Yo, sceptile main here. Thought Id point out some stuff combo and setup wise 1. Giga drain-> jY-> Leaf storm combo is not actually the most optimal. However, giga drain does get other good wall combos with jY, specifically j8Y -> 8Y, keeping them at the wall and stacking defense downs. It has a few ways it can ended. Either you let them fall to the ground and set up your disgusting corner okis, phase shift with one of your moves (Most optimal is 4X I believe) or leaf storm and do less damage since no wall burst but keep them in the corner with a debuff. 2. As stated, 1A/2A/3A-> jY->8A is not optimal. For more damage, use jA, and try to land both seeds if possible. With both seeds, it does nearly 40 more damage. 3. Use Giga drain/Leaf blade oki depending on how you have conditioned them. Also using Leaf storm to catch jumps is fun, and you can set it up with giga drain dash cancels. Do note though that your standard grab and giga drain will make your seeds disappear. But this can also work to your advantage. Using bullet seeds on oki to bait block then catching it with giga drain for example. 4. This guide didnt cover it much, but CA is one of your best tools. Its arguably the best in the game besides scizors, and allows for some more mixups. CADC (Counter Attack Dash Cancel) grabs are a classic mixup, and sceptiles forward dash is really fast so its near impossible to react to. Also, you can set up combos off your [CA], for example: [CA]->5X->5Aj8y-8Y/8A
@@FilletFish778 Well what do you mean by worth playing? If you want viability, hes definitely worth, given hes one of the top 5 best in the game and arguably top 4 or 3
When using 6YY, you can slightly delay the second part of the attack, which is a just frame. Doing it right gives more damage and side switches for a bigger combo and more damage.the "~" in the notation just means to delay the second input
I love how dead honest this guide is.
5x > 5a3y: Heyyyy remember when you had 50 percent of your health bar? Yeah I'm gonna need that now.
This is awesome, im ready to make my friends hate me

If anyone has any sceptile questions, put them here in the replies and I will answer the best I can
@@UnseenMercenary just started the game a few weeks ago. Is sceptile worth playing? He seems fun and cool.

@@UnseenMercenary Oh wow I didn’t know he was that good. Thanks for replying!
Thx for the tips!
Do these combos even work anymore seems like they have crazy push back whenever I try them
Hey, this is really good shit. What does the tilde "~" mean in the notation? Thanks.
