I think it's bayo's power and what fighting/watching her entails. Sm4sh has had its share of characters that were clearly at the top for some time, and it still has a bunch of infuriating things. Hoo hah Diddy, release version Sheik, Rosalina still being able to kill you at stupid %s with...

Pac-Man is fine with getting the fruit, and the arts don't really force him to approach. I'm assuming we're talking about dtilt or nair bullets? If the bayo commits to the dtilt bullets, I would SH fruit charge to get ~3 levels of fruit and probably avoid damage. For nair arts, I'd probably...

Along with what Aaron said, let's do some closer analysis of what happened when Shuton held the fruit for extended periods of time. I think Tea could've handled the threat better in each case too, but let's not get bogged down in that. I saw 3 instances of extended fruit camping, on FD, BF...

I agree with you, but I feel like playing DA a bit. How do you feel about how Melee enforces the freeze glitch ban? It basically says "Using squall hammer with the leading climber right after the partner grabs is banned". Brawl did the same thing with MK's infinite dimensional cape. Could we...

I've been using Ruben's calculator (http://rubendal.github.io/Sm4sh-Calculator/) pretty extensively to lab combos, but I've run into an odd situation. The calculator tells me Mario should enter tumble from his own Fthrow at 13%, but in game he went into tumble at ~10%. My first though was that...

Why are you losing? Do you know why? What exactly about losing scares you? To me, a loss is clear indication that there is something in my game I still need to work on. Of course, this is likely still the case even when I win, but a loss makes it obvious that said issue is critical and...

For Falcon, idk. He has 2 aerials that do 10%+ with good reach and have low landing lag, so he should be safe from even shield drop punishes while he's wrecking your shield. He is also has a command grab. It's arguably reactable, but it's still there so you can't sit on a platform with full...

If two moves that would apply different shield stuns hit your shield at the same time, what happens? Do you take the lesser blockstun? Greater? Combination of both?

If Nairo mained Zelda exclusively and (somehow) got the same exact results that he does now, why wouldn't we put Zelda as high / top tier? In theory (what we think), Zelda's bad, but if what actually is happening contradicts that, who's wrong? The game or us? "X makes "character" look better...

My buddies in Pac-Man discord say Ginko was 1 win away from top 32 with :4pacman: in bracket. He used :4mewtwo: in pools, but idk how much. Still, a good result for a character still believed to be a non-threat. Props to the Macs though, they went in.

Along with everything Aaron said, I think Pac-Man doesn't have enough top level representation and his playstyle is a bit of a turnoff. For the first point, Sinji is all he really has atm as far as top player in the U.S. goes. He could use more. For the second, Pac-Man is super tedious to...

Does getting hit interfere with dropping through platforms in any way? IE you get hit by some light attack that doesn't put you into tumble, then you immediately try to drop through a platform. Edit: no it doesn't, but apparently you can't buffer platform drops. If you try to out of hitstun...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GaDXAPQJlz0AiIYSSOWFwy_dg04Rrq4a-YF9-VDOhZI/edit#gid=1478544066 Any character with an aerial or two that's + on drop. It's even better if you have a good OOS game that can punish Sonic for touching your shield...
