From my testing so far it seems like the late hit of Wario's up-tilt went from being active from frames 11-19 to 11-15. It's actually surprisingly awkward to intentionally get the late hit now.

I think his counter is being overlooked by a lot of people. Sure, it has some unique properties that make it a little strange to get used to... but the detection hitbox and range of this thing makes it incredible in situations, and almost too generous for hitting recoveries. This isn't just a...

That video is from an older version of the game where the combo counter was inaccurate (it assumed more hitstun than the game actually has). A few of those combos could be false as a result.

Turns out, my friend's brother's pet dog is the one behind these leaks. He's a big Super Mario RPG fan; a Culex killer by day and a modder by night. This just in! It has been confirmed. I am the one confirming this. Myself. I would post pictures, but I'm a bit of a Lazy Shell.

I think Game & Watch might have the best shield in the game. His Fire combos just about anyone with its +10 frame hitstun modifier. It's also an amazing answer to any attack that isn't guaranteed, which you saw with Wario's neutral air getting punished on hit. It resets situations and it's...

It's also a good match that demonstrates just how much a game can snowball if you aren't properly respecting what the heavies are capable of. A lot of instinctive dash grab, air dodge and punish attempts were immediately denied and cost Cosmos his entire stock. I think people can really...

I would like to know the technical reason why this is the case, if it's some weirdness with a/synchronous timers or something (but then again, I swear there's an animation speed difference too). It threw me off so bad when I first started to test out jab confirms until I realized that Mac...

Yeah, I also doubt they're going to let ROB keep his jab confirms. The balance team definitely seem OK with repeated minor adjustments to specific attacks as we've seen with Rod, Flip Kick and Wolf's down smash. They're no stranger to reverting things. I'm actually quite surprised how the team...

To be honest, he's looking incredible yet still so similar to his last appearance—which is great! It just goes to show how far a design can flourish with some tweaks and engine modifications. I always believed in his design. He has been getting a lot of attention lately, which is nice and also...

I'm really happy with Roy's English voice. You can tell there's a lot of respect for the original voicework too.

I did consider that Fire Wolf has likely been repurposed into a kill option, especially with the heavy knockback and lack of smash DI. However, that high start-up and short distance really makes it tough to form theories that aren't just bait punishes. I suppose I'm looking forward to how it'll...

Can back air short hop autocancel? I've seen that it does have a nice autocancel frame but back air's start-up is quite high and Wolf doesn't exactly have a long short hop.

I won't be surprised if down throw is far less reliable. It certainly could be due to the image quality, but throughout all the videos I've been seeing of Falco I'm believing that his back air has seen a startup increase; the initial pose is exaggerated.

From my perspective, it's very uncommon for them to add back an auto cancel, but they did it for down aerial. That helps a lot. It seems to do 11% so it's weaker. Landing lag is lowered and start-up is reduced to frame 10. So, Falco's short hop down air is now frame 13? The lowered jump squat...

I'm on board for Lloyd as DLC. It would be nice to see some Tales representation in Smash.
