Players need to DI perfectly and tech roll to escape combos when playing as Etalus. First of all, Etalus is a large and heavy character meaning he can be comboed very easily. Taking either action will break the ice armor.Įtalus still has a few flaws.
This lets Etalus use Up Special to escape combos and use Strong Attacks to counter other attacks. Having ice armor gives Etalus super armor during his Up Special and Strong Attacks. The armor breaks off after Etalus takes 40% damage. After acquiring armor, Etalus is heavier and falls faster.
Neutral Special has a long startup, so it can only be safely used when the opponent is recovering or has just been killed. To get ice armor, Etalus has to stand on ice and use Neutral Special. Ice Armor is a very important tool for Etalus. Etalus' Strong Attacks all have good knockback and large hitboxes. Down Aerial is a powerful move that spikes opponents and has multiple hitboxes. Forward Aerial and Back Aerial hit opponents off the sides. Up Aerial throws opponents downward at an angle and is almost a guaranteed kill when used offstage. Many of Etalus' moves are amazing for killing opponents. Etalus' Jab can be useful at the ledge, but should not be used in the center of the stage as opponents can tech after the second hit. Forward Tilt covers a large distance and lays down ice. Up Tilt launches opponents into the air to set up for aerials. Etalus' Tilts are all good for extending combos. Neutral Aerial, Back Aerial, and Forward Aerial are all good moves to use after dash attack. His dash attack can be jump canceled into any aerial. Etalus' Forward Aerial can block most attack from the front, so it is his best aerial approach option.Īfter getting close to opponents, Etalus has many strong moves to combo the opponent. Players should use Forward Tilt and Up Special to lay down ice. Even though it is tempting to use Forward Special to coat the ground with ice, it is very punishable if the opponent parries. This allows Etalus to rapidly slide back and forth and forces opponents to guess when he will finally approach. After laying down ice, dash attack has increased speed and can be jump / wavedash canceled. His aerials are powerful killing options and his ice armor gives him both a strong offense and a strong defense.Įtalus usually relies on dash attack mindgames to approach opponents. He focuses on laying down ice to boost his wavedash and dash attack speed. Etalus mainly uses his large hitboxes and speed to overwhelm opponents.
