Mii Brawler "Head-On Assault" Down-B Edgeguarding

[UnsuspectingVillager]

I haven't seen anyone post about this, so i'll make a thread.

The Mii Brawler's Down-Special can be used to Meteor Smash while edgeguarding, and it's pretty effective imo.

Give me your thoughts.

It's neat, I like how simple it is to meteor smash your opponent in that way... but the thing is, Feint Jump is just so damn good when compared to Head-on Assault that it just doesn't compare, to me

Too bad you can't use both of those moves, because I actually think this IS pretty cool

While Feint Jump is leaps and bounds ahead of HoA, HoA is viable in the sense that its part of his default lineup, and if custom moves aren't allowed, we're going to have to use HoA whether we like it or not.

Now on the discussion of HoA, the meteor smash seems powerful but it can easily be meteor cancelled, not to mention it can be seen coming a mile away. It's sad really, the poor move works like Bower's down B but it can't even grab the ledge if facing away. And doing it off stage as a suicidal move still ends up killing you first. Honestly I don't see this edge-guarding tactic to be very useful.
