A Competitive Guide to Charizard

A Competitive Guide to Charizard

Very good overview on how to use beast mode dragon. I switched out Pikachu as my main for Charizard and am glad I did since I seem to be able to defeat even top tier listed characters with him. With this guide I feel like I can compete with him even more to the point I can face tournament level players.
Great stuff!
Extremely useful.
I've mained Pikachu since 64 but with Charizard being my favourite Pokemon, I immediately wanted to swap over but I tend to play him like Pikachu(super evasive, quick ranged attacks)
I'm practicing up with your pointers and they're really upping my game!
Loving this review. Charizard was a little awkward for me at first because I didn't understand how to use him properly.
But after some practice, I can see how he shines.
This guide is full of useful information. Looking forward to see any updates.

Sliding rock smash is great if it can be pulled off properly. Might want to add that bit in eventually. Overall great guide for a great charactercharacter!

Thanks! I'll add that in soon good recommendation!
Really liked the reading! Thanks!

I do have some suggestions, though:
- Try to highlight the moves, so it makes it easier to find in which area should you use each move.
- Don't you think it's interesting to point out that both nAir and fAir auto-cancel on landing (if done while rising SH)? I believe it's useful information, specially so you can use them while being relatively safe on landing.
- Dragon Rush. Seriously. Give this custom it's space. IMO, it's just as good, if not better than Flare Blitz.
- How about going through Zard's ATs? I've seen his Sliding Rock Smash and seems very useful. Not sure if there are others.

That's it. See ya~

Thanks!!! I'll take a look at the suggestions and add to the guide in a week or so!
"if...you want something cheap and easy, or fundamental, go elsewhere." Perfectly said! Zard is anything but those things. Obvi he's my main, and i agree with a lot stated here. As you explained, he really can be a force if you put in the work. Enjoyed the read!
Needs more info, but that is understandable as the game just came out. Good job overall.
It gives a really good understanding of how charizard works and what players are well suited to playing as Charizard. Overall it's great!
