6/1.3/2.2 is not horrible from top lane. I'd like to think it's pretty good :(

also they're old. I quit awhile ago during the ryze meta. Being forced to play only Ryze and Irelia was really frustrating especially because the game was hyper ADC centric so climbing back to diamond (I decayed) was proving to be impossible despite clearly being out of place in plat.

anyways ryze irelia was pretty dumb, but I hated Maokai more. Which is still going even into preseason, he just has gnar with him now over irelia.

Lucario's grab range seems pretty insane so I just abuse that against people who sit in shield.

Also one of our best kill options beats shield, so there's that.

We also seem to get a bit more distance with a boost grab. I'm not sure what inputs they are exactly for this game, but I just hit the same buttons like how boost grabs work in Brawl.

How do we fight Sonic? I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to beat Sonics that fake out until they can shield poke with their spin combos. Part of me wants to roll towards him, but I do not want to get into roll habits again.

Due to not having lingering hitboxes, this matchup is all about reactions. When Sonic spin dashes, our short hop dair will beat it. Basically our most used moves in this matchup are Aura Sphere, Short hop dair, and pivot grabs.

Hello you adorable little kitty cats.

I might look like a Bowser main (because that's what I am), but Lucy was my definitive secondary in Brawl and is evolving into the same role in Sm4sh. I'm gonna lurk this subforum now and potentially whine about MUs I can't deal with. Ten more days until that sweet-ass Amiibocario arrives \o/

Thats what i thought, which is why i was a bit confused, lol.
For once europe doesn't get the **** end of the stick. OR the 'official' release dates at amazon for my country are lies. The latter seems more likely the more I think about it...

Dang, nice Pivot F-smash. Although, he probably couldve lived if he DI'd upwards, that was still cool. Wouldn't mind fighting u with my Shulk sometime, even though im pretty sure you'd probably take me down. : 3

man wifi just doesn't feel the same after a tournament lol
ikr, atleast the wifi is much better in this compared to brawl


Got hit on the head very hard by some lunatic, then it happened again when we all thought he was going to recover.
Steam had to go to the hospital and there's no positive signs he'll ever recover the brain damage

SH DAir seems really unsafe on shield and if you do it right above the ground you may just trade.

Kami or Steam do you guys have any serious advice for this MU?

I dont have exp trying it against sonics spindash so idk the specifics of what pitbull is talking about it but im sure hes right, will have to try it in that mu sometimes. I really know nothing about this mu other than AS is key since it stops all of sonics B moves past 80ish %.

but in general dair is extremely unsafe on shield AND EVEN ON HIT IF ONLY 1 HIT LANDS. Trash move. I think it's safe if you do it when they aren't facing you on shield at least

Our dair beats out the spin dash (don't ask me if it's side b or down b). I was doing it consistently to Sonic players a few weeks ago. You have to space the short hop so that the second hit will hit. The only time it failed was when I was too slow on the reaction.

You could let yourself get stomped a bit and then space with FP, like usual.
Sonic is so fast he can probably run and grab you out of FP until maybe 150-160%ish.

I feel we probably have a few things we can do to him as the meta develops, but it feels like I'm a cat trying to jump at a toy that's out of reach.

Ideas for dealing with Sonic really flat lines with me other than just being patient beyond normal levels. There is no one else that makes me sit and wait to pounce as much as him.

Suffering from "I want to hurt him now" syndrome does not help me either.

sonic is really obnoxious. but high% aurasphere kinda bodies him. I dunno a whole lot about the matchup because my region is lacking in sonics atm.
