Dude, you know that very few people agree with you saying the plant is op, so how about you take a big, huge chill pill and maybe absorb what everyone here is saying before you rage again, ok?
Christ, dude. For someone on a Smash Bros forum, you don't seem to be too fond of the game itself. If you aren't having fun, maybe go play something else.
Why shouldn't he have the extra weight? Why shouldn't he have an "unhittable Gordo" which most certainly is not Gordo because it is severely lacking in providing on-stage pressure against any player with a functional control stick? Why shouldn't he have a ridiculously long but easy to punish recovery? All of these things that you seem to think make him broken (which don't) are based entirely on your own vision of how weak the character should be. There is nothing inherently busted about having any of these attributes, and I challenge you to come up with an objective argument as to why these things make Piranha Plant unfair. Give me a situational example or some stats. Otherwise you're just making baseless claims.
Theres no point anymore. I forget this got moved to the PP board so now its in a fanboy zone. TC asked what everyone thinks about this thing and i think its broken.
People often say "it's my opinion" to shelter a belief that should have been abandoned. Saying that is your opinion doesn't invalidate other people's counter arguments on this thread or make yours less indefensible. Trying to accuse them of fanboys because they don't agree with you is a poor form of defense. You can think whatever you want, but that doesn't mean that your opinion is a serious candidate for the truth.
This bothers me more than it should. Literally why.
I think the same. The specials just feel off for some reason. Having a chargable side special is strange, and the down special just FEELS bad.
WHAT IF THEY MADE IT AUTOCHARGE LIKE ROB LASER
I think the reality is that this person knows he has no valid reason to believe Plant is OP and just has a raging hateboner for the character for whatever reason, so now he's just using "w-well you guys wouldn't listen anyway" as a convenient excuse to avoid having to defend his arguments.
Hes broken imo.
My observation is that your opinion is disconnected from reality.
Stir the pot? This post was initially in general discussion i didnt intentionally come to the pp board to talk about a broken plant. TC asked what we think about this thing and, i said what i think. I think pp is unbalanced and broken in my opinion. Of course ppl are gonna disagree but thats not my problem.
Fair enough. He's definitely far from broken, high mid tier at best imo, but you think what you want for whatever reason you please so long as you don't come here and bug plant mains about it
That would rule! It would have to be a slow autocharge, but that would be super cool.
also this needs to happen
For competitive I think I'll stick with Big the Cat, but PPlant is definitely someone I'll be using against my buddies in casual matches.
Being misunderstood is kind of weird considering he's more straightforward to play well compared to 4, even if he does still have a learning curve.
Low and bottom-tiered characters can still win tournaments, in previous games and this. Examples including DJnintendo using Bowser in Melee, or the few Dedede mains in Smash 4, both of which when the characters were bottom tier. I was more of referencing that not just anybody can pick them up and expect to be absolutely amazing, since the low tier characters are there for a reason. Pac-Man is that way too despite having won a tournament, but many I've spoken to consider him bottom tier even if the best out of the bottom of the barrel.
, Piranha Plant fits the mold nicely. Ptooie has a lot of application and is probably my favorite of its specials. I just like using it, be it for edgeguarding, trading, or using it as an anti-air. Poison Breath deals so much damage, especially with a grab, so I always make sure to have a fully charged one on standby. In addition to the damage, I find the fact that it obscures vision can set up for a lot of mindgames, particularly charging a smash attack or using Long-Stem Strike. Speaking of, Long-Stem Strike was kinda weird to learn at first, but I eventually got used to the timing and learned when to start tilting to get specific angles. One of my favorite things to do is fall off-stage while charging it and land a quick attack. Priceless.. Poison Breath can also be reflected, so that could make characters with reflectors difficult to deal with, especially . Overall though, I'm really satisfied with Piranha Plant. Will definitely be a main.
