After hours of lurking around the Zelda boards, I'm finally making some sort of progress. Yay.
I've been getting more hardcore into Zelda practice lately, so I guess I'm maining her again, like with Brawl.
So far, I'm using DSmash to punish a lot, which I want to avoid. I'm trying to use more DTilt/UTilt strings. I've come up with a lot of cool combos/followups. I just need to get into the habit of using them when I can.
Additionally, I really need to get rid of old For Glory rolling/spotdodging habits. There are always so many moments that I could have done some damage if I just didn't spotdodge every time my attack whiffed. I tend to do that on instinct.
I'm also learning a bit more about specific matchups (like Ness, Mario). After looking at Zelda's frame data, I also have a much better idea of what I should and shouldn't be going for. I just need to practice incorporating them into my actual matches, since they seem to go right out the window when I start.
Oh, and I'm actually using elevator now. You're welcome.
