Social Corrin Social - Still Fire Emblem Social

[ILOVESMASH]

I don't know about For Glory, but I have seen her a ton in the last tournament and friendlies. In the actual tournament, there weren't all that many. I was probably the highest-placing one, at 9th. );


Well, the character is only a few days old, and it isn't the most weird of things to be trying them out...guess I can't blame them. Even a pretty good Corrin player here isn't even considering her for serious use.


What do you mean by all that?

< Also, from the guy who said he was only going to use Corrin "because she's hot". aka, me. Like, I outrighted stated it. The worst part? I'm actually considering her as a main...even if I started out really bad with her. And the fact that I've been hatin' on Corrin for getting in the way of my beloved Shovel Knight~

When characters initiates a dash, their is a specific number of frames before they can shield. Characters like sheik can shield very fast, while it takes quite a bit of time for characters like marth to shield. Corrin can shield incredibly fast out of a dash, which is quite useful for dealing with projectiles since the window of time to hit him is incredibly small.

Been practicing a bit with Corrin he/she is fun, but finding a hard time to string together combo's also a few video's have been going around talking about how "Corrin's counter is broken" and showcasing people dying from 0% just by the counter alone...now I for one don't believe it but it's spreading around the net like a plague and wanted to know if you guys heard anything about this?

Corrin's counter activates pretty quick and launches at a vertical enough angle that if you get hit in the air, GG. Its APPARENTLY punishable, but I've really only found that grabs are the safest way to do so.

I've had Marth as a Mess-Around character for a while, its time to whip him out thanks to the buffs.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Now whenever I try to get a boost as I recover with Mewtwo, I instinctively use Bair instead of Confusion.

Thanks, Corrin.

 

[LordShade67]

@Oz To add specifics to what ILOVESMASH said, Corrin takes about 7 frames or so to go into shield from his/her dash, which is actually pretty good, since it makes dashing less of a commitment.

I think I've struggled alot against Samus. For some reason I have difficulty approaching her even though it's never an issue with other projectile spam characters like Villager. I had a few rounds with some Samus on FG and I just couldn't approach them well, or predict the Charge Shot. I felt like a scrub.

And then they switch to Cloud and I do just fine. -_-

Actually I always got trouble playing against Samus because both of my mains, Robin and Ike, have a lot of problems when it comes to approach her and I'm not expecting something different with Corrin since she's still pretty slow and her projectile can't really help.
Samus can play very well against slow characters, but she struggle a lot against fast characters (basically all the high tier).

 

[THE 6r]

I countered a Turnip. Peach died. Counter Surge is WAAAAAAY too good

I countered Ganon's jab and he died. It's that good

 

[Dark Phazon]

Just out of curiosity, might I ask why you are seeking these individuals?

Had some crazy battles with that Cloud Last night we played for like a hour or something was crazy.

Had some crazy battles with that Cloud Last night we played for like a hour or something was crazy.

I met a pair of folks on For Fun when I was playing with Faith
They kept changing their names to predictable things (Such as Gunter/Pingu, NIEN/-9-, PAC & MAC) so we kept changing to those characters
And then they did Mayro + Lugee, but all of us chose characters that weren't exactly Mario & Luigi (US: Roy [Mario] & Yoshi [Lugee] VS THEM: Red DK [Mario] & Green Wario [Lugee]) and that spawned some hilarity
Plus on the final battle we all just went Dedede and relaxed via Crouching the whole match
Was good man

Smash 3DS is pretty much the key to making equipment that you want. Hack your equipment supply in Smash 3DS, and then copy your customizations onto Smash Wii U. Of course, the equipment needs to be legal by game standards (go here for the formula), or else the customizations will be rejected.

However, even legal equipment can end up being rejected if you don't keep track of the extra values that each piece of equipment has.

I play it when I have like a 2 hour window of nothing in college, it has saved me from a lot of boredom

 

[G-Guy]

So, anyone in favor of calling Corrin's dair the draggin Dragon or the Dragon's descend? no? well I tried

I can finally recover from an offstage dair consistently without DL now and boy is it a fun move!

Catching someone by surprise and footstooling them right on top of the blast zone is absolutely disrespectful and I am loving each moment of it :-)

@Oz To add specifics to what ILOVESMASH said, Corrin takes about 7 frames or so to go into shield from his/her dash, which is actually pretty good, since it makes dashing less of a commitment.

Corrin not having to commit, what else is new?

Seriously though, Corrin never seems to have to commit in anyway. It's pretty ridiculous. I see the only potential issue with him/her being his/her speed on the ground.

But that neutral game is ridiculous. S/he basically just brick walls people.

