That has happened to me before (getting disconnected after the opponent disconnects) but it is rare. Extremely rare. Like once in 200 games rare.

Magus, Ayla, or any other Chrono Trigger character that's not Crono (too many swordies already...). Terra from FF6. She has so many creative options, from her magic, magitek mech piloting and esper form.

Palutena's projectile reflecting game was heavily nerfed going into Ultimate. Before, characters like Villager were just plain easy for her. Lumping reflect into counter removed her all-powerful control over projectiles because it now shares all the weaknesses and clunkiness of counter, where...

I noticed this about Jr. in Ultimate... didn't kart always have tap jump on in Smash 4? I distinctively remember having tap jump disabled, but the Jr. kart was special in that if you tapped Up, it will jump you out of kart regardless if you had tap jump on or not. Honestly I prefer being able to...

I used to follow up f-smash with jabs but found that it often whiffed due to the short range of the initial jab, then I'd be stuck in the rapid jab animation and vulnerable. The tongue is extremely quick and safe.

How do people kart, Up B, hammer kill confirm? It is so difficult to react online. When you hit with the kart, you have only a few frames to react and Up B to hammer. To get everything to connect, you almost have to assume that the kart will hit and just follow through with Up B.

Thank you for this. F-smash to d-tilt seems to land every time. The f-smash bait is real.

She has no OoS options except n-air in some match ups, and retreat. I find n-air to be safe regardless if it lands. Because if the opponent doesn't get hit by the n-air, you can second jump anyways. After whiffing short hop n-air out of shield, second jump and falling n-air sometimes works and...

:ultpichu:Pichu is impossible online. :ultwiifittrainer: And surprisingly, Wii Fit Trainer is godlike online. The volleyball is heat-seeking seemingly, her hurtbox is deceptively small and difficult to land hits on. She has so much stage presence. Not many players use her, so lack of experience...

Adding a "jump has been used" tell.

This is so true. Low percents is such a struggle. I hate love how anyone can just slap Jr around after Jr lands an aerial when they're at 0%. It's almost as if the opponent is covered in a bubble of protection long after their invincibility wears off from spawn, and you have to break that bubble...

Smash stick on :ultpalutena:. Her tilts are strong but still too situational. You will almost never need to tilt out of dash on Palutena; she has much more effective options. Meanwhile, smash stick enables her to do dash-turn-around-forward smashes and easier up smashes out of dash.

Although very fun to play, I find that many other characters' moves out-prioritize Jr's. Instead of clashing, I often find other characters just outright overriding Jr's attacks. This often happens against sword users especially. So, objectively, Jr is inferior to many characters just from frame...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hPC9Qyqxcg Wow you're right, Wendy does sound so much better in other games. But does she even utter a single word in Smash? All I remember her saying is the "Woo woo!" when kart spinning, "REEE!" on Up smash, things like that.

It sucks that you cannot immediately kart after getting launched far off stage but it's an easy habit to break. Pausing to kart, though it makes Jr lose some vertical distance, still allows Jr to kart and Up B back on stage successfully most of the time. I don't think I have ever been actually...
