Ezio special tactics

Neutral game

Ezio has an impressive duo of weapons that can either use the medium range of the orb to keep the enemy contained or the sword for close range combat and manipulation.

Use the orb with dodge reading strategies or play floaty to catch the opponent using the side air for forceful throws. The sword has longer attacks and permits a lot of airtime. Play around short combos that will put the enemy offstage: Use the side air as a killing move and the recovery and neutral air to juggle the opponent around.

The sword acts similarly, but with more swiftness and elegance. Play around the side air to throw opponents away or the down air to keep the enemy under you. The recovery is an excellent returning to stage opportunity, and an enemy caught in it will be rendered exposed and open to combos.
