    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    I’m definitely not comfortable sharing about all 70+ matchups with complete certainty lol, but I think what I’m finding is that Bowser can legit go toe to toe with almost any archetype of character. I even think Bowser wins a few matchups against top characters such as Fox and MAYBE inkling...

    Yeah I’ve been starting to pick up Chrom because characters such as Joker and Peach seem pretty brutal for Bowser honestly. I just got back from a weekly that I go to that has consistently ~90 entrants each time (want to do a write up soon because I have gotten a much clearer idea of a how I...

    I guess if you want to bring the concept of balance into that kind of light then you’re completely right, but I’m just a simple kind of guy who likes talking about smash bros on the internet, and I still stand by my last point that whether EVO is played on patch 3.1 or 4.0, it’s gonna be a...

    You act as if “dealing” with arguably the most balanced version of smash bros we’ve ever seen is gonna be a problem. Let’s be real here dude, patch 3.1 is a well made and very balanced version of smash and to pretend otherwise makes me want to sit you down to smash 4 Bayonetta or brawl Ice...

    I’m don’t really feel like addressing whether Luigi is a dumb character or not because quite frankly I don’t really care about defining what makes a character “dumb” or not because I could make an argument after the Elegant and Marss set that ZSS is a very dumb character that should be hit hard...

    Teamwork imo is always going to be a bigger factor than something like mobility or some other game-related strength/weakness when it comes to doubles. The reason you saw Elegant and his double partners (more often then not, he teamed up with a lesser known villager from the same area who went...

    Meta Hero and Banjo-Kazooie Speculah

    As someone who is a low key huge fan of Dragon Quest, you don’t know how hype I am for this dlc. The character from the trailer looks so cool and I am fully willing to co main him. I was already super cool with the roster we had already but I’m so happy that I got someone that I didn’t even...

    Very happy to see Elegant do well with Luigi again, he’s been working really hard with a character that isn’t super great in this game and it’s moments like this where you can really see that kind of hard work pay off. For all that he lost, an optimized Luigi is still one of the scariest...

    Out of curiosity, does anyone happen to know how badly Pichu’s f tilt was nerfed? How much kill power exactly was taken away from the move?

    What Young Link really wants I feel are Toon Link’s smash attacks. While YL’s kills at reasonable percents come almost entirely out of set ups and combos, TL is not limited strictly to those kinds of set ups and has access to his up and side smashes: Two moves that are both strong and pretty...

    Watching the VOD now and I can already tell Cosmos played shook the whole set. Between the crowd being that hype and the momentum that Bowser gains when he crushes your stock sub 100 percent it’s hard to come back in that sort of environment and Cosmos just couldn’t. Lots of mess ups from him...

    Gosh the jab buffs were something I’ve wanted since day one and I’m super happy that they happened. If I had a dollar every time Luigi’s jab just didn’t connect, I would main that character still just to make bank. Incineroar was another character who’s jab just didn’t connect sometimes. Also...

    I think what keeps DK out of being the best heavyweight in the game to me personally is that fact that his disadvantage state is legitimately awful and might have been the worst in the game had Little Mac never existed. Say what you want about other heavies and their disadvantage state. At...

    This is very true and if I had seen others praise joker to the moon and back on the first day I’d make the same point that it is only day one and we should calm down with any claims of how good this character actually is. It just seemed as if a lot of people here were over blowing how bad joker...

    Daily reminder to just make sure we don’t overreact to a BRAND NEW character :). For all the talk of how “meh” Joker feels, just remember that when Cloud first was introduced into smash 4, everyone (or at least a good majority) of people came here and spoke about how “meh” Cloud was as well...
