[willie phisterbottom]

any advice on which characters this move would be smart to use on? and how can i land it easier, i feel like ive pretty much mastered zelda other than this particular move.. any tips would be appreciated

My best tip..... try to use it against everyone and make your own opinions for who you should and shouldn't use it against.

Taken from that thread:

Fast-fall it whenever possible, and do it MUCH earlier than you would expect. It is in itself a laggy move, and furthermore, a meet-me-half-way move. Begin pretty much as soon as you start fast-falling, and it should work better.

Also keep in mind you CAN combo them.

Sour > Sour > Sweet works well. I have a vid of that somewhere.
Or sour > sour > footstool.

Please, please search.

There are a few combos and tricks that help you land spikes. One of them is even a 0%-to-Death combo.

Zelda Dsmash...is great. Even if you don't get off the sweetspot it's still effective depending on your opponents percentage...hehe Zelda great hehehe!!!

Any heavy wait char of course. Along with those characters with poor recovery.
