Ike Vs. Zelda... Help?

[J_TownStomp]

Okay, I've established this is a hard match up, because of the constant Din's Fire spam. Can anyone help me out with how to get around the Din's Fire, and punish Zelda?

Also, (Tournament tomorrow, not a real big one, but I need to practice. If anyone wants to scrim me, just post your friend code. Mine's - 4339-2148-8891)

Thanks.

Din's Fire flies in a fairly simple pattern I've been able to air-dodge past it or even roll past it... mostly depends on how good of timing the Zelda player has.

Air dodge, counter and shield. Remember though, the longer Dins fire is in the air, the bigger its blast radius.

Din's fire explodes at 1 point, 1 explosion, no lingering, that's it. If you dodge or block it, it's over. It's not like any other projectile where if you block or dodge it, oh **** there's another one. Just dodge the thing.

Well guys, I lost the tournament. And believe it or not, second bracket, I got paired against the zelda I feared. The first match, (It's on a best 2/3 setup), he said "I'm not spamming din's Fire." mid way through the match, it was Zelda - 2 stock, 57%, (Me) - 4 Stock - 40%, and he started spamming dins fire, and proceeded to beat me. 2 stock to 0. It was downright disrespectful.

Will anyone help scrim me for the next tournament?

Sure. I spam all of Zelda's specials, so it should be good practice. Gimme your friend code, and feel free to meet me in the Hylian Hellfire chatbox. Organising is a lot easier that way.

I have created a thread that covers all the character specific matchups. It is rather developed and detailed, thus capable of offering valuable information on this, or any matchup you might be interested in.
