Editted for fun and accuracy. Fun trivia of the day: There is one playable Smash character who deserves to be banned, which is Melee Master Hand for multiple very valid reason. (Unintended esoteric glitch, port-specific/cannot be mirrored, cannot die, all matches go to timeout + crash the game.)

Guys I'm pretty confident that Chrom Pichu Wolf Peach Olimar Pikachu Joker Hero Palu Pikachu Wario Pikachu Joker Pikachu Min Min ROB Pikachu Roy Pikachu Aegis Kazuya Aegis Kazuya Steve is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Glad I didn't have to type all that about Pyra = Alter-Ike. Passing Christmas thoughts, let's see: I think people keep overlooking that Sparg0's :ultcloud: did better in the aegis matchup than running the ditto, even if it lost set 2. All this talk about Byleth and Aegis, when we gonna talk...

CHOOSE YOUR OWN JOKE: Suggest that ProtoBanham is stupid for not realizing yet that Min Min was "done dirty" and is "dead", "gutted", and "inconsistent" now. Chide his foolishness and express hope that he one day catches up to commentators in the west. Bonus points for mocking Nietono's Pichu...

I really just feels like the ceiling to optimize against Pika is just as high as the ceiling to optimize Pika himself. Highly-precise aerials or grabs calling out Pikachu's specific, unique approach patterns is just giving people huge rewards against a lightweight character.

Shieldstun is calculated based on damage, and I believe this includes shield damage bonuses. (See: Pound) The result should be a couple fewer frames for Min Min. Keeping in mind that Min Min's ground game was already the safest on shield in the game, I'm unconvinced that this actually matters...

"Why is a killmove with 36 frames of invincibility resource-gated???" - this thread Infinite wonderwing wouldn't be a problem for anyone here, but would make the matchup beyond insufferable for low level players. So if it doesn't matter to us... ...and it does matter to most players...

I am the OG ROB fearmonger, and I think this is over the top. ROB's results have been decelerating, after a continued failure to break through to the summit. (Figuratively and literally) Time will tell, but it almost feels like a repeat of Lucina. (But with stronger, more dedicated mains giving...

Yeah I can't believe they would remove DI from the game in the last patch, crazy. ICs u-tilt to up-b is cute, though uair was already a thing. MM dash attack being better is quite nice, haven't seen anyone talking about it. Mewtwo f-throw does 18% 1v1, wild. Robin rapid jab doing even MORE...

And that's a wrap folks.

Hey look! The thing! He's doing the thing!

Charliedaking tried to warn us about Cloud, but no one listened.

Nobody asked, but here's a list of moves that are uniquely interesting to armor with :ultlittlemac: Straight Lunge as you try to end juggles: (Extra important things in bold) :ultmario: u-tilt, uair, dair, up-b, fireball :ultdk: up-b, aerial down-b :ultlink: u-smash startup, aerial up-b, bair...

That highway goes a lot longer. Keep going broader and you'll find Ness as the top character. Go far enough and it's probably like, Kirby. The game probably has, for any given metric defining "best", 6-12 different best characters depending on level of play being discussed.

It's funny. I'm really conservative with patch changes, andI have a lower view of Aegis than most people. Yet I am still pretty okay with hypothetical Aegis nerfs. It's actually identical to how I was okay with Min Min nerfs previously, which did come to pass. They are not a problem, but...
