When at a deficit, playing lame and stalling ISN'T a bad strategy. People like to think I'm being an ass if I start stalling, but I do it because it helps wear down my opponent's mental stamina and lets me figure out my opponent's habits. I've made many comebacks doing this
Idk how many other foxes do this but you can do fair to shine from a dtilt at ledge and gimp a lot of poor recoveries. It’s pretty strong in a lot of matchups
I just wanna say if you’re someone that is still cool during friendlies when you’re getting beat pretty bad and also don’t just leave after a few games because you’re losing, I appreciate you and you’re gonna improve a lot faster than the people that just complain and leave
Mute’s bracket was really Steve>Steve>kazuya>Steve>Steve and then if he beat acola he would’ve had to play 2 more sets vs Steve to win… yeah this game is in a great spot rn lmaoo

If you really dissect the character design, Sonic at his core is an aggressive rushdown character. When met with an opponent that plays aggressively, the match WILL GO BY QUICKLY. The only thing that forces time-outs is when the opponent decides to camp. Sonic is never the camper
“ROB has insane pressure with a -3 nair and frame 3 dtilt that’s -5 and combos, along with amazing zoning, top 3 edgeguarding in the game, death combos that work on the whole cast, heavy weight and amazing recovery, but he’s big so he’s only top 25 I swear”
Remember when this weapon did less damage and had worse ink efficiency and worse strafe speed and cooler duration was worse and was negated by RP and you couldn’t throw cooler or grab it from far away so you couldn’t safely give it to your frontlines and crab was meta and
I think it’s so funny that Ult players have convinced themselves that fox has to work so much harder than other characters. Everyone thinks we’re geniuses for shit like tomahawk grabs as if he doesn’t just force guessing games by existing
Myran: olimar is the best character in the game. I really don’t think he loses any matchups. His tools are absolutely absurd
Also Myran: why the fuck would they nerf olimar? He isn’t even broken just learn the matchup. I really don’t understand why they’d nerf him wtf
*tweek uses Roy for literally one opponent*
Everyone: Yo chroy is top tier! Easy top 10!
*light gets top 5 at every single event except for pound*
Also everyone: Fox just doesn’t have the tools to be top tier and light is the only player getting results with him
Snake main: *places c4 on a place that’s hard to see*
Opponent: *goes near it because they can’t see it*
Snake: “THERE”
Opponent: *dies at 90*
Snake main: “ugh my mind. I’m such a genius. Holy shit I’m so good at this game. My B buttons are unrivaled by your puny brain”
Every time I do this on my stream, someone in my chat says that they didn't know this was possible so I figured I would share lol. This map mode is still terrible but knowing this exists honestly makes it feel a lot more playable at least
Remember the last time a character could push down b and become the most mobile character in the game while also having big disjoints, broken combos, frame traps, broken advantage state and kill power, but was underrated on release because of a gimpable recovery 🤠
The devs really looked at fox’s up air and said “that doesn’t do enough damage. Let’s bump that shit up to 19%” and then looked at sheik and said “woah calm down, a forward air that does 5% is a little too crazy”
One of the most common counterplays to minecart is to roll in after you shield it so you don’t get grabbed and since Steve keeps his momentum when he jumps out neutral just reset, but he can b reverse his momentum with cart-less side b to continue pressure
I get so annoyed when I see someone call fox combo food in Ult when he’s straight one of the hardest characters to combo for so much of the cast and he pretty much doesn’t have any combos on him that are like “fox specific”
People posting impractical, minecart counterplay with terrible r&r trying to explain how the unreactable, armored, kill move, combo starter, recovery move, projectile command grab is actually really overrated because you aren’t doing said impractical counterplay
We gotta stop letting people get away with this. If someones down a lot and they’re stalling then sit on the other side of the stage and let them time themselves out. It might be boring but I’d rather be bored than see them think they’re geniuses for boring their opponents lol
Kazuya should lose rage drive if he misses it or it should at least be easier to knock out of him. Why does he get like 4-5 chances or you have to do 40-50% (at percents where you can’t combo him at) to get rid of that shit
I made these lists so I had a quick way to reference neutral getup timings and getup attack safeties and I figured I'd share in case anybody wants something easy to reference too
I think Steve’s should start abusing crafting table like this more. If you’re anticipating someone falling on you with an aerial, it will typically hit your shield and then the table, and then the hitlag from the table makes it less safe so you can get better punishes
Crazy to me that sheik’s fair in smash 4 was considered broken and lagless and it only had 10 frames of landing lag which is just extremely average for an aerial in ultimate. And now we have worse shields and worse movement to try and deal with it
I knew pro's strafe speed was bad, but I didn't realize that even with max RSU, it's strafe speed is still signifcantly slower than squeezer's base strafe speed wtf
Okay fr, what is it gonna take to convince everyone that sheik is actually pretty fucking good? Top 3 neutral, top 3 recovery, an insane amount of kill confirms that can also kill pretty fuckin early etc like wtf would actually satisfy you guys lmaoo
We didn’t “think” it was dogshit it WAS dogshit. This weap got buffed either directly or indirectly like every single patch for a year lmao if nova were to get significant buffs every patch then that weap would eventually be broken too
Hot take but I hear so many people say everyone would think marth is better if Lucina didn’t exist, but if Lucina didn’t exist y’all would see how shitty marth actually is instead of being blinded by “he’s in the same tier as Lucina but he’s just harder!”
I swear kazuya players love telling people cute little ways to beat his moves cuz they don’t want people to play the floor is lava vs him like you’re supposed to lol. I’m done ever interacting with kazuya unless I absolutely have to because the RnR is literally never worth it
