Pokken Tournament
I'm so bad at this game, or at least Sceptile. BUT I did get a little better since the last few matches have been pretty close. I just choke when I get them down to really low HP. I had a Lucario at 1HP and they still won lmao, I think too hard about what to do in that situation when the one that should be feeling pressured is them. I guess it didn't help that I got matched up with people a whole letter rank above me for a while.
It's a little annoying that all his projectiles are aerial based but he does have the hanging thing to mix it up. He also has lots of usefulness out of dashing, like I can do two light attacks, dash back and use his ranged command grab while they're still shielding. Or if I hit with Bullet Seed I can dash forward and hit them with Leaf Storm or the poison attack, or both, I feel like I hit with both once but I might be imagining it. If they block bullet seed I can always just grab them I guess, or Leaf Blade. I should use Leaf Blade more often, it goes pretty far and it's a counter to boot.
Also I hate fighting Braixen lmao. So frustrating. No wonder some people are adamant that she's one of the best characters in the game.
edit: okay, more leech seed + bullet seed trapping and more leaf blade works wonders. I ran into one of the people a letter rank above that beat me early on and beat them in a really close match. I brought it back from really low HP twice, I did have 1HP at one point and I just finished using up my synergy burst. We had another close match afterwards and I lost but it was nice to know that all these losses weren't useless. I love the instant fear that a mega evolution puts in people. and I beat someone in the Sceptile Ditto, though they seemed to think Sceptile was a rushdown character and didn't have a solution for my seed pressure and command grab.
