A good mixup of crouch and shield beat sheik. I also mentioned crouch in my post, knowing that AC fair beats crouch. Sheik can jump right after AC fair to avoid getting grabbed, regardless of whether you CC'd it or not, so I would rather have shielded a fair and reset to neutral rather than just...

I don't think you corner pressure him enough. Blizzard beats ledgedash and any other getup option as well (if you space it) as you can react to him going up high with uair. Mixup using jabs in between blizzards instead of ice blocks because ice block puts you in a lot of lag and is really just a...

This leads me to another question: wasn't there an equation for how many mash inputs are needed to get out of a grab, depending on percent? Does adding the 14% of blizzard damage add any mash inputs needed for grab release, or are the mash inputs needed predetermined with the initial grab %...

Can someone link me wobble setups on a low % jiggs that just missed rest? I would have won an important set if I knew some setups

I've been trying to do what you described (AC bair into std) and I think it's too slow. Even when the bair autocancels and you interrupt with a dash back (entering the input to smash as you dash) for some reason it does not work. If I wait for nana to land and wait for her to enter a neutral...

Hey! This tech is really good! I've been using it frequently in tournament matches and it has some real potential. I'm trying to integrate it into other moves into my playstyle, though. I've been trying to integrate a lot of AC Bairs into my play and was playing around with doing a retreating...

I like the bairs that you do when he lands on a platform, I think most of the MU should be played facing away from puff. I don't like the fh uairs that you were doing when he was floating around a platform, he's just gonna fade back and hit you. Threatening sh uairs is good because it tells the...

Whenever I anticipate a missed tech and go for the jab reset, what ends up happening is that both jabs will hit them and the opponent will be returned to a neutral position that I cannot punish, presumably because I think the jab is too strong. Say this happens to Fox, a good player will be able...

After labbing this the wavedash technique isn't that hard. The buffer c-stick doesn't work as well as I'd hoped for two reasons. 1. Sometimes Nana can't move up fast enough for the regrab because it is buffered. 2. You can't blizzard in between grabs, and the reason we do handoffs is for the...

I asked some people about this at a tournament I was at and they told me I could buffer a throw after Nana's fthrow with the c-stick and Nana won't fall through. I tried it once and it worked You have to be fast but at least you don't have to do the wavedash technique which to me sounds like a...

If you get a grab on a platform, Nana will always forward throw, no matter what. The difficulty in this is that after the first hand off I can't get Nana to stay on the platform. Is there a special way to press down on the stick to make Nana stay on the platform so that she can grab again? It's...

I find it very diffucult to get out of down-air chains that go up to 80% and other combos like that. Lots of quick-hit combo characters like sonic, lucas and ness give me a very hard time. Any ideas on how to get out of these combos, keep them away, and get good hits into an edgeguard?

Grounded side-B down throw near the edge of the stage will throw them downwards but apparently it can be meteor cancelled. The main use I have for grounded side-B near the middle of the stage is obviously tech chasing, but a lot of times the opponent doesn't tech it (maybe because it is such a...

I just really got into watching competitive matches and playing seriously. I've played Melee and Brawl since I was little and now I would like to attend a tournament to test my skills. If you guys could tell me about any upcoming tournaments or competitions in the Chicagoland area I'd really...
