The problem is that since smash has such broad appeal, some people will be disappointed no matter what. As far as cuts go, I imagine it will either be unpopular characters from larger franchises, or due to failed negotiations for 3rd parties. Smash has had surprisingly few cuts in the past, and...

The real problem with Steve is his extraordinary damage and frame data, moreso than his more unique properties. Those are tricky, but the ability to kill in 2-3 neutral wins is the main driving force behind the characters power. Even wood tool Steve is far above average in the damage department.

Happy 6th XC2 anniversary folks! Will update my picture when it actually decides to work.

Joker is pretty stressful/intensive for co maining as far as I remember.

Villains tend to work well as they are more flexible in base material than protagonists, due to not being playable. It allows for funky stuff that wouldn't work in the hands of a playable character.

The very simple answer is that yes, it still does act as quasi-immortality, it is just that people simply don't regard this as much due to the wider range of franchises, and due to being in a older generation. To be fair some characters have benefited far more than others, with Xenoblade and FE...

Sure the instruments are better, but it doesn't really fit Splatoon or the inklings very well, at least in my opinion.

I wonder if Sakurai will ever address the state of sonic and Steve on his YouTube channel, both seem to be as far from his recommendations as physically possible.

Wouldn't charging tilts that way prevent the angling of moves? Correct me if I am wrong.

The problem with many good bad games is that they are based off of literature or movies and thus may not fit the criteria for smash. Genuine solo bad games often fall into the infinite pit of recent super low budget indie games, so picking one out from the crowd might actually be harder than...

I think that a good way of balancing things could be to have a sheildstun multiplier. Positive values for slow heavies, allowing them to have better safety on shorter moves, and negative values for projectiles, to better balance zoners.

A bit late to the discussion but having been to the USA a couple of times, I believe a very good place to go is the Kennedy space center. Lots of awe inspiring stuff there, and the biggest building I have ever seen.

If the traditional discourse has slowed down a fair bit, would it be worthwhile looking at the Amiibo meta? A lot of pretty interesting stuff there, and there should be some new developments with the addition of the new Pyra and Mythra amiibo (hopefully there will be a Sora one some time in the...

The crux of the problem is that unlike in standard fighters, projectiles have incredibly low risk due to faster movement and bigger stages (also projectiles in smash have much better frame data than other games). As such, they should also be low reward. Currently characters like samus can easily...
