I hate how shitty Zetterburn's character is at the moment. Voicelines is just: RAWR, GRUAH, ROAR. And lorewise all he is just groomed heir to the throne. I hope that they give him some fucking personality.

They said they weren't a priority. In the roadmap october roadmap video dan also said he wants to bring back SK and Ori but for no one to get their hopes up for it. so not totally off the table, maybe if the console bump is a success it'll start looking more realistic for them

Also Yi Nine Solman, Sybil, and Kril would all be great fitting reps and theyre all from 2023 or 2024 indie games

The most important thing of the December patch is Ranno GETS ANNIHILATED
FUCK THIS CARRIED BITCH ASS CHARACTER
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>
>>503866454
Kragg is worse there are so many of them
>>
>>503867935
He's not. Kragg is combo food and a massive target. Ranno is literally Kragg minus those weaknesses.
>>
>>503863715
>>503866325
why is this?
>>
>>503868621
combo food doesnt matter when he can consistently live to 150+ and has multiple ways to gimp you at 60

if you play ranno youre carried in neutral
if you play fleet youre carried in neutral and edge guarding
if you play kragg youre carried in neutral, punish, edge guarding and recovery

>>
>>503876439
rannos deep offstage recovery is completely linear, there are situations where he can only get back by tonguing his bubble that makes it weak to characters who can go way off stage safely (fleet and kragg)
and being able to go way off stage safely is what makes their edgeguarding significantly stronger than rannos

Correct.
>>
>>503883558
edgeguarding is nothing more than space control
rannos ledge hop bair is absolutely king at the space it controls but it doesnt even control 1/5th of the space that fleet and kragg can threaten, they are fundamentally playing a different game

Always have a puddle.
Don’t teleport unless you really have to. Get good at using your bubblebutt and orca hops and all that to recover, so in the moment you can get back whichever way the opponent isn’t covering.
Don’t just be a bubble spamming pussy. Be aggressive. His jabs, tilts, aerials, throws, and smashes are all amazing. Just whale all over them.

yeah, there's a lot of people who can't get a SINGLE win online and have been having a rough go of things. i think it's cool enough as part of their new player onboarding strategy, but even with their promise to flesh the mode out, i still hope to see some progress on an in-game tutorial before the year ends. a good marketing strategy to pump numbers would be to have another free to try demo week once the tutorial is complete.

clairen is the highest skill character
>>
>>503901670
I don't see how. None of them have any range. Up air and back air are pretty laggy. Back air fails to connect into the strong hit half of the time. Forward air makes forward approaches in the air nigh impossible, and back air's inconsistency doesn't make reverse aerial rush much better. Neutral air is pretty much the only one that can compare to any of Zetter's.

He literally can't approach. What is a forsburn meant to do against anyone on the fast when 80% of his kit gets nullified by core mechanics like CC and floor hugging.
>>
>>503902250
Nair is bonkers. Up air is a bit laggy, but it’s a great combo move in some matchups and a great kill option in others.
Once you get more consistent with back air, though? It’s GG.

It was mostly posted during the first few days of launch so it might've been when the ranked placements were not matured enough and you could get matched against really good players who just started off.

>>503931901
i try and treat it like sheik where you hold the ledge to force an onstage recovery and then punish the onstage option
its a bit harder than punishing sheik tho
>>
>>503937414
Makes sense. His aerials kinda suck at killing offstage, so yeah forcing a bad recovery is probably best.
>>
>>503937497
just gotta be mindful of the side b ending hitbox and keep your iframes refreshed at the ledge
also he can wall jump after a side b so if he's high enough he can just jump back up

i will never understand why people hate playing against maypul. maypul to me seems like3 a normal character that does normal things

>>503950020
I agree, it's tough when a good maypul doesn't let you breath and advantage states you for an entire stock but she still feels really well designed. Not tilting to play against at all
>>
>>503950020
She's fast, small and has a quick projectile that lets her either do some broken smash attack or a tether right to you. If I'm remembering right though the enemy can get rid of this with a parry, and there's a few of those to go around with Maypul. Orcane is probably worse.

Real thinking man's character, even if the smoke mechanic feels a bit jankier than it should, imo.

Decent main character of the game. Earned.

