I'm now picturing Sheik but with Byleth's forward smash and it makes me chuckle, but I don't think I would appreciate that change overall. As far as using a knife/needles for a little bit of range/disjoint, I feel like such a change would come at the cost of some speed on her moves, which I...

Nothing holds Sheik back in this game from being high tier if you work hard enough, but the bottom line is the actual top tiers of the game can accomplish just as much with a lot less effort put in, and most characters can at least keep up with again much less technical skill or precision...

I was doing 4-player-randoms once and I pulled Robin, my buddy pulled Rosalina. So I started doing that thing where I send thorons and Rosa DownB's them, swirling them around and hitting everyone on the stage. Very wild animation and a very strong attack.

I think she's not a high tier, but no lower than mid. While her kill power is actually great now as of the latest patch, her damage output is simply too un-rewarding for the amount of effort her combos require. Compare her to a definite top/high tier like Daisy: -Both are combo monsters capable...

Just remember no option is un-counter-able, if you know the appropriate punish. DK's sideB is most easily punished by roll behind -> grab (unless they are reading your roll and attacking the other direction!). Other options include ranged attacks or projectiles which keep you out of harms way...

Not a bowser main but I like to play him aggressively. I find the most success in really throwing myself at the opponent because I know bowser can take it. I like to use the character's speed to punish my opponent's defensive options, which only makes them more scared, and so on. It is when they...

1) Definitely Brawl MK. While Magic Burst is without doubt the best move across any smash game, it is unreliable because of the whole menu RNG deal. If every smash attack was a crit, and you always got big/invincible from hocus pocus, and you always got whack/thwack KOs, then yeah, Hero takes...

If you really think MK needs Brawl buttons back in order to compete, it's not the character's fault that something is going wrong. I'll quote myself from another thread: It's the same thing but in reverse: I don't like the idea that just because a character is bad (which I also debate above)...

The difference between Toon and Young Link is when I'm playing Young Link I feel like I'm desperate to get every kill. Toon Link has many of the same projectile kill confirms as young link but he also just has strong moves that get the job done by themselves: fair, upB, up air, up smash, forward...

If you are on stage, just focus on closing the distance between you and plant before they launch the spike ball. Imagine the arc of the move... there's a pretty huge blind spot right next to plant, right? It can only launch it so close to itself. Your goal should be to enter that blindspot and...

The original context of Lucas getting below puff was in off-stage situations. Since puff can't fall very fast, Lucas can escape below her and gain enough space to either start an upB or tether back to ledge. Lucas' upB is brutally susceptible to three things: -disjointed aerials, especially...

Using down special is also a great stall move in the air, if you need to mix up your timing to fool an opponent. While linear, Rosa's up B is very fast, so if an opponent is early in their attempt to edgeguard you, they've likely missed their chance.

excellent images. thanks for the info.

Actually I think a very brawl-esque neutral game of walking around, advancing with down tilts (frame 3), threatening down smashes (frame 4), and retreating with forward tilts (frame 6), is very effective when you mix in his god-tier burst option dash attack (frame 7). As for air camping /...

I think the diversity of pikmin characteristics is what makes Olimar so dynamic and cool of a character, in both a casual and competitive setting. So, when players were slamming their c-sticks on account of the broken frame data of his smash attacks, that put a big frown on Nintendo's faces. All...
