    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    There are a couple things I've been wanting to ask this thread about lately: -:ultlucas: Since the first month of this game I've been sort of vaguely convinced that Lucas is the worst character in the game or bottom ten at best. Lucas is one of the characters I've played against the most...

    To add on to the Pika discussion, top Peach players actually consider Pikachu a losing MU or even (Samsora and Muteace consider it -1, LingLing thinks it's even) because "what if Pika just camps." This makes no sense to me at all, because float obliterates tjolt camping. Look at this set as an...

    Here's quiK's 7.0 MU chart for Samus. He only included characters he feel like he has enough experience against. Biggest surprises for me here are G&W at even (rather than losing) and Mario and Ness in losing, since these all run contrary to how I felt the MUs went in Smash 4--but I don't...

    Real talk, why is CEO Dreamland still being held? Seems pretty irresponsible.

    I was planning on making a post about how little faith I have in any "widely regarded" top 4/10/20/whatever, especially after Frostbite, but it seems like that conversation already started, so here are several characters who I think go under the radar and are probably way better than they're...

    Yes, I remembered this after I posted that the other day. It was a bad MU in Smash 4 as well. She gets out advantaged hard by gnw, out ledge trapped, edge guarded, juggled, everything. Samus's advantage state is great, but gnw's is just unbelievable. Zair is probably her strongest point in the MU.

    Based on Smash 4, I really like Samus vs projectile and sword characters (except maybe DHD and Pacman since their item projectiles clank with CS). She's also a super comfortable pick vs players of a lower skill level--CS makes people play badly and she has a simple and very effective flowchart...

    I dropped Samus when Ultimate came out because I felt like they nerfed her midrange game in exchange for OPd CS, and I enjoyed her mostly for her midrange game--ftilt had its range reduced, zair had its hitbox nerfed and no longer combos into dash attack, dash attack got nerfed, etc. I play...

    The move that stands out to me most as far as Byleth's ledge trapping goes is up air. It's a great option (high kb, relatively low commitment) for covering a generally strong ledge option. Besides this I don't agree that Byleth's ledge trapping is top tier or close to it. He's got some very...

    If they hit the other side of your shield then you b reverse the up b. Safety on whiff I mentioned in my post above--you can basically always guarantee an oos option will hit before you use it just through experience (especially with a frame 3 one).

    Both are nonfactors as far as its use out of shield. With an oos option like this you use it when it's guaranteed to hit--theres no reason to be whiffing an oos option if you're familiar with the game (especially for one that's frame 3)--so safety of an oos option on whiff isn't a consideration...

    No, Doc's up b oos is definitely better than Gnw's Both frame 3 but Doc's is killing you (early).

    Here are a couple of thoughts I have on the update along with a few things I wanted to say about some characters a few weeks ago: :ultsheik: Sheik's landing lag buff on needles is probably the most significant buff this patch that won't receive much attention (initially, at least). To explain...

    Unfortunately for Pit's jab, it's one of the moves that received a pretty significant range nerf between games (along with Samus' ftilt, a much worse nerf, and PIt's fsmash for that matter), it went from a pretty interesting midranged option (same range as Marth's jab in Smash 4 iirc--another...