>>504028270
it's easier to move your character and do tilts with the other stick than trying to move and tilt with the same stick
for example you can babydash to chain up tilts together without needing to worry about that input nightmare on a single stick
if you want tilts out of a full dash you need to cancel the dash with a crouch first though

Bair kills early but its such a fucking roll if you're going to hit the smallest hitbox on 2nd hit.
You can punish bad recoveries with ehanced fsmash
offstage you can upair or bubblebutt as you can always recover to the puddle.
He has quite alright throws too.

enhanced fstrong hasn't been doing anything for me, i even tried to use it against straight horizontal recovery (forsburn side special) and it didn't hit him somehow

Rivals 2 needs a comfy stage that feels lived in
>>
Fox is a better character than any Rivals 2 character and it's not close. Kragg would get wave shine infinited. Ranno would get rushed the fuck down and drilled to death. Wrastor would get up air chained into death. He also just runs circles around every character because of his ground speed, aerial momentum, fast and gigantic hitboxes, and his oppressive full hop mixups, And he even gets to have the best anti camping tool in the game with his fuck you lasers. God I wish Fox could rape this trash game to death. It's what it deserves. Fox if you can hear me, please save me.

Joseph Manuel Marquez, (born December 10, 1991) known by his gamertag Mango (stylized MaNg0 or Mang0), is an American professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player and streamer from Norwalk, California. Known for his aggressive, high-risk playstyle, he is widely considered one of the game's greatest players of all time, and is one of the "Five Gods" of Melee, along with Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma, Adam "Armada" Lindgren, Kevin "PPMD" Nanney, and Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman. Marquez began his career playing Jigglypuff; however, he has primarily played Falco and Fox since 2011. He has been part of the Cloud9 esports team since 2014.

Marquez has won several major tournaments, including GENESIS 2009, EVO 2013 and 2014, The Big House in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2019 and Smash Summit 11 in 2021. Marquez has been ranked as one of the top ten Melee players in the world every year since formal rankings began in 2013 and was ranked the best Melee player in the world in 2013 and 2014. A 2021 list compiled by PGStats ranked Marquez as the greatest Melee player of all time. He is one of the most popular Melee players, with an active Twitch channel that boasts over 500,000 followers.

In 2019 Mango won The Big House 9, in 2020 he won LACS 3, in 2021 Smash Summit 11 and in 2022 he won Super Smash Con 2022, Lost Tech City 2022, Smash Summit 14 and Mainstage 2022. In 2024, Mango won Tipped Off 15 and Supernova 2024.

Marquez is of Costa Rican descent. He graduated from John Glenn High School in 2010. He and his significant other Lauren have one son, Joseph Mango Marquez, born October 14, 2013, whose middle name comes from the senior Marquez's Melee handle. Marquez stated that his involvement in gaming kept him out of gangs. Mango currently lives in Norwalk, California. He lived in Ohio after winning EVO 2013 but has since returned to his hometown.

mang0 is the only relevant person streaming rivals 2. without him you would just see literalwho channels with viewcounts like 70, 50, 52, 56, 2, 4, 1, and then 341 (void). the game would already be dead as far as twitch.tv viewership goes. no one cares about any of the rivals1 pros. mang0 is probably the only reason this game still gets 2k+ 24 hour peaks. without mang0 the 24 hour peaks would be close to 3 digits already. mang0 is literally the only reason thousands of people are still playing this game. people literally play this game because mang0 said it was cool on stream.

I fundamentally do not understand this game. I've played for 100 hours, yet I don't feel that I've improved at all. If anything, I feel worse than when I started. Everyone else is faster than me, better at linking moves than me, better at killing than me. It often feels like I'm wearing a heavy suit of armor while the rest of the players are naked. And I just don't get... why.
It's not from lack of experience. I've well over 10,000 hours in other fighters / platform fighters. I've ranked high in them, even. But something about this game is beyond me.
>>
the rivals community does not want rivals 2 to be popular and i dont understand why. wouldnt it be nice if there were more than 18 people at your tournaments, 15 of them either being trans or a chaser? dont you want better for your community? all rivals pros have to do is start streaming ranked sets and be open to smashies ideas on how to improve the game.

I'm not that guy, but are you just shitposting? Like, is this entire charade of your just a shitpost? The uploading of the replay would be for YOUR benefit, not the random stranger's.

>"""You must be fun at parties."""

