Feels like it's just taking a long time for it to sink in that the hang-ups heavies have had to deal with regarding mobility and attack fluidity have been largely mitigated, making them vastly better without huge changes to their moves or relying on gimmicks. It's why K. Rool is perhaps getting more competitive hype than is warranted at this stage; the idea that the other heavies can be good with their current movesets seems outlandish to most.
I'm looking forward to taking advantage of Bowser being underrated once I start going to tournaments.
Yeah, KKR has a different set of strengths than other heavies and he plays very, VERY differently as a result, but that doesn't mean other heavies aren't going to do well.
If there's anything we've learned from SSB history, it's that there's no point in gauging anything until the combos have been optimized.
Yeah I know, I've seen it long enough to know not to pay too much attention to that. They just say stuff and then shrug it off when they see they were wrong but no harm done, just surprised they can't see Bowser's potential from all that.
For some reason I'm having a really hard time pulling off Bairs too tbh.
EE saying that Bowser is so good gave me POWER
Bayo mains on discord says that she has bearly any safe options now except for her smash attacks. Her up aerial sends people horizontally instead of vertically, she has a hard time killing, and the team made sure that Bayo didn't benefit at all from the new mechanics in this game.
DAirdoging is only effective for recovering if you're already really close to the ledge. But from my own personal experience from playing the last 3 days, Bowser's up B seems to be quite adequate for recovering with. It's pretty fast at frame 6, and unlike in 4 where you would get punished for hitting someone with it, you knock them far away even at low % so it's pretty safe if they try to challenge it. That and the fact that the landing lag is now only 36 frames (Only 1 more than Bowser's dair), you can afford to recover high as a mix up option if your opponents try to chase you offstage.
Jab 1 -> Side B works on everyone if they don't mash a fast jab or spot dodge/roll away. I've been following up Jab 1 on shield with Side B as an occasional mixup. Jab 1 -> Up B is another option to cover rolls/spot dodges.
Wtf is a tomahawk in Smash ?
Instead of throwing out an aerial, you jump in front of their shield and grab them. It was way too predictable in smash 4, because of the slower jump (and worse air movement if i'm not mistaken).
I've been playing elite smash 1v1's for the last few days. I was going fairly even with most characters, though I got wrecked by Zelda every time I fought her.
