He looks strong for sure. the sheer amount of utility he has is scary. Sword + Range Attack (that can also dodge?), Damage Reduction/Omni-Counter, can grapple people towards him, fast movement... He's looking high tier minimum just from what he has access to on paper. The key factor on him will...

I appreciate Zelda :ultzelda: at least being listed as a neutral matchup. But between Nayrus "get-off-me"/reflection and her own zoning options that bypass or neutralize his, I'd say she may have a slight advantage over Snake... not to mention if they clash in CQC Zelda will usually win-out...

Okay okay, I know Kirby's not great but he's not THAT bad... *shifty eyes* though no one else seems to be jumping to his defense... He's got um.... He kinda has... Well his FEET have really..... Alright, Kirby isn't that strong in any obvious manner but he has a lot of little advantages here...

This is clearly a thing. And not just for top players, but you see this effect on above average enthusiasts (such as people on these forums) as well; myself included. It happens with every smash game. I've played Smash since the 64 version came out, then got really good at Melee, and bit it hard...

Pits are boilerplate. The issue with them is exactly what everyone else has stated here: They're... kinda boring. Which may be a bit blunt, but all of their moves are really... balanced... There's nothing that stands out as exceptional and nothing that is unusable. I've seen others describe...

It's encouraging to hear such analysis about a character that most care little for. Mostly the conversation just revolves around the Top picks in this thread... I agree that Luma needs a buff. He dies way too easily. I'm sure Nintendo is being very cautious about it since OG RosaLuma in Smash...

I'll throw out some candidates for the bottom of the barrel... though these are my personal impressions. Because I have not the time to research frame data and tournament results to form a more objective viewpoint on it. Also, figuring out who the worst is may be harder than determining top...

I'm super late to the post about the Ness matchups (and I too, make this post cautiously, also wanting to avoid Ness consuming the thread) But I'm just slightly irked at Zelda getting the shaft again and being seen as a +1 match-up. He's either equal or more likely -1 against Zelda in my...

I'd like to build my own castle wall right now on Zelda. I feel like people still have Smash 4 goggles on for her and look down on her a bit too much. I'm not saying she's top tier, or even high tier, I'm not delusional, (maybe close..) but she's got a good kit and strengths that can let her...

"Potential" is a word filled with the hope of players who want the character they enjoy playing to be considered top tier so they can feel like a great player who picked the right fighter. And so convoluted strings and long yarns about numbers and the nuances of every move are broken down...

Holy cow, people waxing poetic epics on Mewtwo... I'll steer clear. Not very versed in the character. I would like to toss :ultmetaknight: Meta Knight out into the pool of potential topics. It wasn't TOO long ago that people were tossing him up into High Tier given his speed, off-stage...

I'll let more informed minds discuss Olimar, but... Peeps don't like zoners for basically the exact reason you stated. "If all my opponents have the same playstyle, then I only have to learn one way to play." Most of the characters at the top are rush down and get in your face... usually...

Thank you for adding greater context around it. A majority of what I'd heard, and was repeating, was before the most recent tournaments. "Poor showings" may have been a bit crass of a term for me to toss out so casually. To put it more thoughtfully, Inkling has the potential and presence of a...

Palu was regarded as low tier in the beginning. Definitely not someone who could do it all. It wasn't until around the new year I think that people stopped looking at her through Smash 4 goggles (Zelda still suffers from this) and acknowledged her changes and potential and then threw her into...

Right, which are some of the grumblings I've heard concerning Inkling. But Palu was also attached to the comment and I'm curious why because I've heard nothing but good things.
