Sheik does a lot better against Fox than Falcon, if you are worried about that. In fact I think both spacies absolutely dominate Falcon, while Sheik still loses them it is a lot closer to being even. I'd say main whoever you want but if you are thinking about playing Sheik and Falcon, I don't...

Are you talking about Falco because following DI out of shine with Fox is following SDI with a waveshine with which I don't think it is really feasible to waveshine with tap jump. (The SDI is either on an aerial or on the shine itself) In the air with Fox you can follow with tap jump because you...

1. You generally want to fastfall the drill most times you use, although you can use a non-fastfell drill to poke shields that have been worn down a bit. 2. You can use c-stick if you are quick enough with your fingers because regardless of using x or y, hitting the c-stick down is relatively...

I don't think it is necessarily the best, but PGH Carroll's Peach combo video is sick af. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoSHfRDsptU Once again, not the best, but IMO Reeve's is super underrated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfHPnIWlPOs

You have to use the C-Stick for Usmash OOS as far as I know because pressing A while in the jumpsquat in shield will activate a JC Grab OOS because you are hitting L/R+A which activates a grab. Jump Uair means you inputted the move after you jumped although based on what you said, I would guess...

For Fox you want to stay mobile and play pretty safe as Marth's grab combos are pretty strong. You can laser, but don't do it in such way where you corner yourself or can punished for it as you want to laser to force the Marth to approach to unsafely approach. On the topic of Marth approaches...

No, you do not have to smash the c-stick, you can simply hold it in the direction you want to ASDI. SDI being more consistent varies from character to character and is based on percentage as SDI up works well for Puff, but not so much Fox/Falco due to the positioning of how the Uair will...

One thing I noticed right away was the use of throws. Throws themselves are not bad, but in this matchup I'd say that if you get a throw with both ICs next to each other Fthrow is much better than Uthrow because it hits both of them , for example at around 2:22 you grabbed Nana and Uthrow and...

How small exactly are your hands? I don't have that big of hands (7 inches from base of palm to tip of middle finger) and have never personally had problems with awkward hand positions. That being said, if you can figure out how to claw without causing pain (I never could, I exclusively claw for...

As far as risk-reward, it's not great. If you are incredibly good at it, the only escape your opponent has is a roll, although an unstaled multishine catches buffered roll, but the shine is almost never unstaled so a roll should get them out of pressure. However, since their only escape option...

Use the triggers from the old controller and put them with the stick of the Sm4sh controller and use whatever buttons feel better to you.

The Sheik/Puff MU is largely dependent on the playstyle of the Sheik player. If the Sheik likes to grab, they are screwed and are not playing the matchup correctly. Sheik is a very tricky MU for Puff due to the fact that Sheik can actually Puff's zoning ability with her own hitboxes. Needles...

CC Grab is pretty strong in this matchup at low% if the Fox nairs a lot. Play aggressive defense against Fox by shutting down his ground options with Dtilt and air options with Fair and taking space with your DD and the threat of your options. Try not to let a Fox rush you down super hard...

Double jab covers shortened illusion as well as a non-shortened illusion -> First Jab will hit the non-shortened, second jab covers shortened. Sorry I worded it poorly, I was assuming that we already knew that Jab was to cover a normal side-b, and so I was just adding that the reason Marth...

Marth players double jab to cover a shortened illusion. If a Falco hits your shield low with an aerial generally you have to just eat it and try to find an escape option. Once you are in this situation, spot dodge is risky, buffered roll works if they aren't done predictably, shine OOS will beat...
