Okay, so how come every time I try to u-air a falling swordie (or anyone else with a weapon) with Zelda I take damage and they don't? If it was just a matter of timing I'm pretty sure I would have lucked out with that at least once by now.
Because Zelda's sticking her arm up to throw out a slow hitbox and they're getting you in the fingers. Spacing isn't about luck, and Zelda's Uair is going to need some extremely precise spacing to make the explosion come out at just the right height, at just the right timing, that it nicks the opponent without stretching her arm into something. It's probably outright impossible against lingering sword Dairs like Cloud and Link's.
Wait it does? While Ivysaur gives me trouble, I never thought of it as "scrub-friendly". Although then again I don't have that mentality for any sort of character...
I see people complain about Ivysaur all the time. Razor Leaf is spammable, Fair and Bair are hard to challenge, and its infamous Uair and Dair hitboxes are massive. Ivysaur also has a kill confirm at around 90% out of grab that people hate.
Blatant lie and untrue. The first and second sentence, especially the first. Ness isnt braindead at all for example.
I didn't say they're brain dead, I said people call them brain dead.
I'm gonna assume you weren't around when 4 launched, because people were definitely calling Little Mac braindead at release. King K. Rool also got called braindead too for being a way better heavy than the rest and people not knowing how to deal with his projectiles.
My bad, i thought u meant every character is braindead in some way. Some characters arent but a lot are. Like swor- nvm.
I assume all the characters you struggle against are braindead, then?
I agree with this entirely. I was under the assumption that swordies were generally an easy way to win, until I tried out Ike yesterday and realized I was pure garbage at him. Sure they're strong once you get them down, but they're by no means a free win.
Nope. No sir. Jigglypuff definitely isnt braindead.
25 is impractical though, why not 10.
Actually Prince Innes from Sacred Stones and a manakete (Nowi, Nah, Tiki) from Awakening are on the top of my wishlist of FE characters. How cool would it be to have a dedicated archer in here? He should not be about projectile spam though...
Guys, Link needs black or brown hair! I know all Links are descendants of one but come on, there are centuries between them, it's ridiculous!
This is the scrub mentality. Any who exhibit this mentality are no longer eligible for serious debate.
But, but...
Plus if Innes got in, Xander Mobus would simultaneously voice him, the announcer, and Joker.
IKR? Like, instead of recognizing your own faults, isn't it easier to blame the lag and say the opponent was hacking?
the matches you do, the stronger the data. you have more chances to play against strong players the more you play. 10 matches is a super small sample. I would honestly recommend a higher number like 70 or 100, but nobody is gonna spend that much time, especially with lag causing some matches to be ambiguous.
I mean Zelda had brown hair in one of her incarnations and Link had pink hair in LTTP and ditched the iconic tunic in BOTW so I feel a change in hair color wouldn't be out of the question for him. It's a hell of a design challenge though and risks making the fanboys real made, so it's not one I'd blame Nintendo for not doing.
it was sarcasm
I don't know how they would make an archer without them being primarily an archer lol. Which would make them all projectile based spam. I do like the idea...maybe they could have a dagger for close combat. That still wouldn't help with them being based on arrow projectiles.
Or just smack em with the bow or punch em. Like Ike's jab is straight up just a straight jab.
I actually had a partial moveset in mind.
And if i do..this will somehow prove that swordies take no ****ing skill and are advantaged characters with "disjointed" hitboxes thats OK to everyone. I mean imagine a sword character being in street fighter with the same frama data. But in smash bros they have projectiles and a ****ing counter but yet "spacing is difficult" . why does a long range character need a counter? Isnt that a fighter/brawler move? I mean, wtf.
Street Fighter is a game that's built on disjoints.
What street fighter are you even talking about. Falke is not in IV. and in IV, how many swords(poles, whatever) were that game again? Atleast rolento frames were predictable and sucked. They werent lightning fast with a poking range. Rolento if i remember, didnt do much damage either.
It wouldn't prove anything, but it would become evidence for your claim. and the bigger the number, the stronger. and browny points for getting involved in local tournies.
the bold doesn't make sense in response to what I said. two newbies would turn the entire game into a luck-based one where everything has a lack of a skill requirement. But, that's not reality. Reality is playing against a player who has a solid understanding of the game mechanics and his/her character and their MUs, and uses that knowledge to defeat you.
I give up, youre right. Honestly.
I agree with this definition too. Refers to the sword wielding FE characters. Links definitely slide into the category, but their play style with projectiles is so different that they really aren't "swordies"
