    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    It's the danger of patch changes of an infant meta, specially a playerbase as vocal as Smash Bros'. I do think there is a big sense of ungratefulness, Smash Ultimate didn't come out dead on arrival like Smash 4, there were no crimes against humanity like :4diddy:,:4sheik:,:4sonic...

    Sonix seems like the type of player who is just gonna figure out every matchup eventually. He used to lose a lot to Aegis and now he whoops all her players, and IIRC has never lost a set to Corrin ever since MK Leo (before playing Corrin was cool). The same goes for Zomba. He could care less...

    Allegedly, in the dark ages of Smash 4 Komorikiri won so hard with small Mii Brawler that the people at his locals told him to not play Mii Brawler or else he would not be allowed to play at all. Whether that story is true or not Brawler in his "purest" form (small with Helicopter Kick and Feint...

    Right, Rosa USED to be the best before Sheik and Diddy, good catch right there. Though the Hoohah and Sheik's kill moves were still there I can see a case for Rosa being better. After all one prevalent theory about Rosa during the Hoohah/Needle metas was that she invalidated all the cast just on...

    Pretty much, all traits combined together to make a flexible and dangerous character. It also helps to have dumb hitboxes, MK and Bayonetta most notorious. The other thing is weaknesses and using the engine to their advantage. Pikachu has death combos because of 64's high hitstun. His only...

    1) Frame data Pikachu has a very safe standing grab and dashgrab, with Z-cancel his aerials have 0 landing lag. Fox has his infamous frame 1 Shine, his aerials and tilts have good frame data too. MK has a frame 2 Uair, he can spam DSmash like it's nothing, he can throw out DTilts and Dairs...

    Is it time people admit that "FP2 ruined Ultimate" is wrong? :ultsephiroth: sucks, :ultminmin:ultkazuya:have many terrible matchups, :ultsora: slips under the radar. :ultsteve: and :ultpyra: are the only ones who are truly relevant and they have their troubles. Sparg0 made a strong statement...

    He's trying to be Rizeasu or something. Though you would think that with a wide array of proven characters at tournament he would use them to counterpick like Banham, but he doesn't seem interested in that, rather just play who he feels like it. Like how he loses so much to Mario these days...

    Nobody wants to play Lucina besides Banham and Banham barely even plays at tournaments. Cloud gets more exposure, and he has a broken Bair. Though I go more with the route that Lucina is too honest among the likes of R.O.B, Steve, Wario, Fox, Mr. Game & Watch, etc. Cloud exchanges Lucina's...

    Aegis seems to be just barely in the realm of reason if played by a human being, as in, how far can a human with flaws like nerves, finger speed, and cerebral functions play a character at top level. With Aegis players they usually lose after getting their jump sniped or being sent an awkward...

    How is Glutonny held back by Wario? If anything he has improved, recently he has been winning his bad character matchups and making deeper runs. If he were playing a trash tier like Richter, Isabelle, and what have you maybe there would a case to make, but Wario is Melee Puff 2.0, he can just...

    Miya's Steve is a work of art. His block placement reminded me a lot of custom Villager, placing them on the way to force options. He used a lot of the triple wall block to use as an approach response to hit them with an FSmash knowing he cannot really be punished for it. Thought his most...

    It is quite silly you have to see the future or do a background check just to not get an unfavorable game 1. You would think that the ruleset would be changed by now since so many people hate Kazuya, Steve, and Sonic's guts, not to mention Min Min and other matchup checks who take advantage of...

    That happened in Smash 4, with two triplats on the list it makes it more likely for ladder combo characters to succeed, and the ladder combo characters also had Town & City to play with and default to Smashville some of them could just do horizontal combos or camp at the platform. Smash 4 truly...

    If it counts Michaelangelo got banned in Nick All Stars tournaments under two weeks, his Nair could do easy execution, guaranteed, and inescapable death combos. He made Bayonetta and Ice Climbers look like jokes.
