Marcina takes more damage on-stage, so you give the edge to Chroy? You need be on-stage to actually take damage there, so shouldn't Marcina have the edge? I can agree with this though.

Lucina's placement has increased from S2 to S3, from #15 -> #12. Although she has dropped from her peak placement of #6 in Season 1, she has at least stabilized with a slight rise. If anything, it's mainly a spike in Roy's results. In both Seasons 1 and 2, he was #18, but he has grown to #13...

Remi got 17th at G7, although I'm not sure where his other results are. Personally I would like to see who the contributors to each character's points. It would obviously show the shares of each contribution, but it would also give us a gauge of the general "borderline" of high-level play.

I think Dakpo is the one with all the attention on him. If you watched his set against Gluto, Dakpo played well, but him getting an infinite + Gluto missing two Wafts is a pretty big deal. Gluto didn't miss his set-ending Waft against Nairo and he won because of it. I can agree with your...

One thing I want to add to this, but at the end screen (metascouter.gg, the one with the statistics for both players), Leo dealt over 150% more than Marss, across the course of 3 games. However, what Marss has shown is stocks are what matter, not damage dealt. Anyone who watched the set saw how...

Texas is loaded with ROB players at the regional level. All three of them are on the Texas PR, I believe. (They have a top 15 PR) As for Roy players, I think Roy is easier to main and reserve Chrom for particular match-ups than the other way around. The prevailing opinion for Chrom usage is for...

I wonder if OrionStats has something that shows all the contributing players to specific characters. I would be interested to see who's contributing to :ultrosalina:'s score outside of Dabuz, Kirihara, and Homika. I haven't really touched Rosalina in this opening year of Ultimate, but comparing...

I think it's mainly due to his excellent mid-range control. Think about it: His normals are quick (D-tilt is mad dumb, -5 on block with 3f start-up), he has wonderful falling aerials and his Fair is his go-to rising aerial. He has a simple and quick close-range game (with a dangerous grab game...

If I may draw parallels to another game; League of Legends (and I imagine games like Overwatch/CS:GO) have characters (called champions in that game) who are notorious at lower ranks. Some champions dumpster lower levels of play due to a variety of factors, but the main one is: Not knowing your...

Imagine if Lucina mains were able to learn other top tier MUs to the same degree pros know the Lucina MU. Knowledge certainly offset strong options especially against a character like Lucina, who doesn't have a whole lot of gimmicky plays she can rely on. As for MKLeo as a player, I don't know...

Been reading this thread a little bit and I don't think anyone has mentioned this. What are your goals in Smash? Why do you even want to improve in the first place? What good will that do for you, personally? I ask these because everyone wants different things from competitive Smash. (You...

He hasn't been out for more than a few days and we're trying to place him into a tier. For better or for worse, let's not. MUs are more important and what determines tier placement anyways.

Kind of a self-update, but I found Juul in the Robin discord and his controls are what I expected; A+B smash (for levin aerials), tilt stick, and a shoulder button set to specials. I'm glad to see a Robin pull off a change of controls like that and do well. Winning a 60+entrant NY local and then...

Hey, any idea what control set-up Jul uses? I haven't been using much Robin lately because, unlike Smash 4, Tilt stick always produces a Bronze aerial now. I'm interested in how he manages the Levin sword so well. Many Robin players are having difficulty with Robin due to this change alone, and...

I've hardly played the game, but after watching the MKLeo vs. Samsora Grand Finals set at the SC United tournament, here's the evidence to support a "nair centric" playstyle: 1) Nair -> Uair (Kills) 2) Nair -> Bair (also kills) 3) Nair -> Nair (platform extension) -> aerial chase (which can...