What are you talking about? "Do something that takes an hour" it's uploading a video clip, you're not standing there working for an hour you just hit upload and come back later. Or you could take 15 seconds to find the replay file, throw it on catbox, and post the link.

is there such a thing as a "slow" character in this game? in similar games i've never really liked being aggressive, forcing openings, chasing down the opponent, etc. more of a "punish approaches, outmaneuver, outplay" enjoyer. but every character i've tried seems like the former.

>>504088449
i tried lox for a good while but he doesn't seem very good at that sort of style. his frame data isn't really good enough to keep people at bay, so he needs to be aggro.
fors is definitely aggressive as hell, so that's a no too.

>in similar games i've never really liked being aggressive, forcing openings, chasing down the opponent, etc. more of a "punish approaches, outmaneuver, outplay" enjoyer.
>but every character i've tried seems like the former.
This is a defensive game, anon. This is not a sick game like Melee. Edge guarding doesn't exist, and shields are too good. All characters are "punish approaches", because that's what this game is. You do not generally get rewarded for approaching or making plays. You are most generally rewarded by sitting still and doing nothing and hoping that your opponent is Meleepilled and tries to actually play the game while you sit there and punish them for it.
>>
>>504088624
yeah they do not seem slow in the slightest, watching tournament play of them they're just as fast and in-your-face as everyone else

>>504088685

>>504088747
i know heavies arent slow here. in every other fighting game/platform fighter heavies are slow and its what i meant. heavies are supposed to be slow and in this game they arent for some reason.
>>
>>504088862
>heavies are supposed to be slow and in this game they arent for some reason.
Dan says that heavies are balanced because they are easier to hit than smaller and lighter characters.

Fors doesn't have to be played aggressively

Yes but no
Yes because it means less variety in kinds of characters to pick
No because at least they're balanced

Because Dan isn't a hack and realizes giving a character slow movement speed and poor frame data makes them inherently bad.
Their greatest weaknesses should be having a large hurtbox and *maybe* a more exploitable recovery.

Unfortunately, this is a real opinion that people here have.

Rival 1 players would rather just play the original because it's a better game mechanically and it has the workshop for casuals. I wouldn't be surprised if Rivals 2 straight up goes to single digits if the patch is anything short of a miracle.

Speaking honestly, the games perfectly fine. Looks good, plays good.
Shields are annoying and the ledges make edgeguarding harder, but it really ain't bad. Just different.

bros im starting to think marlon getting soft cancelled set us back meta wise. r1 has almost zero players with public personas and decent streams. even less so that actually like r2 enough to play it, so there's a vast wealth of knowledge that just doesn't see the light of day. all we've been exposed to is lame or easy shit that wins, like fleet kragg and ranno, but then i watch marlon play and he consistently pulls out shit i've never seen on underrepresented characters like zetter orcane maypul and wrastor

he's been saying certain options are too strong, (funnily enough orcane side b ledge invulnerability was one of them) but for the most part he's fine with the state of edgeguarding right now. i've heard them talking about wall techs going away on his stream though and i feel like that's kind of a dreadful change if true.
>>
>>504138234
Marlon will be back shortly.
Zetter is not underrepresented, but the other three you mentioned are insanely good characters, and it’s wacky that very few players are willing to put in the time to learn them, or to learn the matchups they complain about. Frankly, it’s bizarre.
It would be truly sad if the game simply dies before the Meta truly develops. Right now everyone wants to play the braindead characters, or they’re begging Dan to make their characters braindead in the next patch.
Just give it a little time, people.

I would love playing a patch with this implemented just to see what it's like, but every single stage is designed for wall teching/jumping to be a thing, so I doubt it would ever go away.
>>
I keep seeing this weird phenomenon where people do like 90% of an edgeguard, and then it’s like they think to themselves “I’ve done enough” and stop.
You’re so close. Maybe the other guy has one mixup left, or one more boost of upward momentum. But don’t just whine, finish the job. You’re this close to the end zone; don’t give up now.

