He went through Diddy, Rosalina, Pikachu, and Fox in top 8. Except Greninja still had really no chance against Sheik. That might seem a little unfair since Mr. R is one of the best Sheik players, but Sheik has both some of the best out of shield and is extremely safe on shield. Even if Sheik...

When are we going to see him play, though?

Still doing invites here? I'll join.

He seems to have a really good grasp of Greninja as an evasive and spacing character. Lots of people fall into a rhythm of throwing shuriken and going for neutral airs that has pretty mixed success.

Why are you talking about toughness? You show up to play. Plenty of people show up to compete, but that has nothing to do with "toughness." The entire idea here is that idiotic posturing is a big part of what causes the gender divide, and yet your solution is that everybody should be "tough"...

His hand is a deadzone because someone apparently thinks Smash Bros. is a precision fighting game. It also has a rather small vertical hitbox, so it's seemingly impossible to punish Yoshi and Pikachu if they land with certain moves.

You could always hope for Sheik to get an actual, meaningful nerf, considering she's only had one (back air) in the entirety of balance patches. There are way too many Sheiks in Japan especially; everyone wants to just play the safest, most reliable character and hope they come out on top...

You're sure it's just a short hop? Not anything slightly more, it just plain works out of a short hop?

Not at all. Jumping is one of the riskiest options in Street Fighter, while it's a constant movement aspect in Smash Bros. You aren't going to get very far using only Hadouken, Shoryuken, strong down tilt, and staying on the ground in this game.

I know at least one player who jumps at the height where Ryu can get one neutral air to cover his approach, then another right on landing. It's not completely safe against 6 frame grabs, but it can be pretty difficult to deal with.

At least Donkey Kong never had his character assassinated like Samus did, unless you count the horrifying cartoon. Well, only really one was added, Robin. Roy came back entirely as a Smash Bros. character who just happened to originate from Fire Emblem, and Lucina is barely more than a reskin.

Who said anything about Fire Emblem? Fates is apparently pretty popular in Japan, but I assume Corrin is mainly promotion and Sakurai's own interest in what could be done with the character. However, Fire Emblem has been tied in with Smash Bros. since Melee. People take an interest in Fire...

I would hope so, that's part of what Smash Bros. is for. This is still taking place within internet circles, though. Yes, I know we got Kid Icarus enemies in Brawl. But trying to take obvious patterns seriously repeatedly is just going to lead to heartbreak. Ask any Half-Life fan who still...

The Direct explicitly stated she was #1 in Europe, top 5 in U.S., and didn't specify worldwide or in Japan.

If Dante truly was top 5, then he probably wasn't a feasible character. They also specified top 5 in Europe: Perhaps she has a particularly large following in Europe. As for Splatoon, perhaps they didn't see it as the right time, maybe something was going on within Nintendo, obviously we don't...
