Peach generally hits you at a ~45 degree angle, so when you're off stage you have time to pull grenades as you fall (see 1:40 in the first prof/armada video).

I don't think dsmash on the ledge works if you let go of the cypher at the lowest point you can grab the ledge. Also, you can generally interfere with that plan with grenades and tech the dsmash if you get hit.

Do you have a personal peach matchup list, Malachi?

I'd say Peach has a positive matchup against Ganon. Turnips are really good, and she's pretty good at comboing and edgeguarding him. It's got to be at least +1.

Hey guys, I recently got a set recorded, and because that's a are occurrence in my where I play, I've been combing it to look for bad habits as well as general things I could do better. If anyone would be willing to take a look and give me any input that comes to mind, I would be grateful...

For one thing, it's faster to wavedash out of shield than to drop shield; although, instant double jump cancel may be technically even faster. Also, even a small wavedash can mess up an opponent trying to space precisely--wavedash back->d-tilt can be quite good in that situation.

Yeah, throwing turnips offstage to edgeguard kind of sucks against people that are good with items. But I think they're much harder to react to in neutral, especially if you throw them unpredictably. Also, if you go offstage a bit before throwing them and mix that up by sometimes going...

Yeah, sometimes turnips definitely hit your opponent in the opposite direction you would expect. I've heard people claim that it happens more frequently on smaller characters moving towards the turnip--so maybe the turnip moves too far through their hurtbox before the collision detection...

Thanks for your help!

I finally got a match recorded! Can somebody take a look and help me find things to work on?

Things I noticed from watching your match against the sheik: Your turnip game was pretty sub-optimal--you seemed to just throw them from the ground and get nothing out of it in neutral--I like to throw them while approaching from the air so that I can capitalize off of their shielding the...

It seems like the problem is that there's not much to talk about, besides the small changes from melee and the new matchups--which there's a somewhat active thread for. Maybe we could start posting peach-specific smash puzzles (where you show a screenshot of a specific situation and people post...

Just tested it, Ivy can get back to the ledge after the popup faster than I can regular getup, even with no reaction time. I'm not sure if you can cover the popup with a ledgehop nair--you might have to float to stop from going too high, and then you might move too far forward to catch a fade...

Oooo, D-throw chains--I did not know that. The problem I face with low float approaches is that Ivy will usually throw out razor leaves to cover that; I could try to float above them, but unless I can get over it before she finishes the side-b animation, she can just throw out fairs/bairs to...
