    Character Competitive Impressions

    Maybe at a theoretical level marth does better, but in the case where Pikachu gets hit by fsmash it's painful. It happens, just like getting wafted or up b staired by Zelda. Pikachu is an offensive oriented character, and having to navigate the entire length of a sword instead of just the tip...

    Character Competitive Impressions

    I actually do think sonic could be kind of bad for MK. It was already a pain in brawl. Having a good low ground, low commitment aerial game and a decent projectile are two helpful traits vs sonic that MK doesnt have. The key here is to punish the moves cool down not start up. Unfortunately...

    Bowser and the Suicide Clause

    Random doesnt mean uncompetitive hypnotoad. I personally wouldnt be entirely against sudden death, but I know the community wouldnt have it at all. In any case, the real point is were all compromising a some point. Its just a matter of degrees.

    Bowser and the Suicide Clause

    Honestly this sounds a bit like denial. There's no result that says draw or indication that sudden death is a minigame, thats just a kind interpretation that side steps the more unpalatable reality that we object to how the game's determined who wins and we've chosen to ignore it. This is...

    Bowser and the Suicide Clause

    The argument against a suicide clause is that it contradicts the result screen. If we're going to weigh the competitive merits of changing the results screen to ignore sudden death, then its fair to do the same for suicide moves. I dont really care either way Im cool with both, but I think...

    Bowser and the Suicide Clause

    Sudden Death provides a very clear winner and loser. How is the result screen based on sudden death inferior while the ones for suicide moves are not?

    Character Competitive Impressions

    The hilarious thing about Quick Attack is that no ones even using it to its full potential. Everyone I know, ESAM included, is more comfortable with tap jump off which greatly hinders its use. Here's an excerpt from a post I finally decided to start writing a few days ago about broken nonsense...

    Bowser and the Suicide Clause

    I think it can at least be agreed that if there is a suicide clause (like them or not theyre popular), bowser should be included.

    Q&A Mechanics & Techniques Discussion

    There was 2 things, I think that accurately describes the first point. 1)You can vary the longer length of your initial dash based on how hard/fast you do the input. I want to say the variation is the range between 3 and 4 pikas. 2) The more important one imo is if you input a quick dash in...

    Q&A Mechanics & Techniques Discussion

    @Shaya @TheReflexWonder You guys can tear this part. This was partly inspired by Reflex's work. This also might be something more useful for pikachu or specific characters but Im not sure yet: Putting out something Ive been using for awhile. This is a movement option along the ground, this...

    Thats not context thats analysis. The stages they played on is not open to interpretation and secondaries used during a set is not open to interpretation. I didnt bother with analysis. Its the reverse. Right before 'since' is an implied reference and restatement of the question. If we add...

    The issue of course is that you do not include relevant result related context while Ive included it. The fact that many of those matches include beneficial counterpicking for stages, etc.; and also the MU inexperience of PP/Armada/Leffen which is less numbers related but relevant in discussing...

    You're being a bit selective with evidence. Winning matches isnt the same as winning a set when you have a counterpick advantage, particularly true when you dont even win the set, lol. You missed the part in red. Honestly I think he was just being polite to Armada, but besides that there's...

    Top level results indicate even at best or a tilt towards fox, but we've already established you have a different perspective of top level Marth/Fox so this is turning redundant. Im honestly extremely surprised personally anyone would believe evidence indicates the MU favors Marth, but I think...
