I think the enhanced switching given to pokemon trainer is a huge plus, but that is hardly a good basis for thinking he will be top tier. At the very least he has "potential" like you said, but so does everything else. The individual pokemon need to be good for the character as a whole to be...

Let me preface what I'm about to say by stating I am not a Fire Emblem fan; although the games look interesting, I've never played an FE game and have no interest in playing one to be honest. When I first saw the the reveal, I thought "Wow, we are going to get another Marth/Lucina, Roy, Ike...

I main Samus, but I'm looking to pick up Roy as a co-main, so I'm still relatively new to this character. Played a match against a Ct. Falcon, would appreciate some constructive criticism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFrGAWgTSdY

That's how it goes, I know it's hard to admit, but Samus isn't a very good character. This is the life we chose. However, there a few things you can do in this match up. In Neutral (long range) you want be spacing zair and charging neutral B, Mario is not too fast on the ground, so he can't...

@leiraD I agree entirely. I also have experience with Diddys, MVD shows up to the same local I go to and he really is no joke. I personally struggle against Diddy, but I can see this match up being 50/50, for the sole reason that our edge guard game is really strong against him. Diddy and Sheik...

She was really good lol. To be fair, she was not nerfed super hard. I remember her up air being nerfed because it just killed at way to early percents, and in this patch her back air was nerfed. those are the major ones that i can remember off the top of my head. I think you brought up an...

Going up against someone like professor pro definitely gives you good insight on the match-up, since he's a really strong player, but yes I do believe there are other reasons that makes this match-up difficult. Sheik also happens to have an excellent projectile. I don't want to say she can out...

While I agree that Sheik has poor kill options against us, I strongly think that this match-up in not 50/50. Like you mentioned Sheik has great frame data and this allows her to take advantage of even the smallest of mistakes. She has great frame traps making it difficult to detach her from us...

Does anyone have any solid knowledge on the Diddy MU? He seems to have far superior frame data and hit boxes. How do you deal with an aggressive Diddy? I know Samus has incredible tools for edge guarding him, but we lose in every other aspect from my own personal experience. I literally have to...

The Olimar MU appears to be really tough. All his pikmin negate Samus's projectiles and he has an incredibly safe f-smash to cover our grounded approaches. At first glance it seems he wins the projectile game, which forces Samus to approach then punishes with safe attacks; I think we need to...

Im not entirely sure, but it looks like King Dedede initiated his neutral b right before you hit him. That might have been what caused you to propel forward. I can't see any other explanation why that would have happened outside of some bug/glitch.

All right. What I recommend is to first grab the ledge.You can think of this as kind of like training wheels;with enough experience you wont need to grab the ledge. You then press back or down on the analog stick and let yourself drop for a bit, depending on where you want the cloud to form...

Well, it depends on what you are having problems with. Is it getting the sweet spot, or setting up the actual attack?

Good write up. Its just another option Pikachu has at his disposal for edge-guarding. With the virtually no kill set-ups (at least to my knowledge), he really needs to make the most of every off-stage situation and to be honest I don't really know why anyone would consider B-Air to stage spike a...

Thanks for taking the time to make this thread. For whatever reason there are barely any competitive threads for Olimar; its a shame since he's an interesting character, but anyways looking forward to your thoughts on the Rosalina match-up. Perhaps you can do a match-up breakdown for Little Mac...
