Help! Attacking the tiny! Miniscule! And the small!

[fusiongtxz]

Is it just me, or dose T. Link have a slight disadvantage against the shorter characters?
It may just be me... I can beat my friend when he uses any tall character without much effort, but against the shorter ones, I feel... weaker? xD
Am I the only one experienceing this? Should I go with a diffrent tactic than I'm useing? (B-Air alot... thats not all, but I spam it like a bish)

I have a hard time against squirtle who is also a shorty

[fusiongtxz]

I was messing around, I think mainly the reason is that it's more difficult to hit a smaller person with bair, but untill further notice, I started used metaknight against people with smaller characters xD; he works just fine for me.

I have trouble with Olmar, I guess he is pretty short.

Every character has a problem with shorter characters. They're harder to hit. Squirtle is especially difficult, because his ability to crawl on the ground means you can't hit him with arrows so well (easily remedied with a good 'rang though). Toon Link just needs to spam projectiles more to deal with them, because ironically, small characters tend to pack more of a punch (see Toon Link, Diddy, and Squirtle). The moral is not to get close to them.

Also, the reason you had fewer problems with MK is because his sword is longer than TL's, which means you were using the same technique as you do with Celda, except you had more reach and could hit easier.

Well I guess TL's bair goes a bit high from a shorthop. He does have other good moves though.

i dont find b-airing short people that much trouble, its n-air from a short hop i struggle with, cos you have to do it when youre coming down after the peak of the jump

Eh, I tend to Bair mostly at the peak of my shorthop, which causes problems, A good way to hit Nair is to shorthop then nair the second you leave the ground.

yeah squirtle and pikachu are real challenges whenever i use toon link. Bowser, ganon, de de de no problem

[WuTangDude]

Yeah, it's not just TL, it's a universal thing. Smaller targets and harder to hit then big targets.

I don't really know what to do besides toning down the b-airs, maybe use projectiles more...I can't really say, there's no way to make a small target bigger.

(BESIDES items, but nobody likes those things...j/k ;) )
