I couldn't agree more with your general post, but Palu shouldn't be grouped together with Zelda IMO. I feel like TLTC and PrinceRamen gave me an idea of how much potential the character has. I don't think it's just because they're character specialists, either. I've tried breaking it down. Palu...

I can see those two match ups being pretty annoying for her. Her fair isn't as reliable because it can trade with Ryu's, so she has to set the pace of the match moreso with needles. I would say Mario fares pretty well too, now.

Realistically, even with the patches, who does Sheik lose to? All of her match-ups are still really good. I don't think she's a definitive best but can also contest with Bayo for best character. (Rosa is not top 3)

I don't think Ryu should've represented 4th/top of A tier. I think his MU spread isn't that consistent. Although he fares well against everyone, he has problems against characters that camp him (Yoshi, TL, Villager, etc.) Metaknight would've been better suited to represent fourth, IMO.

20: Sheik, ZSS 19: Pikachu, Fox, Mario, Sonic, Cloud, Ryu, 18: Meta Knight, Villager, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Ness 17: Bowser, DK, Luigi, Toon Link, 16: Peach, Captain Falcon, Ike, Yoshi, Falco, Dark Pit, Pit 15: ROB, Greninja, Kirby, Lucas, Mii Brawler, Marth, Lucina, Olimar, Pac-Man, Wario 14...

Yeah, kinda takes away from the aspect of outplaying your opponent.

I mean... if you can make it a habit to only look off of throws then it wouldn't necessarily opening yourself up to punishment.

I think either Ally or MVD used to look at their opponent's controller back in Brawl, whenever they got a d-throw with Snake. They'd try to peek to see which wake-up option you'd do.

Manuals still don't come naturally to me, but we'll see. I can't say for sure.

You're not considering three things which I feel make Mario better than Pit. Pit has an ALRIGHT kill throw, it mostly works around ledges but so does Mario's back throw. That said, both characters have a potential kill off of grabs. you're certainly justified in your comparison of frame data...

It is what it is, his throws have never really done much damage in ANY iteration of smash. He has true combos at low percents, and 50-50s at mid percents, and a kill throw at higher percents. I think it's fine. As Ive stated before, getting grabs will reward stage control. Marths ledge trapping...

thank you for your kind words, I cherish those kind of sentiments. ^///^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

hmmm... if you pressure someone into turtling, why would you continue to hack away at their shield when they could probably jump/roll to diffuse shield pressure? there are few true blockstrings in this game. Nairo is really good at smelling shields and going for grabs, even before he mained ZSS...

although you get great reward off of landing ZSS grab, it's by no means an thing to land in higher levels of play... on whiff it's terrible, making risk/reward something to consider. as opposed to DK whirlwinding everything.. there's a gray area, because I think there are plenty of characters...
