Intro
Juggling is controlled anti-air pressure. You are tracking landing resources and forcing predictable descent, not endlessly chasing with up smashes.
Practical Examples
- After launcher, position under landing lane and wait for drift before swinging.
- Cover platform tech options with delayed anti-air timing.
- Punish panic airdodge by holding ground and striking landing lag.
Common Mistakes
- Jumping first and losing under-positioning.
- Swinging before confirming landing route.
- Ignoring opponent double-jump usage.
Focus First
Train one launcher into juggle route and one anti-air reset when combo ends.
In-Match Adjustments
- If opponent lands aggressively, shield once then punish.
- If they drift out, keep center and trap re-entry.
- If they airdodge often, delay button and catch landing.
Quick Tips
- Positioning under opponent matters most.
- Count jump and airdodge before committing.
- Resetting juggle is still a win.
