On a side note, notice how I completely left out Mario's cape? That's because in reality it's just a gimmick that won't do **** to a seasoned player. =\
Lmao, a gimmick? Won't do **** to a seasoned player?
First of all, gimping's only like...25% of what makes cape so epic. Therefore, even if this particular generalization were even partially true, it wouldn't apply to the rest of cape's uses.
For example, the simplest of all uses is the ability to reflect projectiles. Not only does this prevent him from being camped, but it allows him to effectively camp back with his own projectile.
It's also an enormous disjointed hitbox that practically beats any
jointed attack. For example, try to cape Snake's Ftilt. Even if you just tap his finger, his entire body turns around and allows for you to punish.
The physics alone of the attack are insane and untapped. Dancing blade is good, but it has one application. Attacking. Maybe refreshing stale moves. Good OOS option.
Kay, that's great. Mario's gimps, reflects projectiles AND does all 3 (not good OOS, but making a point).
