Justin whenever you come back from your break, you should try and upload a set against Ed or another Zelda. I would greatly appreciate it.

There's no peace to be found, anywhere.
Snake holds grenade and walks slowly at you

What do?
Either space d-smash, space nair, or nothing. You can sometimes go for a grab if you want to be risky.

:phone:
Pretty much these. If you're in side b range you could to that too and force me to block. Eats a lot of my shield if I didn't power shield.

Can you explain what you mean by spacing nair?

edit: or maybe you can't side b at me because I can roll towards you and close the gap/punish? If that's the case then you'd have to do it when I pull the nade

Snake has time to go throw nade pull cooldown, spot dodge (the only option he has to counter a grab after pulling a nade) and then fsmash?

If snake spot dodges and you, on a whim, decide not to grab... Isn't that a free 8billion% combo from dsmash?

Space nair so it doesn't hit the nade. Aim it at your feet so it hits you/your shield, doesn't hit the nade, and we land safely.

Side-b sucks. You move in, get hit by side-b on the back of your shield, the nade blows up, you grab/f-tilt us for it.

if you're dsmashing a snake walking at you with a grenade, you're detonating a grenade

also lmao@ dsmash punishing spotdodges on reaction, has too much windup for that

It the side-b hits you behind you, it pushes you forward... and then the grenade pushes you further forward.

He beat Tay too. Actually, quiK is the only ZSS that beat Orion afaik. Don't think Nick/Salem ever played him?

I realized my biggest flaw in this game was not taking advantage of all three of ZSS' armor pieces.

Sooo, I studied the start of all of Salem's matches on youtube, and became an expert circus juggler ^_^ . I've been practicing against my brother (Shadow), and the difference is amazingly significant :D .

Actually, even more useful than that were more subtle things like how he gets around certain situations that I hated being in. I'm feeling really optimistic about what I can do in a tourney now.

Snakeee, are you back now cuz of Salem? Why did you stop anyway? You were soo good bck in the day, and even placing better than Salem at locals, but nothing can top Apex.

ftilt angle down has a stupid high chance of tripping, and range is barely different.... why don't you guys angled down version more?

Not really, ftilt is a good punish option when dtilt doesn't have enough range and nothing else is fast enough. It happens more than I'm comfortable with.

The down angled version is the worst one in that way though.
