How do i approach Zelda?

[.selebu]

Okay, i have been having problems with Zelda lately.
I cant stay away from her because of Dins
I cant spam her because of Nayrus
I cant come from the air becaus of Up-Smash
I cant come frontal because of Side-Smash
I cant come from behind because of Down-Smash

So, is the only way to get close to her to wait for an opening?
And if so how do i survive Din spamming?
I can hold up that shield for only so long

I feel your pain..

The best advice for dodging din fire is just to airdodge, but just make sure you know teh timing of it exploding. You can qac around it a little bit.

You can try to force him to use naryu's by spamming, takes away his ability to use din's fire. Then once he gets in the habit of reflecting thunderjolts.

Mindgames.

Examples, empty full how so it looks like anoter thunder jolt then attack with fair or something. Be unpredictable.

Once, i hadn't tried recently, but I played really aggressivly to the point of giving Zelda no room to breathe and did fairly well. Might've been because my friend choked and wasn't sure waht to combat it with but he seemed to work. Just watch out for the downsmash and upair if your taking it mano y mano.

What ForestSage said, somewhat.

Distance yourself so that you can spam thunderjolt but still have time to react before it hits you. It only goes so far, and reflecting it doesn't increase the distance it goes. Ideally, distance yourself enough to Double Input a QAC following the thunderjolt to get up in Zelda's face.

I usually approach zelda (with any character really) just by charging, she'll just keep spamming din if you dont approach right away, and pikachu is pretty fast, you should do fine,

the zelda matchup can be quite terrible at times. try to stay below her and use more usairs than you usually would. jsut remember to ever use skullbash near her due to the spike ability.

you could also try throwing off their timing when assaulting from the air. ive quit playing with zelda against stealth becuase even though i SH nair with zelda then FF into more attacks he can disrupt my timing by simply backing off then making my moves predictable. if you dont understand what im saying, basically its mindgames.

Airdodge and QAC is my way around them

also you can still spam any character with a reflector just BE ready for it to be reflected and bait them out and punish. :D

Try SH jolts as you appoach, and be ready to airdodge or jump again as she reflects them. Keep her pressured and always try to move forward.

She is going to only have so many options when those jolts are coming her way, which you can use to your advantage. Also the jolts will keep her from using Dins too much along the way.

She's bound to catch on sooner or later, but it could be worth a shot once or twice.



You can try to keep her guessing with the d-smash, it might not do too much good but its quick. Keep her moving and take it to her when she's in the air, most of her air game is easier to read and weaker than her ground game. (Just watch for the kicks!)
