    Puff vs. Samus Matchup

    Tips: 1. YOU CAN DESTROY MISSILES WITH AERIALS. If the Samus is spamming missiles at you, nairing or fairing through them is really good, since those moves have lingering hitboxes. Bair works to, though the timing is tighter. Best of all, the missile doesn't cancel the aerial, so that you can...

    Options against shielded enemy

    Tomahawk grabs do wonders against real people, but not computers. AC nair-->grab/shield is also not bad. But spaced bairs should be the safest and most common shield pressure you do. One small mixup you can do is to do the bair early to hit high on shield and autocancel or SHFFL late to hit low...

    Jiggs dtilt is better than bair

    Was derping around one day and noticed that dtilt actually has really good range plus a decent disjoint, by far the longest-reaching of jiggs' tilts. Too bad it comes out on frame 10 and does literally nothing. In all seriousness, is there ever a legitimate use for dtilt, imo one of the worst...

    question about peach.

    First off, Armada bias. Everyone looks at the best peach and the best puff and thinks, "If even Armada can't beat Hbox's puff, then the matchup has to be a counter!" This is not necessarily true; just because the top peach player struggles the hardest in this particular matchup does not mean it...

    Jiggs Solo Practice

    Does anyone have a good solo practice routine for jiggs? SSBM tutorials doesn't cover it for her and I haven't been able to find anything else on my own beyond practicing l-cancels, fastfall timings, and sometimes rest setups.

    How long did it take you to SH/SHDL consistently?

    I'm a Falco main, but I've always been frustrated with Falco's poor horizontal mobility. I've always wanted to switch to Fox, but every time I do I get frustrated with not being able to SH consistently and not being able to SHDL and get significant damage output. I feel like if I could just get...

    How to punish Marth aerial wall/approach?

    Thanks everyone! Laser to dash/wavedash back has improved my spacing a lot and seems to frustrate Marths who expect me to rush in after one or two lasers. I'm also faster with sheild-->nair/bairing them out of aerials. This has helped me a lot in many matchups, not just Marth.

    How to punish Marth aerial wall/approach?

    Falco noob here. I'm having a lot of trouble against Marths. Whenever they fair or nair towards me, I always find myself at a disadvantage. If I laser or throw out my own aerial, they usually stuff me. If I shield, they land at range and grab/dtilt stab me. If I try going to platforms above him...

    Using Crouch Cancel While Tech-Chasing

    When I play Samus, I like to abuse my cc-->dsmash/dtilt, so when my opponent misses a tech and I read get-up attack, I would really prefer to be crouching rather than shielding. However, I find that I am knocked away too far by to get-up attack for my dtilt or dsmash to follow up, even at low...
