-dead- @ qualificationsI don't know if I was then, but I'm more qualified than Orion to talk about Puff now aha
I want to make a note that you are entirely judging me from 1 of 5 million 1$ money matches done at 5am over a year and a half ago.Just looks like a typical "I don't play Puff" video to me, off-set by the fact that Orion is a good player, I suppose...
Approaching deep (whilst facing towards Ramin, no less!), recovering with Rollout, unfamiliarity with her options, predictable pounds and not utilizing one of Puff's key strengths - that she can escape from almost any "pressured" situation if she wants to - at all.
I think every Puff I have ever seen does something like this when they start out... xD
not what i said, lmao>"Don't judge me based on one video"
i judged you based on an entire set that you posted in relation to showing your skill with puff>Judges me based on one video
It is because allens followups and ability to maintain momentum isnt good. getting grabbed is one thing, getting grabbed and then being in the position to take another 30 damage or lose a stock is not.What is DK's punish for SHAD at that range? Allen was jabbing, tilting or grabbing me if I air dodged near him... That's not getting away with it...
The DK you where playing doesnt anti at all, which is like all he needs to do in response to that. Everytime he gets a hard read he goes for something stupid like fsmash, and he doesnt keep stage control.But most of the time I was doing it out of his tilt range in case he decided to turn around and SH bair approach, that's why it was my "jam" - it's viable jam (mm tasty) in that MU.
You can make decent assessments. But i feel like your overall understanding of the ranges that people can punish at higher levels of play is flawed. I'm not saying your horrible, but good people will **** you up for that.I even mentioned my dumb air dodge habits and have since fixed them. I can make those assessments because I understand my character, and as good as your Puff may be, I don't think you have the general experience - I can point out specific situations that show this, if you'd like, unless you have some better evidence...?
you could have adapted if he started that, but from watching, you were airdodging very preemptively.Legit response. I would've been bair'ing instead of air dodging if Allen ran in though, but we don't want to delve too far into theory-craft aha
Like I said before though, I feel like Puff is almost immune to momentum-based follow-ups. In recent times, if I'm in a bad position I just back off and wait for a moment to go back in (which always comes eventually). I'd love to play more experience players though and see if that theory holds true at higher levels.
as for mk jiggs, i put it as +3. she has no reasonable mixups to approach him imo, MKs frame data + her range and fall speed just dont work out.In fact, one of the reason I think MK is +4 against Puff is because she doesn't have that option against him, but I digress.
No Usmash is way better. If your opponent is smart they will DI to where you are going to appear and get caught by the wind. Granted you can make them guess but even still I dont like risking a guess on a something that requires a 1 second in advance read on a move that doesnt kill til 150.I thought sheik sucked at killing.
Now I just Up-b air dodge reads and Sheik is IMO top of mid tier.
She's definitely not highSheik is close to high if not high imo, she has alot decent matchups vs high/top tiers

Ike can't jump and throw out extremely fast aerials without much landing lag that are setups for other moves that people vehemently try to avoid.No Usmash is way better. If your opponent is smart they will DI to where you are going to appear and get caught by the wind. Granted you can make them guess but even still I dont like risking a guess on a something that requires a 1 second in advance read on a move that doesnt kill til 150.
If you can reliably make reads that hard, pick Ike and kill people at 40%.
Sheik is not anywhere near top of Mid. DK and Rob are sooooo much better.
Sheik has decent MU in top tier FOR A MID TIER. Like they are still pretty bad. -2 on MK, -1 on Snake, -1 maybe even -1.5 on Olimar, -3 Pika, Probably actually -1 on Falco, Even Wario, -1.5 diddy, -3.5 IC's, -1 MarthSheik is close to high if not high imo, she has alot decent matchups vs high/top tiers
![]()
What? DK is like -3 with MK / ICs, -2 vs Olimar and -1 against Snake. Bad match-ups against DDD, spacies and Wario included and DK is quite clearly worse than Sheik who has viable match-ups against Spacies, Diddy, Wario, Oli kinda and Snake kinda. The only character that Sheik does straight-up worse against than DK is Pikachu.DK has some bad MU's in top but he also has some good ones.
ALOT of people thinks DK beats Snake, also Sheik IC is almost -4. MK is not -3 yea right. Alot of DK's also dont think Falco is that bad. DK would wreck wario if not for the cg some DK'sdont think thats that bad either.What? DK is like -3 with MK / ICs, -2 vs Olimar and -1 against Snake.

