would Aether his way up nor how high would Air Slash.
You conveniently posted after me so I'm not double posting now wheee...
She lost her infinite I believe.
I didn't say she was bad. I said she's "maybe not top 5" now. We'll have to find out just how big of a difference the nerfs made through playing. But I'll still main her even if the nerfs keep coming. Although my current secondary character (Yoshi) may start getting a boost in playing time now.
I guess the proper answer should have been "5 minutes."
In all fairness, I was in part responding to your comment. But still... yeah.
No change. Just that his two hardest matchups (Sheik and Rosalina) were nerfed.
and that makes him broken? sorry I'm not following this :/
He was already considered one of the best characters in the game, with positive matchups against most of the roster without customs (game changes a lot with customs). Rosalina and Sheik were his biggest problems, and both have been non-trivially nerfed. So people are coming to the conclusion that Diddy Kong must be the best character in the game now.
I'm already crying... in my heartSay hello to the new top tier of Smash 4.
How long until people start crying for Diddy nerfs? I'll give it 2 weeks.
Psh, just use custom Ike. Yesterday, following @san. 's advice, I tested custom Ike (trophy rush is a pain, but it had to be done) with Tempest, Close Combat, and Aether Wave, against a Diddy player for quite some time. The results were mixed but I didn't think that I was at a disadvantage because I actually had landing options and quite a bit of range and disjoint on Diddy.
Actually Ganon's gotten some decent buffs. His Nair is actually sort of viable as an approach and you can now reliably combo off of Dthrow. It's not Ike-level buffs or quite as much as he needs but he's substantially improved.
And then Patch 1.0.5 comes out and Dedede's Gordo's are no longer reflectable while Diddy's down throw no longer combos into anything.
Please, my heart.
I see... I'll definitely look into using Ike for him.
I would assume so. Sakurai wants both versions to play the same, so it would only make sense.
Still, zard is the weakest character by far to get straight nerfed.
Greninja got absolutely butchered. Shurikens are slower, up-smash has tons of endlag on it, DACUS is probably removed, up-air doesn't spike any more (and people can fall out of it, but that may have been true before, I am told), Hydro Pump's windbox has been substantially lowered, and Shadow Sneak doesn't cancel any aerial endlag any more. He got hit far harder than anyone in the entire cast.
You can still taunt while charging shadow sneak and then cancel the taunt into the attack. You can't start up shadow sneak while taunting although it might have been like that before?
That's what I meant. I wasn't really familiar with how to perform.the technique but generally knew what it looked like. Shadow Sneak is a good high-risk, high-reward move.
Pretty sure WFT was nerfed as well (Fair leg hitbox is no longer unblockable)... unless if you think WFT is an overall better character than Zard.
No i was just decidedly unthorough when remembering the patch notes off the top of my head. Still, even if the nerf wasn't anything major, its weird to see among the shulk and zss buffs.
If you have tap jump off, then try inputting a jump right before the up smash.
