Honestly I'm curious to what Aerolink's thoughts are in that set vs Diddy. Aerolink's movement and mastery of Palutena looked better than ever, but he had trouble getting setups for those awesome kills, and in general got edged out. It looks to me that the customs definitely do help, such as allowing him an easier (and many times almost free, or at least unpunished) recovery back to the stage to neutral when launched off, and giving him more mixups.
But (at least in the case where you aren't able to get a very early kill with lightweight) it doesn't look like customs actually give her an *enormous* advantage. I feel like Aerolink would still perform almost the same without customs (judging from previous games against Denti), though I could be entirely wrong (I think I do recall Denti's diddy 2 stocking or almost 2 stocking Aerolink's palutena a few times, and that doesn't happen anymore with customs).
Is Denti just getting better too? Maybe Aerolink wasn't playing well?
Regardless, Aerolink's recent games are so fast paced epic hype ****. (Honestly it's still amazing looking back at the older games with him using default Palutena and how good his movement is. I still study those repeatedly). It's so fun to watch, I can't even fathom being able to understand the game at that level. A hallehooha or two would have completely changed the set, just too bad he didn't get any this time.
Anyway, on another note have you guys seen Ryo fight Diddies? I don't think he's on Aerolink's level. Probably a step down, but not a huge one. He might be slightly better at a couple aspects. He actually would play Ike and then counterpick Diddy with Palutena and succeed.
