I like this!

Hey just corrections I have on the SF6 placements, (subjectively anyway). Juri can absolutely get stocks up outside of a combo or fullscreen. She can often sacrifice some oki in exchange for stocks as well as being able to end spaced blockstrings with a stock and remain safe against most of the cast (except ken with shippu). Luke is definitely way more rushdown coded as he has a top 5 drive rush by numbers and top 3 when in close proximity. He has strengths in basically every category however, probably even more so than juri IMHO. He's absolutely an all rounder type character. He's got fantastic pressure normals with 2.mp and 5.hk and he has fantastic mid range with light sand blast, heavy flash knuckle, 5hp and 4hp. The way they seem to be trying to balance this is by giving him lower damage than the other shotos. Basically making him competent in all categories similar to Akuma (but less so IMHO) and instead of lower than average health he has lower than average damage. Similar to Luke I think akuma can also go basically everywhere. He actually has a better fireball than Ryu and better Anti-airs meaning he can play the shoto zoning much better. But he also has rushdown tools like demon flip, and best forward walk and great boxing tools with 2 hit confirmable long range heavies, air fireball, mk tatsu (reaction fireball punish), and best back walk. He has all this in exchange for low health and thats it cuz hes a top 5 character. Really liked the video and I like these archetypes a lot. I do like that grapplers are a subset of rushdown boxers as they do often tend to have fantastic pokes.

Imo sonic is a good example of a rush down zoner, but he doesn't really have projectiles just a very good burst range Characters that have very good neutral/footsies are hard to place in smash, in normal fighting games id say theyre usually boxers

you look like a clean version of asmongold

I feel like this framework works great at identifying threat ranges and categorizing characters, but it seems to gloss over other dimensions that are usually used to categorize characters. Mobility, oki, or resource management affects playstyles a lot, but aren't exactly captured here.

Nice editing

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone describe the fighting game archetype trinity as boxer/zoner/rushdown before. All I’ve heard was grappler/zoner/rushdown

my goat RPS with the microsoft paint video. thats the narp classic

What character archetype is YOUR favorite to play? As stated in the video, I love my unga bunga Rushdown Boxers but I'd love to hear about what draws you to your favorite!

THOSE COMBOS!!! 🫦🫦🫦

0:35 i mean fighting games is such a small genre basically every fighting game that comes out in a year gets nominated.

R.I.P Steven shield 😢 now what am I supposed to do with my Steven main now he lost what he’s been special for no every character can do it

The game is in a constant state of recency bias. It’s still shit. It’s just every season we want to believe it’s fixed. It’s not

❤❤❤

Yes. More jason tips. Im in diamond and need to get to masters by the end of the year and, knowing about airwalker feels important for high rank.

hmmm wonder what this could be for....

the active frames on most of these characters are actually a problem

The first line of the video is flat out Delusional

This is pretty good to cover the very basics. If you're watching this looking for more: Forward air: Moves you a lot depending on your air speed + direction facing + direction held (left stick) when performed. The knock back increases the faster you're moving. Puddle also empowers side special. Craziest mechanic is hydro-planing. To do this, input a smash (or grab) during a dash turnaround. This means starting a dash, long enough that you do NOT dash dance, press the opposite direction, and immediately input any smash in any direction. You will slide really far. Bonus: if you empower the smash with a puddle, you slide EVEN further, reaching across most stages with a forward smash.

I think the game needs a little more speed still

Ngl i think this was a dumb input from multiversus why not just speed up the dodges like how it originally was but well see

Just deleted the game 5 mins ago, attacks going right through opponents without them even dodging hits just don’t register. And for some reason its only in ranked mode so I call rigged but not surprised with Warner bros

best video to transition from ultimate to ROA 2 i love it thank you !

How do I use the shields I can’t find them I only play Rick

Yup thats why u only got 741 views. Cuz this game has fallen completely off, scraped the ground and cant get back up🤣

Superman, joker and jason got buffs and they all need fkn nerfs

Now jason gets a fkn buff ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING?????

So jake(who.nobody plays btw) gets nerfed and fuckin GIZMO gets buffed. Exactly why theirs 16 players playing smfh

Well glad i quit last week cuz they wanna makeagent smith suck while way more characters need to be fixed and been needing it

Shields are amazing but they still feel a lil clunky and they have some weird glitches but I’m more excited for s5 where they can make the game faster

Great video .. i feel the same way .. how do you feel about shields now that its officially out

game is dead lmao 300 players on steam rn

I booted thinking this was just a round of character buffs, but I literally yelled out a "Huh?? Shield!" In real life after I got my basketball blocked.

If People dont like shields they are bad or Just spam projectiles

A change to shields I would like to see is to make the shield and parry animations different, just for some extra visual clarity. Also, now that shields have been added to the game, I wonder if we'll see future characters get unique shield break attacks.

The shields were great for my Jason

I think the shields are fine… still needs some work… but it was now or neva why wait the game feels a lot better with it then without it

I honestly DID NOT think that shields would drop until season 5 but it would appear they dropped early.... Maybe a bit too early...? What do you think?

It's a bit too early imo for shields with all the issues it has like the invisble shield glitch and multihits melting it etc i still love shields but its too early

this big patch right before a major tourney...

i told tony to release shields or else, heh.. guess he knew what was good for him

I love that PFG hasn't given up hope even as the writing on the wall becomes increasingly more obvious. With the release of Marvel Rivals I haven't touched Multiversus in so long...I hope that they announce something to keep the game competitive as new, more player friendly, live service games release around it.

I am generally ranked number 74 to 78. I think bc ny main is with Garnet, user name PeeFart1986, don't ask my husband made it. His main is Superman, and he ranks as about 300. I suck sometimes, but sometimes I'm good... pretty inconsistent tbh and really question my ranking so high.

Betaversus.. shields... Yeah beta...

Raven, She's perfect leave her alone. She feels like raven. You play jason, Your not scared of raven.

great video!

My problem is that shields don’t fix jabversus. The most optimal punish out of shield for 90% of the cast is jab or dodge jab, so all we did was move the overcentralizing jab issue around instead of outright removing it. The real issue I feel for why jabs are so strong is because most characters do not have a viable alternative. It’s no surprise that the overwhelming majority of the top tiers currently are ones with both jab combo starters AND aerial combo starters. Due to how jabs work, they will never not be a strong option unless you remove their entire combo-ability. I think people would be significantly less reliant on jabs if more characters had reliable aerial combo starters to use instead of jab. They’ve started to do this a bit by making more characters have ground bounce aerials (Jason nair, Jake nair, Harley sair, Banana Guard nair, etc), but I feel a lot of characters are missing aerial combo starters that aren’t risky dairs with a decent amount of whiff. I think adding more aerial combo starters will create significantly less reliance on jabs because all I’ve seen from Schwifty Showdown is people using jab out of shield instead of just jab in neutral
