Tips

1. Juggle your opponent with nairs as much as you can.
2. Practice Dash Jump Nairs/ Reverse Nairs.
3. Slight Nair is your main combo.
4. Sair is your best kill option.
5. Search for gimps because Dair and Gp on axe is really good.
6. Do not overextended.
7. Edge guard w Nlight to catch jumps off the ledge. Slight to catch recovery.
8. If they are playing floaty, Search for Dairs and punish them.
9. Dont let your opponent get to close to you. Use Dlight, Nlight to keep them away.
10. If a player is playing you at a point blank range. Dlight is your best option.
11. Practice eggdrops (Throw weapon down, Pickup, Dair) Insane for edge guarding.
12. Sair off the wall if youre being edge guarded.
13. Searching for sair to kill can be difficult sometimes so keep building up damage instead of getting punished for sairs and eventually your dlight, nlight will be able to kill.
14. Look for Falling sairs a lot. It has insane force to it.
