It seems like Bear has tried to get the rulings changed for quite some time but it hasn't worked out, so it doesn't seem like getting complaints in now will make much of a difference unfortunately. Here's what he said in the reddit thread on Scatt not being able to attend EVO:

When watching GFs for Neokan Party I saw many complaints for "spin to win" sonic, but honestly I found Ixis to be one of the most entertaining Sonics I've ever watched. He carefully picked his time to go in but outside of that he was aggressive in a smart way. Instead of the usual hit-and-run he...

Yeah I understood the idea. My point was that this doesn't apply only to mewtwo, any multihit will work the same way so you have to make sure you aren't getting challenged head on when you press the multihit button regardless of your character. And thank god it works that way because otherwise...

This would be the case for any multihit move that trades with a single hit move though? Obviously :4mewtwo:Nair isn't a catch-all option to spam in all circumstances, but it's still really good at what it does so saying that it sucks at trades feels like deliberate underselling of the move. In...

A big problem with using Luigi as a counterpick character at high level play is that he requires physical dedication. If you can't mash cyclone with Luigi your recovery options become severely limited and you're likely to die early to characters with decent edgeguarding. The only exception to...

Can confirm Zenyou labs combo mixups like a monster. He's a great player and I'm glad to see him get the nice wins in.

Ngl I was pretty surprised by the occassional pessimism in the MK discord, the character is still great.

Super late response but technically Luigi can do it in two different ways! With his back to the ledge, Luigi can dthrow -> upsmash, regrab, dthrow to fair to dair offstage and cyclone semispike. With some stage space, Luigi can dthrow -> upsmash, regrab, dthrow -> fair nair, regrab, fthrow and...

The second suicide on game 4 was definitely not intentional. Mix was always at high % when he grabbed and whoever has the lower % has the highest degree of control on side B's aerial movement. That said I'm pretty sure the first one was intentional, and he should have guessed after seeing sonic...

Greetings! I generally play Luigi and Meta Knight, but watching some great Lucario players go at it left me quite impressed with the character. I managed to beat a pretty good megaman (Luigi's worst matchup) with a 3-day old Lucario so I figure I'll try to learn him some more. Could I get an...

It should be worth mentioning that one of the players that got decimated in Spain's Tech Republic tournament was Greward, a brawl veteran who got 2nd place in a large European tournament not too long ago. Only 2nd to Mr R and with decent competition like iStudying or J Miller, off the top of my...

Honestly the nerf has probably just made my Meta Knight more patient and all around better. One thing I'd add to the above is that he's a legitimately scary character when you get a lead and begin to play with the intent to timeout, since his 5 jumps and DC allow for lots of mixups with DC...

Watching Sodrek vs Cyve on Pandalis Pandemonium, Cyve has seemed to always mash Bayonetta's up B to escape combos, and manages to break out of even rapid jabs with it to convert into 20-30%. Many other characters can upB out of combos (:4dk::4sonic::4megaman: just to name a few) but it usually...

I've been able to replicate some degree of upair combos with 2-3 upairs to upB on random online players, while going for the combo at 4+ upairs percents usually ended up with losing the string. It appears that reducing the number of upairs to a minimum is the way to go now for kill confirms.

I read somewhere that characters that are put into tumble (?) at upair string percents can't be combo'd anymore. Messing around with the new upair I've found that it's still possible to combo Sheik at 37%-ish if you wait a split second between upairs to give Sheik's hurtbox time to shift...
