Maybe the culprit is some of the characters that feel less focused? For instance, I think Snake, Charizard, and Sonic are excellent because they have a specific playstyle and they stick to it while still being appealing. However, characters like ROB and Pit who have gimmicks but can be played multiple ways making them less focused which affects other characters who aren't like that negatively. Does anyone else get this kind of feeling?

I definitely get this feeling.

Yeah, so I know that I am not very popular around here, but I just want to say that I do appreciate the PMBR and I can't thank them enough for what they have done despite I disagree with them on certain design decisions. And I have played demo 2 and I think it goes without saying how excellent it is.

However, upon fiddling around with most of the characters, does anyone else get that feeling like some characters may affect the playability of others? For instance, characters like Link and Marth feel boring now and outclassed by either other character(s) or dull in general. I feel that the only ones who might still be interested in them is their mains. Pikachu and maybe Luigi might also be applied to that category but I'm not sure.

However, I like all the characters. I still think Wolf won't be as good as Fox and Falco and I think Zelda being able to air dodge from teleport is a little goofy, but aside from that and potential playability issues. Its pretty solid. Great job again.

I think this is because of the changes (and lack thereof) applied to many characters. You feel Marth is dull because there is nothing "new" about him, nothing shiny. But give this demo a few months to work itself out and I promise many will go flocking back to Falcon, Marth, Pika, etc. simply because they are done experimenting with the shiny new chars and remember why they loved the old ones to begin with.

In regards to the lack of focus, maybe that is true, or maybe you just haven't gotten a good feel for the character(s) yet (considering the demo has been out 1 day).

why are people complaining about wolf's laser? The move is great, you just need to know at what ranges it is most effective. It was weird getting the timing down at first, but once you know the timing its actually pretty lenient. I can wavebounce waveland all the time and even travel behind two lasers (or even inside of the laser)

If you see you are in danger of getting hit with a sh aerial or something, waveland backwards. If you actually are getting hit, you aren't being very smart about when you are using it.

I like the move, its really good.

You'd know why we were "complaining" if you followed the discussion.

I'll join the fun. ^___^

Falco d-tilt doesn't kill fox at 115% but at 116%

1% off Fail. lol

King.D is fine, i would have only made two changes, the strength of his minion toss so they go farther and faster. Also i was have giving him a bit less traction, so he would slide a bit during crouch cancels.

For ToonLink all i would have asked for is som extra "Air Stop Mobility'

Sonic is fine now, anything they do to him after this would be extra's.

I'm only waiting for Kirby at this point, and dreaming of a Pichu comeback.

Well from what I read, it was just something about being too difficult to do and that it was too slow or something. Did I miss anything else?

Also +1 for wolf's usmash

Not sure exactly how it works, but something cool always happens when I land it.

Yeah, right now its just a feeling. We'll know for sure if a coherent playstyle begins to form for these characters.

Also I can't help but feel that Charizard's SH non FF bair should autocancel since the move's endlag extends lonnng past its active frames. It would make such a miniscule difference for Charizard since he'd get grabbed or OoS'd anyway, but for the sake of aesthetics, a clean ending to the move would be nice.

I've already asked SWF Moderators about it; it is not considered advertising in that sense. Thanks for your concern though.

I have a challenge for you all. Who can do the most taunt cancels on the top of the **** tent on Hyrule Castle. It doesn't matter who you use but the taunt cancel has to have a sound play. It's also very much appreciated if you can record it as well. :D

Pretty much you jump and then immediately hit down b, and it cancels into his landing animation of his down b, it looks like he is making a little shock wave.
