We all know that Corrin's counter is at least very good. There have been a plethora of videos emerging showing just how strong it is. Some examples are:
Killing Marth @ 25% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwrunvHJqlM
And her killing Bowser at 0% off a fully charged Fsmash https://twitter.com/BlankSmash/status/695604041087328258
However, recently this clip emerged of an actual game, where Little Mac was killed at 3%:

To me this is infuriating. I'm not a huge fan of Little Mac, but to his credit he was completely outplaying the Corrin, only to die because of one counter. However, what's even worse is some of the responses to these videos such as "I mean It was a tipper Fsmash ¯_(ツ)_/¯" or "You use Little Mac, you had it coming".
Are Corrin mains really in such denial? 2.57 KBG is ridiculous, and the fact that the counter hits on both sides and launches at an upward angle means it completely outclass every counter in the game. Not even Finishing Touch or KO punch can kill at 3%.
And of course there's the obvious counter argument that you should "just play around it" and "that it leaves Corrin vulnerable if it misses." That's not a satisfactory justification at all. I know how to bait a counter, and how to punish people for it, but the truth of the matter is if you play a skilled player, they will know how to land it, and you'll never be able to avoid it one hundred percent of the time. Furthermore, all of the other counters in the game have the same risk/reward element to it, except in their case the reward is much lower. You shouldn't be able to be reliably killed at 3% for one mistake.
The truth of the matter is that Corrin needs to be rebalanced. If you don't think this is the case, then you're delusional. I personally have my doubts that Patch 1.14 was truly the last patch. Right now the game is in an unbalanced state. Both Corrin and Bayonetta (as much as I love her) need some tweaking, and some glitches need to be addressed. Nintendo can't possibly introduce two new characters into the meta and expect everything to be left completely fine. So fingers crossed that some changes happen.
