Oh cool, a charizard. Will he make it out of pools? Heck no. But I'll keep an eye on it.Draquaza(not sure I have 3rd seed right in this pool)
Speaking of Dekillsage, I recently found out that he's considered like a god of Skullgirls.Much thanks to @Jams. for compiling a list of notable pool threats. It really looks as if no one gets out for free at CEO. I like it!
Dekillsage is
Deven3000 is all
Mook might use
I think StreetShark still mains
Nobie
Sage started in Brawl playing Snake. He switched to Skullgirls after his first game, err, dwindled and it's been his main focus ever since. He plays many teams and pioneered point Double (which won him EVO 2014 grand finals) and Beowulf (his main focus now). Even without focusing on Smash, the guy still finished 5th at Combo Breaker (which is better than the likes of Nite and Zinoto). He's super talented.
I mean...he's in the same pool as Nairo and JJRockets. I think not getting out of pools is a safe assumption.Geez fam, chill with the Zard hate. How are you gonn right the man off so soon, Draquaza is actually kinda good.
Wait...why is Falco a low tier?Draquaza
Is Osiris197 still using Falco? I think he's done pretty well with the character.Draquaza
fatality, seagull joe, and waldo are good opponents for tremendodudes pool, but they arent as bad as other opponents. Im confident Tremendodude can do decent in his pool. Its not gonna be easy making it out, but tremenodude is a pretty skilled player. Tremendodude has beaten sonics like true blue before, but fatality and waldo could be tough for him. I believe in dudeDraquaza
Offstage Flamethrower wrecks barrel recovery. But that is useless without Dragon Rush to beat out Banana and knock Diddy low offstage
He has no representation compared to other characters, which is one of the major things you need to get viability as a character (unless you're one of the "potential" snowflakes), or you're doomed for obscurity, just look at zard.
Cause he sucks
Because someone has to be. Yeah, it's weird because, like many people have been saying this year, a lot of the low and even bottom tiers in this game would have passed as mid tier in Melee and Brawl because of how well balanced this game is. As Smash players, we're so used to low/bottom tiers being gimmicky or just plain trash that it's still kind of hard for us to wrap our heads around which is why we have their weekly discussions of "wait, how is
////// a low tier!?"
Yeah, I was talking with Ramen yesterday, he's either going to make it out in losers or not at all.Draquaza
Oh, I know Draquaza is good, I've seen his matches. It's Charizard I don't think is good, not the players.Geez fam, chill with the Zard hate. How are you gonn right the man off so soon, Draquaza is actually kinda good.
Long answer: Falco has some very nice buttons: up smash, up throw, nair, down tilt, and that back air. He's good at low-percent damage racking. However, he lacks KO set-ups and back air is his only safe KO option but it has poor range, his recovery is bad, he gets comboed and juggled hard, and though some aspects of his movement are good, like his walk speed, jump height, and air acceleration, he has mediocre air and dashing speeds, giving him trouble approaching, which is further exacerbated by his lack of a good projectile. These issues are reflected in his results and usage--or lack thereof. Though it is worth mentioning that Falco at low-level is fairly annoying to deal with due to lasers despite being heavily nerfed. If I remember correctly, in terms of popularity, Falco was at the bottom on the chart made by Das Koopa and Thinkaman.
IMO the main reason why he's low tier is his recovery, which is by far the easiest in the game to edge guard. He can take over 50% damage against a majority of the cast from their edge guard attempts, which is obviously really terrible. People state that mobility is a key issue with him, but I honestly don't agree. Its around the same level of Ike and Corrin and like those characters, Falco has an amazing initial dash / Foxtrot, which aid his ability to approach. His projectile is cited as terrible, but it still is solid at forcing airdodges at long range (useful when the opponent is off stage) as well as a followup after Nair and Bair. His recovery is really the main thing I see that destroys him in most matches, as they usually end with him getting edge guarded easily as he tries to recover with Phantasm / Fire Bird.
Auto link angles r dumb, void was absolutely destroying marss that game too, guess that shows why you need to play perfectly as shiek
, taking a convincing game 5 from DKWill. Meanwhile, vs. continues to be all over the place.
