Gameplay Tips

  • Be careful with the second part of Aigis' jab while on the edge of the stage or a platform. You may end up hanging onto the ledge!
  • Aigis' Neutral EX can deal a lot of damage to shields, on top of its ability to knock opponents away.
  • Aigis' Side EX goes farther than her Side Special, and also has slightly more knockback.
  • When you see Aigis flash yellow for a little bit in her Up Special, that means you can cancel out of it into any attack. You can even cancel into Up EX!
  • While Aigis' Up EX lacks the mobility of her Up Special, it can be used to quickly get away from an opponent.
  • If you hold down the special button during Aigis' Down Special, the grenade will be able to go much further than the normal version.
  • The grenades in Aigis' Down EX don't do as much damage or knockback as Down Special, but cover a large area in front of her.

Trivia

  • Aigis' "headphones" are based on the Antikythera mechanism, an Ancient Greek analogue computer that was used for astronomy back in the 2nd century BC.
