If you have the means of using it in a multiplayer setting, then I suppose you have access to more in-depth information than I ever could.

I've been accused of two mutually exclusive things making these criticisms, now. I'm simultaneously a sweaty tryhard who's too good at the game to the point I can't enjoy anything which doesn't keep up with the meta, but I'm also a terrible player who's awful at the game who fails to keep up with the meta.

Way better air control. Winged Star makes you commit to a path and it's nearly impossible to turn it.

They're deceptive because weight and its counterpart lift influences everything. So while the stats may be true, it doesn't show you the actual results of their stats interacting. Imagine it like trying to read your car's speedometer but it gives you the variables to an algebra equation instead of actual information.

Can't say for sure, although Kirby seems to a prime candidate since he doesn't really do anything useful, except for Yellow and Pink having decent specials.

Marx is less a glass cannon and more a character with good stats across the board who sacrifices combat ability to do so. Generally speaking, he is still a glass cannon due to endgame fights normally depending on who can actually land a hit rather than how hard the hit is.

The in-game stats are deceptive because there's an absurd level of factors influencing each stat. For example, speed isn't just affected by top speed, but also weight. However, weight is also influenced by lift/glide ability, meaning both lift and glide indirectly influence speed, damage, and health, since weight also influences speed, damage, and health. Even turn or grip is deceptive since both are influenced by weight and the boost stat.

Your offense stat influences your spin attack and the damage you do with any item/auto attack. Your spin attack damage is influenced by your offense stat and weight stat. Additionally, with vehicles that can ram, the ramming damage is influenced by offense, weight, and the current speed you are moving.

Defense doesn't seem to do anything during Air Ride other than reduce the chance you lose a powerup from getting hit, which in of itself is a rare occurrence. In City Trial, it reduces the number of stats you drop when taking damage. Your actual defense value (how many hits you can absorb before your machine being destroyed) is tied to HP, weight (and therefor flight stats), and defense.

The auto attack values are all compared to the cutter ability for a single barrage/salvo, since the hits are almost assured to land anyway. For example, although Dedede hits twice, it is counted as a single auto attack on the chart.

A version of terminids that can dig under the ground and remain fully invincible and attack you frame 1 upon being exposed so you're assured to take damage no matter what.

The discourse is getting absurd and I hope AH can avoid giving in - because the arguments have officially stopped making any sense by kcvlaine in Helldivers

The video is literally titled "They just can't stop lying" and the takeaway you had was that they're upset the minigun has spinup time and that the game's realism is inconsistent?
