Nintendo's relationship with Smash right now is they don't want to kill it because that would be a PR disaster, especially after EVO 2013. At the same time, Nintendo have supported games like Splatoon, and other fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken have received support from the...

Just here to point out that Twitter combo videos do not necessarily mean a character is broken. They could be, but if it's hard to perform them in an actual match, or if it has counterplay by a good chunk of the cast, you're probably not going to hear that character is broken in the next couple...

There's also the rare option of using Cross Crop to get up from ledge. The impact can kill at high %, but it is not something to go for frequently as you can get punished if they see it coming. Nice mix-up option though. Darkest Lariat has invincibility on Incineroar's arms so long as you're on...

Some characters are designed to have specific flaws, and while some characters may get those flaws reduced in future patches (or furthered if the character is too overpowering like :ultpichu:), they will probably never go away. It's why they'll never give :ultlittlemac:buffs to his air game...

Sort of reminds me how when Samsora made a Peach MU chart, and I think he made so that Peach had losing MUs with about a quarter of the cast and went even with another quarter. Sounds like Top 10 material there.

If it's ordered left-to-right, it gets even worse. Lucario is the second worst in the game? Wario is #1? Kirby is better than Ken, Samus and Duck Hunt? There's hot takes, and then there's takes that miss the mark by a light year.

Doesn't the Omega form of GMM allow for Star KOs but the normal version doesn't? Either way, I really don't see these as good reasons for removing them from a stagelist. Stuff like Windy Hill's Omega version giving an unfair advantage to Snake and Isabelle I see, yet removing 32 stages (though...

To some people who want this topic summed up without reading walls of text, I recommend this video. If you want a TL;DR and a TL;DW basically attempts to implement rollback netcode is very unlikely due to how hard and costly it would be, other forms of netcode such as dedicated servers wouldn't...

Let me put it this way: if on certain stages platform camping is not only allowed but the norm, then Little Mac is probably the worst. If however people don't platform camp, Ganondorf is very likely the worst. But even if Ganondorf isn't the worst, he's still like Bottom 5.

I am convinced :ultganondorf:is the worst superheavyweight in the game. The only thing I think he has going for him is he has meaty hitboxes with a lot of knockback, so he's never low on kill options. But there are so many issues I see with him. Terrible mobility, both in the air and on the...

Probably someone like Link or Simon. Both used ranged weapons, have a ton of projectiles and can zone effectively against some characters. Their weakness is they don't have great recoveries, but they offer a different playstyle to Jigglypuff and Wario.

In-person Brawl tournaments are a thing of the past outside of a few rare ones like Super Smash Con. I won't be surprised if people still host online tournaments, but you'll have to use a different version for netplay since Nintendo stopped the Wi-Fi for the Wii. But I doubt they'll come back...

Do we even know if the old rules for the first FP apply to the second? The first FP said with each fighter comes music and a stage, fighters aren't echo fighters, and they're characters not yet represented in Smash. Was there any confirmation on this in announcements or interviews?

I remember reading that some professional Melee players use controllers that are technically malfunctioning in order to overcome a bug that's present in the game. What is this bug, and does playing with these controllers not also come with certain downsides?

I've maintained :ultgnw: is Top 20 for a while now. I can definitely see him being in Top 15, but to put him in Top 10 is a bit of a stretch because there are some match-ups where he can really struggle, and Top 5 is not an option because there are characters with far better results and match-up...
