    How to counter Bowser?

    Don't let him land. Very rewarding!

    The 10 characters you most fear/dislike playing against online

    I have three :ultkingdedede: Gordos are ready hard to deflect with lag, so your only safe option is to shield which leaves you with like 10 years of shield stun. :ultganondorf: A lot of his very strong but reactable moves become unreactable online, forcing you to get a correct read or die...

    Adapter for Smash Ultimate

    Oh yeah, mine used to do that awhile ago, but it hasn't had that problem in months. Weird.

    Losing is affecting my self-esteem

    One thing you need to keep repeating to yourself when you get upset from a loss is "Be Zen." But what does that mean? Contrary to popular belief, meditation isn't about clearing your mind of all thoughts, because that's impossible. Real meditation is *allowing* those thoughts to occur without...

    Smash U is not on a 'new engine'. Change my mind.

    It's 100% a semantics issue. People are using the word inaccurately. We all understand what they mean anyway. The end.

    Adapter for Smash Ultimate

    Some people say the Mayflash 4-port is laggy because apparently the polling rate is lower than the official adapter, but the values they give are less than a frame, so even if they're correct on the numbers, it shouldn't make a difference anyway. From personal experience I've had 0 input lag...

    so how much do we think directional air dodging is actually gonna shake up the meta?

    So many tourney commentators are saying the same thing over and over: "It's so hard to get out of disadvantage in this game;" "Airdodging has been heavily nerfed;" "Strings are so much longer because of airdodging." But in the very matches they commentate, the players are escaping disadvantage...

    B-Air Tips

    For RARs, it's better to slow down and make sure you get the turnaround, than try to go too fast and not get it. Slower RARs are still almost as good. Eventually you can tighten up your timing once you're more confident with the inputs.

    Grabbing out of shield

    I tested a little and you can, but the buffer system in this game is really arbitrary at times. You can indeed buffer a turnaround grab, but the buffer window for grab starts earlier than the one for the turnaround. So if you input grab during the window where only grab is read, you won't...

    Official v1.2.0 Patch Discussion Thread

    Be sure to test the minutiae of the input buffer system and c-stick interactions! Also, for those who have the proper equipment, it would be helpful to see if the input lag has been reduced. Previously it was about 6-7 frames, but a decrease of, say one frame, would be incredibly hard to...

    Where's his tail?

    Now it all feels like like a small manhood joke, which is just eugh.

    Where's his tail?

    Oh, you're right! It's so tiny! I know he's supposed to be a silly character, but imo, a good villain design can still look silly and imposing at the same time. But now he just looks like a joke, lol.

    Where's his tail?

    Sorry if it's nitpicky, but he looks so weird without one, like a balloon, or like he's unbalanced and is about to topple over. I always felt like visual design is important in Smash, and to me, this makes him look really unappealing and undesirable to play as. And confusingly, the K. Rool Mii...

    Pre-Release The future of wave dashing/wave landing.

    It looks like we have plenty of great grounded options in neutral now, enough that would make the grounded Wavedash obsolete. But the mechanic had another benefit that a lot of people forget, which was platform Wavelanding, something that you can't really replace with other options. Platform...
