Strategies
Approaches
Nair or Fair are good approaches. Fair is a wonderful setup move while Nair also can start some combos. If you are far from your opponent you can use thundershock at your opponents and when your next to them you can preform an attack(right after thundershock hits.
Basic use of moves/setups
• Nair: Grab/Dsmash.
• Fair: Grab/Dsmash/Utilt
• Uair: Uair for Uair juggling
• Bair: Nothing. Only for mindgames(no one expects this move).
• Utilt:Low percentage: Utilt, Usmash. Mid-high percentage: any Areal.
• Fthlt: Use sparingly. Not for setup but to "push" your opponent away.
• Dtilt: Nothing. Maybe for edge guarding?
• Upsmash: Thunder for a KO; Uair for mid percentage.
• Dsmash: Uair.
• Fsmash: Nothing. Used for Edge guard/ get opponents to the edge.
• Uthrow: Uthrow chain grabbing. Areal/Usmash. Utilt at very low percentage.
• Bthrow: Nothing. Good for getting opponents off edge.
• Dthrow: Low percentage: Usmash/Utilt/grab.
• Fthrow: Nothing.It sucks.
