Shulk, with relation to the other characters, has a developed but completely underused meta. Whereas he has an awful lot of ATs (e.g. Monado Art Ledge Getup Lag Cancelling) discovered, you very seldom see people use them in tournament. Even the (arguably) least situational and most useful tech...

Pikachu wouldn't be that bad. Do remember that the untechaspin only occurs past 100% and at that point Pikachu's going for uthrow-thunder.

On that note, I have an unrelated question. Will this patch affect gameplay physics or only characters? When BSD released the untechable spin animation video the response was overall clearly negative, making it logical for the spin animation to be patched in the Fan Patch. Would this be done...

It doesn't send high enough to give G&W a good chunk of stage control but it sends too high to completely avoid any followups. Yes, G&W can edgeguard well, but the angle is such that the opponent can just drift back over the stage by the time you get in their range. And yes, you're not sure...

If anything G&W's fthrow should be in the lowest tier. It's completely useless.

:4gaw: is godawful. Never kills, doesn't set up into anything, and the angle is too high to set up for an edgeguard at the edge of the stage but too low to combo properly. Its damage is on the high end of mediocre. D- or F-tier. :4shulk: has situational use (especially in Monado Jump and...

Shulk's in D-tier? It deserves IMO B-tier at absolute worst. It's not a kill throw but in Vanilla and Jump art it has combos into Air Slash and some other moves at low percents, an incredible 50-50 in Jump art that works for a very large percent range, in Speed art it allows you to set up the...

:4shulk:Either actual Fiora or Alvis, complete with key. [Final Boss] might be a bit too flashy.

Note: SS dash attack beats out Sonic's side-B. That's all I can contribute.

"This isn't bad, I can easily capitalise off of the lag on his moves and his relative lack of range compared to previous Smash games — oh look, I died at 50%." :4gaw:

Cloud's Blade Beam can be bucketed for 8% on the ground and 6% in the air — 1 segment each. Limit break blade beam I'm not sure about — it's counted as a multi-hit but it only fills the bucket once. Corrin's neutral-B can be bucketed: it's 3% uncharged and 11% fully charged, meaning it can fill...

I admit I don't have much MU experience, but the G&W-Zelda matchup on paper and from what experience I do have feels like a +2. Zelda has no way of approaching G&W at all — crouch beats out almost everything, Din's Fire is very easily reactable/bucketable, and phantom slash can be really easily...

Bowser did that in M&L:BIS, but which one did Mario do it in? On a different note and to clarify things, Shulk didn't defeat Zanza because he was powerful. He defeated Zanza because he had the will to take control of his destiny. That alone shouldn't put him very high, as really anyone in the...

He can only lock with late fair which isn't a true combo from footstool (I think), but it can catch the opponent off guard easily and isn't stupidly hard to hit with if you know the timing.

Zanza is (as Alvis said) restricted by providence. Alvis is only a program. However, once Shulk unlocked the True Monado and defeated Zanza, he was made truly omnipotent for a couple of minutes. After mulling it over, decided to create a new world where he was not omnipotent. Maybe the Grand...
