I can't help but wonder how powerful Kamikaze is going to be, because forfeiting a stock isn't necessarily that detrimental if you can use it to secure low percent KOs when you're already at death percent especially if you have a stock lead. I'm also half-hoping Zoom just straight-up puts you...

Bite couldn't reliably eat large projectiles like Samus' fully charged neutral B before and also lacked vertical reach as the hitbox was only about as tall as his mouth, meaning he could get hit in the nose by high arcs from things like Doc's pills or Dedede's Gordos, but now the projectile...

I just want G&W's fair bombs to behave like typical projectiles and explode on contact with opponents instead of on a timer or when hitting the floor.

The generous i-frames on his smash 4 up smash really forced people to respect the space above him, since now the only reliable options he has for that are up B and uair, neither of which are going to ever be fatal. The i-frames are so brief now that when they actually work it tends to just feel...

His neutral game seems pretty terrible because of the end lag on his aerials meaning you can only auto-cancel on full hop, but once he does actually get into an advantageous state, he has a ton of tools to keep opponents under pressure.

His aerials seem to have pretty bad endlag (So much that you can't auto-cancel any of them out of shorthop) which is the only thing that concerns me.

Piranha Plant honestly just doesn't seem that great overall currently. The fact that it can't short hop auto-cancel any of its aerials (Except for uair which has deceptively bad range) really limits its options in neutral.

Welp, fair is a bit better now thanks to the patch. The explosion radius is noticeably larger now, maybe about twice the width of the bomb instead of practically just the size of the bomb itself. It's still not that great but the bigger blast radius means people need to respect it a bit more.

The thing about Ultimate's balance right now is that while it seems everyone is at least good, some characters are better. It is possible G&W is being sold short due to how little representation he gets currently, but he doesn't seem to doing all that hot competitively even in the hands of his...

When I think "S+ tier" I think "move so good you should be using it almost constantly", but fair doesn't strike me as something like that. If anything, the chomp should be S+ tier because people tend to get really shield happy because of nair, which lets you get away with it really often. The...

The game specifically states that eating bike parts charges the waft, as they're classified as items. It's projectiles that don't do anything.

I feel like Wario's only genuinely terrible moves are bthrow, down smash, and jab. Bthrow is his weakest throw damage wise and unimpressive knockback wise, to the point where you're usually better off just down throwing instead because it launches in the same direction and deals more damage...

Oddly, the bite is actually able to throw tech on its earliest active frames (I saw it happen in one of Gluttony's matches). As far as its frame data goes, it actually comes out just as fast as normal grab and faster then dash grab. You just bite it. If time permits, it's more productive to...

His kill power honestly hasn't changed much from Smash 4, but his kill options/setups are easier to connect with thanks to his overall better frame data. Down tilt into dash attack also gives him a new way of scoring kills that can be fished for rather safely due to the former being safe on shield.

Wario's uair is easily one of the best, It does above average damage, combos into itself and other moves, has respectable kill power, has almost no landing lag and has a fair bit of disjoint to boot. I wouldn't say any of those uairs are necessarily better overall, just better in certain...
