I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS COMPLETELY. I DON'T BLAME YOU, LUCAS WAS MY MAIN IN BRAWL WHEN I WAS A WEE TAD BOY AND NOW HE'S BACK AND AHHHHH

DEFINITELY GONNA ATTEMPT MAINING HIM

 

[FullMoon]

So yeah guys, balance patch is coming.

Brace yourselves for there might be nerfs.

With a very slight possibility of buffs.

 

[KERO]

Sorry about my absence! School got really busy, so I haven't been able to concentrate as much. Fortunately, I did complete a new chart!

Here it is!

Why is Fox bolded when Jigglypuff is the one who dies the earliest?

Also hey! I missed you man!

 

[Kite0692]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO THOSE PROFILE PICSSS

IM DYINGGGGGGGGGGGG

 

[KERO]

Fixed that small error. Noticed it while I was updated the kill thread, but thanks for pointing it out =D

Glad to be back. I'm definitely gonna try to be more active now that school has calmed down a bit.

In other news, I picked up Falcon as a secondary. However, I'm still as dedicated to the frog as ever!

 

[MunsterMash]

Sakurai is fully aware of there being an issue with Diddy, the only reason I might see him not getting nerfed is because Sakurai doesn't give a rats ass about competitive. I do hope he buffs other low tiers, and one more thing, LUCAS BETTER BE BROKEN AS **** OR IMMA FLIP ****

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Now the true speculation begins... How will Greninja get nerfed again?

Please...no more nerfs. ;-;

Calling it, running SS removed in the patch for Wii U

 

[KERO]

Right before my hiatus, I remember hearing about Greninja losing his running SS in the most recent 3DS patch.

I can see Sakurai adding like, ten frames of lag to Usmash start-up and reducing its hitbox size further, giving us more shuri start-up, and taking away one of our pumps since Greninja's recovery is too good. Uair will be changed so that every hurtbox sends the opponent slightly upward. Finally, Sub will no longer KO.

Seriously, though. If they touch Greninja outside of SS stuff, I really hope they fix hit 5 of his Uair at the very least. Maybe give us a little less end lag on shuri, too?

You forgot "All moves do a maximum of 3%

 

[FullMoon]

I myself don't think Greninja will be touched other than possible removal of SS tech.

I'm prepared for nerfs though.

 

[Spirst]

I'd be prepared for nerfs because of past history but I myself don't think Greninja will be touched. I think he'll probably be left as is since he's seldom heard about anymore.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

When Greninja becomes a Veteran I think we need a "history of Grenerfja" thing

 

[Jaguar360]

Now the true speculation begins... How will Greninja get nerfed again?

Bad Mewtwo matchup? (I don't see that happening though. Mewtwo looks like U-smash bait )

Sakurai: Nerf USmash to only do 2% per hit!

[Oblivion129]

What if Sakurai visits youtube and stuff, and he thinks all the people saying "nerf Greninja" are serious? Oh man.

He isn't THAT out of touch with the fans!

confirmed

 

[FullMoon]

Though, if they don't do anything to Greninja but nerf Sheik, Diddy and Sonic, that's pretty much an indirect buff to Greninja since that would make his hard MUs easier.

I can see Greninja becoming top tier if Sheik, Diddy and Sonic are nerfed.

 

[Eddy]

yeah any significant nerf to the top tiers is good for us i see him as high tier atm

More good footage from @PHaZeX3R0

 

[MunsterMash]

Also for anyone here that is interested in maining Lucas I would like to make a Lucas social/discussion thread a little closer to his launch (sometime around May) so we can analyze the trailer and once he releases we'll be able to discuss tech/strategy/combos/etc. Anyone that wants to help out with the thread can just reply to me on this thread or pm!

Oh, you're from Brazil? Maybe we won't lag much online. We could try it some time.

Maybe -shrug-

Also PHaZe's Greninja is certainly gutsy. I would never try to do this many offstage dairs

I still need to learn to consistently do the Up-Air Spike...

 

[Makani]

This Greninja amiibo fiasco is an absolute travesty... I should've figured this was going to happen.

Same. I want one so badly but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

It's not happening.

 

[Dark Dire Wolf]

I read about the upcoming character balance and there goes our ninja .

Pre-orders already sold out?

 

[Gunla]

Pre-orders already sold out?

Greninja was stated to be up on 7-9 AM EST... he went up at 2 AM. He sold out in 20-30 minutes. And, in addition, TRU appears to not have any in-store preorders.
