I was fooling around with IC's and got ***** by a a Zelda.

I think that ICs still have a very slight advantage, just because they are tiers above Zelda, and have more options, but Zelda can play that MU, I think. Kicks/fsmash separate them really well, she can kill Nana in mere moments... The thing is, Zelda kinda needs to be in the air for kicks, and IC's can WD under her > utilt/usmash if she gets too comfy in the air. They also have powerful moves that can kill her early.

Maybe 55:45 in ICs favor? I simply don't believe that Zelda wins, or that it's even.

I have never had the best zelda, but a while back (sometime last year) I was playing the zelda vs IC's mu and I personally felt that it was around a 45/55 in ic's favor. I also think medium size stages r the best in this MU for zelda. They give her enough room to move around and not get caught by the ic's why still being small enough so she can get into the ic's space when she wants. So i guess I am saying i dont like yoshis and dream land but I would imo ban yoshis in this MU b4 dream land.

It seems like posters think that adding that at the end of their post makes their post a successful troll post

Zelda/Puff. What is this?
You mean matchup ratio? 30:70

The spacing game is even. Both space bairs. If Zelda's hits Jigglypuff might die. If Jigglypuff hits, she has good opportunity to keep hitting you (whereas you don't when you hit her). She can edge guard you and you can't edge guard her

I don't think it's 70:30...more like 60:40. I mean, Jiggs does die early. And comboing Zelda into rest isn't that easy (as long as you up safely...you should be fine).

She doesn't need to combo into rest. She can combo you and push you off the stage and get guaranteed edge guards

Somehow I forgot about bair...hmmm... I still feel like early toe kills help Zelda enough to not make this quite that bad of an MU (compared to Fox and Falcon and Sheik and Marth).

True, Jigglypuff is so much less bad than her 4 worst matchups

A 2 or 3 hit combo from Jigglypuff does more damage than 1 toe from Zelda. Both probably start to kill each other at around the same percent. Unless it's YS (Zelda's best stage vs Jigglypuff because her recovery and edgeguarding weaknesses are much less of a weakness)

I can wobble for a little bit... not infinitely, but usually up to 70%-ish or a little higher...

I don't practice it though, I just count in my head while doing it lol.


but anyways, **** wobbling. If I play ICs, I gotta be super aggro.

jiggs controls the stage much better than zelda and this is what truly drives the matchup when dealing with experienced players. they have the same range however and against more inexperienced jiggs you can get really early suprise KOs from bad DI on their part

Well I wanna talk about Zelda vs ICs

Since I played Chu a lot this weekend

And I lost to an ic's in bracket

And I'm mad

:phone:
i live with chu.

i used to play him all the time, but he's been pretty mad at me lately so i don't play him much. the last time we played, he only used roy and that was....one-sided.

we usually have really close matches in zelda vs ICs on FD. i win about half of them. i think zelda wins slightly or the MU is even. ICs are weird.

I pretty much win on non-FD. zelda is gay.

i still lose to chu's fox. that MU is impossible.

dunno if you guys remembering me whining about having no scene and a direct in-ability to get good because I have no practice partner. My games were like once a month or so I'd get to play for real.

Well I'm probably gonna come back to melee, because I'm fixing to have a smasher roomate.

Time to get pimp good.

Except.... I'm gonna main someone good this time lol.
