Win Condition Checklist
- Avoid challenging grenades and traps head-on, then burst through the gap with dash pressure or Neutral Air and carry the advantage to the ledge.
- After blocking Jab 2, Jab 3, Forward Tilt (1), Forward Tilt (2), Up Tilt, Down Tilt, answer immediately with Grab (10f), OOS Nair (9f), OOS Uair (8f), Up B (9f) so the opponent cannot keep the turn.
- Do not force a challenge on the relatively safer options. Take the landing or escape route first, then punish the next commitment.
- Finish stocks by extending ledge pressure and landing traps instead of overcommitting to one hard read in center stage.
Actions to Avoid
- Giving up the intended game plan and fighting extended scrambles at the opponent’s best range.
- Swinging after every relatively safe option and feeding the whiff punish or reset the opponent wants.
- Winning a defensive exchange and then letting the game drift back to center instead of keeping the stage advantage.
- Chasing too hard for the kill and exposing your own weak recovery or landing timings.
