I'm starting to feel really bad for Shulk.

You're probably right, but at least I've got something to sell if I hate it.

Special Edition has been sold out for months.

Nojinko is the only Japanese Ike player I can name off the top of my head.

The sword hitbox, the one used to catch the 2 frame vulnerability, wasn't touched. It's still 7 frames. The flame hitbox is what gained more active frames.

Blade Beam sucks without Limit. Eruption is a fantastic edge-guarding tool, Counter makes certain matchups really sad and having no QD would be terrible. Cloud makes me glad that Ike didn't get a sword beam.

Nothing specific to Ike, it was just done as a shot-for-shot reference to the final portion of the final boss battle of FF7.

Dark Pit has a red alt, regular Pit does not. I'm a simple guy.

The best you can do to avoid it is to try and throw off his timing and/or ride the wall to shorten the amount of time Ike has to hit you. Even then, Ike still has 7 active frames to hit you out of the 2 frame ledge snap vulnerability, which Falcon can't do much about with no hitbox on his Up B...

It's still plenty worth to use Ike on Anthers in order to study matchups, just don't take it too seriously. It's ranked, sure, but it's still wifi.

Here's an explanation.

These two factors coupled with the first hit of Aether having high knockback so that it links with the rest of the move. He hit only the first hit with rage and while his opponent was charging a smash, so the first hit just killed outright. It's such a rare occurrence that it's more of a minor...

Giving him the Brawl jab combo with its damage and cancels in tact in this game where SDI is nearly nonexistant. EZ%. Make his run speed equivalent to Shield Monado Shulk's walk speed.

A wise player once told me to use WiFi mostly to practice matchups and practice offline for the rest. Seems like sound advice to me. You can still figure out what does well and what doesn't in a matchup for the most part in a bit of lag. Also lag bodies tilt stick. Smash stick has the problem...

Been considering a secondary for a while now. DK was the OG secondary back in the 3DS days and Pit seems like a decent enough choice to compliment my playstyle, but maybe not so much my character. Having two characters with overwhelmingly average matchups isn't too great. Recently I've dabbled...
