Simon
C TierSimon excels at controlling space with his projectiles, particularly the Axe and Cross, which can force opponents to approach while racking up damage. Use Holy Water to set up frame traps and edgeguard effectively, and remember that his Uppercut can be a reliable escape option after shielding attacks. However, Simon struggles against fast characters that can close the distance quickly, as he lacks reliable defensive options and can be punished heavily if his projectiles are dodged. Positioning is key; maintain distance to leverage his strengths while being cautious of aggressive rushdown tactics.

Tips for Simon
- You got a lot of projectiles; careful spacing and keeping some distance will be the best way to play
- Use your up B immediately after shielding a hit, there are very few moves in the game that can't be punished this way. You can even reverse the up B if your opponent is attacking you from behind.
- 2/2: Use projectiles to frame trap & combo opponents. Grants options to approach, maintain stage control, & score KOs. Use your options based on the situation (using spaced or KO attacks). ~KyoKyle64
- Down tilt off of stage. No, really. It gets the opponent off of ledge really easily, and you can always get back up unless you're an actual idiot. It's a great set up for edgeguarding, where he excels
- 1/2: Use Simon’s projectiles to rack up damage, and prevent opponents from approaching you. His projectiles force opponents to approach and limit their options. . . ~KyoKyle64
