Incineroar Hero Matchups and Tips

Incineroar

A Tier

Incineroar excels at grappling with opponents and punishing mistakes, making his Down Throw a vital tool for setting up combos that can lead into aerial attacks like Fair or Uair. His Neutral Special, Darkest Lariat, can effectively catch opponents off guard, especially if you anticipate their movements and read rolls. However, he struggles against zoning characters like Snake, who can keep him at bay, so it's crucial to apply pressure and maintain stage control. Mix up your recovery with Alolan Whip and Cross Chop to keep opponents guessing, but be wary of predictable patterns, as Incineroar can be punished easily if his recovery is read.

Tips for Incineroar

  • Be sure to mix up your recovery. Most of the time it is best to recover low with side special under the edge and then up b, but when your opponent is able to punish you with the low recovery mix it up
  • D-throw -> neutral B at 0% is strong. D-throw is your main combo throw and can connect to u-tilt even at higher % D-tilt is a good combo starter into fair / uair or mix ups.
  • Neutral B comes out pretty fast and will hit well do try to read rolls to hit with it. Also make sure not to play him against characters like snake and always go for battlefield.
  • Fox trotting with Incineroar is much faster than running normally!
  • Don't spam sideb/downb it's really easy to bait both of them. Dthrow,Dtilt and Utilt are the main combo starters that can combo in Fair, Nair and Uair easily. B it's good at ledge or ledge pressure
