    Swear to god, people saying ZSS loses because ducking beats her are as terrible as people saying TripleD has a good Sheik MU because needles don't reflect Gordos. I thought the strike-through made the joke obvious. Guess not. I'd probably agree if he had air control. Right now Roy's mobility...

    People with **** spacing get completely bodied by Roy. Besides TripleD side B spam, he's the most perfectly designed scrub-stomper. Definitely explains Marcina's poor placements compared to him. Pretty sure most people on reddit still believe Marth is unusable garbage.

    There's the mindset that people want a list early and adapt it as people find new strats / develop MUs / patchs come and go. Basically have a list for the sake of having one and discussing placements. And there's the mindset that "we should wait because we don't know enough about the game just...

    You have no idea how much I missed your posts man. Try SF4 C.Viper on a gamepad. "Too early for a tier list" is a recurring meme that just won't die, isn't it? Truth is, we all pretty much have a rough idea of what the placings look like. People are just scared to call their list a "tier...

    I never saw him having much trouble killing as much as he just cannot afford trading. His lightweight body is for me a much more glaring flaw in the character. Something that also most likely won't be patched later on. As you said, his edgeguarding is pretty solid, key spiking is very real...

    "X is not a bad character if you do not compare it to better alternatives." I agree that she's severely underestimated, but that reasoning doesn't make sense to me. For all intents and purposes, she's worse than Marth, and Marth isn't considered super viable right now. That makes Lucina bad...

    I definitely do not see him in low tier. He's light, but can effectively kill early. Disjoints all over the place, godlike Upsmash. His recovery is also stupidly good. Definitely one of the hardest characters to edgeguard. If he's low tier, he's at the upper end of it. He's most likely not any...

    Data Happy Feet - Falco Video Thread

    King James is (was?) a Dedede main. He posted some videos on the TripleD boards and asked for some critique. I more or less taught him the basics of the character. Funny how we both seem to flock towards the same characters. But holy **** that Falcon recovering on stage all the time.

    It's damage based. Pit's Nair does 0.5%-1% 0.7% damage per hit, except the final one. Damage threshold is set to 2%, as in every move dealing 2% damage or more will reflect it. If it was knockback based, needles would bounce them. It was lowered from 3% in 1.04 If it wasn't usable against us...

    Yeah, no. I'd argue TripleD has a slightly better neutral because of better disjoints, I feel it's honestly much easier to space as TripleD. Also, knockback or not, Gordos are a pressure tool Ganon has to deal with physically. That being said, matchup is stupidly volatile because of how...

    Because bad is a relative term. If Zelda was the only character in the game, she couldn't be labeled as bad since there are no better options. It's all semantics at this point, but "He's good but other characters are so much better than him" still means he's bad. Also holy **** you guys still...

    And as people get better at PP and abusing his ludicrous frame data, he could skyrocket into a "I thrash on characters with **** neutral" barrier kind of character. He probably sorta kinda already is. As you said, it can go both ways. The main issue probably comes from being the character...

    Honestly have no idea how you concluded that "edgeguarding someone is not as braindead as you imply" equals to "I'm afraid to edgeguard Falcon".
