Typically, I’d agree, but having a OHKO special with decent startup and range in addition to his seemingly amazing ground movement and combo potential might even the playing field somewhat.
I’ll stop there, because I’m not a fan of trailer speculation, and will just bask in the hype while rewatching the trailers over and over again, lol.
Ice Climbers. Diddy Kong. Snake None of them have particularly dominating air games, and their recovery is flawed, but they’re each amazing in Brawl. But each of them also had an ‘gimmick factor’. Grenades, Bananas, Grab loops. Mac’s got a gimmick factor, and we don’t know how bad he will actually be in the air anyways
IC’s and Diddy both end games off simple human errors thnx to infinite grab loops/banana loops.
If Macs ground game is ULTRA dominating then his weaknesses will matter less. That said those things are flawed combat mechanic exploits. IDK if Macs design allows for that
Considering Sakurai himself said with the pic of the days that it’s a one hit KO punch when the power meter is full…I don’t think so. Not unless that gets changed later.
Well Nm then. Based off of the game explain video and evidence that seems to support that it’s going to be based off of Super Punch Out…sounds like Mac has to run atleast a near perfect game to have access to it which doesn’t sound too bad at all.
Poor programming is something we can’t predict. For all we know, Mac could link those side punches together in some glitch based fashion and just make horizontal recovery a non-issue. It’s not like anyone could predict TAC INfinites at reveal trailer.
IC’s grab infinite type thing I’m pretty sure is meant to be in there. Was in Melee and they didn’t remove it in Brawl. I could be wrong on that though. Snake’s ground game is far superior to his air game for sure, and his air moves aren’t that good, cept Up air and b air which are powerful but flawed. Grenades are understandably powerful because items were absurdly strong overall. If Wario could spawn wheels as good as Diddy bananas or Snake grenades, he’s probably be only a rung under Meta Knight.
Sword Hitbox human apendages? Try heavily armored specials. I mean Mac uppercutted straight through Link’s spin.
Also, yes, Snake tilts were BS. That much is true.
If anything they could change it to something close to Jiggs rest, cause where it’s at right now, if he gains KO its gonna turn most matches into a turtle fest to not get hit by it. Or over time he could lose KO status.
wihle smash brothers does look good it still has those shortcomings like bones in all apparel of a character, like how marth’s sheath goes through his leg.
but I guess I should count my blessing on the fact that it’s native 1080p
