Prior to Ultimate, Ganondorf was almost as bad in free-for-alls. I always switched to Link for those.

I just want to say, if solo maining ever becomes nonviable, then that implies there are some extreme balance and/or core game design issues.

Jiggly nailed it on the head. I think playing a ton has improved my ability to read naturally. You should only get super aggressive if you can read the opponent's mind and have a gameplan to confuse and finally tipper them. I am, of course, claiming that Marth (Sm4sh) is OP and has incredible...

New pivot grab. Now with balance. All characters can now escape and punish late-grab-followup strings via jumping. In theory anyway. Reminds me of Fantasy Strike (not that I've played that either...). Update: Ver 2.0.0 Bowser Jab: Increased power. fTilt: Increased power. dSmash...

I don't care about the cast much (I prefer playing games as myself), but I just don't think Brawlhalla matches up. ... Does nobody care about Dissidia 012? Turn off assists and that game is as good as Smash IMO. Better balanced, at least. Not to mention 3D that works and the battles look epic...

Oh, I didn't know about that. It doesn't sound like it was a bug though. It was probably changed for consistency or something.

Couldn't he do that in Smash 4? It's not really a trick, the game is just forgiving your endlag due to the fact that your laggy attack never had even a single active frame, a testament to it's lagginess.

Eh, Bowser has always been about the fundamentals (unless you were just spamming pivot grabs like everyone else). Mix up your approach with sideB's and edgeguard the hell outta that bird. Falco's recovery is linear and one good bAir is all you need. If you need priority to beat other aerial...

He was great when you weren't being constantly outranged, comboed, or gimped at 30%, but that was majority of the battle.

Does tough guy only work while Bowser stands still? Perhaps this is just an extension of tough guy, with the same effect but at new times? It sounds like it works to improve Bowser's trading capability, artificially improving his frame data in rare scenarios. Rare but powerful effect, as...

Ganondorf was already a close matchup in Sm4sh because his buffed Flame Choke beat a lot of our options and landings, even occasionally grabbing us out of Whirling Fortress. And it was a guaranteed dTilt followup unless we teched backwards, but that could be read and punished even harder with an...

Perhaps spam it less then? I'd feel inclined to use disjointed attacks to KO the featherweight. Oh... Is that Bowser's only great OoS option? Some damage is better than none I guess... I heard you can do it OoS without jumping now. That's awesome for players who don't use tap jump, like me. Now...

VOLCANOOOOO KIIIIICK!

Does the directional air dodge make it easier to recover without being gimped every time? Does it extend recoveries? I just played a few theoretical matches in my mind (too poor, no Switch yet) and this game is fun as hell. Smash 4 will be forgotten quickly. The removal of air dodge spam makes...

Well yeah, that's a problem with a lot of lower tiered characters. Even still, the grounded version has proved to be much more useful than the air version which loses to Mario's uSmash, which is just wrong. Not to mention failing to break shields due to shield slide, and being horribly...
