    SHADIC vs MuteAce was a spicy set that went to game 5, set 2. MuteAce SD'ing at near 0 was a big bummer during that final game, but still an immaculate performance from the two. In the meantime... Bonito Harbor (Mexican Superregional) 1st: Sparg0:ultcloud::ultmythra: 2nd...

    To clarify, players back in early Ultimate thought Diddy was straight up low tier. It the combination of both his much weaker recovery, but also his neutral and KO tools being weaker back then too. He had a much harder time killing while dying much sooner himself. The banana pyramid infinite was...

    As a bonus, I am going to list the characters, showing how much they increased/decreased from the last list (man, I missed doing stuff like this).

    PMRank 2023: 3-1

    Cool to see how much the rankings changed from last year! Now the question I have is if Meta Knight's throne since PM 3.6 been taken this time around? Sheik seems to be the talk-of-the-town this year.

    Melee Samus has kinda fallen off in comparison to how she fared in the early 2010s; at the very least, her being top 10 is highly debatable now. Ultimate Samus' standing in the meta is noticeably stronger in comparison, especially impressive in a 80 character roster. When looking in a vacuum...

    I have a fun thought experiment here: imagining how a version of a character would fare if he/she is slapped into a different Smash game's engine. For example imagining what would happen if :foxmelee: was slapped into the SSB4 engine for example. It oftentimes makes you think of how much a...

    New Smash Ultimate Spirit Event is Almost Here!

    Recently did both the spirits and spiritless fights for each of them. All of them were fairly easy with spirits. Without can be a little tricky, but far from the hardest thing ever. Rauru had potential to be one of the most obnoxious spiritless fights in the game, even moreso than the very...

    Surprisingly solid tier list; at this point, we are getting a bit closer and closer to a general consensus on where each character goes. Mii Brawler continues to be the biggest tiering anomaly in the game though; many players believing that the character is strong, but with close-to-no results...

    A common thing with most fighting games is greater defensive play in response to a more optimized punish game. As Smash Ultimate's punish game across the cast becomes more optimized, playing a more defensive game to make sure the opponent doesn't get The Hit™. We are now past the 5 year mark of...

    Likely not. He would definitely be better, especially when it comes to abusing his powerful One-Wing mechanic more often, but the character still has to contend with his dismal frame data, tall hurtbox, and deceptively precise hitboxes.

    Just for a fun thought experiment, I decided to come up with a list of some of the weakest and strongest Smash characters to exist (not in order). Strongest JPN 64 Pikachu, JPN 64 Kirby, NTSC Melee Fox, Brawl Meta Knight, Brawl Ice Climbers, Vanilla SSB4 Rosalina, Vanilla SSB4 Bayonetta...
