All of them connect fine at low percent. But the forward combo pushes them too far after a certain point to hit other enders reliably. At lower percents, however, this strong pushback is the easiest way to get a tipper. Side, Side, Side very fast, delay, up-ender is pretty clean. It doesn't...

They tend to fall out of the Up-ender unless you do the full up combo after mid percents. The down combo only changes third and fourth hits (no second hit). They all do push back a different distance and I think the best way to get forward finisher to tip might involve using the up-route...

Ender won't lead into any combos, though the up-ender puts them in a very unfavorable position vs Marth. The Forward-ender, if you can by some miracle learn to get the tipper, can KO at a very reasonable time. Down ender is the usual: good damage if not blocked, good shield damage, but mega...

Yep. Even if you don't perform the slash.

I actually kinda believe the Pikachu hype after having played. Young link one somewhat as well. I expect to see MK being popular in early tournaments. In fact, am more excited about watching streams next weekend than actually playing because the month 1 meta is gonna be insane. The dust will...

What a surprise. I would be willing to be $20 that his hype is ridiculously overblown. Hearing people say he's supposed to be Brawl MK with the ladder... Come on people. EDIT: Before you come after me. I'll believe this character will be fine. He's a bit better than in smash 4 where he was an...

I would consider "not losing a stock on hit" to be pretty welcome. You can just use it for damage after a certain point.

SideB is a lot better than upB at recovering, that one has decent distance. Still, once you hit offstage, you are usually dead if the enemy goes for a gimp. This will be an important factor in Incineroar's tier placement. Don't delude yourselves that "recovery doesn't matter", because it always...

Their recovieries do suck, but at least theirs has some horizontal component unlike Chrom's. They also have the tether, so it's a few points up. Bottom 10 recovery for sure, maybe even bottom 5, but there's worse.

Mhm, the tiny butter knife from smash 4. This would definitely explain why the range in some moves feels reduced. Sweetspot would be grazing them with the tip of the sword, but now you actually have to get them properly inside the weapon. As you said, it's not much, but when you play Marth every...

Thanks for such a detailed response! Though I gotta say it's not very encouraging... I remember Marth had the best walk-speed, but that feature is kinda redundant this game where you can do tilts out of dash. I'll let you know right now I'm pretty sure the range on his moves was NOT increased...

Yeah, Uptilt is insane. When I play Snake it's the one mvoe I can reliably KO with. Not Brawl tier, but still very strong and unlikely to stale. The hitbox actually makes sense now.

So did Marth get any buffs besides the engine? Feeling a bit bad playing him versus AI.... The new jab is ugh. Also does the new Dair affect anything in practice?

Nop. It has new functions such as invul glowing, staling, enemy DI (random), fixed %s, making enemy do f-smash, showing launch trajectory predictions, but no record... Still a few years behind.

In case you had not seen: Apparently Upsmash has some invul? I've been enjoying that move.
