    Shield will always be that thing that is too strong in Smash. This game has a built in option against it which is the 6f of input lag (akin to the 8f of input lag in SF5) that make the f1 properties of shield a lot less ridiculous.

    Also very few are willing to lame it out with shield. If a Smash game gives you the tools to do otherwise the playerbase generally does otherwise.

    Also your talk about Sonic, yea Side-B > Shield is dumb but that's the nature of a move that projects an instant hitbox and can be shield-cancelled. Wrath's gameplan was however broken by Nairo because IIRC Nairo ran by him a lot either holding shield or just being not scared. He didn't really try and press buttons, he just waited for Wrath to think he would.

    The dynamics of this game IMO prevent shield from being OP as is, IMO. It's most akin to blocking in traditional fighters here now, where it's arguably one of the most important traits. I think throws in this game feel jussttt right because most chars who lack combo throws have strong dmg racking throws or have a kit like Marth with good position building throws alongside solid disjoint.

    While shields are OP, it's pretty obvious that they're not unbeatable. They're just so strong that whoever gets the most out of them are those we tend to "hate" on. The game works out fine, and shield is universally available.

    Your understanding of Cloud is solid but you're missing a few underrated key KO moves: Usmash and Dsmash. The latter is nerfed though still good and USmash is an incredibly strong anti-air/platform covering kill option. CCI and Cloud are impossible to discuss tho everyone just says nerf when they have an incredibly LIMITED UNDERSTANDING of the character and it bothers me.

    Blahblahblah.

    To me those two moves are strictly punishments/trapping responses and they're quite solid. You aren't really comboing into them though.
    I'm so used to seeing wifi clouds spot dodge down smash, and up smash is fantastic as an anti-air but I expect people scared of dying to almost never jump against Cloud.
    Shaya
    Shaya
    I guess I should relate that I'm mostly feeling the dynamic KO options vs the read KO options. Neither of those two moves can be really safe to use in a tight situation, while bair/dair/LCS and reactive dash attacks are.

    I understand what you're saying, esp. about the community. It's a mess. Nerf this, nerf that, they should change this, that, etc.

    A bunch of anecdotal nonsense, kinda glad the guys behind the patching seem to follow the Japanese meta more than....this.

    Good work on the Bayo discussion, the news I find very important to note and while i would rather not have a git gud argument to get out, I hope the news thread will be made anyway no matter how unavoidable arguments will be.

    Can you possibly add the {Meta} emblem next to the Bayo thread to make it seem like "official discussion"?

    Finally got around to following~. Feel like it's warranted, we've had good discussions and you and I both seem to contribute quality content (at least, I do when I try). In spite of my CCI self-hiatus atm I'm still interested in your posts =3.
    Molk
    Hey dude, for clarification on the training mode thing, if something registers on the combo counter and a computer set to the maximum level, set to either run or attack is incapable of airdodging it (since as far as i know they have close to perfect reaction time when it comes to that), does that mean that it's reliable assuming no DI? Or am i missing something here?

    alright, Nair has 21 frames of endlag, and comes out on frame 7, so assuming i have 40 frames of hitstun to work with, as long as G&W could double jump and land the second nair within ~12 frames, it should be real?
    Shaya
    Shaya
    it can be.

    If you want a visual reference for how much knockback is the starting window for being able to airdodge early, check out lucas up throw on megaman at around 15%

    You been warning people for post they'd usually get away with. Is there a change of heart? Are you following the rules more strictly?

    Gotta enforce standards.
    I had the 3 point rule brought in for a reason, and it not being applied enough while post quality often is terrible requires a pick up. It's also to help the rest of the people in the thread understand what's good/bad.
    TTTTTsd
    Since I'm not posting in CCI I'll just drop it here: The Top 5 all beat each other and are generally way less oppressive towards the rest of the cast than most people think although they are still top tiers.

    You seem to be stating it too, this patch is wonderfully meta right now. No matter who's #1 they lose to someone (albeit not super hard, Cloud vs. Sheik is by no means unwinnable for Cloud)
    TTTTTsd
    Can you believe they nerfed my worst matchup as a Cloud player harder than they nerfed my character? All they had to do was give Limit side-B a bit more endlag and he would've been viable but balanced.

