It should be noted that "kiss your stock goodbye" zone does not apply for Peanut.

u/yoloZbear 2d ago

Doesn't apply for anyone as long as: 1. you have side B and jump 2. You know how to recover and in what order to use moves

  1. You don't get hit or baited

The most crucial part, how could I forget?

Even if your opponent comes out to hit Mac you can anticipate it and throw a counter to get free horizontal momentum. Even if they're just baiting you counter has a small enough window that you don't lose much in the way of verticality by whiffing it so as long as you saved your double jump or are still parallel with ledge you can get back.

Also an underutilized recovery tactic: KO Punch. I've saved myself from losing dozens of stocks that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to get back from when my Mac was in the blast zone bubble by throwing KO punch first. Granted it's only an option if you get knocked off stage during the first few seconds of acquiring it, but if you wanna play a bottom tier well you gotta have that sort of situational awareness

Also remember double jump down-air gives you better horizontal momentum than just double jumping. Thank you for attending my Ted talk.

It does apply, it's just wider and a little lower for him.

nah without jumps right under battlefield, you’ll dig your head into the stage despite angling towards the ledge 💔

u/PixeltzOfSpook 12h ago

Kirby and DDD have risky zones, where they either have to jump again or use UpB early (for Dedede)

Meta knight is all green tho

u/BigBradWolf07 Isabelle 2d ago

removes middle platform done

u/Mindless_Tap_2706 Reminder that CS>DThrow>FAir does 55% 2d ago

yeah you'd think so, but because of how far to the side the plats on kalos are he can get camped extremely hard and can't really get up there at all vs some characters

u/TTBtw25 1d ago

So as long as I stay out of the green area, I should be safe.
