Except wasn't people spacing their up-Bs to avoid 2-framing also a thing in Smash 4? Exact differences between Inkling and the rest of the cast aside, people still missed 2-frames a lot in Smash 4 for one reason or another, usually people mixing up both their spacing and timing with up-Bs, so it...

One thought I had was to hold a kind of town hall or AMA-style thing where the people who are most connected to making a ruleset answer questions from others, so they can get more of a feel for how different groups within the community might be viewing things. There are admittedly a bunch of...

Even under the old stage-striking system, you need 4X + 1 stages to be able to strike fairly. Having only those four stages cannot possibly work. And on the more general topic of whether to start with more or less stages, this series' history is clear: stages that are removed for any...

I find it funny how I mentioned the idea of picking a small amount of stages from a bigger pool for use in a single set in a post on the first page of this thread, only to dismiss it because it would end up complicating things too much, and then a bunch of other people spent most of the rest of...

How many cases of identical types of stages are there, actually? Only ones I can really think of are Midgar (to BF) and the two Pokemon Stadiums (to each other, obviously). Yoshi's Story, Wily's Castle, and Unova Pokemon League each have walls that go down to the bottom blast zone, which I think...

The hazard toggle is one of the biggest things to happen to Smash in a while imo. With such a large number of stages that should be considered unequivocally legal, and thus too many for traditional stage striking to be feasible, I also think the stage selection system needs an overhaul...

I like the pick of Bomb Rush Blush! Team Callie here too lol. I don't know a ton of songs from Splatoon 2, but Ebb and Flow is fantastic and I would love to Smash to that :)

My 5: :ultness: :ulticeclimbers: :ultpokemontrainer: :ultridley: :ultzelda: No idea how confident I am in the last two but I really wanna try out their playstyles in Ultimate.

I'm not exactly an "old friend" but I just love that there's a chance for Pokemon Trainer to be done right this time. Even if they're not someone I stick with, I bet they'll still be fun to watch. Also no joke, Leaf being in the game was one of my favorite additions to see during the Direct :)...

Near the end of my time with Brawl (fall 2009), I was in a rut for a variety of reasons, and as I started to take the game less seriously, I wanted something to help shake things up and cool my head a bit, among which included looking at videos to see if any other characters looked like fun...

I remember Adam "Keits" Heart (one of the lead designers for Killer Instinct) saying something similar a while ago. His wording was something like "by hiding tech, you're assuming no one else will find it or find a counter to it". I can see why people might want to hide something since winning...

Ness' F-air does 7% - it's just the last hit that does 4%. So two of these with staling is equal to one U-air, and three obviously does more. D-throw to F-air to U-air may do around the same damage as D-throw to triple F-air (like 1% more or so), but it's generally more reliable at lower...

Well @Lavani had that link to a gif that showed Rosa being able to avoid the 2 vulnerable frames, and hers is not a teleport recovery, so I'm assuming most if not all characters can do this. But regarding this thing in general, would I be right in describing it as avoiding the 2 vulnerable...

To be fair, he's #16 on the tier list now, so him not being top 15 anymore isn't exactly news lol. I'll give you his neutral game and disadvantage state, though I'd argue PK Fire isn't something you should be using much in neutral anyway. The thing I disagree the most on is his combo game. I...

I feel like if knowing so many matchups is gonna be difficult even for top players, it'll mainly be because knowing all the intricacies of every character to the same extent as dedicated mains (presumably top-level mains in this case as well) is a much taller order than doing the same for the...
