DFS if used well can be pretty good at catching rolls or covering options I think, especially if you mix them up with a charged bite. If it's used to the point of being predictable it's super punishable and easy to react to of course but a lot of moves are like that. I believe that it is a...

All the buzz around Bayonetta is really overshadowing Corrin's release spotlight so it seems like it will be a while before we can really get a solidified opinion. That being said, I'd like to be cautiously optimistic and put Corrin at mid-tier, right below the Pits but above Peach on the 4BR...

Sorry if this has been discussed in detail already but what characters do you think would work well alongside Corrin as a secondary (or vice-versa)? I have a lot of fun playing Corrin but I tend to like playing a few characters in any game rather than having a dedicated main. I was thinking...

Mario: Delfino Plaza Zelda: Skyloft DK: Kongo Jungle (Melee) Metroid: Pyrosphere Yoshi: Yoshi's Island (Brawl) Kirby: Fountain of Dreams Pokemon: Kalos Pokemon League Star Fox: Corneria F-Zero: Mute City (3DS) Earthbound: Fourside Fire Emblem: Castle Siege Kid Icarus: Reset Bomb Forest Pikmin...

I feel like people are underestimating Charizard. I honestly believe he is the best "large heavy" character in this game. Every single one of his specials are solid, especially Rock Smash and Flamethrower. He has tons of kill options, spacing and zoning potential and can live forever with his...

Alright, I made the changes as per your suggestions. I also added custom move writeups and a few matchup analyses.

Bowser Jr. is one of my favorite characters in Super Smash Bros 4. I have wanted him playable as a newcomer ever since the pre-Brawl era and I finally got my wish. A slightly unorthodox fighter, Bowser Jr. has an extremely versatile kit with plenty of options for rushdown, a solid aerial game...

My main method of kills is side B, jump after the hit, up B and try to land the hammer. It hits often but I'm not sure how easy it is to dodge it- it certainly does leave you vulnerable for a bit if you miss. This usually works at about 100%~ and is very easy to land on heavy opponents like...

In my opinion, the relationship between Smash 4 and Melee would be healthy if it mirrored that of the Street Fighter series. What I mean by that is, Melee would be like SF2 and Smash 4 to be like SF4. SF2 is still extremely famous and has a very dedicated following and prominent spot at...

I was a brawl Wario main but it looks like I'm in the minority when I say that I strongly dislike what PM did to Wario... Anyways to answer the proposed question, I'd have to say Dr. Mario (even if it is just a Mario reskin in PM)- he just looks so clunky in 4 in terms of recovery. Also it's...

Since it's all speculation, this is my thoughts and impressions on the current "top 10". This is very subject to change and is largely based on collective opinions of others, my own impressions based on gameplay and preliminary high level footage as well as trends from past games (admittedly the...

It's really hard to tell who's "better" but from what it looks like, Dr. Mario has extremely bad recovery. I'm not sure if that's actually the case but it seems that it's quite a bit worse than Mario's. Tornado seems to give very little distance and cape doesn't really do much for his recovery...
