My Goddess may be a bit too slow. :(

[Endei]

My Goddess has been spending too much time in the holy springs and not enough time in the boxing rings...

Does anyone else feel like she could use a buff in speed? I mean. She's a goddess. If Captain Falcon can move quicker than her so can she.

And on top of that i'm having a hard time finding out what her RELIABLE KO moves are?

Reliable as in, not her smash attacks. They're too readable.

I just think she needs to be buffed in her speed and she should be able to attack after her Up B warp maneuver.

Could anyone pass me some suggestions?

I think her default speed is fine, especially her dash. It's quicker than most other dashes.

Also she becomes exceptional fast when you're running a custom set with light weight. If she had any more speed in addition to to light weight she'd be hard to control.

As for kill moves her main ones are u.smash, f.smash, d.smash (for rolls mainly since the reach is less than f.smash), uair and bair. I believe her dash attack can kill too at higher percentages. Setups for these will mainly stem from down throws and jabs (first hit only). For instance:

Down throw > dash > u.smash/uair
Jab > f.smash

Palutena's main problems come from her laggy tilts and recovery on pretty everything she does. You have to play very technical with her and make every hit count. One slip up can put you in a bad situation and cost you the lead.

She has the 10th fastest running speed and the 14th fastest walking speed.

up-air can kill early. especially from d-throw on a platform.

Her tilts and smashes are slow, everything else about her is just as fast as you could hope for.
