I’ve heard reports that blockstun has increased substantially. Can’t confirm it though.

Well, Gespenst, Po, LW, and Davidstar I don’t think I’ve seen since the site moved.

LW is still around (or at least he was) but he changed his name. I think he’s mostly been in the SFV and General forums.

Gespenst is on the Discord. LW’s probably on Smashboards. Davidstar’s still on the Discord.

What’s LW’s name now, UnSaxon?

po not being here I treat as absolutely no loss whatsoever.

pretty sure it’s Akhos

Pretty sure he’s right.

Well, c’mon.

Just to reiterate, I’d be glad to restart the league JUST SO LONG AS ALL YOU FUCKERS ACTUALLY DO YOUR DAMN MATCHES!

Also, I’m far, far, faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr from confirming this, but I think ledge snapping has been reduced for a lot of characters. Guys like Mario, Bayo and Snake I’ve been seeing missing the ledge a lot and going past it.

I’ll back you up on that. I’ve seen Marth go flying past the edge on his up-B at ranges that would have easily snapped in Smash 4.

Also, possible placebo, possible sideeffect of engine change, but Zelda Side B LOOKS faster. I want extra eyes on this before I post it as truth though.

Reduced ledge snapping seems likely. Some of the commentators during the Invitational mentioned that “magnet hands” had been toned down.
Although even in Brawl Snake didn’t have auto-snap during his Up-B.

It’s probably as an answer to directional airdodges being a thing. I have noticed that airdodging into the ledge leads to the invincibility overlapping. the 2-frame is probably still there, but it might be a viable recovery option

Speaking of, does Directional Air Dodge put you in freefall like in Melee? Or can you do it repeatedly? Or is it directional once and then momentum dodges?

From what I can tell, you can do it during your entire fall, no free fall. It just has mad recovery time

By the way, will you be hopping onto the Discord link above or are we moving to another server or what?

I miss Old Man Cyntalan

C-G, UnSaxon, SH, I don’t seem to have your friend codes. Could you get in touch?

I don’t have a Switch

Zelda, updated:

Side B no longer causes Freefall. This one is definite.

If Side B IS faster, the speed increase is very small and may simply be an artifact of changing to a new game. So it’s either not really faster, or it’s not a big improvement on this part.
