Okay, You saw the title. That's it. I'm going to teach you how to play little mac the "Right way" or at least the way that will get you the most wins.
This is a beginner to intermediate guide
(this is obvious)
Step 1:
DON'T START WITH A DASH ATTACK!!!
I can't tell you how many people I see run in and the FIRST THING THEY DO... is well ya know. Dash attack. If you've ever seen Alpharad on youtube you know that you of all things shouldn't dash attack. It's slow, it's not much percent, it's not easy to follow up. Just don't use it very much.
Step 2:
Learn how to bait with little mac
This sounds simple right?
"stand around and wait for your opponent to do something" you're thinking.
WELL NO
It's just like if you are going fishing. You don't just drop your fishing pole in the water without a hook or worms.
You have to do attacks that you know won't hit your opponent. Use your jab mostly because it will beat out most weak projectiles. (like samus's missiles,or duck hunt's clay pigeons). And it creates the most noise which will annoy your opponent to no end
Step 3:
use little macs downwards tilt.
a downwards tilt is the attack that isn't a smash attack
It has a hurtbox(the area in which someone will get hurt) active on frame 3. You know what this means?
This means if you use this they can't grab you (unless they have tether AKA link,toonlink,Samus,Lucas).
Little Macs down tilt sets up an opponent perfectly for a sideSmash at low percents and at high(er) percents a side B.
Step 4:
Dash around for no reason.
This will confuse the opponent online and make them think that you are planning something when in reality. You don't have to be. If you are good for you but All you have to do to make your opponent nervous is dash from side to side on the opposite side of the stage.
Step 5:
Abuse his side smash.
Little Mac's side smash attack has little to no ending lag (time it takes for him to be ready to do other stuff)
In the time it takes the opponent to try and grab you from their shield and you've side smashed. They are gonna get a hard fist-to-face conversation.
Step 6:
recovery problems.
More often than not people tend to forget about KO punch being an option when it comes to recovering with Little Mac. If someone hits you off stage and you have a KO punch. Start mashing that B button because that's your only hope of recovery with little mac.
The only other thing that can help you recover will be your wall jump. Practice this and google how to do it because I am no good at describing it.
Step 7:
Killing your opponent.
That is the goal of the game right?
Generally using your up smash and side smash will make sure you kill your opponent relatively easily. If you want to play it safe you can use your sideways tilt(the not smash attack that's a two hit combo).
If you get annoyed of your opponent rolling use your down smash slightly more but be careful. It will leave you open.
Done
You've learned how to play Little Mac for the most part. Just don't forget to NOT USE DASH ATTACK.
Have a great day
Smash on...