Corrin probably takes the least commitment of any character in Smash 4. I'd say s/he is on par with Sheik, but Sheik at least needs to commit to get a kill. Corrin doesn't. F Smash is pretty safe on shield if you space it.

I have started pocketing Corrin just because of how annoying it is to fight against Corrin with anyone else. It almost feels like you have to be a Corrin to punish a Corrin's mistakes because Corrin is the only one with the range for an appropriate punish.

I've played my fair share of Marth (plus some, even played him while he was a laggy mess...), so Corrin was pretty easy to pick up.

I may main him.

Also to add to the Corrin counter things.

My friend saw someone die at 45% to counter.

I lost a stock as Bayonetta from 13% to two counters to a raging Corrin. I got Corrin to like 120% and only got hit once with I think jab combo and twice with counters... Two counters brought me from 13% to ~75% and killed me off the top. I tried to pick Bayonetta up and she wins on for glory because people don't know to block but I really don't think her neutral game is good enough. Great combo game, terrible neutral.

I may take Corrin from a pocket to a main in the future.

From my experience, beats Corrin pretty solidly. I'd also say , and also beat him.

So people with Giant Swords or Psychic Abilites
Why not both

 

[alguidrag]

I'm strungling against Pikachu and Mario (yeah... they kill 80% of the roster so its normal)
Ike and Marth are doing well, maybe a neutral MU? Same with Robin
MRGW are getting destroyed by my Corrin, so a good MU for us?
Ness don't give me more problems than normal

Fixed, thanks for pointing it out.

Mew2?
Really?

I also found that bowser is pretty good vs Bayo scrubs now i need a counter for the corrin scrubs

 

[Kotor]

Mew2?
Really?

On the hands of the right player, Mewtwo can become a threat. Within my circle, there's one who can counter my Robin. Yaki can confirm this.

Any vids please of this player at all?

Interesting. In what way do you feel Mewtwo bests us? It does have intimidating range and power for sure, but don't a lot of its moves extend its hurtbox? I may be incorrect, but I don't remember Mewtwo having significant disjoint on tilts and such, in which case it seems like we'd be able to wall it out. I could definitely see it being scary offstage though considering our mediocre aerial mobility.

If people are doubting Mewtwo in general please watch the following video

I play Mewtwo frequently, so I'll try to give my thoughts.

Mewtwo's biggest asset that helps him in this MU is his mobility. Mewtwo has one of the fastest air and ground speeds in the game, so that's a great to have in the matchup. Corrin's own projectile does little to help him against Mewtwo, especially since Shadow Ball cancels it out and Mewtwo can easily reflect it back with confusion. Mewtwo in general also has very good aerials, and up air kills off the top. Since Corrin has trouble escaping combos, Mewtwo has no trouble doing fair chains at low percents or nair juggles on him. Mewtwo may die early due to his low weight and can easily be combo'd if not careful due to his size, but I believe he wins if only due to how strong his defense game is and how well he can wall Corrin out. We also edgeguard Corrin easily due to his mediocre recovery, and can make it back due to our high jump, especially with Confusion and Teleport factored in.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Kirby lacks the reach to contend with most of Corrin's attacks. Also, Stone is pretty much no good with Counter Surge being present.

 

[Dark Phazon]

What is the majoritys opinion on if we will get another balance patch?

Do most think we will or not?

 

[Acker]

I don't think Mewtwo it's a bad mu for Corrin.
I have a friend who main Mewtwo since release and his really good. Before Corrin came out when he used Mewtwo I always struggle to beat him and now looks like he is the one who struggle the most lol

I have to partially disagree to the edgeguard part.
Yes Corrin doesn't have the best recovery out there but he has a giant hitbox on it so Mewtwo can't really hit Corrin while recovering diagonally (if Corrin recovers vertically I think it's possible for Mewtwo to hit Corrin's head with a dair).
Except this I completely agree to everything, Mewtwo's movement speed in particular is really a problem for Corrin.

Right now this mu seems to me pretty balanced, but if I have to stay true to my experience I have to say it's a little more in Corrin's favor but I dunno, we need more time and more opinions to really answer this question.

 

[Thinktron]

Tts funny how Corrin ended up being more loved than Bayo, what are you guys thoughts on the Lucas matchup?
Recently been a matchup ive played a lot oh my god it is so much fun

Well then. So not only is Counter Surge capable of killing at low percents, it also has a windbox that sends you DOWN!

skip to the 1:40 mark.

OK
I definitely think Corrin's counter is them channeling Camilla's inner scarylady now
Better nerf Greninja

Sakurai seems to have a love for windboxes, especially how ridiculous it was with little mac
