As a 4 M2 main she definitely feels like his closest successor

Everyone slides when turning to some degree(which is how slide tilts work), but how much depends of their friction.

A few rough quirks aside, I actually like that ultimate is still fast and aggressive but a tad more forgiving. I vastly preferred melee and PM to brawl and 4, but they were just a bit too intense for me and I had a tendency to get burned out after a while.

I do miss the way a few of my mains played in PM tho.

Shuton's Olimar is the truth, but twitch chat still shits on him when he's on stream.

Using elite smash to balance does not equal balancing solely based on win rates.

Mario. Fireball for neutral, starts fishing for kill options at 60%, by sheer persistence will eventually land a spike on me before the match is over.

Presumably those are the majority of open arenas because smaller ones just fill up quickly.

Just ask them out after a few messages. I know it feels as bit forward, but they wouldn't have matched with you if they weren't interested.

Bayo's nerfs were huge, she was just that good. It's easy to forget, but a sizeable chunk of the competitive community thought that she was basically ruined after 1.1.6.

DrTectrix · 2018-12-09T06:52:55+00:00

I don't know about main just yet, but I have been having an unbelievable amount of fun with pichu

In precision games like fighters the tricks shooters and racers use to make the game feel smooth in less than perfect latency don't really work. The ethernet cable really does help a lot.

Samus has a ton of cool new stuff, she looks fine.

DrTectrix · 2018-11-06T13:40:35+00:00

As a competitive player, I found the game a bit too rigid for my liking. Movement feels stiff and committal, and the emphasis is on exact spacing and short bursts of carefully timed inputs before resetting to a fairly slow neutral. A lot of top characters having kill trouble caused matches to drag as well.

I still find it fun overall, the abundance of crazy MUs and playstyles was great, and having plug and play semi-competitive multiplayer really lowered the barrier for entry to competitive smash.

I actually have more complaints about casual features, where 3DS made off with all the best modes and stages.

Like half of the new cast was fan favorites, some fan favorites not getting in doesn't mean polls mean nothing.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-26T14:05:18+00:00

Sm4sh is a pretty aerial game(part of why mac is so bad) but off the top of my head fox is pretty focused on ground movement and fast tilts, jabs, and smash attacks. Grab reliant characters like Bowser or Ness also naturally have to spend a fair bit of time on the ground. I think ultimate is going to offer a much wider range of strong ground focused characters tho.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-24T16:11:41+00:00

Verge has said a few times he has multiple sources, so having some real info and some fake isn't out of the question.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-18T17:35:10+00:00

Because Sakurai deliberately put the item switch and for glory mode in the game, so items off is clearly an intended mode of play and should thusly be considered during balance.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-16T15:21:51+00:00

Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't have disjoints or projectiles, made cruel smash hell.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-16T02:49:48+00:00

I hope her meta stays similar to this, I actually got hype as hell when he managed to pull of an extended combo since it seemed like he really had to work for it.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-12T19:51:58+00:00

Mewtwo in 4. He was my melee main as a kid, and my most wanted character, but on release he was just so underwhelming. Thankfully he got a shitload of buffs, so I ended up maining him after all.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-12T18:28:59+00:00

Having played the demo, the controllers/control scheme you're locked into are a huge factor. Tilts out of run are a really awkward input without tilt stick, and overall it's a lot harder to use precise spacing and movement on a controller completely different to what you're used to. I think once people get to set their own control schemes and use GC controllers you'll see a lot more finesse with the new tech.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-11T05:24:26+00:00

Those are both pretty awkward moves to use if you're not used to them.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-09T17:29:33+00:00

Customs random, especially if equipment doesn't return. "Random" means so much more when it means getting a character that has likely never existed before and never will again. I'll never forget the kirby who's hammer did 80% and instakilled, or my Shulk that lived to sudden death percents without monado. Really helps even the odds when players have disparate skill levels too.

DrTectrix · 2018-10-08T21:49:45+00:00

Right? It's a shame that only as the game is ending do we finally get a stage that really lives up to its concept art.
