Smash Champion
Even if Ic remains EXACTLY the same(moveset-wise) in the transition from melee to Brawl, we're going to have to play them VERY differently from the way we currently play them. Check this out..
1. No chaingrabs. The new physics engine wouldn't allow it seeing as everyone's so **** floaty and smash DI is MUCH easier. Dthrow Dair will only become a viable setup for a smash. You know what that means? The only thing I see still being viable is D/Fthrow Fairspike regrab at low percentages and Dthrow Nanagrab. Wobbling's probably been erased completely.
2. More intelligent use of desynchs. I see Desynch combos becoming our main way of dealing damage, which is good, because honestly, that's how I think IC should be played anyways. I tried to mold my style around this, with little success, lol but it feels good to 0-edgeguard desynch combo someone. Maybe nana's box will be a little larger, meaning more flexibility in the combos. Maybe.
3. NO WAVEDASHING. Yeah, this hits hard, right? Get used to it. Honestly, if we we don't get some kind of buff with this loss, I can see us being low-tier, bottom-tier even. Losing wavedashing takes away ALOT of things. No wavedash mindgames, no wavesmashes/grabs to punish lag. No wavedash approaches. SoPo is basically SCREWED. Yeah, our ground game is ****ED. In addition to our subpar air-game, yeah, things aren't looking good for Nana and Popo. Utilt useless now? KUNFERMD. I'd suggest trying to play sans wavedashing now in order to get used to the feeling. be prepared to lose alot of matches. XD
Don't worry though. Things aren't ALL bad for nana and popo..
1. Auto-speetspotting. We can actually sweetspot now! Whew! Feels good, right? :D
2. New desynchs. The update that confirmed IC already confirmed a new desynch, the footstool desynch. It'll only be a matter of time before we find even more crazy stuff.
3. (Possibly) a better SoNa? Okay, yeah, the running joke among us IC mains is that Nana is too good but we all know the truth. While yes, sometimes she does come through and help us, for the most part, SoNa is useless. She runs into attacks, only jabs and can't even recover! We're not asking for AMAZING AI. Hell, adding Squall hammer to her moveset is an improvement. How about making her a little smart, eh?
4. They're even cuter than before.
LOOK AT THAT! They're so adorable! Let's show them that we're not to be messed with! ^_^
This may seem like a scary post but it's more than likely true. Sooo... whaddaya say? Are you ready to play a different, and possibly much worse, IC? I promise to make them as good as possible. If I can't do that, then I at least promise to contribute something to the community so that others can. I can't leave them now.
ARE YOU READY TO BRAWL?