close to high imo... she is one of these characters with amazing potential.Sheik is close to high if not high imo, she has alot decent matchups vs high/top tiers

hes not low tierDon't tournaments ban the D3 dumb throw infinite? Basically making the unwinnable matchup useless.
Doesn't DK have really solid options against characters. I mean he does get chaingrabbed a lot but he has a good air game, edge guard game, and some combos and mixups. He also has very good survivability and good kill moves and options.
I'm just curious as to why you think DK is a low tier.
i can't even take these numbers seriouslySheik has decent MU in top tier FOR A MID TIER. Like they are still pretty bad. -2 on MK, -1 on Snake, -1 maybe even -1.5 on Olimar, -3 Pika, Probably actually -1 on Falco, Even Wario, -1.5 diddy, -3.5 IC's, -1 Marth
The fact that the character isn't viable on any of those stages kind of dissuades me from agreeing with youAnd DK has the BEST stage viability bar like MK and Wario.
All of the characters you listed have extremely large character design flaws that offset whatever good frame data they have. If I even have to explain what they are then this discussion is going to take forever.Frame data isn't the only thing that matters characters with some characters with great frame data are bad (Luigi, Squirtle, Lucas' is pretty good, Mario even has good frame data) btw Dk's isn't bad at all his frame data to range ratio is absurb.
Snakes not bad in comparison to 90% of the cast on paper.@ Shaya Like Sheik seems really good and she is on paper, but Snake is pretty bad on paper the games not paper.
ghebs with the gdlk postWhat? DK is like -3 with MK / ICs, -2 vs Olimar and -1 against Snake. Bad match-ups against DDD, spacies and Wario included and DK is quite clearly worse than Sheik who has viable match-ups against Spacies, Diddy, Wario, Oli kinda and Snake kinda.

Its really not that good.
You either don't know what 'literally' means or you show some terrible sportsmanshipIf you stay at like tipper ftilt range and poke vs dk with most characters he cant do much. if he ftilts your block you can literally **** on him for it if you buffer a dash out of shield, and it becomes automatic after you start reacting properly.
Quoting for emphasis.hes not low tier
more like.... low/mid of mid tier
but he's tremendously overrated mu wise, he has like no solid options from neutral
he's a great punish character, i.e. assuming inperfect play he's amazing.
his air game is only a bit above average. punch gives him solid mixups, but outside of that there are a lot of holes.
not to many scary strings outside of something that shouldnt work with proper di/sdi
his edge gaurd game is solid vs a lot of characters, but he's not doing anything most characters are incapable of
punch and dsmash kill early but aren't very mobile options
If you stay at like tipper ftilt range and poke vs dk with most characters he cant do much. if he ftilts your block you can literally **** on him for it if you buffer a dash out of shield, and it becomes automatic after you start reacting properly.
His dash shield is pretty mediocre at that range because any poke will stuff the dash, and since he has a 8 frame grab you can also just grab him. They do have the option to try dash attack that but lol....
his spot dodge is bad, his shield is bad
his ledge options arent that great. getup attack is good but what's actually scary is mistiming grabbing his airdodge onstage. so if you learn to just stand and that range, and then block to turn around grab if he getup attacks you can cover most of his options pretty solidly.
if he jumps facing you his options are bad. he gets juggled horribly, and only has decent options upon the actual landing if he has punch.
to be honest bair is mad gay, but if you just block and let it reset you're not gonna get wrecked. side b is like 20 frames or something you should be able to react to any dumb mixups he goes for. it's also not a spammable option because most characters wont be hit by it if they stay grounded and shield properly, and DK will give up stage if he wants to do it safely. It's amazing as an anti air if they read your jump though.
his recovery in all honesty is in some ways underrated. its not that easy to gimp him (or should i specifically say will, and even then it's not a surprise when i do get them) despite it being linear. but a lot of characters do have gay options vs it.
wario sheik is defo evenI agree with IC, pika and snake, but other then that, MK is defintely -1, -1 olimar, falco should be even, wario should be + 1 sheik and diddy is only a -1
American public schools really just didnt put me on the right path to respond to this right nowYou either don't know what 'literally' means or you show some terrible sportsmanship
ThisQuoting for emphasis.
DK is bunz, but does decent results-wise because humans have a tendency to mess up. He's kinda like Luigi in that sense.

you saltyEveryone hatin'.
Sheik vs Wario is like even. Not Sheiks favor...
