Wouldn't be surprised if ZSS really does have the potential to be top tier, i.e. ending up at top tier as long as one or two good players like Marss and Choco keep playing her (and it looks like they are currently). She may have the best mobility in the game overall when you factor in all the...

A fairly obvious thing now that we're talking about where the characters are heading, one which I don't think has been explicitly pointed out, is that quick aggro characters are very novel early in the game as well. They get to make a ton of commitments and reap the occasional rewards for free...

If parrying and edgeguarding are going to be (some of) the most important metagame development parameters, then the question will be whether those developments benefit a character more than they hurt them. In the case of Snake specifically, the way his recovery works is that if he's forced to...

Re: Falcon His neutral feels strange, playing out very differently compared to Smash 4. Dash grab reward isn't as good anymore because the slide is gone and uair was nerfed, but on the other hand ftilt is now an amazing poke, especially out of dash (sets for tech chase), raptor boost is...

Pikachu being called a top tier contender in this game despite showing barely any results outside of Esam (according to all the result compilations I've seen from here). I feel as if this has happened before in one or two Smash games ? hmm - Combos aren't a strength for Pikachu...

Snake has a 5f dash attack with invincible head and arms that travels very far. He can also outbox most of the cast with a 3f jab and 4f ftilt at close range, and a dtilt at mid range that basically outranges swordies and can be spammed safely. Snake can actually mix up defense and aggression...

First Snake impressions: - Yes He seems to play very similarly to Brawl (by which I'm implying that all the same things are good about him). The only things I miss so far are being able to chain multiple dthrows and dacus, though of course the regrab mechanics have been universal since S4, and...

This was under the works for a while Enjoy!

Yeah he can, both late and early except against floaties. Also u wot m8 at nair having the same purpose between Falcon and Ganon? Ganondorf's is essentially a lingering wall that kills, Falcon's is a horizontal comboer with hit 1 being safe on landing and comboing into stuff.

But Bayo wasn't hyped for the damage she does, especially when Mario, Fox, Ryu, Falcon, Luigi, Sheik and probably like 10 more characters do the same thing and most of the ones named have a better neutral. Yeah sometimes Bayo does 50-60% but so does everyone I listed except maybe Sheik. She...

Are Bayo's combos really that good though? In a 5 game set against Salem, Fatality died to one combo I think (so this is Falcon with ragdoll disadvantage against true combos mind you). ZSS has shorter stuff but it actually kills a lot of the time, and from a lot of different kind of starters...

It doesn't trade with non-sword hitboxes, it beats them. It trades with certain sword hitboxes like Dolphin Slash and gets beaten out by most. That's what a meme is, a repeating idea people believe in. Opinions are fine as long as they have some reasoning behind them. As far as I know, I'm the...

There are very few bad recoveries in this game. Falcon's recovery is relatively bad, but the mean is so good that a recovery being relatively bad doesn't have that much of a negative impact. Most of the time it's the Falcon player's fault for using it that way (autopiloting or guessing wrong)...

You said Nairo placed top 3 or top 8 at every previous event this year. He didn't. Aside from that please stop putting words in my mouth, I never labeled any of ZSS' or Nairo's results bad. In the hands of a great player, a high risk character getting 1st is as expected as them getting 17th...
