I've never understood the converse, frankly. Part of the reason I play fighting games is because not everyone is the same. There's a sense of personality in the character you pick. When people just jump on the wagon towards the latest success, that trivializes that concept. I'll admit that...

Stay salty.

CPUs are fine, as long as you know their limitations. They're very good at helping you in the areas WiFi is terrible at, namely improving spacing and safety.

It's cool that this project is finally happening! For Mewtwos, I would nominate Mew^2 (At #1), Sparky, and LoF Blue.

The thing is, the knee sweetspot is not at the tip of the knee; it's closer to Falcon's body. The fact that he connected with the knee sweetspot means that not only does the hurtbox cover a greater area of the tail, but it even goes past the tail, as he's sweetspotting thin air. From experience...

Not this again.

Don't want to derail too much, but basically imagine if ZSS had more weight, longer range, and a better grab. Both have the ability to kill us at an extremely early %, but we're more prepared to deal with ZSS' advantages than we are DK's. Her frame data is only really good on the moves we...

So I'm a little late, but I wanted to get some experience in the MU. I thought with his new Bow Wow kill confirm that Bowser might be harder in theory than DK (our worst MU, and among the worst in the game), but I was overrating the kill %s and the % window of Bow Wow a bit. Really the MU is...

I know I seem negative a lot, but hear me out. "Viability" is kind of a crappy term because it evokes a lot of different things to different people. And to a lot of people, being "non-viable" is essentially a death sentence, and no one wants to believe their character has no chance at all. I...

This is true for every single character in the game. A Zelda just won a tournament in WI that was actually fairly stacked (about half our PR was there). But very few people would say Sm4sh is balanced enough. The local level is, and has always been, largely irrelevant to viability.

I actually don't want Dthrow to change. It's his second most useful throw, setting up for platform Usmashes and generally good positioning, and making it a combo throw would just homogenize him. But if we're staying 2nd lightest and top 3 largest, then we shouldn't have anything else holding us...

Mewtwo doesn't have to adapt too much to Luma since a lot of his tools in neutral put him in tumble (Dtilt, Fair, DA, etc.) Rosalina is also fairly easy to catch with Usmash on landing and other situations, which kills her very early. The flipside is the whole "dying at ungodly % to Uair and...

Yeah. Marcina's SH DB1 kill confirm is just brutal, and they're annoyingly good at hitting us out of strings or Confusion with Fair or Nair. They're also really hard to gimp. Ike is vulnerable to getting Fair chained offstage, and if he's forced to Aether he's probably dead. Ike could be even...

I withhold as much information as I can. One of the few advantages of playing a low-tier character is scarcity of information. I would be putting myself at a bigger disadvantage by sharing what I know than, for example, a Mario player would--not only because I have more exclusive knowledge due...

Bowser's combo is the Bow-Wow and I will not hear otherwise. I get annoyed by the term jab lock when I play Luigi. I always think his jab jab locks, but it doesn't even though there's no reason for it not to. Regardless, if we rename something it should be the setup. "Nair platform tumble to...
