The main issue with Pit’s side-b is in the frame data of the side-b. The side-b has super armor starting frame 11 to frame 26, or until the hurtbox detector recognizes a hurtbox, activating the swing. There are two connected issues, however: the hurtbox detectors are pathetically small, and the...

So during the SSC interview, MKLeo revealed that his secret swordsman secondary was Chrom, and that he’ll likely have him ready for Shine. A surprising turn of events, especially with the fluctuating opinions on the character’s viability.

And with the end of EVO comes the end of 3.1.0, and the beginning of the 4.0.0 era. Many characters have had changes, including lesser used ones like :ultisabelle:,:ultlucas:, :ultridley:, and :ultpit:/:ultdarkpit:. I’d like to look specifically at :ultpit:/:ultdarkpit:, since I happen to know...

Pit’s got a frame 10 spike directly below him, but it’s particularly weak. Base knockback of *0*, with 80 knockback growth, meaning it’s got the strength of weak Zelda dair, which isn’t exactly impressive. Sure, you get combo potential out of the move with the non-spike hitboxes, but as a spike...

ZeRo in particular is an interesting showcase of how top players can struggle and have their opinions shifted based upon their flaws in their play style. I’ll also be using ANTi as a secondary example. About a week ago, Zero had invited Mew2king over to his stream, and the two of them took...

Brinstar is sharkable, and it’s irregularly uneven ground is much more egregious than Lylat or even Castle Siege.

A quick correction, Ike is not slower in smash Ultimate. He did, however, get the lowest run speed increase, going from 1.5 to... 1.507. An honestly negligible 0.47% speed increase from Smash 4 to Ultimate, when the average run speed increase across the cast was a 10% buff, leaves him at 66th in...

In addition, these leak streams have confirmed both Arena Ferox and Gamer to have randomized layouts during hazardless. This, of course, kills any chance for Arena Ferox to be legal, unfortunately.

MKLeo was just threatening Salem into shield with tippered anti-air aerials all throughout game 3. That was crazy.

I doubt T will get any PGR placing this season if he hasn’t already been given a spot. His only PGR wins from S+, S, and A tier tournaments is on Elegant at West Side Saga, and he has only 3 placements at S+, S, and A tier PGR tournaments with 9th at west Side Saga, 33rd at 2GGC MKLeo Saga, And...

I feel like this hasn't been expounded on enough, honestly. Knowledge is great to have, but it doesn't really matter that much if you're not applying it in matches. Hell, some top players still don't know a lot about more than half of the cast. Of course, such an idea leads one to think, "if I...

MK Leo has the most consistent movement tech I've ever seen. foxtrot in to immediate PP back, foxtrot pivot F-smashes and f-tilts, PP rolls, this man is so insanely talented on the stick.

I just came here to say that your character is crazy. Second highest air speed, top 15 air acceleration, second highest air deacceleration, third highest air friction, second highest traction, and rest hitting OoS on frame 8. This character is an out of shield monster, and I know that one day...

The better I get, the more I wonder if I've got Stockholm syndrome when it comes to this character.

I'm really impressed at @Dabuz extremely accurate placement of Link and the reasoning behind it, mainly because it's spot-on. Link's normals overall outclass Toon Link, held back by the mobility specs likening to Melee Bowser. Add onto the fact that he has bottom 10 disadvantage state, his...
