The only flaw that matters to me most is how unviable she is.

I've been thinking. Maybe OoS N-air isn't such a bad idea in stages with platforms. It's still most likely a terrible idea if you're trying to use it purely as a punish move, but it might be different if you're trying to use it defensively in stages with platforms. For instance, on...

I forgot to mention one small detail about d-tilt. Palutena's d-tilt has a very interesting property called trample. I think you know this, but in case you don't (or in case others actually reading this don't know), if a move has a trample property, it can beat out any regular attacks (not...

The single jab idea is not bad as well. I used to use that option before, myself, until I got into using d-tilt more. Here's the frame data for both for reference: Jab 1: Hitbox Active: 8-10 FAF: 26 D-Tilt: Hitbox Active: 14-24 FAF: 40 There's a 16-frame window that leaves Palutena...

I double checked it. It doesn't reach under the ledge. :( I'm not sure, but I feel like d-tilt is still such an underrated move when an opponent is hanging on the ledge. The disjoint on it allows Palu to challenge get up attacks and a good amount of ledge aerial attacks. D-tilt ends deceptively...

Quick question. Does d-tilt reach below the ledge like u-smash? I tried checking the hurtboxes of Palu's d-tilt, but it's really hard to tell just from looking at that. From what I got, it seems like it doesn't, but I'm a pretty crappy tester.

Good to hear. Didn't know you have a Zelda, too. Good luck on the tourney!

@Bowserboy3 A little late, but how did the low-tier tourney go?

@Bowserboy3 That's correct. Every normal get up has 2 frames of vulnerability. Since Palutena takes 10 frames longer to get up to the ledge using normal get up, she also has 10 more frames of intangibility than others. Here's the actual data if you're interested...

It's good to hear that the tourney will be happening later. More practice is always better! Funny thing about Palutena's extended dash dance, actually... Her EDD's distance itself is average, so it's definitely not useless. However, the animation of how her dash ends makes it hard to tell when...

@Bowserboy3 Kmpyj pretty much posted everything you need. Palutena isn't too hard of a character imo, so it shouldn't take you too long to get used to playing as her. Good luck in the tourney!

@kmpyj Yeah, I felt like this thread needed some discussion lol. It was still pretty fun discussing about it with you. I haven't really been playing much due to college, but I have started to play USF4 again recently. I get too bored to grind, though, and, as I said earlier, I'm pretty busy...

Believe me when I say my playstyle revolves around what the MU allows. Everyone has different opinions on my style because of it. By nature, I am an aggressive player, and my Lucina and pretty much all of the characters I use in other fighting games show that. I used to lose in a lot of MUs as...

I'm getting a strong feeling you didn't read what I had to say about the Kirby MU. D-tilt is a good tool in general lol. It's even better against characters with slow mobility. It can even, you know, catch Kirby's crouch. Also, if he crouches too much, autoreticle becomes a viable option against...

I'll explain some of the MUs I experience then. Kirby Kirby is definitely a very annoying character to deal with, especially with his good combo game and the d-air plays. While this gives Kirby ways to win matches against Palutena, all she really has to do is play defensively against him...
