Oh god pocketing Failnaught 2 sounds horrifying IMO: Byleth just isn't good. He's just too damn slow to be any threat, and what few options he has are either mediocre or don't work well with the rest of his kit being frame 93. I don't really see him winning any matchups against faster...

If I can butt in for the Bayonetta thing, she really needs buffs and that is certain. But eh I'm used to it at this point and I won't cry, but if she appears on a patch in the future I will be popping off. Joker nerf is nothing, down gun was his most "Jesus Christ why is this character legal"...

^title Need for analysis

Shield, grab frequently. Outcamp her.

I don't think she is viable yet, but she isn't in the worst position either really. She's a hard character to succeed with and Zack is starting to achieve some awesome feats with her, but the cracks are showing. He's carrying the character. With that said, I feel we are close to winning some...

Lylat has somewhat close blastzones iirc, the angle make BC good from basically anywhere on the stage, Bayonetta's recovery is least affected by the ledge angle compared to most characters, and some more. Worst stage is probably Kalos League lol. The platforms do not help and the blastzones are...

True combo, before DI and SDI of course.

Want to set the record straight: the Bayonetta buffs don't do much to fix Bayonetta. They we're insanely minor, to the point where her Utilt still isn't perfect and still messes up (albeit much much less). Her landing lag buff gave her 2-4 frames less landing lag on some combinations...

Honestly Joker seems like a somewhat impossible character to balance. Base Joker is honestly somewhat mediocre and, in some cases, could use some better hitboxes, but mostly something in the frames department (Why Fair doesn't autocancel is a mystery). He plays good but he just feels lacking...

The Regen factor works like this: After using Witch Time, you lose some activation time (WT frames) and it slowly regenerates back over time. The previous factor, 0.03, means that in 100 frames, or 1.666 seconds, 3 frames of Witch Time are regenerated. Now, 4 frames of Witch Time regenerates in...

She still has massive massive massive flaws, but at very least she won't be immediately punished for winning the neutral. It feels like a really amazing QoL improvement to the character rather than a straight buff: she still has the same massive issues, but these issues are slightly less absurd...

Here is the specific landing lag details by myself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10XNTMy5xAPS2MvYeNGtD--Uq7SRyaqZVu5-uK8l53AM/edit?usp=sharing Also, from the hasty labbing I did, it would appear the regen factor is now 0.04 instead of 0.03

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10XNTMy5xAPS2MvYeNGtD--Uq7SRyaqZVu5-uK8l53AM/edit?usp=sharing Here you go lads, this is how Bayonetta's recovery landing lag frames got changed. Nothing too major, 2, 3, or 4 frames taken off of specific moves or combos. Most combos (excluding some DABK...

Honestly, I approve almost all the nerfs they shoved down our throats this patch, I want to see more careful small nerfs to tend the meta. Sometimes you have to nerf really janky stuff to preserve the fragile meta that is this game. The meta is most likely going to be more diverse than before...

Congrats Emblem Lord, I'm happy you aren't invalidated by SDI now. Bayonetta looks super close to viable now. Here is Geist with what appears to be a super hot kill confirm: Feels good man. Also I'm digging the entitlement from Olimar mains. Dabuz is threatening to drop the character after...
