You can't take stocks off masterhand.
And I wouldn't want to spot dodge for 8 minutes either. Regardless of what you do to avoid his attacks, matches vs masterhand would be the most boring time-consuming matches ever.
Reverse that actually.
(edit will reflect it)
If HE gets a stock off, he wins, but the most likely end you get one hit and dodge his pathetic attacks for 8 minutes.
Honestly, I find it amusing that we're considering banning the most legitimately horrible character in the game, he deserves an epic fail on the tierlist.
Still, 7 or 8 minutes fighting the master hand is I think something we should be prepared to do.
I doubt many people will play him though, he's just far too bad for people to consider legitimately playing him in a tournament.
Remember, he's legitimately got 0-100 match-ups against the ENTIRE cast, I figure if people wanna let me coast through the brackets, why not let them?
adumbrodeus-WTF you cant take a stock off the master hand. And why would you stand there and spot dodge for 8 minutes when that doesnt even prevent you from taking damage. If you are going to camp do it right. Get a projectile and shoot him and get ahead in percent. Then ledge hop so you are invincible.
I misworded, I meant since it's impossible for you to take a stock off him, if he gets a stock off, you lose automatically, but it's never gonna happen.
And by spot-dodge I meant on reaction, his attacks are pathetically easy to beat by spot-dodging on reaction because of their crazy lead-time.
Getting ahead by percent was assumed.
Honestly, do we really need to discuss strategy against the master hand, all of his attacks have at least falcon's f-smash in start-time (and only if you're right on top of him), and most make warlock punch seem fast. Just dodge, he's totally irrelevant, and anybody who doesn't see a player trying to use the master hand as, "oh, free win", needs to get a lot better at the game or get their head checked out.
If people wanna be stupid and play master hand, let them, I'll take my EZ mode win and laugh to the bank.
