reason why scythe is played alot is because of two things. 1 her flexibility. 2 power creep. 1 like sword scythe fills multiple rolls at once, because of the 5 player team size you have to drop some characters that would fit really well, and picking characters that are flexible is very important. like sword you can have the option hey im running a katana comp, but i cant choose between having more point presence and more picking potential, you could pick both banhammer and biograft but then you have 2 slots left. but if you pick sword who can do both you have an extra slot. alot of times in competitive comps the main composition is built around the melee characters or some supports (subspace) the melee characters because melee synergy is really good and subspace because hes broken on some maps. alot of time because of that in a basic ass comp you need a tank, a healer, and most of the time a subspace. that leaves 2 spots left, but you still need both a melee that can pick off people but can also have point presence, and a ranged character that can both pick off low health people and tank bust well. which are sword and scythe. alot of times on the non good sub maps you see less sword or scythe in favor of running ban + bio, or something like rocket + shuri because you have that extra slot. 2 especially scythe has insane power creep, she can do what rocket can better and then more, there is ZERO reason to pick rocket over scythe except like 2 really good rocket maps. and even then if you are dropping scythe for a tank buster + pick your only other option really for a tank buster is rocket which (before like rn) is the worst character in the game so there isnt even an alternative for scythe. just to summarize, she is flexible as shit and just better then some characters at doing their specific job altough shes a jack of all trades.
Sub is just irreplaceable. He does way too much shit. He is the only character with Traps, Poison, Fragile, Lifesteal, Consistent Area Denial, and so much more. With Scythe and sub being irreplaceable, you grab a tank and a hyper and a healer. your done.
@@NeverEverWatchThis there are maps where not running a sub is fine if you are playing hyper defensive or have enough tank busting potential with ranged characters but on some maps he is a must pick
not really, my friend who started playing phighting last night started cooking with scythe and beat another one of my friends who literally got a deathless 20 kill streak once
@@zeltardez this is so true, my friend who's less experienced then me best me (I almost killed them with boombox plus she's so fast it's annoying to run away, only Boomboxz shield kinda help.)
I think you're really down playing her rifle mode, and I really don't think her dps is very high in Scythe mode. For example Sling and Shuri's M1's have the same dps as Scythe M1 if not slightly more and yet Sling and Shuri have more range and can more safely apply that damage. Instead, the advantage of her scythe mode is that she is very mobile and can spend ammo on her Q for safe projectiles or her E to basically fly or chase people down. Her rifle mode on the other hand does have very high damage but comes with the huge downsides of both very little mobility and spending ammo. This leads to her being able to do a bit of everything and her playstyle being both very player dependent and a lot involving a whole lot of switching between very different moves picking whichever is the best one for the current situation. This balanced out by the fact that a lot of the individual things she can do other characters can do a lot better. Despite all that I actually do generally agree that other characters either need to be buffed or designed to be more generalist though cuz characters like Sword or scythe are almost always useful while as characters like Subspace, Hyperlaser, or Katana can be way stronger than Scythe/Sword on some maps and then way weaker on others. Good video anyways, it was cool to hear someone go in depth about the game's balance.
I do agree with the dps in rifle mode, but I forgot to mention specifically that my problem with rifle mode is the spread on m1s. I still think scythe mode dps is solid imo
As someone who's been a scythe main sense her release I think she's in an over all good state, however I feel she has an easier time getting out of sticky situations as opposed too the other phigters and this isn't necessarily a bad thing but she also does a teeny tiny too much damage for how flexible her kit is. for example say your charge is at lets say 175 out of 250, you can use your scythe form e multiple times in a row and then scythe form ult and poof you've successfully been given a get out of jail free card and then you can go restore to mostly full hp and then get a free pick off of someone. her charge is also really easy to get for how oppressive she is right now, and for a "ranged class" her rifle form is kinda useless compared too her scythe form and is pretty much only useful for finishing off kills. overall i think she's in a really good state and just needs a slight readjustment.
A lot of the questions and stuff i address in this video are explained in subtitles pls read them before commenting. This was a video with no script but my subtitles answer like 90% of the things you might be wondering.
I don't understand why scythe ult is so good. The way it deals damage incentivizes use on high HP targets, not as a pick tool. Yes, it helps with escaping and getting back in, but there are other tools that allow you to do that without using an entire 125 phinisher points. So what is it that makes her ult so good?
scythe gets ult faster than other characters because iirc you get like 10% instantly on kill? anyways the issue with scythe ult is mainly that its completely unavoidable. it doesnt matter where you are on the map if your hp is low enough you just instantly die because scythe pressed F it CAN confirm a free engage by spawning on top of them with max shield and all cooldowns and extra ammo but if the target is surrounded by their team you probably wont be able to finish them off. meanwhile if theyre low on hp but surrounded by their team you can left click to instakill them and run away before their team can react
sighje… shes the reason i got into the game… and she wasnt considered meta at the time… now im a loser… and everyones gonna kill me forever for playing scythe… aw man…. aw shucks……..
Imo its prob bcs shes ez to get the hang of but hard to master the tricks and tips of her? or its prob bcs u look rlly cool while phighting or its like a flex that you get almost every round an mvp when playing her to show how skilled you are at scythe and how you carry your team thats basically what i believe coming from a banhammer main with 9000+ hours on playing scythe for fun EDIT : its comfirmed, scythe made me braindead when writing this
exactly metaknight was literally talked about in being banned scythe is not that op she does not warrant a ban and has weaknesses he is literally in his own tier in smash brawl you cannnot compare them at all

Also the meta knight brawl comparison is honestly pretty funny even if I think it's horribly inaccurate
@@ThemarThemar the meta knight brawl argument was a inaccurate comparison, i said it in the video subtitles.

I don’t even touch rifle mode except for like kill confirm I just play scythe like a melee class lol
I didn’t even know what comp was before
Whats your stand on the new rocket buffs?
Ok, so as a level 50 absolute noob, what main do you recomend me?
wouldnt recommend scythe, like now
u could play sword, rocket, sling, hyper and the supports
Personally, I use her because she got me into the game in the first place
