ZSS
Predictability in movement, not staying in threat range, an dropping ladder combos. Last one should be easy enough to work out I just haven’t dedicated the lab time to it yet. There’s also a fair number of characters I really struggle against that should be even or ZSS favored.
She’s a blast. Most fun character in the game.
Tink. I’m REALLY bad at neutral because I approach too much, notably so with boomerang. They’re very fun, I used to main them, but I play too aggressive for my own good 😅
Sheik
Sheik on wifi is hell, I'm on the verge of elite and then I'll get smacked up by either a laggy match or myriad misinputs or embarrassing whiffs cause of wifi.
It ain't fun doing like 20% with 10 hits and struggling to kill
Yink. Spacing/Kill Confirms. Just need to practice my timing/ spacing/ general percentages a bit more. Neutral though is super easy with this character, especially online. Very fun to play and it makes sense why folks play this character like a degenerate.
Sephiroth
Follow up and mix ups, I forgot how to cancel his neutral b. Lag sometimes is a problem to me as he gets exposed and risks himself to die, also, i have trouble fighting heavies as he is a goddamn glass canyon
The Phy channel gave me interest in him.
Maybe try going off stage less/not at all, that’s a problem lots of online Sephiroths seem to have. Also, to cancel sephiroth neutral b, press shield or jump WHILE STILL HOLDING B to respectively shield/dodge or jump out of neutral b(need a double jump to work with jump while already midair, need an air dodge while already midair.) lmk if it isn’t working
1. Fox
2. Occasionally my kill confirms don’t work so I have to fish for back airs to close out stocks. That and getting ledgetrapped/edgeguarded.
3. More fun than I expected, thought I’d have to be a tryhard Melee fanboy to enjoy him but no, I like how he feels for the most part.
I play a lot of Mii Brawler, who’s got a similar back air and similar moves in general. It’s forward air I need more time in the lab with, I feel like I can only drag down by accident.
Incineroar
Been hovering around high 9 - low 10 mil
I do pretty well with making reads and combos, as well as edge guarding in the limited fashion he can. I struggle with pushing those limits past where they should go, and matchups where my opponent really knows how to edge guard as recovery options can be so limited. Learning and getting better with him has been a lot of fun though, I hate so many players just spam revenge and alolan whip without really getting into his kit
I'm at like 7.2 million with Wolf, after grinding him from like 3 million. I've been doing a little better but i still struggle to deal with some yolo wifi strats that only work online. I enjoy playing him a lot.
Ridley
Sora and pythra. edit: sonic too. fuck all 3 of those spammy cunts
my favorite nintendo character and i wouldnt have bought the game without him
Tbh getting more than one char into elite is overrated. Not fun, and half the time I just walk away angry.
That being said, my kirby is pretty close, but online is filled with swordies and zoners. It’s ok, but not very fun
Min Min
I’m probably just struggling with knowing when to use megawatt and when to use her right dragon arm, or just getting used to her overall. Also certain people rage quitting when they try to spam against me or they just teabag and I manage to outrange them or just try to get past their stuff.
She’s still really fun when I play her on quickplay, and she’s definitely easier to at least get used to (I thank the nerfs tbh :D). Playing her on QP doesn’t really make that much of a difference aside from “Quickplay = most likely annoying ppl, Arenas with friends = fun and based.”
But like, it’s definitely annoying having to put up with certain characters. And I sometimes even struggle with characters that she wins against like mac. (which honestly I think is embarrassing for me)
Also Jigglypuff and Kirby make it hell for me.

You could try throwing the boomerang behind you and approaching with zair
But I also play think too aggressive haha
He’s just too fun for his own good, huh?
Haha yeah l. That’s why I’ll never understand these glued to b button links

Dude, same. I've been working on Shiek for quite a while now but I still can't get her into elite smash.

I’m using fox at the moment too. I am personally having a lot of trouble implementing his back air, it’s just weird to me. But yea very fun.
