Honestly, the best plan is to not get hit with it much in the first place, especially as Corrin. Ganondorf seriously struggles to approach most of the cast, Corrin included, and his sideB travels a set distance so you know the exact range to avoid. If you're within that range, use your...

:4myfriends: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is my favorite video game of all time, and is largely responsible for me getting into video games as a major hobby. Ike in particular happens to be one of my favorite protagonists in any entertainment medium. I actually didn't know about the Smash...

Yup, you're Subaki from Fates. He's on the Hoshido side of Fates. Yeah, with her short hair and her... "features" cropped out it's a little tough to tell. But her haircut was actually an important plot point in Radiant Dawn. Here she is with long hair.

Nope, that's Cynthia from Awakening. She's the daughter of Sumia. Rides a pegasus. Lol. Mikoto is basically the Emmeryn of Fates, so you're not far off. She's Corrin's birth mom. Yup, it was the Wii game. Lucia was in that and the Gamecube Path of Radiance. She's a vassal and close...

*Of the realizable characters Sakurai either couldn't get the rights to other top picks, or couldn't come up with a moveset with his team.

You're better at playing better players because you are adapted to fighting against the kinds of strategies they use. Bad strategies are not necessarily bad because they have no merit. Oftentimes bad strategies are extremely effective against the unwary. But all bad strategies inherently have...

That's pretty much just a locals thing, since people can slay noobs with raw fsmashes and cookie cutter dthrow combos. It's the same reason you'll see many locals flooded with Captain Falcons and other fast, powerful characters who take a large amount of practice and know-how to exploit and...

I'm not really convinced by the Unreal Tournament study's claim that their result has nothing to do with player preference. Not controlling for that was dumb. Given that they were only accounting for at most 30 players, even a single dominant player with a color preference could skew the...

:4miisword: +1 Even with 1111, Mii Swordfighter is certainly not the 2nd worst character in the game, or even bottom tier for that matter. Has no one payed attention to the numerous endlag/power buffs he's gotten in recent patches? I'm not convinced he's some secret high tier or anything...

Wow, what's with all the Ike love? I mean, Ryo's fantastic and has had multiple impressive showings lately, but Wario had some crazy results from Abadango and ROB also has had solid representation from 8-BitMan (Ryo vs. 8BM was insanely hype). I would say Ike, Wario, and ROB are all more or...

:4sheik: :4zss: :rosalina: :4pikachu: :4pikachu: -1 Pika is certainly good, but ESAM is still the only player to do anything notable with the little mouse. At this point I feel like Pika's good results are at least partially just due to ESAM's skill. Sure, Pika has to be good enough to not...

Ike's vertical recovery is vulnerable to falling projectiles, like Sheik's aerial needles or Mario's fireballs, but those moves are generally in the minority. Ike can space Aether so that he never goes above the stage, which avoids any pure horizontal projectiles. And the risk of an Aether...

:4ryu::4metaknight::4falcon::4villager::4rob::4luigi:(:4pit::4darkpit:):4wario::4myfriends::4dk::4pacman::4peach: +1 :4ryu: I don't feel anyone else should change tiers. It's not just Ryo (though Ryo did make top 8 at MLG and STR as well as top 32 at TBH5). Ryuga and San also get solid...

If you're playing to win, then play who you can and will perform best with. Typically, this is a top tier character, since they have the most options and reward players the most for the same amount of practice. However, not all players are a good fit for all characters. For instance, I am...
