Mobility is always huge. It means punishing easier, having more punishment options, having more spacing options, etc. Palutena, as far as I know, can cross the stage faster than any other character right now. There aren't high/lows, but there are still attacks/throws, and Palutena can empty tridash as well.

Sure, when I have time and not enraptured by DQX, lol
I did OK against Spark and tloz's Aegis and while I got bodied by SG's Narukami when I was on defense, when it was neutral, it was OK. I'm pretty bad at Arcsys games so to be able do OK really gets ken some points from me.
j.b for Ken is so good
Is Spark still playing Teddie?
There's also the idea that forcing someone into a situation where they hold a shield means they can't actively turn around out while blocking without either short hopping/up B, dropping the shield, or rolling which are all varying levels of gables/sub optimal. I think that could be the scariest part about Palutena's Jump Glide offense, she can pretty much do Project M Mewtwo hovering nairs at frame safety while moving behind the character so they have to choose between making a bad roll commitment, standing there and letting their shield get whittled away or YOLO it up with an up B.
Of course this is all theory monstering so take it with a generous helping of salt.

I've actually had this said to me, and it took all my willpower to not laugh.
Spooky *sound breaking up*: What's up guise this is Spooky here and I'm in the middle of this earthquake...looks like it's a normal thing here...wait actually it's Godzilla...I'm going to try and get a better look for the stream...be right back guys....
My brother once told me that Project M [and by extension Melee styled game play] was stupid/pissed him off because of how much you could do. I still remember feeling breathless wondering what I should say.
I have heard variants of this for many games. lol

I got asked if I was a juggler by my cousin before we played umvc3.
The anime and video game club at my college was like this. They started to only Tekken because none of the serious people played it.
I don't really understand how useful this information would be to them. Just seems like another avenue to Sakurai to gather misinformation about the competitive community to me.

I feel like Shulk should be this guy too. Literally no-one has figured out how to play him yet, and yet he can buff his knockback and his damage output. And his defense. And his mobility. :lol

When I played him last both Aegis and Teddy.

do you know the format of the matches?
wonder if mago is going to pick yang.
I'd honestly feel similarly but the Monado Arts being a reel, and the cool down on some of the further reaching attacks of his kinda make me wonder. If anything, back air alone says he'll be fine but I dunno where he'll place in the pantheon.

Charizard has his GSC shiny as an alt, I guess? And Shiny Pikachu is sort of orangey-yellow, which is definitely one of his hatted alts. Similar with Puff and her lighter-pink Shiny.
Lucario doesnt, which sucks, because his Shiny is pretty distinct in terms of colour scheme.
DHD/Shulk to dominate teams, then? DHD is probably strong enough to ward enough two opponents, giving Shulk the breathing room to Art up? Palutena could fill in too.
Just a thought. Character reeks of potential.
There are one or two orangey Pikachus, aren't there?

true but Charizard Lucario and Jiggs?

Definitely matches at least a couple of those.
From L-R: Charizard, Charmelon, no idea, GSC Shiny, Dragonite, Aerodactyl, Golbat, Ridley.
His modern shiny got cut because Mega Charizard X is super similar, I suppose.
I think they avoided Charizard because of his Final Smash/Mega transformation.
And Lucario just has a terrible selection in general. Will never understand the fascination for that character.

If only I didn't accidentally hit neutral b all the time. :/

Extra mobility sure.
But the properties that make both of those things really good are not too important in Smash.
In neutral I'm not worried so much about anti airing so characters changing their jump trajectory isn't too big of a deal since every character can do this anyway.
And shield is going to be almost as good/as good as it was in Brawl, you're not going to be worried about this as much as you might think.

Mega Lucario should have been made the default for Lucario. It's such an improvement. Just make the Final Smash Close Combat or something, I want to play as Mega Lucario all the time damn it.
Hush!
Or a pair of those, yeah.
My exact feelings to this day regarding Blaziken. Mega Blaziken should have been Blaziken from the jump (broken ability notwithstanding). :lol

I've been skimming over the details of the event, when does it take place? Because if it's this weekend, then I'll put up $10.
Man, Speed Boost is too OD on it, yo.

Oh, I just meant for Smash, haha. I like the Mega Evolution sequence too much to give that up in the games
I wouldn't mind vanilla Blaziken getting retconned out of existence, though, that thing looks fugly nowadays, plus Mega Blaziken is on some Adon shit that I can appreciate in a big way
huh after losing so many NA Aegis players I'm kinda surprised to see him of all people using her.

He played her in the first game too but never used her in tournament.

Same here, lol
Also, Panda, I hope you said "We aren't playing Tekken," to your cousin
But, back when I was a kid, I had a friend say that I had no skill for using the c-stick in Melee once I had started to beat him, lol
Ah okay makes more sense now. We lost Pain, Kurumster, Digi etc so I get curious who's left.
