    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    I'd agree with your post if this was a recently thing, but if you look through the history of the data project Falcon is no stranger to these high placings Phase 5 placing: 17th Phase 4 placing: 14th Phase 3 top 16/8 placing: 16th/19th Final 1.1.6 top 16 un/weighted placing: 15th Final 1.1.6 top...

    They deserve it for turning off their brains like that. Wii Fit's grab range(outside of pivot) is terrible and grab reward is so minimal the only reason they should be attempting to dash grab Puff is after a sun charge when people just hold shield, but even then Puff can safely pound to beat a...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    I find the MU even or slight in either favor. Personally I've never lost to a Puff and I've played quite a few, but I've never felt like I've had a solid advantage against her or felt like it was anything close to an uphill battle. I find her crouch to be pretty useless compared to Kirby since...

    Weight dependent throws are not a smash 4 exclusive mechanic. They've existed since melee and are not exclusive to combo throws either with the most prominent example being Mario's back throw. Weight dependent throws exist to help balance some throws, make the game more dynamic, and they just...

    If you were to ask Cashmere himself he would say Pichi is the 2nd best Falcon. He might be biased cause he is a big fan of Pichi, but whenever discussion comes up he never puts himself as second best.

    The counterplay for or both characters at the time Aba picked them up was very different allowing Aba to get a boost in placements similar to early day Bayos when he used Mewtwo and having to play catch up when he picked up Bayo

    Zeta is not the best ZSS in Florida. Nick Riddle still kinda holds that title and even then Tumultus is still higher than Zeta. So at best he's 3rd.

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    How else can you describe a character that only really has a slew of 33rds to his name with an occasional 9th at best and the general results of a low tier? I'd almost say Wii Fit ,Zard ,and G&W were better and are more accomplished if I didn't know how awful they all really are(G&W is pretty...

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    Not a bad write up but calling her MUs vs top tiers "ain't that bad" and a solid mid tier is extremely generous. The character is pretty solidly bottom 15 and I don't see her making her way out of it. Her MU spread is just terrible beating no one relevant while losing to many relevant characters...

    Fox definitely doesn't have a bad recovery, and Falco's isn't that bad due the the sheer speed of Phantasm. With something like 352 angles on firefox and 3 different illusion shortens lengths calling it a poor recovery is a bit silly.

    Official 4BR Tier List V3 - Competitive Insight & Analysis

    No one's saying it's good, but it's better than "lol hit him" which is what this conversation is looking like. Falcon does have high air speed and can weave well to make his recovery more ambiguous. He has options to go high, low and instant edge grab like cloud. Also are we going to ignore...

    Knockback stacking. Robin can force this to happen through Arc Thunder. Clouds can just happen sometimes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzxXaf7nkdI?t=29s https://twitter.com/Ruben_dal/status/830844614672338944 https://www.ssbwiki.com/Knockback#Knockback_stacking Another edit: Actually...

    I wouldn't call it a hard counter. Against players that are weak at landing or just have a bad disadvantage state or can't properly capitalize on DK in the air it's a fine choice. With a punish game like his out of a grab and nowhere to land a simple powershield can seal a game.

    With good DI you won't be dying at these percents. Down and away murders the launch speed and gives you the best DI. In training mode Mario is living at 120% on the top plat. Of coarse Zard is very much a character that loves, abuses and is designed to use rage which makes it better, but you get...
