@Havri7@SSB64UPR Some argue that he isn't S-tier anymore because he can struggle against Pikachu and became less dominant in other matchups. There's still top 30-level Kirby mains (inactive), but seems that newer players feel his gameplay can be too slow.
@MojoFunky Definitely underappreciated but I think a lot of Melee players almost only like the fastest matchups. So 64 might remind them too much of the matchups they don't like in Melee. It would actually help them improve though to practice that type of patience
@JoshBrodySSB I think this strat was also huge for a DBFZ Evo finals a few years ago, so it has precedent in esports. Needs to be labbed and also needs a top 10 moments video
@ch3ult@AliceClimbers For sure. Just in general I like having the options. Some characters are def neat, but competitively, still have to deal with a lot of annoying ones, and those characters really make you want to play the older games lol. Not saying it's all bad, just overall not for me
@JimmyCaldero@AliceClimbers Lol I was gonna say that the movement options in the game still make platform landing pretty smooth but that's too much to fit into the tweet
@Ben_SSBM@Bones0toDeath Oh yeah, probably a lot of locals of Kurv vs ARMY I would imagine. I feel like it's one of those matchups where you take any vids you can get with how rare it is (or at least was at one point). I should have a playlist somewhere. Just DM me if you ever want help labbing it 🙂
@Ben_SSBM@Bones0toDeath Can vouch. iirc, in WF I crouch canceled a lot of common Luigi approaches, but he adapted in GF so it could give a lot of insight into the matchup. I also played him in other tournament like The Script if VoDs of that are up, but the XCS one is def best example for that matchup
@AliceClimbers It's one of my favorite matchups. Used to try and grind it a lot with @ssbmPolish before pandemic stopped events. Eventually Peach would be able to always win I think. Still a lot of adaptations that haven't been found yet
Say what you want about Brawl but few things can replicate the primal feeling of playing with your friends and seeing one of these spawn onto the stage
