Smash 4 Pro Mains Interviews from Hungrybox, ESAM, Wizzrobe, Axe, MVD, D1

[Punny]

While I was Tipped Off 10 this past weekend I got to Interview Hungrybox, ESAM, Wizzrobe, Axe, MVD, D1 about who they will be maining for Smash 4.

 

[Funkermonster]

What D1 said about people jumping to conclusions when the game's only been out for so long... I'd have to agree with it.

Duck Hunt Dog sure looks pretty popular though, might have to try him myself.

Very cool video, thank you for that!

I personally agree with D1. most people are judging this game too soon and already making tier lists. I do agree that DHD looks really good and bowser looks good (Thank god since he was my main in the series since Melee). However, other characters are starting to appear in tournament play along with ZSS, Bowser, and DHD. Those are Pac-man (The ways he uses the fire hydrant is clever), Greninja, Rosalina, Shiek, Wario, Little Mac, etc.

I'm excited for future tournaments to feature a variety of characters.

 

[Dr. Corndog]

I'm so glad to hear so many people talking about DHD. He's the ultimate troll character, and one character that I would have included if it were up to me, but that I never would have expected Sakurai to include.

I agree it's a little early to decide a main at this point. Though I play Random so I might not have the same kinda viewpoint most people do.

Good video I do agree with picking a character you like and playing them. The game hasn't hit the states people play characters differently a tier list atm is kinda worthless. Some of those popular characters i can understand why people think their good. But things change.

I really appreciated the statements about chilling on tier list and other assumptions. I get the urge to have a tier list, I like to classify things too, but for me, generally when I got into something there was already a tier list. I'm sure it's the same for others, Melee's had a tier list forever and Brawl's had one for a while too. So people just want one now, but they're not putting in the work that makes a tier list a valid judge of character potential.

Same with judging mechanics, people need to actually get the full game in their hands, feel how everyone plays, and get a good handle on a lot of things before making assumptions of it.

 

[K-45]

Cool video I'm happy that people are picking characters that they enjoy.

 

[ToadsterOven]

One thing I think we can all agree on is that this iteration of Bowser is without a shadow of a doubt going to go places in competitive play that he could only dream about in Melee and Brawl.

 

[Gerpington]

Wizzrobe is adorable......

*cough*

Anyway. I full hardheartedly agree with D1...I've seen people on these boards making tier lists already.....that's pretty extreme (and ignorant) seeing how we barely have the information to make match ups yet let alone full blown tiers. I'm just going to pick up my girls Rosalina, Paulatena, Peach, and my boy ness play around with them a little and see which one sticks with me for now.

Why can't we cherish these fun learning months before a tier list exists and just enjoy our favorite characters rather than worry about tiers?

The fact that M2K is liking how sonic feels in this game is rather interesting to me though....

 

[Punny]

Thanks for the comments guys! It's really cool to this character insight from the top players in Smash. I will have a few more videos from Tipped Off 10 regarding Smash 4 going up this week so stay tuned!

I'll main Shulk, I don't really like the idea of picking an OP character because everyone rates it as top tier, which is why i'm hoping he isn't the #1 character in the game.

 

[Gabukin]

Its definitely Not to early to decide on main. If you're truly loyal to your favorite character you'll play them whether they are good or bad.
I'm gonna be maining Robin, Ness & Shulk regardless if they are good or not.

Speaking of teams, I think double Zelda might be pretty good too. Din's Fire in all of its variations is of course ideal for that, and a fully-charged Phantom Slash has a blind spot about a character-width in front of Zelda, which could be great for teams because one Zelda can use charged Phantoms to cover the Zelda in front of her. And of course, there's Farore's Squall, a Farore's Wind variation with a windbox throughout the entire travel distance that pulls characters along its path in exchange for not dealing damage. Since Team Attack is always on in tournaments, you could potentially use this to reposition your ally while they charge an attack, or reposition an enemy into your ally's attack. It could even allow a double recovery with two Zeldas as one Zelda can pick up the other with the windbox and then vice versa. Since there's no flinching on it, there's no risk of Farore's Laddering, but having almost double the distance could be really helpful. You could also use it to do things like use Din's Fire offstage, as your ally can pick you up with the windbox and pull you back to the stage.

...Actually, I just realized you might be able to Farore's Ladder with it. Farore's Squall to pull both you and your ally up > sourspotted DAir from ally to break you out of helpless > Farore's Squall > sourspot DAir > etc. It could work even better if you replace the DAirs with Nayru's Rejection, since that has no knockback growth whatsoever and is not a meteor smash (no matter how weak the meteor is on sourspotted DAir, the fact remains that it's still a meteor). It does like 2% with light flinching and forces the target to face away from you. Far better than 4% and a meteor like a sourspotted DAir.

It's pretty cool seeing this cuz I was actually there last weekend. It was my first big tournament (2nd tournament overall) that I went to. The Smash scene is awesome and I had a lot of fun. Got a chance to meet some of the big names in the community. I always see them on stream so it was cool seeing them in person.

I'm happy the pros seem to be taking an interest in this game. I'm definitely hype for it. Looks like they are too

Thanks for sharing. I'm just going to try and be the best with whatever character fits my playstyle
