Smash Practice

Practicing with level 9 CPU

My focus has been on defense right now

Shield: L Button

Spot Dodge: Shield + Down on Left Stick (momentary invincibility with zero knockbacks)

Dodge: Shield + Left or Right on Left Stick (quickly roll to avoid attacks or get a to position quicker than normal movement)

Air Dodge: Shield While in the Air

Fast Fall: Flick the Left Stick to quickly reach the ground or nearest platform

As I am playing with Mario I am seeing his weakness is reach. I have to be able to get in close. Pulling off a Spot Dodge followed by a simple combo feels like progress for me.
