I don't have a visualization but I can at least describe it. The meteor hitbox is active right below Greninja for a short time after starting the Dair. If you fall a bit lower with the Dair, you will launch the opponent diagonally upwards instead of getting the meteor. So if you want to spike...

Most people don't know that MKLeo had a Greninja from early on in Smash Ultimate. He just didn't use him in tournament, so people didn't get to see him. He probably still needed practice since Greninja has a very different playstyle from the traditional swordsmen that MKLeo likes to use. But it...

Wow, Stroder just beat Tweek at Ultimate Nimbus! His Greninja improved so much since the last time I've seen him play. The Greninja mains have been really upping their game lately. I still think Lea is overall the best Greninja main, but it would be really interesting to have a Greninja saga...

Yes, especially considering how Lea seemed very dominant throughout most of the set vs Cosmos. I do not think their next encounter will end in a loss for Lea and even in the set they played, it seemed like Lea choking away an almost guaranteed win. And vs MVD that seemed mostly like matchup...

Yes, of course. The moment you input the side B, your shield disappears. Side B just doesn't have the fastest start up, so it's not a fast OoS option to use for regular punishes. But I like to use it vs projectile spammers to slowly approach with shield and once I'm close, I can shield a...

Set the L button to jump. That allows you to run, turn around and immediately press L and C stick forward to do the RAR Bair.

Hold both shield buttons to disable rolls. Now just press side B and you have SS OoS.

It seems Plup has picked up Greninja! He has a very unique playstyle with a very high use of Nair and Ftilt. This is probably what it looks like when you have top player movement and neutral but you're still new to the character. If he decides to main Greninja and polishes up his follow ups and...

I'm not sure there is an optimal control setting but I can share mine. Tilt stick vs Smash stick is up to preference. Lea uses tilt stick, but I prefer smash stick since I find running Dtilt easier to perform manually than running smashes. Both work well though so you can't really go wrong...

Exactly, whenever I try to play a different character, even a top tier, I always end up missing either the speed or the disjointed reach or the kill power and kill confirms, or often several of those at once. Greninja might be difficult to learn but once you do, it's really hard to go back to...

It's the other way around actually. In doubles you do the same damage as in past games (and same knockback as in singles), but in singles your damage is increased. The gimps were likely just due to edgeguarding being better in this game, not because of lower damage output.

There is a trick to get the Dash Attack -> Bair combos down very consistently. After a dash attack if you just hold back, you will have 9 frames of turning around during any of which if you input jump + C stick forward, you will perform an advancing Bair that true comboes out of DA. This means...

I agree, those are definitely the most reliable combos that are the most difficult for opponents to escape with DI. I would also add: Dtilt -> Fair at high percents for the kill. It is very reliable, you just need to be able to full hop Fair fast since you cannot buffer it. Dash Attack -> turn...

Yes, that's the benefit of dragdown Uair combos vs footstool combos that even if the opponent manages to tech the Uair dragdown, you still have enough time after your Jab to follow any way they tech and cover them with Dash Attack which then leads to more combos. Even another Uair dragdown to...

They have Lea there, the best Greninja in the world who has been winning quite a few tournaments with him. He even 3-0ed Shuton, the winner of the first Japanese major. This just goes to show you how influential results are on people's tier list perceptions. I do think they are overrating...
