Sakurai and Nintendo clearly acknowledge the competitive community now. They wouldn't make all of these specific balance changes otherwise.

The opponent is forced to hold shield for 5 more frames now. They're draining their own shield for 5 frames after you shieldbreaker them. It should make up for 5 less shield damage.

So a charged shieldbreaker of any amount will break a shield easier now, because the opponent is forced to shield for ~5 more frames. Am I correct?

Is a charged shieldbreaker weaker too or only uncharged? If charged is exactly the same amount of shield damage, it will be easier to break shields with.

Shieldbreaker itself is the same as before or better because they are forced to hold shield for ~5 more frames. Edit: It's actually strictly better because it's safer to use now.

Now movement is a better defensive option. Proper spacing is more important.

Is it possible now to chain an attack on shield into a shieldbreaker? What is Marth's strongest attack with the least endlag to try this with? How significant is this improvement for tipper fair and dancing blade on shield? What about nair into grab?

For those who attended EVO, did you feel like there was input lag on the Wii U setups? The BenQ monitors claimed 1 ms response time, but what about everything else? I genuinely felt that there was very noticable delay on my inputs. It was like I was playing online. Considering I normally use the...

That video explained it well, thanks.

I predict that they will be in as alts for Marth and Lucina.

The new jab sending enemies up is amazing. jab2 is a true combo and other follow-ups work as well. jab > Fsmash seems like a great way to kill now. First hit of nair > jab > jab2 is a 3x true combo at around 40% against Mario and becomes easier at higher percents. Marth can't do it until around...

Smash Emblem

Several characters are still escaping my wind jab pretty easily. The last hit won't connect.

He feels faster and better. I can more easily follow up attacks with more attacks. I still struggle to get kills.
