Little Mac vs Palutena
In the matchup against Palutena, focus on utilizing Little Mac’s side tilt to disrupt her spacing and keep her on the defensive. You can absorb some of her aerials with your neutral special, allowing you to close the gap and punish her with your powerful ground moves. Be cautious of her teleport recoveries; if you predict them, try to intercept with a well-timed up smash or a quick forward smash. When recovering, use your side B to fast fall and mix up your ascent with a jump followed by up B, making it harder for Palutena to punish your recovery.
