So I'm having this huuuge problem against spacers and people who love to backstep. Let's see, I have considerably less issues playing a Mitsu in my face than an Omega who pokes and keeps me at mid-range. Any ideas how to handle these beside blocking and gaining distance? Here are the moves that I usually use to close the gap, but a lot of them have their own probs:
1) 33B-shark: Can stop anytime, but I get crouched/hit out of it. Basically not safe
2) 44bB: Fast. Vertical. Sidestep prob.
3) 66A+B: Sidestep prob
4) 66K: the range is actually not that great. A lot of times I will 66K into a backstep and end up in front of the other guy's face
5) FC 3K: hard to see, but whiff/blocked and get punished
6) 66A: range not that great
7) 44A: decent, must use. Outranged by some 3Bs though
8) 8wr B+K: slow
9) BB: Actually has better range than most of his other moves. Steppable. But damn useful.
10) 4KB. JG/step the B. Can delay..
Then the shenanigans part:
11) JF 4AAAAA: in theory this is great; now if I can just consistently throw it even on my off days...
12) Flea hop
13) Deathcopter
14) MED 2A+B (these last 3 more often than not result in me eating something)
Any other strategies/favorite moves that you guys have to counter this issue? I feel like if Yoshi can just get something like Aeon's 66A, he will be top tier...
