I'd say even, if slightly in R.O.B.'s favor but still not easy. You can't rely on reflecting because a lot of Snake's tools involve dropping things on the ground, including grenade. That said, I feel like R.O.B. wins at range, but if Snake gets up close he can beat us up pretty badly...

It helps to study the projectiles you're struggling against. @Crystanium 's synopsis is great for Young Link, but do you know how to handle R.O.B.'s gyro or lasers? Mewtwo's shadow ball? Pikachu's thunder jolt? These all have different properties, and all have weaknesses you can exploit once...

When you compare a good Ness player to a good Lucas player, that misconception fades away fast. On the surface, you're right - Lucas has a lot of moves that are derivative of Ness's. However, their playstyles are so totally different that you have to put them in different categories. Their...

There aren't enough people defending Lucas here. Lucas plays entirely differently than Ness, being more effective in your face with throw combos while Ness tends to bait and punish. I don't know a single person who plays both characters - they cater to extremely different playstyles, and...

Not when he's spamming nair, as I've said... Nair beats fair in range and disjoint. Should I post a clip of my robo-thrusters being handed to me for analysis? There's a disconnect here that I'd really like to get to the bottom of so I don't keep getting stuffed by this MU.

I seem to be having the exact opposite experience as you in all respects (and with all due respect). Ike's nair combined with vastly superior landing lag on all his aerials means an Ike who's committed to jumping up and down a few feet above/in front of your face (that whole blindspot is...

Only if the opponent's shield is less than half strength, and Arm Rotor barely does any shield damage so don't count on it to shrink it. If you don't get the poke you'll get smash-punished, but if you do you might get a kill. High-risk, high-reward.

Some of the most common confirms are utilt > uair, various ledge traps with gyro, or simply sniping them with laser or gyro off-stage (I feel like R.O.B.'s launch angles have been altered to match better with laser. I've been having a really easy time landing lasers all the way out to the blast...

What's everyone's take on Ike? I'm personally having a lot of trouble with this one. In Sm4sh I felt this was even if not slightly in R.O.B.'s favor, but in Ultimate I'm consistently getting destroyed. The main problem I feel is Ike's ability to get in with reverse nair, bait an approach...

Any time you're uncertain whether you can catch an opponent coming out of bury (basically every time), use utilt first. You'll either: a) Miss at low percents because they popped out and air dodged/jumped away, but now they're airborne and you get to keep stage advantage (I've yet to be...

For me, K. Rool jumped straight into Klaptrap's maw before the word "GO!" was off the screen. And then there was Mega Man who just couldn't stop it with the UAirs... I almost needed a third try for him.

But Bamco already has most of the rights to Goku Nope. Nuh-uh, not gonna do it. Not gonna jump into the dumpster fire I lit.

Oh boy can't wait for Super Crush Bros. ...Right, I forgot I need to put up bright, flashing disclaimer tags when I'm being sarcastic XD I don't actually think he's likely, nor do I want him, but if there were a guy who was going to break the "no non-video game characters" rule, it would...

This reiterates the facts presented during the direct - that all DLC will be non-echo characters. (Everyone has to be new to the series, since this game has all past newcomers. Unless he meant 'in any form,' which rules out assist trophies and the like... so, no Rayman because he had that...

Sakurai makes a regular habit of going back on his word, especially when it comes to setting expectations for new characters. Truly, the biggest flaw anyone makes in leak arguments is fan rules. Sakurai sets trends almost explicitly so he can break them - it's how he keeps surprising us. In...
