Palutena

Dash attack is your best option in neutral. Back Aerial is also pretty good. When he has limit play in sort of a bait and punish playstyle. When he has limit you are pretty much forced to approach, so do it very safety and try to bait shield so you can tomohawk.

Try to condition him to shielding, so you can get a couple tomohawk grabs and possibly put him offstage

Palutena

Put cloud offstage as much as possible. You can edgeguard him with her forward aerial, down aerial (only when he's near the stage because if you go deep you might kill yourself), Side Special (The windbox when he's using his climhazard because it doesn't snap to the ledge automatically), Back Aerial towards some stages at the end of his Up Special for an untechable stage spikes or even a well spaced autoreticle.
