    Minor nitpick but while diddy kong was an absurd character on its own, pre nerf sheik would have been the true smash 4 killers if no patchnotes happened. The character got nerfed pretty much every patch until removing her dthrow uair 50/50 finally knocked her out of god tier into arguably still...

    at this point we could just admit we're looking for any excuse to bully zoomer steve labbers out of the game lol. don't get me wrong this tech looks pretty powerful (but it has limitations!) and is on top of a pretty strong character already, but taking action before any proper tournament result...

    Banning kazuya's zero-to-death combo is one of the most absurd reactions I've seen in a while, completely arbitrary and inapplicable in practice. Respectfully disagree. While there may be correlations between "trying to make character true to source" and power level (could argue that this is...

    Intersting. Not tooo surprised though tbh considering seph is a F1 turbo machine compared to byleth, him having better frame data than them would be terrifying. He might have slightly better specials too - they both have really good up b, good side b (maybe seph is better?) and ok neutral b, but...

    Slight tangent here (I had no idea Mythra was so heavy lmao this character is cracked), but since I've seen that point fairly often I thought I'd address it - is it really meaningful to think of Arsene as a comeback mechanic? He's gonna come out every stock in most games (unless you get cheesed...

    Duck Hunt is... weird. I'm not entiiirely an expert on the character (I just play a local dhd fairly often) but from what I saw of my games and other people playing him he's just completely hopeless without can lol. If it ever gets stuck on a plat somewhere you can just unga bunga him and you'll...

    Random sora notes: Buttons seem pretty good! Dtilt and smashes are all generous on hitboxes, jab 1 has a good vertical hitbox as well that's pretty neat to cover ground + short hops. Up b's range is pretty neat as well and you can side-b mixup if you whiff (although it remains to be seen how...

    I mean you don't need to be bayo/mk level to be nerfed in this game lol, (see: every single top tier nerf we had). Our patches so far have consisted of: Low tier buffs, usually to characters who a) havent been buffed last patch and b) are bad according to most metrics (see: orionrank...

    Random thoughts: Very vanilla compared to most DLCs we had, which is kind of a nice change of pace. This neutral b is what hero menu should have been lmao, it seems fun to use, I'm really looking forward to combine this + b-reverses + that floatiness. Recovery seems good obviously. FAF and...

    Just gonna address this lil bit ... does it? I gotta say I thought about it and I find the correlation very shaky at best lol. The best argument I could find to correlate your point is that an unbalanced game will let competitors get free wins of people who play bad characters which is... true...

    Not sure I'd completely write out joker tbh, he still performs pretty well (#5 Orion rank as I check rn, and I guess that doesn't count mkleo since he barely played him lately?). The character left pre-pandemic meta in a "he's really hecking good"' state and since then got only a slap on the...

    Yo this is sick! How easy/consistent are they to do? I'd love to have some practical teleportation applications coz that move is so cool but "you have to be within these pixels otherwise you dead" current cancels are a bit whack lol.

    Gave a quick glance at these Kazuya games (mostly the Marss ones) and a few things interested/surprised me: - He plays more like a traditional smash character than I expected? This could absolutely be a player thing though (or a matchup thing, I'll have to watch the other games lol). But I went...

    Honestly the part that scared me the most about down smash is its 2-frame potential, I really hope that hitbox doesn't go too low XD Otherwise the kit seemed pretty diverse in term of normals, which should give him pletora of options in close range situations and matchups. Wonder how he'll fare...

    Agreed with this overall, I'm not sure his kill power is his issue. Half his moveset (including 2 throws, a projectile, and a command grab) kills at high % and he has some cheese potential lol. I guess you could make the case that he'd be better if his advantage state was as absurd as fox/pichu...
