SSBU with characters: [u'Ice Climbers', u'Wario']
I actually think that the Ice Climbers win against Wario. Wario doesn't have a projectile to use besides his Bike, and there's a cooldown period after it blows up until he can use it again. In that time, Wario is forced to approach, which can be hard to do when the Ice Climbers are throwing out Squall Hammer and Ice Shot constantly. Should Wario try and grab one of them, the other can shield and ...
SSBU with characters: [u'Ice Climbers', u'Wario']
As weird as it sounds, I do see it and think that the Ice Climbers win here. The reason why is because Wario doesn't necessarily have the best options to approach, and since he doesn't have a projectile besides his Bike, he has to just go in on them. The problem is, if Wario tries to grab one of them, the other can use Blizzard or Squall Hammer to get out of disadvantage. Not only ...
Big D's Ice Climbers touch of death sequence in the grand finals came out of nowhere and caused an explosion of hype
I loved seeing because a.) Steve is becoming a major nuisance in Ultimate and b.) it shows how much there is to learn with the Ice Climbers, as several big name players got eliminated for not knowing how to combat them. Seeing the Ice Climbers make it to Grand Finals in a Platinum Tier tournament like GOML shows that these characters are likely much stronger than people make them out to be. Sure, when they ...
Lab Coat Android 21 may be the most nerfed fighting game character in recent history but even now she's still probably strong
Although key functionality wasn't changed in this case, Pichu from SSBU is also probably one of the most nerfed characters in the game. It was one of the most played characters in tournaments early on, and many regarded Pichu as being a top tier, some even thinking the best character in the game. I think Pichu may have had like only 3 losing matchups before the nerfs in Peach, Olimar, and Snake. Then Pichu was ...
New Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list based on character peak performances at tournaments since January 2022
This is why tier lists should not be based solely on results. It doesn't fully represent how strong characters are in the meta. It must also include matchup spread, as well as individual character strengths and weaknesses. If tier lists were based solely on results like this, then Pikachu would only be a mid tier while Corrin would be a top tier. Not only that, but tier list placements would be extremely volatile because some ...
Momocon 2022 results
Just a quick note: Zomba (R.O.B.) ranked 17th in the bracket. With that said, very surprising to see only two R.O.B. mains in top 64, and neither of them made it to top 16.
Steve and Mii Brawler are now top 10 characters in ESAM's new tier list for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Yeah, that is a really hot take. Mii Brawler is not even close to being top 10 in the game yet. He lacks the results, and his matchup spread is being overrated in the game by him. Still a good character, but not top 10 material. As for Steve? Maybe, but I still think he's High Tier for now. Also, I've noticed a trend in Zero Suit Samus not being so high up anymore. Her ...
Hungrybox releases his final ordered tier list for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
People keep putting Pyra/Mythra at the top of their tier lists, but something tells me that they will slowly start to slip off into the middle or the lower half of top tier eventually. While there is still a player base for this duo, the biggest names who piloted her have now reduced their usage of them, those being MKLeo and Sparg0 (the former seems to have completely dropped them for Byleth and Corrin, while ...
Best Steve player in the world claims to have released '100% accurate' tier list for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
This tier list is quite bizarre to me. For one, G&W is certainly ranked too low. While his results have begun to fall off, his matchup spread is still really strong. He does well against several top tiers, such as Pikachu, Snake, and Peach. There are some matchups that he struggles against, namely sword characters, like Shulk, Marth, Lucina, and Pyra / Mythra. His strongest matchups come from zoners, like Samus, R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and ...
Dabuz releases ordered Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tier list for patch 13.0.1
This is actually not a bad tier list. He is right about Olimar having too many bad matchups, and Min Min can get outclassed by several other top tiers. Plus, Min Min was nerfed quite a few times which did hurt her placement. That said, there are still some hot takes here. Peach being below Steve and Cloud is very questionable to me, as she has still gotten pretty good results lately, and I feel ...
