Tips for Squirtle
-
Down Throw leads into a lot of options, like up air and forward air. You can even combo with down throw > Up air > Up B for some kills. If that doesn't work, down throw > Up B should.
-
back air is your best attack for range. use it you're having trouble getting in
-
When fighting a heavy, remember that Side B moves backwards if hit with a hard move. So if you see Ganon with his sword out, prepare to recover, even though you won't take damage.
-
Squirtle's shield pressure is nuts. On shields, spacing Ftilts, Dtilts, and finishing with a DSmash canead to a quick shield break, or pressure an option. Ftilt can also set up for Jab-locks at 70-80%
-
Just use up smash or up B and if you want to risk it use side B
-
Forward Air is really good for edge guarding. Same with back air. Back air can "combo" into itself, as can fair. I say "combo" because at higher percents, it is not true. Fair > fair at low % is good
-
Bair into jump neutral B works pretty well to a edge guard setup
-
Keep a neutral special ready and use it when someone's up-b goes too far above the edge
-
As Squirtle you should prioritize looking for combo starters you can get a fair which combos into another one or grab, you can get a grab and you also have ftilt which can loop into itself at mid
-
Short hop fair is really good spacing and pursuing tool.
-
Camp with neutral B if you didn't kill at around 100% then go for a edge guard with ivy
-
Down Throw leads into a lot of options, like up air and forward air. You can even combo with down throw > Up air > Up B for some kills. If that doesn't work, down throw > Up B should.
