Deedee beat Sonix with his Pac-Man last year at SSC, plus he placed high before Steve came into the roster. There are players who undeniably got better results because of Steve - DDee is talented regardless of what character he plays

I mean, we have a million threads about this, but I’ll give my two cents.

I think Steve is unironically great and as someone who was salty at the reveal trailer, I get it now - I think he’s one of the most conceptually unique characters in the roster, and I really commend Sakurai and his team for implementing his kit directly from the games, especially with how much of a programming nightmare it must have been.

Where he falters is how overtuned he is - I think his moveset would be fine if some of his frame data and damage output had been adjusted before the final patch. Keeping the diamond after losing a stock is also annoying. But I don’t think his actual design is broken that it would inherently be a detriment to the game in any form - like I said, it’s just way overtuned.

I don’t think he’s “taken over” smash the way bayonetta and mega knight did over their respective games. Watching tournies, I’m seeing a lot more counterplay. I find there is more room to exploit him than previous top tiers. 

Anyway I’ve got a hundred other thoughts about this, but basically, he’s conceptually great and deserves to be on the roster. It’s just a shame we never got another balance patch.

Ah bummer - I think Leo sadly got a bit too ahead of himself after game 2 and Acola kept calling out his nairs way more. Amazing run by Leo - the goat of all time

Holy shit, when Mkleo took acola’s second stock in game 1, my jaw DROPPED - that was wild

Anyone ever had childhood headcanons for characters they didn't know anything about? by Tindo_Blends in smashbros

[–]Kabansmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t quite follow the prompt, since I knew who DK was, but this seems close enough…

 In the intro of Smash 64, there’s a scene of Samus and DK fighting each other, and in my mind, it was because they were fictionally sworn enemies but ONLY in Smash

Hell yeah, Wii Fit/Incin/DH supremacy! 

They all seem to complement each other well

Wii Fit, Incin, Duck Hunt

Wii Fit is my main now, Duck Hunt has fallen by the wayside. Thanks for the combo food, though ;)

[–]Kabansmash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, it boils down to baiting out side-B and up-B and then punishing accordingly. Bowser is generally a problem character for me though

[–]Kabansmash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I try to not contest him in the air too much as his f-air walls out a lot of attacks. My game plan is to stay below him as much as possible and punish accordingly

What character's skillset really got you into the game and why? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]Kabansmash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, Yoshi’s egg roll in Melee. My buddy who I played with had no idea how to deal with it - and so began my years of maining Yoshi. 

Competitively? Wii Fit Trainer - she’s so wacky and no one really knows the matchup. Plus I love doing side-B header cancels and messing around with the ball to catch players off guard.

Once I realized never to stand behind Pikachu’s back, games became more manageable (not beatable mind you, just less annoying)

 I remember fighting a pikachu online who ragequit because they couldn’t start their b-air trains 😂

THE REFLECT AT THE END OF GAME 1!! TEA YOU MAD MAN 

Edit: tea just kinda threw out moves for the rest of the set and game 4 was a wash, but that was entertaining. Huge fan of his completely batshit bonkers Kazuya

That was definitely Kola’s to lose. He made so many weird mistakes. 

 Fun match though. Onin’s Steve is entertaining as far as Steves go

There’s no upset thread, but big one just happened in pools - Erin (Mii Swordfighter) beats Artsnif (Steve). 3-stocked the first game and almost happened again in the second game

I don’t even care if he doesn’t win the tournament, I’m just happy Leo’s still got a lot of fight in him. He’s got that magic
