General:

• From the peak of the fullhop she has a lot of range; even more range with pound
  • Directly under Puff is the best spot for Fox vs Puff
  • She'll often retreat to one of the side plats: read left or right and get her!
• If you're standing outside of this range, she'll sometimes double jump to extend her cone
  • SUPER slow, run under her when she does that
• Watch out for Up-Air from 20% up
  • She's either gonna do landing upairs or FH upairs to read your FHs
  • Don't dash FH in from corner EVER

Positioning

• Puff bad in corner
• Puff's strongest position is standing on the inner side of side plat
  • You don't really have a hard counter to this, but:
  • Don't let her push you to the corner with the range of wd off bair/pound
  • Try to be in an unpredictable spot underneath instead
  • e.g. Dashing past her and then FH backairing to center is good
• Puff offstage
  • When she's low you can laser her, when she's high up, her drift is faster than you coming down
  • Don't challenge her grabbing ledge, treat her ledge game like Peach's where you let her grab ledge and then corner her

Shielding vs Puff:

• Puff's frame data bad
  • Shield is p much always good, even as a panic button (as long as you're aware of when you panic shield)
• Puff's only counter to shield is a mixup between fastfall tomahawk grab and non-fastfall late up-air --> weakness here is that she is vulnerable before that