>>504141596
>I keep seeing this weird phenomenon where people do like 90% of an edgeguard, and then it’s like they think to themselves “I’ve done enough” and stop.
I think it's more like they get tired of "killing" multiple times and don't want to press their luck any more for fear of a reversal.
>>
>>504141905
because the character is dogshit
>>
>>504141596
It's just boring. We all like our game to require skill, but in the edgeguarding department its just so painfully boring we'd rather just have braindead easy melee edgeguards where you live if you do the correct thing and you die if you do the incorrect thing in one edgeguard interaction and not 13 back to back edgeguard interactions that last 15 seconds every time. It's such a daunting experience and video games should be fun. Also reversals are easily possible, so much so that it feels free as fuck for the opponent every time and whenever it happens you just feel like you've been robbed, it's always a very lame experience and video games should be more fun
>>
>>504141596
There's just more levels to edgeguarding in this game than what's considered standard. Even R1, where the recoveries are comparable didn't have to worry about the second layer of safety in ledge. That additional effort leads people to believe they CAN'T get edgeguards or that the risk isn't worth giving up stage control or the opportunity for a reversal.

People also don't really know what the fuck they're doing once they go offstage if I'm being honest. So many edgeguards dropped because players go for spikes in the safest possible spot, usually extremely close to the wall.
>>
>>504142573
Probably because DIing and teching a spike is way fucking harder in melee so people are used to doing them close to the ledge. Like if you can eat a Falco dair by the ledge and DI into the wall and tech you're pretty fucking good. Meanwhile this shit is just free.
>>
>>504141952
>>504142381
I won’t say you’re wrong for wanting it to be simpler, and maybe the patch will do exactly that.
It’s just weird to see people right on the cusp, but unwilling to do the one last step. Sometimes there isn’t even any risk involved. It’s almost like out of principle the edgeguarder is like “no, he should be dead already. I’m not gonna grab ledge, too.” or whatever the final step happens to be.
>>
>>504143761
>It’s almost like out of principle the edgeguarder is like “no, he should be dead already. I’m not gonna grab ledge, too.” or whatever the final step happens to be.
Nah, I'm telling you man, it's what I said. Just the inevitability of getting reversaled. "I've killed him like 5 times, I'll just sit on the stage like it's Ultimate now and wait for him to come back that way I'm not the idiot who died at 50% trying to (honestly) fish for a kill against someone who is 150%"
>>
>>504143616
Yeah, that muscle memory fucks people over hard in this game. They could stand to make launch angles on spikes a lot shallower but spikes themselves are ridiculously easy to hit already. Unironically, they were nerfed a lot from the first Kickstarter patch, because they trivialized offensive offstage play. That's why you see them sending people nowhere even at 70%
>>
tips for improving? i know i need to grab more often. also feel like i get grabbed a lot, but i'm not too sure how to improve on that. spotdodging seems ineffective, my opponent can usually just shield before i can actually punish it

zett

Here's a tip: stop playing Zetter. He's quite literally the only character you can consistently edge guard in a game with insane recoveries. He's got short, stubby, and inactive hitboxes with not enough speed compared to the rest of the cast to make up for it. Pickup Ranno and you will understand what good buttons feels like

>>504144579
You did like 4 smash attacks the entire game, 3 of them missed, and they were all up smash.
You often shield for no reason after landing a hit instead of continuing to apply pressure.
>>
>>504152214
zetter's fstrong is only really good for calling out obvious approaches / recoveries imo. and down strong only seems good for tech chase situations. i'm usually better at landing my up strongs
going unga bunga with zetter is just asking to get parried, his frame data isn't good enough to keep up pressure against good players
>>
Finally learned how to Edgeguard in this game.
It somehow made the game feel worse and unfun.
It's not worth the effort, they can still get very easy reversals.
>>
I'm so close to plat... so close...
>>
>>504152603
I don't know what to tell you bro, you landed 1 smash attack on a character about applying burn then smashing. Zetters smashes are fast and good. 140% Ranno is in landing lag next to you on the stage, that's an automatic smash not jump neutral air, the guy only loses the stock by SD.

You also let your opponent do whatever they want by shielding nothing, you're gonna get grabbed a lot.
>>
>>504155674
dstrong has fast startup, but the hitboxes are awkward, and it has a ton of recovery time if it whiffs. fstrong is not fast at all, frame 17 is the first active hitbox
>>
>>504144579
I'm a bit of a noob myself but the first thing i noticed is you don't move around enough, which makes it really easy to get hits on you. Also you need to learn zetter bread and butter combos and you don't use Nair enough.
>>
>>504156052
Yeah ok keep not using 2/3 of your smash attacks and don't play aggressive rush down on Zetterburn of all fucking characters your gameplay clip is flawless.

Definitely don't switch to Lox fucks are going to be living to 250%.

