Charizard Hero Matchups and Tips

Charizard

S Tier

Charizard excels in dealing damage and securing KOs with powerful moves like back air and Flare Blitz, making him a formidable force in close combat. Utilize his Flamethrower to zone opponents and rack up damage, while landing a falling neutral air can lead to a true combo into up smash or grab at low percents. However, be cautious of his slower movement speed and vulnerability when using Flare Blitz, as it can leave you open to punishes if missed. Charizard also struggles against fast characters that can pressure him effectively, so focus on using his aerial mobility to maintain distance and capitalize on openings.

Tips for Charizard

  • B-air is one of Zard's best kill moves. It's very big and pretty safe on block. Fair warning though, it's gonna take bit of practice to land a falling B-air on someone grounded. (it's pretty slow).
  • falling n-air into up smash or grab is a true combo at low percents. his ground movement speed gives him a big advantage over most heavies. n-air and up smash for keeping people off of you
  • Landing up air combos into grab at low percents, back air at mid percents and itself at high percents. Good luck landing a falling up air though, the hitbox sucks.
  • Up-smash and upB out of shield are your fastest options but upB is commital/punishable even with it's super armor and up-smash doesn't hit very low, especially in the back, so be careful.
  • Fire blitz is a treat in disadvantages but use it only when you really need it. To clutch the game, only game 5 last stock.
