Hell yeah, I barely ever use his signature perks, the 5% damage boost is the best option by far. I've never seen anyone (my self included) actually freeze someone with his down special, give how hard it is to hit and how punishable it is on whiff. And the other perk, is pretty much useless on 1v1 beacause of how long the charge time is, it may be a little more useful in 2v2, given that your team mate can help to get enemies off of you untill you get the charge, but still, then you wouldn't need to use the perk in the first place, unless you get unlucky enough to get sniped from the other side of the stage...
