Defensive Neutral with Peach: How to Deal with Rushdown Characters

[@Sonrioking]

I’m pretty guilty with the shielding and standing still. These kind of videos help me readjust my playstyle!

[@Ralts1]

I have a shield habit too! It's always better to be moving though to avoid your opponents attacks.

[@bruhan1m3]

yesss! this is what I need! tysm dude I’m trying to get back into playing smash so these guides are defo very helpful

[@litpeople5498]

Nice video! I really struggle with approaching, so it's good to hear neutral is going to be defensive for the most part.

[@Ralts1]

Don’t approach unless you have to with Peach. If you have a lead, make them come to you. It’ll make your life so much easier.

[@joe8198]

Your videos are honestly so helpful, really hope you can continue to make them! Would love to see more neutral guides or character specific matchups, maybe even where you think peach fits into the current meta

1:15 Reminded me of Smash 4 tier lists so much I thought some of the pictures *were* from Smash 4. Good times

[@refreshinglemonade3426]

This has helped me as a melee player, I couldn't find a vid like this for melee peach but this can be applied too

[@stompsalot]

ooo thought this was really helpful, with a nice differentiation between play options with good examples :)

[@tylrbellexoxo6818]

Your videos have improved my peach like no other. People are actually scared of my peach now bc of how I move, ty for the vids

[@Ralts1]

Awesome! Glad to hear!

[@Skultzzz]

Good job Ralts_1.Keep it going bro.I am trying to main peach and every strategy and tech makes it more clear.Still having a hard time though online peach is 40% lower

[@Ralts1]

Don't feel bad about online peach. She is, I believe, one of the hardest characters to play well in lag.

[@eltujo]

Nice informative video, keep going!!

[@marcyvampyqueen]

Oh lord that falcon was mashing hard as hell

[@rookeyji5177]

I think you shoudlve went into parrying because it can def help in matchups like cloud and ike

[@itzmarz3494]

I know I’m late but This video helped me a lot I fight a friend a lot in this game and he has 5k+ hours and he’s super aggressive he is always rushing me down no matter what

[@egman-kat]

I like how when you said you would talk about tbe nuetral you showed a clip of peach using a bunch of float cancel nairs

[@Ralts1]

Wait till you find out about back air

[@user-sy2zo3bp7v]

Great video! All of them are great! However, is there anymore videos of dadandymans games?? I can’t find any and his movement is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Would really like to study it

[@Ralts1]

You can play him in the peach discord, if he is still around. I have a folder of 10 matches I played with him in 2019. I try to go through them on stream.

[@yk_jae2]

Nice keep it up, very helpful- 🪐🤍

[@RedSkyWhisper]

"Aggressive play" means the next videos is on how to punish those annoying zoner characters?

[@Ralts1]

It’s an approaching video. Sort of. There’s no magic secret to it, fighting zoners is a pain without good speed. That’s where all of Peach’s worst matchups come from.

[@icebear6757]

dandyman is insane oh my lord

[@Ralts1]

I don't know if he is still around, but you might be able to play him in the peachcord matchmaking.

[@0MujaKina0]

The falling nair is very useful!😐 I use it a lot!😂

[@CLOUDS-tm2vj]

I play like dandyman but if he didn't do djcff correctly very single time and i have a bad shield habit, but i don't know where i got it from cus it definitely wasn't melee

[@JoshFloodDancer]

tysm

[@salj.5459]

Why do you think Ultimate is a defensive game? I don't disagree, I'm curious about your reasons.

[@Ralts1]

Due to the way the game is designed, it is going to be more beneficial in most instances to play a more defensive game. Projectiles are very good in this game, stages are large, and lots of characters have big moves. IMO there are very few "rushdown" characters, or characters that would rather approach than sit back (captain falcon, fox, etc.) Evidence of this being the case: high-tier placements for characters like mega-man, pac-man, ROB, and Samus to name a few. Camping is also a very prevalent playstyle, and it is generally considered an issue if your character can't deal with camping (like Peach's losing matchups). Also the fact that timing out is a viable win condition in a lot of instances.

The internal spinach gully learn because doctor noteworthily level underneath a telling attack. inconclusive, splendid manx
