Anyone up for a game in eu? My friend code is 3840 5451 2453
Think I've got a solid Yoshi, Ludwig, Villager and Captain Falcon now!
General character impressions after 300 for glory games:
Yoshi: I've mained yoshi since the 64 days and and this is definitely yoshi's strongest incarnation. Mobile, strong air game, decent ground game, nice combos and an above average recovery! However, his poor grab is still going to hurt him in the long run. I think he's countered pretty hard by a few characters (little mac, captain falcon, dedede) and that will stop him being S tier. I prefer it this way though, because I don't like other people playing the same characters as me.
Ludwig: I view this character as a homage to koopa clown car rather than bowser jr and it is excellent
. He has a very nice zoning/rushdown game and can pull off cool tricks with the mecha koopas and >B. I don't know where he will end up relation to other characters, but again, I don't see him in the top tiers. He probably counters as many people as he is countered by. He has problems with rushdown characters that can run away from him e.g sheik.
Villager: Fun and random moveset. His playstyle is similar to megaman's - a mid range zoner with an added tree. A counterpick character if there ever was one.
Captain Falcon: The captain is back! I think Falcon will see a lot of tournament play this smash series. Similar strengths to Yoshi, except he has an excellent grab game in trade for a below average recovery.
Don't want to comment on other characters yet because I've had minimal playtime as them but the standouts I've met online are: Greninja, ZSS, Sheik, Dedede and Little Mac. Little Mac will probably be weaker in tournaments if people can select other stages though.
I also think Pacman is a bullshit character. If pacman decides to just run away and spam fire hydrant + fruits, there's not much you can do. Harder to catch than Duck Hunt Duo or any other ranged character in the game.
