It turns out I am pretty terrible with Banjo! But I am kinda drunk when I play him so it's all ok!

I'm also terrible with him sober but it helps ease the pain :v:

Yeah people shouldn't be valuing Elite Smash to this extent but being in at all is a significant psychological boost that people are reluctant to give up, and a scenario where people are anxious about playing their favorite characters because one or two bad matches will cause them to drop out is less than ideal.

Yup. I feel this hard. I don't play Smash online at all unless its with someone I know despite enjoying it because I don't need the visual of a number plummeting every time my Ridley gets wombo comboed into the shitter

Today I learned that about half of Ridley's attacks and about half of Wolf's harmlessly bounce off each other leading to perfectly symmetrical violence until someone gives up and jumps and punches the other

You mean he jumped a lot and only used aerial drift to move? You would just fight that like a worse Jigglypuff in that case. Bait and punish or use OoS options. Marth/Lucina air attacks are good and swift but they have long end lag and landing lag, more so than Jigglypuff, so there's gaps in their attacks. You'll have a harder time if you don't have a disjoint or projectile, so if you do, rely on those.

One of the big things I notice is that if people only employ the same strategy, there's no reason not to just use the same strategy to counter for it over and over if they don't adapt. If something works and they don't adjust and change, why should you?

Tea vs Nairo right now is pretty nuts. The thing he does where he recovers by using the hydrant to get a small extra jump is crazy to me

Also every confirm he gets off the bell is amazing

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I like the current trend of fighter's pass DLC characters being from different 3rd party companies and generally completely new to Smash. I'd be kind of sad if DLC character No.5 was someone from a series already represented, especially another Mario, FE or Pokémon rep.

After that is fair game though. Add Geno, Edelgard/Byleth and Toxtricity/Obstagoon/Rillaboom then.

I'd prefer to another iconic legendary like Mewtwo for the new gen than yet another starter for a gen. Such as that one boss from Dark Souls that's in the new Pokemon for some reason.

As much as many people are tired of Fire Emblem characters, one of the extra DLC characters is 100% going to be a Three Houses character. The fact that the game never got any Spirit Board events when things like Daemon X Machina, Tetris 99, and Resident Evil (?!?) did is very telling. It's just a matter of who it's going to be, and it's basically a toss-up between Byleth and Edelgard.

They're absolutely coming with a counter since that's a big part of the FE series, and Sakurai said that's how he wanted to represent that. Weapon? Who knows, but it's probably a sword.
