There's really no getting around the fact that Aether is an awful recovery move. And without Quick Draw to patch things up, as well as presumably faster fall speed... Things aren't looking good for Chrom in the recovery department. It'll really be a matter of how much of an advantage his...

Chrom having actual threatening hitboxes at range makes him safer on shield and more of an actual zoner. I think he'll certainly have his own place alongside Roy, if not outright being better than him. Roy's double edge dance with good hitboxes sounds sick.

Sinji making top 50 is so exciting!! He put in a lot of work with Pac-Man, but I wonder where perception of the character is at the moment. There seems to be a general consensus that most of the projectile zoning characters are on a similar level of viability, with Villager, Mega Man, Toon Link...

Soooooo I stopped really playing this game a couple of months ago. Because graduation and mental health needed to be focused on, and I had lost the fire to win and improve a long time ago. My final assessment of the game reminds me that I never really had a main. Sort of. I always had a...

Sakurai is an odd fellow, and in Ultimate he seems to be giving us we he thinks we want, but in more of a "here, now leave me alone" kind of way. I'd love to see the series rebooted and headed up by someone else. Perhaps more involvement from Bamco. Ultimate looks great and I'm very hopeful...

If Smash had character bans, then you'd never be able to play your best character(s) unless your opponent doesn't know you at all. It doesn't make sense in fighting games, or really anything that isn't team-based with a big roster. You may see players opting to main a certain archetype of...

Corrin's worst matchups are against characters like Fox and Sheik who control the pace of the match and generally get more reward blow-for-blow. Marth's biggest weakness is his ability to land. He's quite susceptible to juggles. If you want a character that goes head to head with the meta...

Hey! I would say that Bowser and Marth are often secondaries or pocket characters for a reason. They can largely get by on strong fundamentals, with a requisite character knowledge floor that's lower than many. Lucario requires a bit more character knowledge and specific execution to be...

I agree that order within tiers is counterproductive, but on the subject of DK and Bowser, I seem to recall Hikaru (who plays both) saying that he thinks Bowser is slightly stronger. Obviously he prefers DK regardless, and DK seems to be the more popular and effective pick. However, it seems to...

I'd wanna be :4palutena:, she's pretty, she's funny, and she's smart. The total package. If the question is who are we most like, I'm probably :4darkpit: because I'm very negative, and people forget I exist.

Well joke's on him then. Fox is just as good, if not better than Diddy. And oof, all those good players removed from the running for Bootcamp already. That event's meme status continues to inflate.

I imagine both Bayo and Cloud are pretty bad for Sonic simply because it's pretty unfeasible to whiff punish either character at a high/top level.

For the sake of variety, Diddy is probably the best pick. Yes, you're going to play a group of characters to counterpick, but the ones you hone and practice the most ought to have different play styles. Just to keep yourself sharp. Or play Marth and Roy if you like them best. That's my two...

Bowser is quite capable and straightforward, so definitely keep him sharp. He and DK are probably the best pocket characters in the game. I can see why you struggle with very projectile heavy characters; none of your lineup have particularly strong anti-zoning tools (like a reflector I guess but...

Yeah but who needs all that commit stuff when you just need to get a grab? :yeahboi:
