Some absolutely bananas counterpicks coming out here. Ken going Richter against Harasen, which actually looked like a very strong pick, and Shuton just getting absolutely bodied by Minmins. It really goes to show that even among strong characters there's some pretty crazy matchup dynamics. I...

Just my two cents real quick since I haven't had time to test out the patch yet, but I feel like having very simplistic combos into Waft isn't healthy for the design of Wario as a character. When you can easily combo into a move like Waft, it makes the decision of how to use that tool very...

The problem with FFA is that teaming up with another player is far too strong, you can see this even when playing casually, inevitably two people decide to work together and it ruins the experience for everyone. As such, pretty much everything FFA does well team battles simply do better. Even...

Thinkaman already gave a very long response to this but I wanted to add in my thoughts because I was also on the "Lucario is at least bottom 3" train pre-patch. Anyway, the point I wanted to make is that there's a pretty big difference between characters like Ganondorf and Little Mac and...

Played a ton of matches tonight, here are my thoughts on some aspects of the patch. Obviously, most of my time was spent on Steve. I actually played him in almost every game tonight, and actually, he's very fun. Tons of stuff about him has already been said so I'll try to stick to stuff that...

My first post in forever, here's a few hot takes on recent points of discussion: I really like what they've done with Steve, though he wasn't a character I was ever excited for, his implementation is very cool. That being said, my gut feeling is that he isn't going to be very good. I think...

I'm liking the looks of this patch, it seems like the relatively long length of time from the last patch gave them plenty of time to figure out who's good and who's not. I don't see anything on the list of changes that I really disagree with, and finally a lot of the people who need help like...

When I use the term honest, I generally mean that they have to get kills using fundamentals rather than some sort of gimmick. For example, if you have to get most of your kills from just sneaking in a smash attack or back air (rather than using a very reliable setup into a kill move), you're...

To be completely honest, ever since the first time I played Banjo, I've always had the impression that the character is bad. I never posted about it because I agree that the character seems good on paper so I was like "well it's probably just me not understanding the character enough", but...

My hot take on Greninja. Greninja is hard. Like, really hard. It's not for no reason that for a long time, Japan was the only region that could really utilize the character. I do think, when played to full potential, Greninja is probably top 15 or maybe even top 10, but I don't think he's as...

I'm seeing a fair amount of Corrin talk in the last couple pages. I've actually always kind of liked the character in Ult, but I agree that she is super bad, probably bottom 5. What I'm curious to know is what people think makes her so bad. I've always felt that her neutral is actually fine...

I feel like the only thing Byleth needs to be good is that neutral B needs to be better. If she could force approaches effectively, her gameplan would probably work fine. For example, imagine Byleth had Charge Shot or Thoron. Suddenly you have to go in and now those big hitboxes are scary...

Finally got around to playing a bunch of Byleth tonight so it's time for some super late impressions! In general, I sort of like the design of the character, as some people mentioned with Banjo, it's kind of nice to have a DLC character that just feels like they fit in with the game, rather...

Obviously a bit late, but that game 4 in the first set was legendary, I feel like people will be talking about that for a while. Leo winning might not be too unexpected, but no one can say that grand finals set wasn't crazy.

I've only skimmed it so far, but so far I'm liking what I see, Isabelle, Corrin, and Plant all getting some love.
