the marth thread is used to discuss both characters since most of the discussion here is comparing the two characters also this thread has the lowest priority of the stickies, so it has lower visibility than the marth thread

a lack of consistent kill confirms off low-risk options is only theoretically negligible, at an applicable level it means you have to play more neutral, which means more room for error, and your opponent getting max rage more often, which means more volatility it's a very real factor in a...

too inconsistent to be top tier, too oppressive to be mid tier high tier sounds fine

doesn't big d play icies now

i kinda hate this idea that you're not allowed to enjoy older smash games, even though all of them play completely different from each other, and it's entirely reasonable to enjoy one more than the others. saying you enjoy brawl or smash 4 is some sort of thought crime, and melee players are...

are there any spreadsheets or other resources for up throw -> up air percents?

don't use quickplay as a measure for your skill level, it absolutely isn't skill-based

after playing against my friend's joker for about an hour and a half, i have the following to offer: -joker wants to jump. his grounded options in general are pretty weak and unsafe, and his landing aerials are his best spacing tools on top of having good, consistent setups into grab. anti-air...

according to smashwiki: haven't had the opportunity to test for myself (never mind that i'd have no idea how to start lol) but this does sound plausible

the copy ability shouldn’t be knocked out of him, period. it’s a pointless mechanic that lowers the reward of something that’s already high-risk low-reward. also what’s the 20% bonus i’ve seen mentioned in passing a few times?

this early in the meta it's kinda pointless to debate about icies' tier placement. they've always been a character that takes a few years to do anything.

the buffs i listed earlier

yeah i didn't really think very hard about how much those buffs would really do lol. definitely wouldn't say they'd make him high tier though, dead center of mid at best imo

reimagining pichu as the glassiest cannon in the game was something anyone could come up with, it's the easiest idea to come up with to make him not a joke. kirby needs the same sort of reimagining of his archetype imo. even if you gave kirby tons of buffs - better up tilt, better f-throw...
