    Official v8.0.0 Patch Discussion Thread

    Damage is used as part of the knockback growth formula, so to clarify what's going on here: - bAir is getting ~10% more knockback growth from the damage increase - uAir is getting ~10% more knockback growth as well, which is then scaled back by ~2% by the direct knockback growth reduction

    The blanket rule I want for Miis is that you can use anything as long as you don't have to exit the game (Home -> Close Software) to do so, which means that sizes are allowed if you have a personal Mii on your 3DS to upload.

    Lucas was the "toss-up" but I just don't think there are enough Lucas players/popularity out there compared to Mewtwo, who is already doing things. For Bottom, my other two were Mii Gunner (already has a rep, but might not get enough other reps) and Samus (off-chance that now that patches are...

    Low: It's a toss-up but I'll go for Mewtwo. Both representation and results are coming his way. People are starting to respect his frame data, range, and confirms. Bottom: Extremely hard to say. Eyeing three characters but I'm ultimately going to say Mii Brawler, thanks to how attractive...

    Going to have to entirely disagree. Relativity has little to no weight in Smash Bros. Cloud's recovery is bad because it does not auto-snap the ledge (which means he loses to a hitbox sticking out) and it doesn't carry him high enough to survive if he gets hit below a 30-degree angle...not...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    I don't recall having to face a Mewtwo yet but, as a Palu, I can see being afraid. Mewtwo's Jab probably beats my everything in CQC and links into a kill. I probably don't have an answer to spaced dTilt on shield. When trying to land, I either eat uSmash for not warping (or counter the multihit...

    I will agree with mid-tier being a crapshoot. It has always felt like a crapshoot to me. Isolated, these are some of the most balanced characters in the cast. Out of all of them, I'd say ROB is the most polar, having Diddy-like kill setups (ledge traps, dThrow 50/50, kill throw), but also having...

    I still haven't been able to escape Duck Hunt's rapid jab, for what it's worth

    Defensive Hitbox might mean they straight up block incoming attacks now (like Palu's Aegis Shield, or G&W's Diver Helmet). Functionally, this means if an attack were big enough to go through the wings and hit Zard's body, the wings will now instead take the hitbox and protect Zard.

    Doubles players But really I feel like Sakurai wants different characters to excel at different modes instead of focusing on viability in 1v1 No Items setting. Besides, Zelda and Jiggs are so rare that anybody that plays them online usually excels at them and skews the records, especially so...

    I'm a big user of Palutena's PP Jab to retreat and just put a hitbox out to stuff any reflexive chasing. I've been practicing PP Shield in order to circumvent having to wait for Run or use a slow Walking speed, and trying to find the stick angle for PP uTilt since that would catch more punishes...

    I'm guessing the function of this unk multihit thing would be to put opponent's in a flinching state instead of a proper knockback, so they can't act instantly like when a Falco laser hits them.

    I don't think something has to be blockable with Reflector to be eligible for Pocket. Mr. Saturn isn't Reflectable but can still get tugged by Gravity Pull, right?

    That one would be my fault, then. I was referencing Kurogane and it said Eruption was Base 9.

    checking Marth in training mode. fAir tipper is less than 12% but at least 11.5%. uAir does indeed deal straight 13%. Lucina fAir is 10.5% and uAir is 11.4%
