Void vs Larry is like the so-cal classic. You can probably find tons of old sets on YouTube if they uploaded them. Larry used to beat Void most of the time with fox and was #1 on the pr. More recently, void powered up with shiek and Larry uses DK against him occasionally. I think void has also...

Komorikiri lost to paseriman, a pretty good pit from japan, but I believe it was one of his first tournaments using cloud. Paseriman got most of his kills from deep edgeguards.

More realistic example: Shiek gets nerfed. Zero still beats other top players cause the nerf was reasonable and shiek is still the best character in the game. And if god forbid she gets a slightly unfavorable matchup Zero will be fine using diddy, and it's good to have even the best characters...

I get the theorycraft that Mario has little room for improvement, but are we really gonna call him worse than fox and ryu already? Mario's meta has been advancing just fine in comparison to the rest of the cast with improvements to his neutral and combo optimization. His main problem is that he...

Yeah that was my point. Characters like duck hunt and pit are viewed a lot different in the US than in japan. I'm hoping our views on characters in smash 4 evolve to include a more worldwide scene. You can probably expect a lot of drastic knee jerk changes in some peoples' opinions if some...

I wouldn't say earth doesn't push pits meta as much as dkwill does with DK. This is the same man who double eliminated Ranai recently. He also has wins over 9B, rain, nietono, and some others I'm probably missing out on since I don't really follow the Japanese scene closely. The problem with pit...

I'd definitely agree with pit being a great defensive character. With Overall quick frame data on most of his grounded attacks plus great options like nair and upsmash to cover arial approaches, he can rely a lot on good reaction time to punish aggressive players. Full hop arrows across the...

I think by now we have a decent understanding of who the viable characters are and have seen top level matchups between them. This includes the top 11-12ish characters and maybe a few slightly outside of that range like Yoshi and wario. The most interesting group is the 'semi-viable' or...

I recently started playing my custom mii brawler and was wondering how legit unrestricted miis are? I remember brawler getting a lot of attention back in the 3ds days for stuff like helicopter kick but no one really talks about him anymore. Anyways how good do you guys think unrestricted mii...

Ranai has the best results in Japan using only villager. It's one of those cases where there's one strong main and then representation kind of falls off after that. But it still shows that villager obviously has some good things going for him when played at a high level. Just because Ranai is...

Currently I don't think there can be a consistent top 10 as long as villager exists.

No need to have an official term to describe all "gimmicks". There's a lot of difference between unique character mechanics like luma and a simple overtuned d-throw upair combo. It's like the brawler, gunner, swordsman classifications; it oversimplifies things needlessly and we should just use a...

For matchup purposes, I don't think there's much reason to use dark pit over pit. Pit has the better arrows in every matchup. Electroshock can set up edge guards and knock luma offstage(overrated IMO because you still eat a punish). Upperdash is a more reliable kill tool and can be used to armor...

First time poster here and a pit main so I thought I'd give my input on him: Like many people have already said, Pit is the jack of all trades character in Smash 4, but I think he has some tools that are at least well above average that prevent him from being middle of the pack on the tier...
