Notable RPS:
    - Up > down
    - Down > neutral
    - Neutral > up


Neutral:
    1. Nair [godlike]
        - Fast fall makes this unreal
        - Landing with nair leads to good things
        - Biggest disjoint in the game?
    1. Jab [godlike]
        - If they miss tech, you can jab reset them across the stage, finish with a grab > uthrow > fast fall dair loops
    1. Up-air sharking [great]
    2. Dash attack (light usually - unless projectile or mix-up use strong)
        - combos into grab or fstrong kill or jump
    2. Grounded ustrong works as a combo starter off the ground, anti-air / anti-platform, movement mix up
        - Good raw kill option at high percent if they miss platform tech
        - Really cool angle / movement mix up, generally never a bad use of this
    4. Not great Moves:
        - Dtilt - terrible
        - Uptilt - meh, can extend an uair combo or anti-air is all it's good for
        - Dair - meh in combos as it allows opponent to tech, other than spiking off stage

    - If enemy is too high percent to kill:
        - Go for aerial strongs as callouts, ustrong is best for this, disjoint is deceiving
        - Edgeguard them well
        - Get a dash attack cancelled into grounded neutral strong
        - Grab them and walk off if they're around 150-200
        - Grounded fstrong callout if they're mashing too much on the ground or can't space well


Bread and Butter Combos:
    1. Jab or they miss tech > jab > jab...
    1. Uthrow > uair / nair
    1. Nair > nair > nair > nair > nair > nair (until easily 80-90%)
    1. Uair > Uair > (platform?) Utilt > Uair > Uair
    1. Landing nair (early) > jab/utilt/anything
    2. Grounded ustrong (as an anti-air call out) > nair / uair / dair
    - Imagination!


Advanced combos:
    - Uthrow > nair > fast fall > nair loops
        - Can grab again
        - Once they are near ledge > dair down to the blast zone with fast fall dairs


Kill confirms:
    1. Nair near ledge > fast fall dair loops
    1. Uthrow near ledge > fast fall dair loops
    1. Landing nair > ustrong (stops working with good DI over 110%)
    1. Landing nair > fstrong (stops working with good DI over 110%)
    1. Dash attack > cancel it into grounded strong, preferrably fstrong
        - If opponent misses a tech > dash attack > fstrong
    2. Dash attack > grab > fast fall dair loops
    3. Air Scooter > no tech > grounded fstrong


Raw kill options:
    1. Aerial Ustrong sharks have good disjoint, this is your primary raw kill option (kills starting at 100 on a platform or higher)
    1. Aerial fstrong is a good callout move (kills around 130 near ledge, kills late in middle of stage)
    1. Grounded ustrong call out or if they miss a tech on a platform (kills off the top later percent)
    2. Grab near ledge > walk em off death (around 150-200%)
    2. Grounded dstrong spikes when doing at the ledge against recoverying opponent
    2. Aerial dstrong delays movement and is laggy, kills off the top when opponent spikes against a platform
        - Also spikes against stage for combos
        - Spikes off stage
    2. Spike with dair offstage (when rushing down offstage opponent)
    3. Grounded fstrong is good two-hit move with range, but slow, easily avoidable


Specials:
    1. Air scooter mixes up movement in air, forces a tech chase if hits
    2. Side-b: Good range zoning tool, edge guard tool
        - 100% avatar state: "get off me" option with big aoe, can drift a little bit backwards, not super safe
    3. Up-b: Aangs recovery, go low, or go high and press b again to go down fast and do damage (kills at 200%+)


Ledge trapping:
    1. side-b is free easy
    1. grounded dstrong spikes
    1. Hold shield > grab / nair
    1. Nair spam


Edge guard:
    1. Dstrong spikes and is big
    1. Dair if you read or run after them
    2. Scooter can gimp, lets you hover for a bit near ledge
    4. (Nair pops them up, so not ideal unless oblina to gimp her recovery)


Recovery:
    1. Air dash away from blast zone seems to momentum cancel somewhat
    1. Scooter stops movement, always use this to mix up timings
    1. Up-b over ledge and fast down, or use to get to ledge
    2. Strong moves delay movement slightly
    3. Meme: Go under stage to other side


Grabs:
    - Uthrow: combo starter > uair / nair / dair / ustrong
    - Dthrow: Tech chase / kill off the side
    - Fthrow: Basic throw
