This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Even Battlefield would be more ideal for Little Mac than Final Destination. Although the prospect of a near-guaranteed KO with one attack looks promising on paper, Little Mac's poor aerial game and poor recovery may well hinder this a fair amount. I guess time will tell, though. I really hope Little Mac does well - I've been sooo excited to play as him in this game.
Hopefully, Sakurai himself is thinking the same thing after the Invitational. Fingers crossed, he may receive a bit of a buff of some sort before the games actually release.
this is what i was thinking, if anything tomodachi is going to be his stageThe way people talk about Little Mac really hurts my head sometimes ...
Let me put it this way.
Do you think a fast-faller susceptible to juggles with poor, slow or weak aerials and no easy way to get back to grounds would *benefit* from platforms in the air that he can tech on to escape combos, or be *hurt* by them?
Use your heads, people
A great start would be fixing his recovery. I'm A-ok with him having poor aerials, but for the love of Doc, his recovery!
A little early to be requesting that he gets buffs, don't you think?
On the contrary, it's the perfect time to request buffs (or more like, pray they notice the shortcommings). Because once the game's out, it's finalized until the next SSB comes along.
I'm pretty sure they'll be working on balance up until the Wii U version is out, first of all. And second, they understand the game 1000 times better then we do currently. Telling them to buff characters when they know the little tricks that make up for their shortcomings doesn't help at all.
As a Luigi main I'm getting deja vu thinking about his recovery options
It's interesting that you say that about his weaknesses overpowering his strengths... I'm having trouble stopping him. Yeah, he's cruddy when knocked off the stage or in the air, but getting him to this point is the problem. Whenever I've played For Glory, I get put with a bunch of people who refuse to play as anyone other than Little Mac. Yeah, there are some awful ones, but some Little Macs just rush in and beat down whoever I try to use without giving me the option of fighting back. If they knock me off the edge, forget about it! They'll just follow me to where I land and send me right back before I can compose myself. The only success that I've had is with Marth and Lucina, with both being able to barely (and only sometimes) out-range him and use his strength against him with Counter. Even then, once they start putting their guard up, even throws won't work because he's so darn fast at dodging. Help.
I'm pretty sure players will figure out ways to fight on platforms with Little Mac.
Nice vid.
This Mac also destroyed a Rosalina. Once the Luma was out, Little Mac just needed some Up Smashes and game over. Rosalina is Mewtwo weak. 2 charged Smashes and good bye.
Yeah she's weak in the weight department, but the character itself is high-top tier material. If your a good Little mac player, on FD, you'll have the up hand. Once people know how to face Little Mac, it will be easily for a lot of characters, especially ranged/projectile characters like Palutena, Rosalina, Robin, etc.
Looking back at previous Smash games, the top tier characters are usually lightweights.
Yeah that's the general rule in all fighting games, especially Smash. Don't get hit and you'll be fine, it's just the matter of utility and power of a character that matters.
