What newcomer will you struggle against?

[Trambo]

Hey just out of curiosity
What newcomer do you fear fighting the most and why?

I haven't gotten my hands on the game at all but since I'm going to try playing a fair amount of incineroar. I feel like the the inklings are gonna be a rough time for me.

Excited to hear your thoughts

 

[Orlando BCN]

I fear Ken because he’s potentially the most busted newcomer so far, alongside maybe K. Rool. The fact that he’s a faster Ryu means there’s nowhere to hide...

 

[KatKit]

As much as I like it, the Piranha Plant looks deceptive and downright janky. I think it'll be unpredictable to some extent, and hard to hit/approach initially.

 

[nirvanafan]

IDK, kind of hard to tell, maybe inkling

 

[McCree]

Isabelle, she looks sooo cute and I can't concentrate with her on my screen.

 

[Putuk]

Simons reach and projectiles seem like a powerful combination. He's one to watch out for.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

The Belmonts' spacing game seems a bit scary, and Ken looks like the ultimate combo fighter.

 

[Trambo]

Simons reach and projectiles seem like a powerful combination. He's one to watch out for.

For sure and I wonder how hard it will be to get in on a simon with incineroar. I mean he has the lariat but if I miss im unsure how easily punished it can be due to how long it lasts and simons range.

Ken if the player knows street fighter

I don't look forward to the potential camping Isabelles with that fishing rod and

 

[Arthur97]

The Belmonts may be tricky until I get the hang of how they fight. Though, I'm not convinced they will be great after people learn how to fight them.

As for Ken, he may be faster, but I have experience fighting Ryu, most of which should transfer, so there isn't as high of a learning curve.

 

[IsmaR]

From what I've seen, the Belmonts will make me a god-fearing woman. Getting out-projectile'd while also having my projectiles eaten or nullified by an essentially lagless forward tilt/n-air/angled f-air, and/or slid under with down tilt/bounced off of with d-air makes me think I'm not gonna have a fun time getting in.

Plus Richter spamming "TAKE THIS" will get old fast.

 

[Fastblade5035]

Isabelle looks the most concerning to me. Villager gave me a hard time in 4, and Isabelle is everything Villager had but even more irritating.
Ken would be concerning, considering I struggled even harder with Ryu than Villager, but I barely saw Ryu's so I doubt Ken will be common to worry about.

 

[KingOfKazoos]

I have a feeling I'm really not gonna like Young Link or Inkling players

 

[Kevandre]

I think Alpharad's right and that Isabelle is going to be broken. Seeing her fight is... scary... and I think a good Isabelle will be a force to be reckoned with

 

[Grunky Peep]

Inklings don't look very fun to fight against.

 

[Orlando BCN]

I have a feeling I'm really not gonna like Young Link or Inkling players

Young Link isn’t new, but since he’s now much more powerful than in Melee, I’ll take it.

 

[HeavenWolfHD]

The Belmonts by far

 

[Mogisthelioma]

Inklings are going to be annoying. Not top tier, just really ****ing annoying.

 

[Deleted member]

Inklings are fast as hell and they can double nair short hop. They're gonna be hard to deal with

 

[KingOfKazoos]

Young Link isn’t new, but since he’s now much more powerful than in Melee, I’ll take it.

Oh you meant new fighters, mb

 

[zzmorg82]

I’m not sure yet; this will probably be answered for me once the game has been out for a few weeks.

 

[Aetheri]

Hard to say for sure since the game hasn't released yet.

The Belmonts seem like they could be obnoxious to deal with if used properly, Isabelle could potentially be a pain as well. I already dislike fighting against Peach as is so Daisy will probably be just as annoying.

 

[maxistrife]

I think piranha plant is going to be VERY tricky. Small, fast, unorthodox combat style, amazing recovery, potent looking attacks...that thing is gonna get cries for nerfs right out the gate.
