    Captain Falcon's Archetype?

    Bait and Punish, emphasis on the punishes, and because he has the worst dash dance in the game, not as much on the bait. Which forces him to play like a rushdown character most of the time.

    Why do so many top players think Brawler is bottom tier?

    Agree with the above post, but I should add that not having (m)any kill confirms wouldn't be so bad if Mii Brawler had a combo game that got people to kill % faster. That way fishing for raw kill moves like Bair wouldn't be as bad (Bair is the fastest of the "backwards kick" Bairs so I'd say...

    I give up, What to do with C falcon?

    I'd argue that buffing his grab wouldn't be the best way to make him better. You yourself just said it's your most consistent option, and buffing the range would basically give him the issue he had in Smash 4, where it was easily your best option and there wasn't much reason to go for anything...

    Why Ken need a buff

    That's the thing, the characters can be consistent, but getting them to that level is difficult. Hell, Nairo was the only top player who tried Ken and he didn't play him for long enough to know what Medium Shoryuken did, so I wouldn't consider him to have really labbed him out that much. Right...

    Why Ken need a buff

    Thing is, he does have consistent kill confirms, some disjoints, decent range on a lot of things, some amazing anti airs, varied movement if you mix in wavebounce Focus and stuff like that, and a couple other things, like having a bunch of antiairs, a bunch of combo extenders that also...

    Why Ken need a buff

    It's not that Ken is bad so much as his punish game is extremely complicated and we're still learning it, and the fact that his neutral is really easy to mess up. He's not bad, we're just bad. Reason everyone says Ken is better than Ryu is because Ken will have much better combos once we...

    Meta SSBU Stagelist Discussion

    (I was making a joke about how Nintendo doesn't like people talking about PM, which had 21 legal stages and 3 bans) Remind me to actually make a ruleset with the 42 stagelist later.

    Meta SSBU Stagelist Discussion

    Hot take: Legalize every single contentious stage for a massive stagelist with 3 bans. It worked for... THAT game (I’m not too involved with its community, idk how much caution to use when mentioning it), so why not for Ultimate (This post is mostly ****posting but I wouldn’t exactly mind it...

    Mii Brawler Competitive Discussion Thread

    I went to a local once and one of the best Cloud players (and players in general) in my region let me name my Mii "Epic Gamer" mid set.

    Mii Brawler Competitive Discussion Thread

    In general I try to fish for nairs and DTilts, poke with Bair and FTilt, and try to get in Shot Puts when it's safe. Falling Up Air's work but they're generally not super safe, and they're best used to whiff punish.

    How would you buff Ryu? (Includes minor buffs to Ken as well)

    Alright, so before I reply there’s one thing I think is worth clarifying, being that Ken and Ryu actually have the same Air Speed. It’s only their ground speed that’s actually different. I bring this up because about what you’re saying with DTilt, pretty much anything Ken got from it, Ryu would...

    I give up, What to do with C falcon?

    Imagine using smash attacks in neutral. Falcon Kick and Raptor Boost come out slow if you're using them at point blank, but they're also not designed to be used in that way in the first place. They're designed to be used at midrange where you start out too far away from the opponent for them to...

    Why do so many top players think Brawler is bottom tier?

    Funny that you mention Falcon, since I main Falcon and secondary Mii Brawler (among others). I've always seen Mii Brawler as similar to Falcon, but with a much more defensive playstyle. Since your combo game isn't as good and your disadvantage is far worse outside of recovery, you need to poke a...

    How would you buff Ryu? (Includes minor buffs to Ken as well)

    I like a lot of these changes, but I feel like the Jab change might be a bit broken. Allowing you to cancel Jabs into your Tilts wouldn’t work because said tilts can also combo back into Jab. I think the point of Prox FTilt is to make a slightly more difficult but also slightly better version of...
