    Pokkén Tournament Who do you main?

    Machamp because I know what's up. Frametraps and Oki all day, carry Whimsicott to turn bad matchups into good matchups. In matchups where my opponent has worse projectiles than me or doesn't use them much regardless I'll go with other supports. Also Scary Face....just Scary Face.

    Pokkén Tournament What Rank are you currently?

    I'm at C5 with an 81% winrate. I've been really busy but hopefully I'll be able to put more time into the game soon.

    Pokkén Tournament Machamp Support and Cheer Skill Discussion

    I feel even with Reshiram's imminent nerfs it's still a good pick as it's the only support to buy a full screen length. You are right though, Electrode and Fennekin are also quite good, Fennekin in particular is a good safe choice in just about any matchup thanks to the invuln frames it offers...

    Pokkén Tournament Machamp Support and Cheer Skill Discussion

    I'm not meaning to imply Machamp has horrible frame data all around, he's certainly not as bad as many of the traditional grappler archetype, but it is somewhat slow in areas compared to other characters is more what I meant. Rotom is very good vs Pikachu Libre and Gengar in particular, since...

    Pokkén Tournament Machamp Support and Cheer Skill Discussion

    As a character Machamp has a lot of power behind his moves, but his slower frame data and low overall mobility make it hard to approach to actually make use of your strength in certain matchups. In other matchups opponents speed is simply overwhelming and can be very hard to deal with as well...

    Pokkén Tournament Machamp Viability?

    I'm a bit late to this discussion but this is my take on it after taking Machamp through Ranked mode for a ways: Machamp is prefectly viable on his own, but may be hard to stick with as a solo main. Machamp has some matchups where you're going to have to work hard and which feel unfair but which...

    Pokkén Tournament Recover's usability

    Recover is considered air born for the purposes of moves like Electroweb and Rotom assists, though Magneton's Tri Attack will not strike you. Additionally attacks which seemingly only strike the ground can still hit you even if you avoid lows, like the Quagsire assist or Gengar's Curse...

    Anything you feel is over-hated about the game?

    Smash 4 as a whole game is overly hated and looked down upon. Expanding off of the "customs are jank" comment earlier, people are so ready to call ZSS Up air combos or Mario's infamous Up B 0% kill as "Jank" but then turn around at get excited watching 0% shine spike number whatever or up throw...

    Olimar Video Thread!(?)

    This is a friendly match I played against a buddy's fox a while ago. I mained the heck out of Olimar in Brawl and I've been getting around to him in this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrBpIXlGsA4

    Best Stage Picks for Ryu?

    I think Lylat, while it has its obvious weaknesses, can be good against characters less mobile than Ryu. FADC really allows us to jet across the stage and control the platforms. The layout really allows for tricky movement almost constantly and we have strong up tilt which pokes through all...

    Swordsmen are all the same?

    The only thing universal among all swordsmen is the down smash which is natural as down smashes are meant to hit on both sides. Even counters have differences at the very least in terms of their animation with the exception of Lucina and Marth who use identical animations for nearly everything...

    Social 7th Heaven - Cloud Social Thread

    Cloud's down tilt looks like it's even lower profile than Luigi's crouch, so he'll likely be able to slide past Fox and Falco lasers as well at the very least. May be able to dodge pikmin even!

    K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

    It'd be kind of a nice bookend with his last appearance currently being in a Baseball game. He moves onto tennis, then to Smash in one fell swoop what a kompelling renaissance man!

    K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

    For a stage from DKC I'd like to see the Gangplank Galleon, obviously. Less obviously I'd like Sunset Shore to be a stage as well. That aesthetic would be hard to pull off in Smash, but it'd be downright gorgeous if they managed to pull it off. The animal buddy crate item sounds like a lot of...

    K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

    I've wondered for a long time why he hasn't addressed things like this, but maybe he just doesn't know that fans wonder about it. Or maybe he thinks it'd be unprofessional to address things like this? Cultural differences might be apart of it too.
