    Phantom Scrolls: SSB4 Zelda Matchup Thread [Discussing Sheik]

    Kirby is indeed annoying, especially with that small hitbox being harder to land your kicks on. If a Kirby is being defensive then you kind of need to do the walking approach. I kind of have to stick to tilts and fsmash for that little edge in range. Otherwise if they are floating towards me for...

    Somacruz2 Zelda Vids (COMPILATION VID ADDED) GOING TOE 2 TOE

    I watched your GAW fights. One thing I gotta say is you're not taking advantage when you and him are occupying the same space. Whenever this happens you try to roll away as fast as possible every time. Why aren't you using Nayru's instead? At least d-smash, it's faster than his. Also, when...

    Yeah, um... I need some help

    You may be switching too early to Zelda for a kill. Getting enemies to %120 and over, Zelda will have such an easy time KOing them thanks to a lack of decay on her moves. All smashes, u-tils, Lightning Kicks and u-air should all be able to kill easily. Although if you're not comfortable using...

    Starting Zelda back up, Thunder Kick tips

    this. Those unfamiliar with zelda feel safe after the first one whiffs, but Zelda can get to fairs/bairs off in one shorthop. My favorite thing to do is the TALK (Turn Around Lightning Kick). If they're standing still trying to bait you, simply jump over them and whiff a fair, then...

    Using Zelda's nair effectively.

    It's an ok move, but it's not so great when compared to her other aerials. Nair is best used at low percentages and during an opponents hitstun when they're above you, or after they airdodge. If the whole thing hits it does good damage but the problem is the move has bad priority and it's one...

    Can Zelda be Offensive while falling?

    FW and air dodging are your safest bets. Only FW into them though if they're in the middle of a move, never if they're standing still. They'll clearly shield it. Otherwise I never attack while falling.

    Zelda matchups discussion - Wisdom mainers discuss the SWF matchup chart

    I think Ike is only disadvantaged, not hugely disadvantaged. Yeah he's easy to dodge most of the time, but because nobody has perfect reactions and dodging skills, fact is you're going to take damage and Ike is going to be KOing Zelda fairly early, like 70% or so (if you're unlucky). Fighting...

    For God's Sake.

    Ironically, your secondaries are two of Snake's enemies. Falco's can chaingrab Snake easily and his lasers really mess up his dash and trap setups. And both characters can spike his recovery. Diddy has a hard time against Snake. Relatively he can dodge the traps better than most characters, but...

    Zelda matchups discussion - Wisdom mainers discuss the SWF matchup chart

    I see lots of shorthopped thunderjolts, quick attacks fairs and nair. He has a good ground game too though, since he's quick with low lag moves. I say trip him with down tilt, use NL sparingly since he's quick enough to punish it. Use d-smash more.

    Pikachu's d-smash is easily DI'd out of. I always get out of it by the second hit. And you can actually reflect thunder and have it hurt Pika you know? Pikachu likes to be in the air a lot, so u-smash is your friend.

    Zelda matchups discussion - Wisdom mainers discuss the SWF matchup chart

    I haven't fought many Olimars, but I know it's not an easy fight. First off he's small, so he's hard to sweetspot. Second, he has the safest grab in the game, it's a tether will practically no lag. I think he can grab outside of Zelda's f-smash zone. You can outrange him with Din's at least and...

    Zelda Asthetics

    Pink Red Blue Black Green Purple In that order. I like the pink dress mostly cause she gets her blonde hair back. The red however is probably my favorite color of all the dresses, it looks the most impressive. Blood colored is just appealing lol. The black dress is awesome, but the white hair...

    Zelda matchups discussion - Wisdom mainers discuss the SWF matchup chart

    Against DDD I think it's actually better to be a bit aggressive. as he's such a big and comboable character. He shorthop dairs a lot? Well from far away you should obviously Din's, but closer I suggest spot dodging followed by u-smash or u-tilt. When he's above you is when you can combo the crap...

    Is this a Diddy glitch?

    About 20% of the time or so, after I side B to gain a bit of horizontal distance for my recovery, I am unable to up B afterwards. And no, I'm not in the falling animation where I can't do anything. I press up B several times and I just fall to my death. And I've tried it three different...

    Zelda matchups discussion - Wisdom mainers discuss the SWF matchup chart

    Two things I want to correct you on Dryn: 1) Hitting Zelda during Din's never cancels the move. The fireball will always travel the maximum distance and then detonate, so if you're in the zone you can still get hit by the move despite having hit Zelda during it. 2) D-tilt can combo into four...
