to get a wrong impression just because you think your character s are sooooooooo awesome?
Just in case you ask: I play all top tier characters, Marth, Bowser and Wolf of course.
