Having difficulty dealing with pressure is a pretty big weakness for some characters, such as [[Yoshi]], whose extremely limited [[OoS]] options without platforms and lack of reliable [[approach]] moves with considerable range gives him trouble against characters who can easily shield pressure him, and characters who can easily outrange his approaches (such as {{SSB|Kirby}} using his up tilt in ''Smash 64''). | Having difficulty dealing with pressure is a pretty big weakness for some characters, such as [[Yoshi]], whose extremely limited [[OoS]] options without platforms and lack of reliable [[approach]] moves with considerable range gives him trouble against characters who can easily shield pressure him, and characters who can easily outrange his approaches (such as {{SSB|Kirby}} using his up tilt in ''Smash 64''). | ||

Sometimes, situations occur where an opponent does not cover an option because it is known by both players to be inferior to other options, or is otherwise thought to be something "they would never do". Recognizing that the opponent doesn't expect something can make it notably more effective. A common example is Ike's forward smash; while it should generally never be used without a read or a setup, successfully throwing it out when the opponent doesn't expect it can result in a surprise hit. | Sometimes, situations occur where an opponent does not cover an option because it is known by both players to be inferior to other options, or is otherwise thought to be something "they would never do".