    Oh well, guess we take those. We have a borked swordsman now so let's work on him together~. Do update me if you find anything magical or new.
    Shaya
    Shaya
    I seem to have this masochistic tendency for enjoying characters more when they get nerfed.
    Who knows, Cloud may be the best and brightest choice by far and there may not be too many regrets. We'll see... I like the shake up.
    TTTTTsd
    TTTTTsd
    Honestly I'm glad they nerfed FT because it was really dumb in Dubz haha. I just feel like all he needs is an endlag increase on Limit Side-B by a lil and he'd be fine. They seem to want to preserve his status as fast and strong and I'm glad they didn't gut him.

    Sheik on the other hand....
    TTTTTsd
    TTTTTsd
    Also Cloud's sour Uair is a little bit better for followups than before, only by a little. Negligible but fun. I wish they adjusted the hitlag on Sweetspot Uair though, it had more freeze and impact when it did 13% and I liked how crunchy it felt. 12% still feels SIMILAR but a bit weaker, like Falcon Uair when they nerfed it.

    Do you know why Nairo chose up throw at 5:45 here? http://youtu.be/g0yj7dwvDek Misinput or bait?

    Asking because you're on that ZSS thang
    Shaya
    Shaya
    ZSS doesn't have a good follow up from a grab at 0%. Up air isn't safe on hit or at the least cannot be combo'd out of.
    Maybe was purposeful for that reason. Otherwise who knows.

    I SEE! I'm glad you've warmed to him. I think M2K has taught me how Limit at low % is also a viable tactic (the damage building and setup) and Tweek has taught me how to be an asshole (that taunt was gross)
    Shaya

    Cloud's movement and maximising efficiency is fun and dynamic.

    Most swordies don't have that unfortunately. So Cloud's the best swordie for movement to practice.

    I'm trying to help my friend get into/get better at Smash 4 and he said that he likes how Roy feels but I'm not totally sure what tips to give him on the character. Do you know of any high-level Rot videos I could show him?
    Shaya
    Shaya
    Not particularly... no...

    There is a European Roy or two that the names of which slip my mind that from what I gather do well over there. Could probably find them through further research.
    One played and beat one of the best german foxes IIRC.
    Kofu
    Kofu
    That's a bummer but it's not entirely unexpected. A quick search brought up Sethlon, and while he isn't a top player, he's definitely better than average. If you think there's a European player then I may ask Gheb since he seems to be the best source for European results.

    *pops out of cardboard box* Neath? He's a French player from what I remember. Also, for other players, Neo and er... Sethlon... Neo for tech skill play and Sethlon for his match analyses.

    Shaya, Marth god, I want to ask you a Marth-related question. Since Marth's Dancing Blade has different animations for certain swing when used in midair (most notably Up 3), is there a way you could see if the hitboxes match wit h the sword? I currently don't have Smash 4 with me, so I can't test. Also, please check if this happens with Lucina and Roy.
    Shaya
    Shaya
    hmm, I was not too aware of the animations being that different, it could just be the way the sword trails travel and remain due to falling or rising in the air. Either way the hitboxes should still be attached to his sword like in all of his moves (just likely not at the start of the swing).
    GunBlaze
    GunBlaze
    Yeah, I mean, Aerial Down 3 is pretty much Melee's, while Aerial Up 3 is Brawl's. And sometimes I just flat-out miss even when in contact.

    You're probably the last person I'm gonna ask this question because, aside from Thinkaman, you're the only other person that says smart stuff.

    2 would be hard to truly imagine and would speed up the game, but feasibly make some high speed multi hitters infuriating to deal with at mid/low level (wifi and whatever), but I don't care about them. Chars like Rosa would become a bit more bogus, but it also would increase the emphasis of angling one's shield during attacks.
    Shaya
    Shaya
    Jiggs, Marth and other shield breakers would become a lot more scarier in pressure situations; a few hits on shield over the course of a second or two and you're now unable to shield with impunity.
    I think it would be crazy/hype, but maybe actually bad still.
    Shaya
    Shaya
    Oh, but if 1 included ledge options, maybe I'd be down :p
    KenMeister
    Hey Shaya, I was reading one of your posts on Marth's future and lack of potential, and saw you bring up Roy. Do you feel Roy still has potential, and is perhaps still underrated in contrast to where he's placed in the tier list? If so, what kind of untapped potential do you feel he has?

    He's probably in a fair spot overall (some think he should be lower due to the perceived results). The aerial landing buffs is significant to him due to how fast his jumps are more so than most characters who get them.
    Shaya
    Shaya
    Difficult match ups may still be difficult and that does hamper my ability to tout significantly more strength than where he roughly fits.

    But there's a lot of areas of Roy not focused on that existed for Marth in prior games (and this one) and optimal implementations of game play are no where near what they could be.
