Tbf, same here really. It's been fine locally, just a lot of **** goin' on everywhere else.

At this point, 2020 almost feels like an extended Judgement Day, where salvation is simply surviving the year alive and unscathed.

I think this technique will have something of an impact, but I doubt it's going to be a major game-changer for two reasons: While timing may be trivial to execute, positioning yourself to land on an opponent's head can be difficult, especially on fast characters that tend to be better at...

I assume that 6.0.0 was going to be a bigger patch than it was, but at some point the devs decided to split the patch just to get Terry OOTD (which would explain stuff like the freeze glitch and G&W's model bug during Triple Wolf, along with the lack of significant game mode changes or additions).

That's an interesting idea that I've heard tossed around for a while now. Thing is, while the scene has previously banned techniques that were believed to be overcentralizing (infinite cape, Wobbling, etc), it has never banned an entire move solely on principle without banning the rest of the...

Competitive != Reproducible. Everyone brings up Poker as an obvious counterexample, but most trading card games (MtG, Yugioh, Pokemon TCG, Hearthstone...) are successfully played competitively, despite being the literal opposite of reproducible (your entire moveset is effectively randomized and...

Which is absolutely baffling to me. I thought the argument for banning something wasn't because it was merely OP or somehow "anti-competitive", but because it was overcentralizing. Items are banned because the game would focus almost entirely around them, due to their absurd power and random...

Hero honestly reminds me of Little Mac; both characters have some of the most extreme strengths and weaknesses in the entire game, which makes them incredibly volatile and frustrating to play (both as and against). Remember when Little Mac was considered OP on 3DS (and even Ultimate...

I like the idea, but a) either Cloud wouldn't really stand out or he would have up to 3 meters (Limit, FS, and EX), and b) adding a dedicated button to a feature that probably wouldn't be used very often seems a bit counter to Smash's deep-but-approachable philosophy. And I agree that this is...

The way the FS Meter is currently implemented in Ultimate doesn't have a lot of depth to it - you deal and take damage until it eventually fills, then just use the Final Smash, and it doesn't help that Final Smashes themselves are still poorly balanced. Others have suggested using the meter for...

Yeah, Hero's disadvantage is awful, and is likely his biggest weakness (probably on par with Little Mac, tbh). I think you have the right idea with using Zapple, jab, and up-tilt, but you should also mix it up with Frizz, Frizzle and your other tilts as well (especially down tilt since it's so...

I agree with the idea of a collection, though I'm not sure how they would handle the 3DS version. Most likely they wouldn't include it at all, though they could port the exclusive stages and modes to Smash Wii U for a "complete edition" of sorts. There are, of course, other issues like online...

I ranked Kirby low mostly because of Kirbycide, but in hindsight I might have gone overboard with that one. I could also see Peach drop to top of B tier, but I think Mii Swordfighter is fine in A tier (maybe bottom of A tier). The only things I would really consider dishonest about Falcon are...

Here's my second list, with these changes. I also dropped Ryu, Chrom, and Doc a fair amount, and shuffled the characters within tiers a bit where I felt it made sense.

Here's my first attempt at an "honesty" tier list: I tried to base it on the criteria in the OP, but there's no concrete scoring algorithm or anything going on here. That said, characters lower on the tier list generally follow these patterns: Are more capable or dependent on camping, or at...
