Simon's Counter Picks

You got a lot of projectiles; careful spacing and keeping some distance will be the best way to play

Use your up B immediately after shielding a hit, there are very few moves in the game that can't be punished this way. You can even reverse the up B if your opponent is attacking you from behind.

2/2: Use projectiles to frame trap & combo opponents. Grants options to approach, maintain stage control, & score KOs. Use your options based on the situation (using spaced or KO attacks). ~KyoKyle64

Down tilt off of stage. No, really. It gets the opponent off of ledge really easily, and you can always get back up unless you're an actual idiot. It's a great set up for edgeguarding, where he excels

1/2: Use Simon’s projectiles to rack up damage, and prevent opponents from approaching you. His projectiles force opponents to approach and limit their options. . . ~KyoKyle64
