A2 gets a lot of flak over his opinions on Mario, but I honestly learned a lot of useful things about characters I like from him, like dthrow>nado for MK waaaaay back before anyone else was doing it, and runoff dair for Rosalina
Larry just says things. He lives up to his name, at least.
Yeah, that sounds about right. There are a few other things that I think he's wrong about, such as Zelda being not bad (not sure if he thinks she's GOOD but I know he doesn't feel that she's bottom tier), that Samus would be broken with a good jab (this is mainly because he feels Charge Shot would combo from jab, and it might, not sure), and his opinion of Ganon in Smash 4 (It's a little inflated but he's much better than in Brawl), but like I said, he's observant. Remember, he's the one that discovered (or at least was the first to bring to the public eye) Bucket Braking and Doc's passive damage multiplier. I agree with him that Bowser is actually a contender for the worst character in Brawl (at least in practice, theoretical grab release stuff would make him higher), that Ganon and Marth have the scariest edgeguarding, and that Falco has great damage per hit. I'm inclined to take him more seriously now that he actually has the game instead of just making declarations based on videos.
Just don't ask for his opinion on Mario.
