Abadango has been so clean all day long. Punish game/combo game on point, jank mobility (He's air-dodging is on a whole different level... makes mewtwo seem unhittable) plus all those teleport cancel pivots/shadowballs.... it's just magnificent. I think he's very likely to beat Ally and has a...

Yeah that's not proof that Diddy beats M2. Abadango wasn't playing the match-up well, especially off stage. People in this thread have to stop assuming a character wins a matchup because a top player loses a game. Cloud doesn't beat Diddy because M2K beat zero once. Mewtwo doesn't lose to...

Mewtwo's difficult to use, but I think he's a pretty strong contender for a solo viable character. He really doesn't have any bad matchups and he has a strong matchup spread against the top tiers. He beats Sheik/Fox (and probably ZSS), is even with Mario/Cloud/Rosa, and possibly loses to Diddy...

Aba really just needs to work on the Diddy match-up. Specifically on edge-guarding, I feel like he almost never punishes monkey-flip or barrels and Mewtwo can wreck both really hard. Otherwise that was a pretty stellar performance. Aba's Mewtwo has gotten a lot scarier, he's definitely been...

People need to stop with this anti-ZeRo vomit. He's still the best player. His worst placing of all time is just short of top 8 at a super major. He just won a tourney last week, and before that he has been making it to grand finals at every event. If you think he's going to be regularly...

Diddy and Rosa are solo viable for sure (Metaknight isn't a good match-up but it's 6-4 at worst.) Cloud probably is, Sheik probably is, Fox probably is, Mario probably is. I think Mewtwo is, but everyone's gonna scream that he loses to diddy 7-3 or something, even though it's not true. Aba...

Zinoto is an absolute terror right now. Making Diddy look unbeatable. He's been so dominant the entire tournament in almost every match. As soon as Abadango had to play him in Losers I despaired -_-.

Losing to Cloud is pretty debateable, but you can definitely see where people are coming from. The main thing Mewtwo wants to do is control the terms of engagement with his oppressive high-reward spacing options, d-tilt, fair, and shadow ball. You can then condition the opponent to block and...

There are a few things contributing to the high results variance people observe: a) 2- stock format. No question this is a huge factor, It's less adaptation time make variance widening mechanics like rage, random gimps, nice set-ups that work only due to unfamiliarity more likely to result in...

You don't find Mewtwo's fair/d-tilt shadow ball wall, disable-usmash kill confirms at 60-80% on most of the cast, best kill-throw in the game, nearly impossible to edge-guard recovery, or 30% (as high as 50%) + conversions until kill percents noteworthy? There is absolutely no way that post...

Yeah, I'm not talking about Ganon -- who I do believe is pretty bad. I'm talking about a number of characters that are in the "lower half." Low tier can also mean bad, but it doesn't necessarily mean that. I think Link falls squarely into this category. He's not good, but he's not hilariously...

All of these arguments about low tiers every-time they get a decent result are IMHO, vestiges from this melee notion of tiers where not top/high tier = unplayable. This game is more like guilty gear. Sure, there are still gradations in character strength and they aren't negligible, but the...

These Japanese Duck Hunt players are fierce. I can't even figure out why it works so well from watching the videos, but it does.

Hahaha, very nice! I'm a pianist myself actually (Though I mostly play classical music and don't really improvise/arrange like this -- certainly not by ear in 10 seconds...), I wonder how many smash fans are into piano. Rich is pretty good =p.

Yep. I'm pretty sure that in his current state (not counting the infinite), Mewtwo is top tier. I think he'd still be high tier if he lost footstool/disable but kept his current Nair (which is so nasty for catching airdodge, shield poking, and comboing) Character's combo game is gross. People...
