The Ivysaur Fanclub!

[The_Court_Jester]

In this topic, we discuss Ivysaur combos, strategies, mindgames, you name it. Any discussion of Ivysaur is fair game!

Anyway, I've found a small combo that does probably around 20% damage at lower percentages. Down-Throw and immediately use Up-B. The Up-B is sweetspotted, dealing more damage and knockback. Also works for a basic "get away from me" thing. Sorry if old.

 

[mickeyk90]

Wow I'll try that combo out thanks alot!

 

[DDRKirby(ISQ)]

interesting. i've always wanted more opportunities for sweetspotted up+b's...

 

[Fearmy]

Nair, and if last hit doesn't connect, Bullet Seed

 

[fire_wulf]

One everyone should know and use is the bair into forward tilt. And if they are at low enough damage.. follow up with down tilt. good knock back and damage.

 

[Medic]

I find a good pattern to use is side throw off the edge, followed by a razor leaf and a f-smash tends to be a hard wall to come back from.

 

[Squirtle_Squad]

This kind of thread is a good idea there should be one for all the pokes

 

[marthsword]

I made a thread about how Ivysaur is underrated, (I ranted a lot). I am a true Ivysaur lover. I love grass starters. I am so bad*** that I chose Meganium as a starter for Johto. Anyway, I love Ivy. Everything about him.

And yeah, I've always used bair > f-tilt to whoever said it.

Bair is just all around awesome. Perfect for that LITTLE bit of a spacing you need, has a HUGE hitbox, a hitbox in front of you, can be comboed out of...

 

[The_Court_Jester]

Nair to B neutral seems pretty good. Is there a way to DI out yourself, but still bet in the Bullet Seed?

Also, is retreating Fairs a good idea? It seems plausible, but hard to connect. When I'm stalling and need to switch to Charizard, I need more then spamming shield grabs and Razor Leaf. And the occasional Bair for spacing.

 

[DDRKirby(ISQ)]

retreating fairs is sure as hell better than approaching fairs.

 

[The_Court_Jester]

I don't approach with Fairs, except when I go in and DI out. Or when I'm hitting them off the stage. I usually approach with either a shield grab or a SURPRISE DASH. Or wait and punish with a Ftilt.

I play a little Wario on the side, and a shorthop Dair is a pretty good approach, dealing around 16% at best. I've noticed Ivy's shorthop Nair ends before a shorthop and looks pretty good, though it's probably harder to approach with. Can it be used for a pseudo-Nair Shuffle?

 

[pokemon_legend]

the squirtle squad is much better then this place if its a fan club you need members duh

 

[Leahdybug]

Anyone adore upsmash i dooooo makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I kill people at 65%.

 

[TheLake]

Mhhhm i love me some upsmash. You all get high fives for having such good taste by the way.

I think down throw to uair is more reliable then the up B at lower percents but both can be DI'ed out of anyways so thats just another option. I find Bair to forward smash can be effective somtimes as well. Upair to Up smash is a fun one.

Oh and we cant forget squirtles down b to bullet seed. Punish those punishers! ^_^

 

[mikalaranda]

Nair to uptilt to a quick uair is my favorite combo to pull off. Ivysaur's def my fav

 

[MysticKenji]

<3 Ivysaur.

Also, I've done Bullet Seed -> Usmash before.
It was too good.

 

[TheLake]

Dooood back throw kills! O_O

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUarVGNbc7o quite a finale ey?

Ivys too goood!

 

[ice_cream_man]

or utilt to bair to bullet seed to u smash to uair to dair? to f smash? ill try to get a vid up.

 

[Dizzynecro]

Lol now when i play pokemon with my ivysaur the first move i always think to use is usmash, but there is no such move.

 

[peeup]

Rofl... Same thing here but for bullet seed, then I'm like "Crap, that move's freakin awful here!!"

Anyway, at lower percentages, I like a good d-throw u-air. Doesn't always hit, but it feels good when it does.

the squirtle squad is much better then this place if its a fan club you need members duh

I'm thinking this club does need members...

 

[DDRKirby(ISQ)]

NO

[The_Court_Jester]

On the DThrow thing...

It seems light characters go straight up, so Uair, and heavier characters go to the side to eat an Up B.

 

[Retro Gaming]

Ivysaur needs more loving. D=

 

[TheLake]

True dat...true dat

 

[ShadowDigo]

I need some aproaching techniques with Ivy. I don't think that only short hop razor leaf is enough. Anyway, great thread.

 

[Retro Gaming]

Don't do it. =P

Ivy's aproach game is one of the worst parts about the character, so I'd just force the opponent to come to you with Razor Leaf. Otherwise, I think that you should pressure your opponent towards the edge with Fairs or Bairs, and then DI'n away from them, out of grab-range.

Good surprise: Dash canceled dash attacks. (Dash forward, pause for a second, and hit A)
