    I think playing more than one character is made a thing by some of the top 5 characters being near unbeatable for a lot of the cast. Steve and Sonic in particular, what are you supposed to do vs Acola or Sonix if your main gets destroyed? Without these top characters then almost all players...

    Brawl DDD also had a way more useful dair than his current. Also think the projectiles he had in brawl were arguably better but not completely sure. Definitely a far superior character irregardless of chains grab though. Edit: Nah the brawl projectiles were definitely better, they were...

    I don't think GnW is simple. Fairly easy to play sure, but he has a very varied moveset. He's got plenty of unique moves. This is not the case with Corrin. Her bair, pin, and dragonfang shot are not quite vanilla but the rest of her kit is very traditional. I guess I think that there's more...

    I would like to object saying that Corrins meta can evolve in response to more developed counterplay. But I don't think it can. She's too simple.

    Dunno man. Corrin is not a difficult character to learn, in fact I think she's among the easiest characters, and Sparg0 is an elite swordbro. I'm sure his Corrin will improve over time if he sticks to it, but not drastically.

    What you are saying about Aegis seems so obvious. I don't really get why no one really applies it. The essence you describe is something I thought about too. Plus players do not just not play like that, they will also stay Pyra in neutral, sometimes for ages, seemingly due to some unwarranted...

    Well yeah. That'd be interesting. I also think so. Can't really say why. Other than that there are and have been several very different flavors of Aegis, we had Cosmos way back, his Aegis was sort of a mess, I like that he tried to push Mythra's potential but I think he couldn't quite keep up...

    Brawl Ganondorf has a winning matchup? Edit: I mean to say "even" not "winning"

    About the whole standing under platforms and camping thing. It really is an issue imo. Shouldn't the stage list kind of be revised? Because it encourages this strategy imo as well as other forms of sleep inducing gameplay. I suppose though that it would just not be possible. Getting people to...

    I wonder if optimizing aegis will involve utilizing their swap more.

    Not to be racist but this has to be a case of japanese corpos being out of touch with reality again. This thing is too stupid to be anything else. They already screwed over ultimate immensely from the get go by giving it a joke of an online mode and inherent input delay in combination with a...

    Sure but while cross slash is baitable it's also ridiculously huge move that beats out pretty much all aerial approaches with some exceptions, does solid damage and can be cancelled. Cloud also has a functional dash attack that beats out most things unlike Lucina who has a never use this move...

    Javi has always been good and the scene could use more Roy for sure I'm trying to think of which character or characters that give Snake the most trouble and I'm coming up short, I assume its the characters who are most able to kill him when hes in disadvantage, whether it's fastfalling down to...

    This is cause for celebration. I was unsure of how it worked, if you had to get 1st place no matter what, and I only watched the games. The commentators probably explained it more than once but I was only focused on the gameplay. Having to beat Acola to get 1st place makes no sense for several...

    Hurt was an inch from defeating Acola. Nice to see Snake on board again among the top of the top. Edit: This hasn't really happened since Ally was banned. Apollokage was looking like he had the potential for a little while with some impressive wins but has since proven highly inconsistent. MVD...