What advice do you want, you don't want to learn the characters fundies like its literal gimmick. Tournament Zetters use up smash more, down smash more, and still throw side smash when they can, and they're playing against the best players in the world not silvers that give about 2000 more openings like the one I mentioned.

This is starting to feel like a troll to whinge about the character.

LITERALLY HOW? Unless I'm fighting loxodont or forsburn every single fucking character in this game just rapes my wrastor. I feel like I have to win 10x as many fucking interactions just to confirm kills as this shit-ass character. Comboing as him is a total pain in the fucking ass because opponents will ALWAYS DI out of range, even with slipstream buff. And don't even get me STARTED on if you make the mistake of letting your opponent get to 140%+, then you won't expect to kill them until fucking 200%.

It takes me less than a minute to take a stock with ranno and it consistently takes 2 minutes to take a stock with wrastor, this character fucking SUCKS and I HATE HIM

It's not even the fact it's an obnoxious out of shield kill move that's so good that it's capable reliably countering zetterburn shine pressure (You're defending this BTW). It's the fact that it's a retarded DI mixup at any point during a juggle that will kill you at like 70% if you fucking dared to tilt your stick in the opposite direction of wrastor for a nanosecond. Sorry. He just doesn't need that.

crouching into a tilt barely slows you down at all, you don't even see the crouch animation, just hold down for like half a second and you're free to do any tilt out of the dash
of course this is easiest if you're using tilt stick like a sane human

Open training mode and see your options in framebyframe mode

>>504210264
I'll try this but it still sounds 100x dumber than L cancelling. Why can't I just tilt forward and press my button? What exactly is the need for this extra step?
>>
>>504210527
you may as well be asking "why can't i down strong out of shield" or "why can't i cancel a jab into a dash attack"
the answer is the game wasn't designed that way, you aren't supposed to have every option at your fingertips during any action. being too actionable out of a dash makes dashing in and pressing shit without thinking too strong. having conditions to doing things out of dash makes you use that noggin of yours.
>>
>>504210803
How exactly does it compare to melee? I mention melee because it's the smash I'm familiar with. Why does it make sense to ftilt whenever I want without accidentally dash attacking on melee but on Rivals 2 its too op and needs the crouch? Is it because of the buffer system being in place in rivals 2?

I don't feel like grinding arcade mode until it's more finished, but it did kick my ass the few runs I tried day1.

Forgive me for sounding like a meleefag but this game unironically should design itself around 4 stocks instead of 3. 3-stock matches in this game last just as long as melee 4-stock matches, and all the extra time taken up by those longer stock interactions is usually frustrating and boring (super high percent poke-offs)

Mang0 is so right about grabs being fucking lame. Why did they even put them in Rivals 2? Not having them in Rivals 1 was such a bold and awesome decision. Did Dan watch melee Sheik and see her spamming grab and really think, "You know what Rivals needs shit like this"
>>
>>504225238
I'm in favor of 4 when being off stages becomes perilous. Right now games would take sooooo fucking long.

Does Ranno have a single match up where he's even remotely uncomfortable? Wrastor if Marlon is playing him? I want to be a Lox main, but that match up is unwinnable so I'm looking for some kind of secondary. It seems like no character actually counters him.

>>504229181
He struggles against Fleet due to her just barely being able to run him down with good spacing and she has solid edgeguarding routes to close out stocks. Clairen is his next worst matchup after that because the midrange demon beats his relatively close-ranged buttons and also has good edgeguarding routes but not as good as Fleet's. It's not even remotely what you would consider to be "uncomfortable" though. Both are very doable, but they still win even if only slightly.
>>
>>504246942
rivals is too easy for it to be acceptable to struggle after a break, you're just trash
>>
>>504246942
it's ok if you truly deserved that rating you'll get it back
>>
>>504229181
Ranno hates disjoints. Fleet and Clairen haunt his nightmares because he can't mindlessly spam his excellent frame data in their direction without losing his toes. If they keep swinging he struggles to do anything.

