One thing that people are neglecting when saying that Marth's tippers kill at earlier percents, is that Lucina is already doing more damage on average than Marth. Yes he might kill better at '80' for example, but Lucina's opponent's % would be higher, and that's something to remember when...

Many were talking about matchup experience, counterpicking, and secondaries being a constant and necessary presence at top level - and it's arguably the most constant and consistent counterpicker with the widest fighter pool that takes the entire tourney. As Shaya said:

As far as data for Mewtwo vs Donkey Kong goes, we saw Mew^2 lose to DKWill at SBW4. . DKWill won 3-0 in Winner's finals, and 3-2 in Grand Finals against Mew^2. Mew^2 triple 2 stocked Mew2King's Cloud in Winner's Semi's. M2K brought out his DK in loser's finals and lost 2-3. For reference, M2K...

Since many posters aretalking about how Nietono @HoSmash4 and Aba @BunbUn129 @ARISTOS @Das Koopa are playing their respective mains winning matchups wrong, I think you should go in more depth - what should they have been doing, and why wouldn't these top players have done so in their...

I've often still been unsure about Bayonetta since the 1.1.6 patch - many initially called her dead, other top players said she was fine, she was was still getting a few results after the patch here and there but nothing too standout to me (some top 16s). But seeing Saj able to take a set...

Sova Unknown (Link) 2-0s Umeki (Peach) in Winner's Quater's at Xanadu. No SDs, super rage kills, or anything here. Projectiles/ threat of zair really seemed to prevent free floats for movement or otherwise. I know Rain is often talked of having troubles stateside, but I haven't ever heard the...

Leo also just 3-0 ed Mr. R's Sheik in Grand Finals 1 of Smash Factor with Solo Marth. Bracket Reset now. https://www.twitch.tv/smashfactorgaming EDIT: Leo Up 2-0 in Grand Finals 2 with solo Marth.... Final Edit: Leo's solo Marth loses Grand finals 2 with a 2-3 score.

Interesting things from ZeRo's after tourney interview: He's picked up Cloud (by which I mean he's using him in tourney matches, everyone has a pocket Cloud :secretkpop:), but isn't sure what matchups to use him in. He switched to Cloud for his second game with Nicko's Shulk after going to...

Rosalina should be added for Vinnie.

Speaking specifically about your point #2, characters being able to teach you other specific things better - I wholeheartedly agree and this is something I noticed in myself. With playing say, Ganondorf vs playing Ryu. Sometimes Ryu can let you get away with just full hop nairing onto people's...

I've been meaning to respond to this, I've only just had the time. I've shortened the quote to the part I think you should reconsider. Mainly, I definitely feel like someone having success with a character outside of pools should be counted. One example I feel the rule as you have it could...

I'm with @Ninety here ... currently thinking I need to take another look at Shulk. Sure Darkwolf lost 3-0 to Alphicans, but this is the man who turned around and went to game 5 against Nairo, Beat Istudying, and JJRockets. 13th against this kind of competition is no joke. Not only does Sol...

I've read the rules, and would like to join. Shulk in Smash introduced me to Xenoblade Chronicles, which I played and loved. I still play a ton of Shulk (Which is why he's one of the 'sacred 4' in my avatar picture), and I own a life sized Monado.

He seems to use Cloud quite often actually. He went Solo Cloud for all of 2GGT: The False Awakens, and went Cloud right after losing a game to K9's Sheik in winner's semis two weeks ago as well as after dropping two games to ConCon's Luigi. etc,etc. The biggest problem is that some people might...

While I'd also like to hear what makes it even, I used to hear this description (Ryu is strictly a better Ganondorf in all ways) and it's not exactly true. Having played both characters, one thing Ganondorf has over Ryu overall is just how gigantic his hitboxes are in comparison. For example...
