Smash Lord
Okay. This has been talked about before, but never on a straight up scale (or none I could find really...)
Speed v.s Power.
Now lets look back at Melee, because that's the basis of everyone's Smash nowadays. I've heard this from both Tourney players and Casuals. Speed wins, OKAY? I'm not going to argue that claim, because it is, in fact true.
(But it's not the character, it's the player!)
(STFU! GO AWAY! By your freaking logic, Bowser should be winning tourneys! HE'S NOT!!!)
Sorry. Anywho, this is extremely apparent. Not only can the speedy characters interrupt any and all attacks, right? This is apparently going to be solved by "Super Armor"
But what of dodging? The attacks maybe in part uninterruptable, but their speed will still be lacking and any player worth their weight with a fast character will just end up dodging and totally punish the player for even making a move!
Any ideas on how Sakurai plans to address this if he does at all?
Will I ever shut up?
Is this thread lame because I'm half asleep, coming off a caffiene high and it's past midnight?
(Hint, the third answer is yes.)
EDIT: WHOOPS! Sorry, I meant to add on the execptions to the Speed wins rule. Pichu and Pikachu. Thanks for reminding me people. The main question I'm trying to ask though is, "Is Super Armor enough to let the slow characters stay on par with the Quick characters?"
Thanks Tony_
