Yeah it's kinda funny. Every Zelda I've ever seen outside of random 1M GSP teleporting everywhere wifi Zeldas are super aggressive. I LOVE getting in people's faces with her. She has some quick buttons (jab, dtilt, kick, utilt, dash attack) and if she gets you with a combo starter or grab you're probably taking 25. People NEVER play with her so all they have to go on are their experiences at low GSP Zelda encounters and get cheesed by teleports (like they don't see it coming from 10 million miles away) and get salty.
I play both Zelda (my main) and Hard Mode Marth. Honestly I'm much more in your face and aggressive with Zelda than Marth.

yeah smash online is the biggest online gameplay dumpster fire I've ever seen in my 34 years of life. There's really no excuse for how terrible it is. And in that vein WHATEVER they did in the 11.0 - 11.0.1 patch made online WAY WAY WAY worse. They did something to the online buffer system that also made it SUPER CRAP. I'm constantly getting moves OOS that I didn't input. I dunno.........
