A better meaning for arrows offstage


Something I used to believe was that arrows' goal isto hit the opponent, either catching their double jumps or simply tackling a few percents. But because of airdodge, that is unreliable and I was just shooting arrows hoping I hit some lucky ones.

What if I tell you not hitting the opponent is the real goal.

Beating Fox's sideB with MultiMrGi


Fox' recovery is something one should learn to exploit to make the match up more even.
Dealing with upB is fairly straight forward (but still complex to execute) : you either jump offstage to hit him off his wind up, or you arrow him to death.
Meanwhile, sideB is much more complex to deal with as it is quicker and doesn't wind up. But don't worry, MultiMrGi is here to help you.

Visual representation of frame trapping (arrows)


This is only theory. I don't have any real footage on how frame trapping. If anyone have better experience over it, please tell me if it works.

 Arrows can be effective to frame trap as they have a very low cooldown when tossed from the air (only 19 frames) while covering a very large area.
Here is the scenario : Pit Downthrow, read the airdodge and punish with Dair which pops the Marth up (airjump used : 1) : https://youtu.be/CDGmz8nme6s?t=30s
We will frame trap the option : Fast fall toward the stage to recover from below.
