- 5. Sair is your best kill option
- 6. Search for gimps because Dair and Gp on axe is really good
- 7. Do not overextended
- 8. Edge guard w Nlight to catch jumps off the ledge. Slight to catch recovery
- 9. If they are playing floaty, Search for Dairs and punish them
- 10. Dont let your opponent get to close to you. Use Dlight, Nlight to keep them away.
- 11. If a player is playing you at a point blank range. Dlight is your best option.
- 12. Practice eggdrops ( Throw weapon down, Pickup, Dair ) Insane for edge guarding
- 13. Sair off the wall if youre being edge guarded
- 14. Searching for sair to kill can be difficult sometimes so keep building up damage instead of getting punished for sairs and eventually your dlight, nlight will be able to kill.
- 15. Look for Falling sairs a lot. It has insane force to it.
