Lots of characters have good movesets, so its hard to say the Best™, but heres a few good ones: :ultlink::ulttoonlink:: both of these Links represent their respective games quite well, with a few nods to older games. Notably, the aerials that reference Zelda II. Anytime a characters A-moves...

Has anyone taken a look at this video yet? has very high quality footage, could maybe be used to get frame data. I don't think i've seen this much Ryu gameplay in this level of quality before this.

Idk if anyone has noticed this yet... but it appears that hazardless town and city has stationary platforms: Seems some classically legal stages will need to have hazards on in order to have their old behavior.

Moonside (Earthbound) This stage is based off of the Moonside dream (?) sequence from Earthbound. Like in the game, the level would appear as a city made of neon-light style outlines on a black background. The stage is made up of 3 main platforms, pictured above, which take the shape of...

Remember, with many more stages potentially viable, we can afford to be a little more picky with our stage selections. i could see transforming prism tower, tilting lylat cruse, hazardless, transforming halberd, and maybe even windy dream land all getting banned just because there are plenty of...

With Pichu returning for Smash Ultimate for the first time since Melee, we now have 2 out of the 3 Pikachu-line Pokemon in the game. Why not complete the trio by bringing in Raichu. But not just any ol' Raichu, no, I'm talking the lighting-surfing, magical beach bro that is Alolan Forme Raichu...

I wouldnt mind pichu being a joke character, but if he is i just hope hes the unquestioned bottom of the tier list. Joke characters like that only work if theyre bad enough that winning anything with them is truely an accomplishment. Also because if pichu is bad and anyone is worse then pichu id...

Any info on if you can still act out of pkt2->wallbounce?

and olimar totally fights, he has an unconventional style for sure as a commander rather than a brawler, but his pikmin special moves incorporate it. OTOH, forgot spacies and sheik, who dont really fight in their games. (unless you count hyrule warriors, the non canon spinoff made by a 3rd party...

2 thoughts: His claw slash effects look super cool. really distinguishes him from Foxco. My only wish is that they would do more to visually distinguish Fox and Falco from each other as well. Directional air-dodges buff recoveries equally across the board, but because characters with better...

Young Link vs Toon Link differences that i've noticed: Toon Link is shorter, mainly shorter legs (which may impact hitboxes) and seems to be floatier. Young Link will most likely be between Link and Toon Link's weight and fall speed. Young Link has Link's classic throws, as opposed to Toon...

if you look at ness's character trailer on the official site, you'll see that when he uses his Up special, a small arrow symbol appears next to him that seems to point in the direction that ness will fly if he hits himself with Pk thunders current angle. presumably lucas will have this as well...

if its true that she sends characters downwards thats at least a small improvement over peach.

Ok i wanted to base this on actual data a little, because a lot of ppl are throwing out numbers without really explaining why they picked them. Now, all we really have to look at are the historical numbers for newcomers, which while useful arent a surefire thing. keep in mind, this game seems to...

This thread has a lot of moping over similarities and not a lot of talk about the actual differences between the two characters. I guess we don't know much yet, but did anyone get a confirm on the different side B knockback? I'm guessing that daisy will be pretty similar in style to dark pit as...
