Hey! I've been playing SSF for a long time now, and i really liked ichigo's power in the 0.9b, i played with every character but i got so used to ichigo's moves that i felt he died when the beta launched. I miss it when he did his up-special and everyone was sort of pulled in by the wind thing, plus, i noticed it's a little more difficult to do it without jumping accidentally, idk... al the other changes in him are fine for me.

Is it possible for him to perform bankai or for goku to go super saiyan?

But on a side note I really like how Ichigo plays. He's super fun!
Thanks for replying if you do!

Nope, them turning into those is only doable with final smashes which aren't currently in beta.

Instead of Bankai form for his Smash Move, what about Mugetsu? Not as a transformation but as an attack. Would be pretty flashy.

I am a pretty terrible Ichigo main. If you want to help, I have some vids of some matches I lost, so you could pick up on habits, mistakes and missed opportunites I didn't see

Continuing from Assault's previous thread here.



Resisting urges and habits is necessary for playing well. If you stick to certain habits your opponent will read you and punish you hard. You should mix it up often, use your up tilt and ftilt too. Only use Fsmash or Upsmash when you see a clear opening or when your opponent is helplessly falling towards you from a recovery or something. Dsmash on the other hand is better for covering rolls and techs because it makes you invincible against any counter attacks your opponent might be planning before hitting them hard. As for juggling and landings, use Utilt and Uair. They're way more reliable and harder to counter. Uair also finishes at high percentages. Be patient and wear your opponent down before trying to take a stock.

Try recovering from upwards instead of going down and grabbing the ledge. Side b-ing into the middle of the stage well behind edgeguarders is a safe option as is piercing straight through them. Remember, Side-B makes you invincible till you reappear with an attack that can interrupt so it's a really safe option. If you keep falling short, aim for the stage when you're high up in the air instead of the ledge.


Dash attack is better for hit and run/surprise attacks/defending your self through a turnaround dash attack than mixups or setups. Down-B is an approach option when you're above the enemy. I find that it moves a bit too fast for some opponents to juggle in time and cuts through them. It's also a stall then fall so predict when you're opponents about to finish you in a juggle and use it just before then.


Rushing down is better for Ichigo as he's not that much of a good zoner and can't really rack up damage while playing safe outside of Getsuga Tensho. Nair, Bair, Fair and Utilt are all great followups to hitting an opponent. Fair especially is useful because it moves you towards your opponent as well.


Using it while your opponent is recovering is the best time for a charged Getsuga Tensho. . It makes them either have to go over or under it which sets them up for a fair starter or dair finisher, and if it hits, it racks up some good damage and immobilizes your opponent so you can hit em. You don't necessarily have to charge it till it's released on its own. You can just charge it till the blue aura is replaced by wind.

Good. Do that. Shieldgrabbing is one of my favorite defensive options, it's really useful for halting reckless attacks.


Ummm, in that case, can I ask a favor? Could you please record the replays I attached (In a rar) and keep them until I get a computer I can upload em with? I play on a dinosaur PC so I can't really record replays on anything so with every patch I lose some good replays. Could you keep these for me? You can use the Ichigo replay (Omae o kiru ze) to see my Ichigo in action and learn too.

I would use d-smash more, but the Knockback is so negligible (it doesn't kill till way past 200%) so unless it sets up for something else, it seems more like an area of effect attack for annoyance than a hard punish. I know I must use his smashes better though, spamming and hoping for hard reads can only get me so far!



I guess the only way to practice that is to force myself to recovery with it in matches. I was hoping that by some magic I could practice it in training mode without insane levels of dexterity in getting myself launched offstage with jumps intact at the angles I need. Will practice though.




Huh, and it seemed like such a good approach option if you didn't solely use it, Though the angle and lag makes comboing off it hard, so I guess it is better for hit and run. I kinda used it as a hit and be vaguely agrresive after it hits rather than resetting to neutral like hit and run would suggest.

Thanks for the advice on Down B as well, just used it in a match, and the fox just whiffed an f-smash while I stalled before dropping.



This I know all too well. Fair is stupid good for pressure and strings crosstage, like a mini Smash 4 sheik.




Yes, upon further inspection, I often use Neutal-B correctly, but don't try to follow up on it. Will try to improve on that though. Thanks for the info in the last sentence. Legitimately did not know that.




I would be happy to, however, unless there is something I am missing, you haven't attached anything to your message. Could you check to make sure you did, and if you did, where do I go to I on the page to be able to download it?

It's a hard punish on the damage dealing aspect. If your opponent isn't damaged and is being reckless, Dsmash can damage then heavily. Afterwards you can follow up with Uair.



Actually the best way to practice is to keep on playing. You'll get it down eventually. Also a neat trick is to Fair toward the stage when you're away from it. Those small boosts help.

That's good. The move became a lot more useful after the devs buffed it a little.

A good way to use fair is feint attacks. Back up so your opponent closes in before suddenly fairing into their faces.

That's all for now. Post again if you need any more advice. I play everyone so I can help for any character.

Finally, his Getsuga Tensho is now somewhat worth fully charging

Ichigo is a good boi

His new taunt looks nice, but looks like it has long lag, so 7/10

Ichigo is too easy of a spam character. like he's off balanced offense wise. which may be infuriating for newcomers playing against him
