I love tech based characters.

I def gonna head to the lab with Tails. He looks like hella fun.

Been having a ton of fun with Tails, even though I can't do "tech skill" to save my life. Mostly it becomes a whole lot of Spin Dash > grab for me, and also a lot of Spin Dash kills. Back Aerial is a really good kill move, but surprisingly hard to land. Down Smash is slow as sin but hits pretty hard. Tails Attack > Tails Attack Jump > FAir gets used a lot when my keyboard wants to cooperate. Kirby is a real pain to fight, though. Spin Dash also has enough priority to go right through some projectiles, such as Mega Man's half-charged Mega Buster, Pikachu's Thunder Jolt, and Mario's Fireballs, making it quite a good tool if someone tries to camp.

Edit: Mostly figured out how to line up that meteor smash. Jigglypuff is a real pain for Tails, though. All of her aerials out-prioritize everything except USmash, DSmash, and the Electron Cannon. Which means I can't use Tails Attack or Spin Dash without getting flawlessly countered every single time. Or grabbed. Not even shield-grabbed, the CPUs just know their exact grab range and will grab me with pixel-perfect timing.

Great technical character. One of the deepest in the game.
Jellybean's combo video makes me wanna pick him up haha

Ssf 2 needs more tails players so respect to ppl that use him

Tail's kinda reminds me of Sonic with his usage of dspecials lol, though it isn't as bad.

I like a good Tails player, makes the match interesting.

So the Sheik v Tails MU...how many needles does it take to stop a charging Tails? I have found zero consistency in my experience. Most of the time he buzzes right through them with what I think is side-b or down-b charged. Sometimes I'm able to hit him. What's the deal there?

Tails' dspecial pierces most projectiles when cast instantly. In the case of Sheik's needles any charge of the spindash seems to block them, but my regular a attacks also blocked them so I'm supersticious it could be a needle priority thing.

I just need to know one thing. How do i deal with ichigo without getting punished to 60%

Everyone has a hard time with him. In Tail's case you have to sit in the air and cast spin dash on top of his head. A non carged spindash will pierce Ichigo's sideb most of the time. If you have platforms you can also mix it up with jumping cannons, but the Ichigo player will attempt to use utilt to attack you.

So for sideb spamming ichigo, you have to lead with a non charged spindash, after that it's up to you. At lower % I suggest spin dash chaining. But DO NOT chain dspecial with jabs. I do that out of habit and it's a generally unsuccessful combination. (sometimes it's favorable at low % though.)

I would be shocked if you got ANYTHING from those jabs. But habits are a nasty thing, i have a terrible habit of running face first into charged smashes. I can avoid uncharged ones, but if you charge it im almost always going to run into it.

Is there any legitimate use for a grab and release with tails?

Tails has a chain grab, but idk how to use it. Wavedash grabbing is kinda fun to do too, but that's if you like to do wavedash attacks.

By grab and release, i mean grab and wait for them to break out.

I couldn't say, my grabs are very rare and thus not studied.

Don't think so. Grab releases cause the same amount of frames of delay to both characters and the pushback distance is super far in SSF2

honest question. does anyone not like facing tails in a fight. because I dont see much hate coming towards this character. Its very strange.