>>504250395
thats how he plays every game hes good at
>>
>>504251080
such as...
>>
>>504250395
He also has been autistically reviewing every tournament set and talking to top players daily. I watched him review a set from Evil Nardwuar and his analysis was excellent, he completely picked up on all of his habits and gave suggestions on what to correct. M2K will probably at least be a Leffen tier player if not better.
>>
>>504251141
every smash installment
>>
>>504251307
i watched his zetterburn video for 20 seconds and he said he "doesn't really use" zetter's shine
he doesn't know how to play this game

>>504251327
he hasn't performed at a top level in those in several years
>>
>>504251446
Zetter's shine is actually pretty ass the higher up you get. You can floor hug it and asmah tech it in perpetuity basically. Actually watch him review a tournament set. You're gonna be surprised at his level of analysis. He takes notes on every little autistic detail to the point where he has a text doc where he will write player habits down. Like he'll go hmm Cake is as good at CCing at the average melee player and lets Leffen get away with some stuff. *opens word doc and makes note of that*
>>
>>504251848
>Zetter's shine is actually pretty ass the higher up you get. You can floor hug it and asmah tech it in perpetuity basically
that's only relevant if you try to chain them together like a mashing monkey, nobody is holding down on the first hit and it can lead into a combo
>>
>>504252060
yeah funnily enough, the level of utility of zetter shine flattens out around midlevel where you just learn how to waveshine/multishine and then increases again at high level, where you start to utilize shine kill confirms and shine edgeguards. it's like the graph of an odd power function.

Return of the king

>>504250395
That is, in fact, why he was good at melee.
It would be cool if he actually went to tournaments and did okay. I could see him being a top 8 regular.
>>
>>504250247
his first stream back is going to be huge. too bad he's just going to scare all of his new viewers away by begging each and every one of them for money every 2 seconds whilst spamming ads
>>
>>504258245
I wonder if he'll tone that shit down for his return (probably not because lolm2k). I was willing to put up with it because I imagine his situation in South Africa or wherever the fuck he was was kind of like rock bottom for him and he was trying to min max any means of revenue possible.

I'm in the range of player where I can beat anyone who doesn't know how to play around shield dropping, but the second I run into someone who does it's a coin flip at best. Don't know how you progress beyond this point other than having the smash bros gene.

>>504266804
is he like super broke or something? I watch his stream for like 10 min and he's shilled his "help me" google doc 5 times.
>>
>>504276598
>is he like super broke or something?
I think he's been living off the kindness of strangers for the past decade or so. He obviously makes some of his own money by being m2k, and it's enough that multiple people have apparently stolen from him, but he's always been living with some sort of "handler" for as long as he's been on Twitch. Like, I remember back when he lived with PB&J.

i really wish i could figure out why this is happening and stop it. my character constantly air dodges at random whenever im in the air and it causes me to lose matches.

I had this but it was my controller inputting a down input for no reason. Switched to using a Switch Pro and it went away.

I swear online though sometimes tap jump is on even when it's off.

>>504277754
i don't want to use a different controller, i just want the game to work as intended. why does no one care about this issue?
>>
>>504277907
I don't have that issue but I have also has the issue of my controller inputting "down" for no reason. It would actually be that "up" sporadically becomes "down". I believe this is the same issue that prevented me from wanting to play Rivals 1 back when it came out. It doesn't really happen often, but I wish it NEVER happened.
>>
This game is so fucking aids man. That stupid fucking parry buff in the leaks better be real. People can just spam retarded projectiles and the risk vs reward for you having to tap that 30 frame start up parry is laughable. Log the fuck off zetterfaggots.

I had this issues before and fixed it by going to controller settings in Steam and turning off inverted control stick

Kragg's got that "main character" aura about him.
>>
>>504288613
he's quite clearly the upset one. he barely won game 1 and taunted over it, got destroyed game 2, and this was the end of game 3. i could feel the seethe in his every move
>>
>>504284553
Lox's bair is a joke move. Maybe when it actually starts killing people I'll consider him a serious character. I literally don't care what they have to do to change it. Add 5 more frames of start up but make it the strongest bair in the game. He's a fucking heavy, they are supposed to hit hard. But in reality it's basically got the same knockback growth as a ranno fair.
>>
>>504294068
lox bair kills sub 100, stop blaming the character for you being shite. watch the loxes consistently getting top 8 if you need spoon-feeding on how to play.
>>
>>504294481
No it doesn't. Maybe if you're offstage yeah, but it's not even killing the light characters under 100.
>>
>>504294481
Sis, you don't know how to DI...
>>
>>504294481
Lox bair won't even kill at 150 on big stages with proper DI. I straight up forget I'm supposed to be playing some giant powerhouse character every time I'm on lox. I'm playing Melee Bowser basically. Nah melee bower's up air actually killed people sometimes.
