?Hey you.
Not by me he's not
I didn't say they're all bad. But when you have a thread on the Game & Watch boards discussing his personality and traits as a character when he's an amalgam of games from 30 years ago with no personality to speak of. I like the character boards for what they can tell me about playing a character, not usually for small talk.
Villager has a very powerful defensive game. His main selling point is his ability to make use of multiple, often powerful and hugely sized hitboxes at once. He can have a gyroid, a tree and a slingshot hitbox out all at the same time and is entirely safe while doing so. Even though Villager's character design appears to have holes here and there, there's a handful of characters who are fundamentally incapable of doing anything against Villager's jank. Villager's defensive capabilities are amplified by his ability to reset back into neutral from a disadvantaged position pretty easily. He may be the very best character at it, actually. You can NOT juggle or combo this character and you will not win any camping battles against this guy. Patience is as important as in hardly any other matchup because being at a stock disadvantage against Villager is the opposite of fun. Like, the literal opposite of it.
Delta just got the game and Raptor is always quiet about his tournament results, think he got 9th or something at KTAR XI.
Dude, no. Sheik got the completely wrong treatment with theat patch, man. Everything that wasn't top tierish about her - mainly her kill power - has been made even worse. Like, you can look at all her fundamentals and her neutral game and you'll probably think she's amazing and top tier and all. But then you try to - you know - actually win with this character and you'll realize how much she got hurt. She's not better than Diddy right now. I really doubt she's even in the same tier as Diddy right now. We can talk about that once they fix Diddy's uair but not now.
1.) Slice got 2nd / 30+ people at the launchtournament for the Wii U version of smash 4 today.
I was just being a dweeb with that, Kofu. I am going to try and spur more productive conversation on the D3 boards where I can. I tell ya too, if I were moderating there I would can the lameass threads about the character sucking.
I agree on both parts. Fox is really good but Yoshi beats him.
They needed minor buffs if the comparison is to the top 15. But yeah, overbuffed seems accurate.And yeah, Ike and Shulk DEFINITELY got overbuffed. Like, there was nothing wrong with these characters that required a buff in the first place and now these guys just got massive buffs all around just like that. I have no idea wtf the developers were thinking when they did that.
And, Diddy, Pikachu, and Sheik all do that way better than Mario. And Mario dies much faster than any of them when he's caught, because he literally has no way to force people to respect him when he's juggled and edgeguarded.
Thank you Jesus. Someone else sees.
Just out of curiosity, what set are you running on Gunner?
You're half-wrong. The can's utility is not to be questioned by any means but that doesn't mean that his gameplan should be centered around it so much. On the contrary: since the can's utility is so obvious DHD players should put more focus on his other moves and how to make ideal use of it. Once they realize what they can do with his moveset, that's when implementing the can becomes really fun. The can by itself is useful but not really outstanding. Only in tandem with his other moves, especially his projectiles, does the move truly shine.
Okay lol, I don't always recognize sarcasm. But a lot of the character boards need work. Then again, the game is only a few months old and there hasn't been much time to develop any metagame.
Sheik vs. Lucario (and Pikachu vs. Lucario, which is similar) gets easier if you approach the matchup from a slightly different mentality than most. Don't try to KO Lucario when he's at high %s, try to grab him and throw him offstage. Once he's offstage, he might have a huge recovery, but he puts himself at risk of dying when he uses it. The patch gave him immense landing lag after up-b, so he's pretty much forced to go for the ledge or die against fast characters like Sheik and Pikachu (as Sheik, dash in Bouncing Fish: you have plenty of time to land it while Lucario is in endlag). Once he's on the ledge, you can ledge trump b-air or read his getup, but he's not as scary as he is on the stage (no Aura Spheres or anything: he can grab you or jab you on getup, but you're not worried about a jab, and his b-throw doesn't kill as easily as Sonic's or Ness' so it's not *that* scary). That's 90% of the time how you will have to get your KOs against him.
I prefer to be Half-right, but really its about what I mean. He clearly has his other specials, but it's pressure that forces you inwards where the Can most likely is, which lets him then go to try and play with your approach but then it all goes back to how he's conditioning you with the can. I'd call him a character with a sizeable skill cap, but I feel Gunner has that straight efficiency that arguably doesn't even require him to have Dhd's zoning complexity. Even still Gunner gets to be creative with his projectiles.You're half-wrong.

I think the gunman is really good. It produces an additional hurtbox in front of DHD that allows him to use can and clay pidgeon from a safe position. But it also produces a hitbox that literally covers DHDs back and can actually set-up CQC shenanigans. When you throw in good use of can DHDs damage output will start to stand out imo. But I don't think we'll get to see any of that if people fail to realize that the character has a lot more going from him than just the can.
TBF, we can cancel most of the lag from landing on stage. It's certainly more difficult when you're going for some weird unpredictable angle, but it is doable to hit a smooth slide rather than toppling over.
