"Bn"
Smash Cadet
As an avid Shulk main in Sm4sh (ranked 1st in my very VERY small region). I've been wondering what everyone else thinks of him..... I'm struggling to adapt but I'm starting to come to the conclusion that it's probably not worth it. My main gripe is his frame data; Startup hasn't changed at all since Sm4sh (Only move I haven't tested is Backslash), this was his main problem for me as landing lag could be remedied with mallc. In ultimate though, it's made far more noticeable with the speed of the game, he just gets swarmed even worse since characters can approach qiucker, and since his jab is hot garbage now with the range nerf and that people can just drop out of the combo, he doesn't have any sort of get off me option outside of sticking on shield art and trying to mix up what I do. Bair no longer hits both sides, he kinda needed that but I can live without it. F-smash is more unreliable than it was before. Vision is weak as hell and no longer beats shields, making it one of the worst counters now apart from witch time.
The only postive changes I can find are landing lag is reduced, everyones has though so i don't see it being too relevant. Nair got the buffs and i'm really pleased with it (albiet the sweetspot has been changed. Fair has better range and no longer has the hitbox that sends people backwards. Backslash catches the ledge, granted you have to be high up making it very situational, you've also probably burned your double jump to get that high up so if you get hit out of it, you're most likely dead at that point.
Overall, I'm not to pleased on how he's been changed, anyone else feel like this or am I talking out my bum?
