Hero's Counter Picks

down b down b down b down b down b

Be careful when you are up against a G&W because of the bucket, trust me, I play G&W and online hero players are free real estate

Menu is your best ledge trap option. Space yourself so you don't get hit by a getup attack and it covers pretty much everything they could possibly do.

Neutral b can combo into side b from a long way away at earlier percentages. Down throw into fair is a true combo at earlier percentages. Psych up up throw kills at 130%

Down throw + nair + jab or up air is a great combo at low porcentages

Hero is slow like link (and his sword play feels like link too), so play patiently and don't spam down b. Doing so could cost you a stock, and only use hatchet man if you are ABSOLUTELY sure it'll hit

When you charge your fire blast, don't just shoot it. Wait until you're in the heat of battle, your opponent's distracted by the fight, and then when they're vulnerable (typically while running) fire!

Down tilt is safe on shield for most characters. And if properly spaced can lead to free punishes. Up tilt can juggle camp anyone in the game without a forced landing option.

I really feel bad for Sakurai he puts so much work onto this character and so many people don't accept the hero if it weren't for them other JRPGs would not exist be thankful to Mr.Sakurai and DQ

Alright I’ve mained Hero for a long time now, and I’ve got a few tip. Down b is a fantastic move, and it’s especially good when you get a buff... always click the buffs. It’ll make your neutral scary.

Wack and Thwack can both kill through the ice after landing Kacrackle Slash. Always a good idea to try them out after freezing an opponent at high%

Fast fall up air has a ton of combo options out of it. Try it with tilts and jabs or even a rising up air into an up air string. It's hard to land but can really trick people who don't it's an option.

If you are up a stock and the opponent is at a high percentage, use down b and look for kamikaze. but don't get baited.

Jab is a good "get off me" option, and so is grab. Psyche Up and Oomph can boost you to insane levels - an uncharged fsmash from Psyche Up breaks shields in one hit. Hatchet Man always does.

After a freeze with Karackle Slash try and time a smash attack to the moment they unfreeze. It's a gamble, but when timed perfectly the opponent has no chance for escape.

Magic Burst at the ledge is not a free edgeguard. Good stall options are able to wall it out depending on their location. On characters with particularly bad recoveries it's free real estate, though.

Don't use kamikaze unless you have low health or high damage or in a pinch* *DON'T EVER use kamikaze if you have 1 life remaining unless in a team battle

Frizz leads into followups with a low, safe MP cost. Acceleratle is one of Hero's best spells, gives him better Frizz confirms, movement, and a 50/50 D-throw confirm. Zap/Zapple is also amazing to use

Down B is a very infamous move for Hero. It situational at times, but it can be used if the RNG gods bless you. Make sure to use Down B at a safe did to select your move properly.

Most people forget that Kaclang has a very strong falling hitbox. It is very rare to find yourself in a situation where it is useful, but it can be used like a stronger Kirby down b for a deadly mixup

Try to control you MP because overusing spells can make Hero a very easy target to defeat.

Be a *******, do the magic burst off stage, who cares? Kill em at low procents with any move ya like, ya want a crit? Pray to the world tree up above, ya want a hatchet man off stage? Go for it!!

He’s a lot like Link when it comes to his sword skills, and make sure to charge up the Fire blast when the match starts! Bang and kaboom work great at pushing away your opponent if you need to select.

Cover your approaches with Zap. Use Zapple if the opponent is trying to zone you, and use Kazap for hard punishes, best if the opponent is trying to land shorthop aerials.

The Command Selection never shows the same spell twice so keep track of that and Kafrizz is a great way to capitalize on frozen opponents from Kacrackle Slash.

Stay grounded with Hero. Sure he's bad in midair, but he's also very strong on the ground.Jab deals 20% with oomph. Utilt great antiair. Dash attack deadly with buffs. Lots of breakshield with buffs.

Fire slash is a fast and cost effective move

People who say Hero is "Just RNG" are just wrong and ignorant, Menu does use RNG but amount of spells that are almost the same thing makes it consistent and you just have to substitute spells.

do not only go for his down b you can choose 2 ways of started the fight 1. charge in and use zap/zapple 2. down b get kaboom then charge in (this move is rng if there is no kaboom charge in)

Just get lucky bro

Kacklang is a good menu move to go against characters without multi hit moves

If you don’t use Hocus Pocus instantly when you see it, you are not a true Hero main

When your opponent is at around 30%+ and you have acceleratle, using frizz can combo into and ariel which can be good for killing at high percent's. Best way to hit this combo is with B-reversing

Both B reversed neutral b and menu can be used as a landing mixup. Kacklang kills opponents as you fall around 120% if they are going for a juggle.

wait for hatchet man to come up say breme and destroy CPU s

Don’t spam side and neutral b, try to use down b more, because if you use neutral and side b more, you will run out of your PM in no-time

Fully charged neutral b is strong and can combo into f-air chain

Zoom can be used offensively if your zoom places u above ur oponent (Very RNG): Zoom into Dair and then up smash (crit is kill confirm)

Hope the rng you be favorable and don't get ban of tournaments

Never use hocus pocus unless absolutely necessary. you think Mr. Game and Watch was weird? check out this guy!

Hes not ******* out yet you cant accurately judge him.

Full jab combo sets up for a tech situation that can be followed up on very well with most of his specials. Kaftizz covers every option, but if you don’t have the MP to spend, there’s cheaper options.

Where can you even get hero guys???

He's out now, and i feel that its still inaccurate. I smashed him with incineroar.

Get banned because of down B down B

STOP PLAYING THAT BROKEN CHARCTER HE RUINS THE GAME
