I'm expecting a Trela-esque speech on the shotos any second now

For what ever it's worth, DDD is actually quite common online. He's one of those characters where you have to put some conscious effort into changing your play style, like Krool, peach, megaman or Olimar. The difference between him and Olimar is that people will only get better at blowing him...

I believe people consider Olimar anti hype because his moves generally look samey and dull. It's the same reason he's not a popular pick in general. Zoning is becoming the scapegoat of choice. Sonic was the same in smash 4. Only the scape goat back then was 'he's too campy'. Spin dash was lame...

On the first few pages of this thread, there were people singing praises for pit/dpit and the buffs he gained transitioning from s4 to Ult. It seems he's a character that's not popular and likely under developed, but has he made any splashes at all?

Honestly, you've got a great attitude towards learning and that will serve you well in... well, everything. The best thing about this thread is that it broadens your knowledge about the game As A Whole. Try your best to capitalise on this and you'll learn more about your own character and other...

Can marth combo or set up into guaranteed tippers at all in this game? Consistent tippers was the only reason he was better than Lucina and regaining access to them would immediately make her irrelevant again

Most people agree that wolf's damage output and ability to control the pace of the match, compensate for the lack of kill set ups. He has several quick kill moves once the opponent is at 120ish% and decent ledge trapping. That's wolf. Everybody knows it. Also I don't think this thread is the...

pk freeze was over hyped. I was on that train and hopped off very silently when I discovered that lucas' pk thunder is a faaaaaar better edge guarding tool

Maybe I missed a page of discussion but I'm having trouble understand the percieved power gap between lucina and Marth. Can I be enlightened? Are people having trouble spacing tippers in a faster paced meta? Is it some exclusive kill confirm?

I do seriously wonder about this. The more broken characters in smash history tended to bend/break rules that no other characters could. But at the same time, many characters have weird quirks that have been carefully balanced. Peach's float, Yoshi's jump, Shulk's long ass sword, shiek's...

If this video appears brawl like, i believe it's purely because of the character match up. Characters in this game maintain advantage through superior frame data or mobilty, large hit boxes that can juggle, or traps/high pressure disjoint (FE in particular). Greninja's combo and juggle tools...

20 min mark

Here's some higher level play of the Ice Climbers. I hadn't really investigated how the obligatory icies shenaneghans was coming along, but this video showcases some strengths as well as weaknesses. There's a tasty zero to death at the 20 minute mark. https://youtu.be/8hYANqSxa8U

You can do it centre stage on certain characters and still kill if you don't get the spike box.

This is interesting. Having and easier time getting abilities as well as losing them easily makes sense from a design point, especially considering how Kirby games play.
