Who even is this *****?

Charger Con is basically going to be a giant BTT on a Saturday, so you'll recreate the experience pretty well.

That's a fine list, but I'd get put on blast for replacing Dreamland with Delfino's because I'm "intentionally skewing the stagelist to be good for Ike by adding walls." Yes, this is a real criticism I have been confronted with, lol. And as dumb as it is, its hard to argue with the fact that the...

Ike is better than Roy CONFIRMED

Ok, here goes. I think Ike is the best Fire Emblem character, and the best sword character (besides MK). He's a little slow, sure, but Quickdraw makes up for this in some ways. His neutral isn't completely saved by QD, but his massive disjoint on Nair, Fair, Upair, Ftilt, etc mean he doesn't...

Explain in detail why you think Roy is better than Ike, because I honestly don't see it.

Fair enough. I guess it just seems like there's a consensus from my point of view, since most of Alabama, all of Georgia, and the parts of Tennessee that my scene interacts with are all using NE9 with stage first. I've had no luck convincing people that we should do character first because...

Remind me again why we're moving away from the consensus that NE 9 is the ideal stage list? Is it Dreamland being too extreme? Is it the game 5 exceptions needed for the ban process to not "force" a stage pick? Is it Bowser's Castle having some nuances that require a little adjustment? I don't...

Kirby is Ike's worst matchup, but it's only - 2 so git gud and you'll be fine. Ike's best secondary is probably MK, but he doesn't need one tbh.

Ike's Nair is so good. He's got so much going for him as a character that I really think his strengths more than balance out his weaknesses. Strengths: Longest range in the game on most moves (Dedede's f-tilt is the only move he loses too, move for move) QD movement options, including the only...

I still have this crazy theory that Ike is the best fire emblem character, but he's not developed enough to show it yet. Marth isnt getting any better, but most Ike mains don't use even a fraction of his cool ATs. Quickdraw is amazing and he has the biggest sword in the game, how can he possibly...

Yo, Dirtboy! Congrats on your performance at Frozen Phoenix this weekend. Talk to me about how good Squirtle really is. One of my friends is a great player, but he quit PM a while back because "Squirtle isn't good enough to put time into" and because of salt from getting nerfed. What do you...

I'm still not gud yet, lol. But I'm getting there

That's fair, I suppose. I guess I just really like the stage since it's stupid good for Cloud.

So how do you balance out the smallness of every stage that isn't Battlefield? It's a little janky (I'd argue less so than Castle Siege or Delfino's), but at least it keeps all the stages from being small or medium with one big stage that can just be banned.
