First, Charizard is not the worst character in the game at all. I've been playing him more and he can be pretty clutch! Charizard doesn't have a very good neutral game and defensive play is gonna be your best bet. In terms of the trio, I like to use him the most at the ledge/ in advantage. He...

On custom stages: I don't think they will be legal because there are some mechanics differences. For example, Pokemon Trainer cannot fast-switch due to lack of the Trainer... Obviously as my main, that's a huge blow. At the moment I'm not sure how I feel about Mementos. I like the slopes and...

Excellent set of my favorite Ultimate player Zackray. I love seeing him pick up new characters and dominating the local scene in Japan. It's kinda crazy how good he is... Anyways, you highlighted a lot of the good stuff about Joker here. He definitely has a good kit for edgeguarding, because...

This is a good Grand Finals between two solid players (Wadi and Elegant) using some less popular characters. It's a good display of what Wii Fit Trainer can do and how absurd Luigi's 0-to-death combos can be. What do you all think of these characters?

It is way too early to see how these changes will affect the meta, because we don’t even understand exactly what these changes mean! In addition, I’m sure most of us aren’t even able to download 3.0.0 at this moment. On character nerfs/buffs: this was definitely NOT a major one and it seems...

Town and City is not our worst stage but I think other characters can take advantage of the larger layout than Pokemon Trainer can. The platforms can certainly help extend combos and some of the higher platforms make opponents easier targets for aerials. Personally, I never choose this stage...

Ivysaur may deserve a nerf but please BUFF CHARIZARD if they do. Honestly, Pikachu, Pichu, and Wolf each have their weaknesses although I do agree that they are very good characters compared to the rest of the cast. I for one hope Nintendo continues with more buffs to low characters rather...

This has got to be the most stacked local tournament for Ultimate. Yikes!

I can speak for the Ivysaur :ultivysaur: match-up against Snake. Razor Leaf is equally if not more spammable than Snake's projectiles and the main three things that Snakes fear are Uair, Dair, and Vine Whip. Uair leads to more Uair combos, has a huge hitbox that can catch Snake trying to drop...

Nicko consistently does well at large local tournaments in SoCal but it seems that outside of him, not many players are picking up this character and/or doing well with him. I think it's a shame because the character has some solid tools (Monado switching during hitstun is kinda stupid) and...

I think Charizard's neutral is bad for a few reasons. He doesn't have good options for approaching. His neutral game is very heavy on baiting and punishing or basically reacting (OOS options are top tier though). Most of his moves aren't really "safe" either and require tons of commitment, at...

I just watched the set and I agree with you about Charizard. The commentators mention it later on when Wishes is playing against Nairo but the utility of Charizard is vastly underrated. Sealing stocks may be his job but he does it well. And not to mention the recovery mix-ups that greatly help...

I don't see how Pokemon Trainer will go down. It seems almost every week, players are finding new combos/tech about the character and because you're using 3 unique characters, it will take time to optimize match-ups. I don't believe many are giving up on the character and most agree that there's...

MTL Spanky used Pokemon Trainer (not sure Male or Female)

Despite being able to do ladder combos, I think each Pokemon can struggle to land in advantageous positions on this stage. I would only pick this stage if the opponent banned it for or has disadvantages on it (can't think of any characters at the moment).
