I'm sure this patch will address Sora's counter freezing the AI Ice Climber. I don't think there are any other glaring bugs at the moment.

You can fastfall Sora's fair 1 and nair 1 to avoid the "hop" on hit. If the combo counter is to be believed, this allows for some nice air-to-ground combos.

I was also thinking that copyright might be an issue. It should be noted that NC is currently on stream for GIMR's Sephiroth Invitational, music and all. I think this will be a good litmus test for DMCA-related issues.

If I'm understanding Hero correctly, his bounce spell is going to give zoners a lot of trouble. Olimar and Megaman in particular are gonna lose a ton of options while it's active. Depending on how/if Hero restores MP, he could be one of the best zone breakers in the game.

Feel free to disagree, but I'm glad the balance patches haven't made drastic changes. Back in the days of Smash 4, I eagerly welcomed every patch because that game's balance legitimately sucked, to be frank. But now I feel a sense of apprehension when an Ultimate patch rolls around because its...

Thanks for all this. I look forward to Inkling, Lucas, and Puff's landing lag data. I'm sure this is tedious work, so no rush.

I remember watching a video essay (that "Kong Documentary" I think) that suggests Yoshi's Island DS could be canon if you accept that baby DK is actually baby Cranky Kong and that Kongs age faster than humans, so the timeline stays consistent.

Try to consider the situation from the finalists' perspectives. Up until grand finals, they were playing to win. That means picking a top tier like Bayonetta. Throughout the event, they were on the receiving end of constant harassment and jeering from the crowd. That kind of **** can get to you...

I hope Chrom's sword does balanced damage like Lucina's. It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Mother 3 takes place in the distant future so naturally no one from Ness's era would be around by then, except for Porky. You could make similar claims about the Fire Emblem and Zelda characters since their timelines span thousands of years.

I didn't see the grand finals first-hand, but everything I heard of it sounds disappointing. Smash 4 gave me countless hours of enjoyment and it's sad to see that its swan song went so far off-key with poor sportsmanship from the audience. This community has a lot of maturing to do.

I'm a little late to the Ashley discussion, but I think the skull-flash in that cutscene was supposed to illustrate a certain "intensity" in her personality that you wouldn't otherwise notice, since her outward appearance is always so reserved.

Going through the footage from that tournament, I just found out Inkling can crawl. For some....reason...

Yeah, except the hitbox was arbitrarily small. Whereas Ness's up air hits in a broad arc, Lucas's only hits at one specific point. That's why I'd like to see Lucas get Ness's old up air, since he's not using it anymore.

I have a completely unfounded hunch that Lucas will inherit Ness's old up air, complete with its gigantic hitbox and great KO power.
