I run Mac at my locals and I've been taking consistent second places, along with resetting the bracket in grands. Haven't gotten the #1 spot yet but getting there. Some clips on my page of my Little Mac.
Lets make a character that hits like a truck, has good recovery, has several attacks that stun you into a 0-death combo, has massive super armor or intangibility on a lot of his attacks and has a reflect.
Defining characteristics of a shoto are: good footsies/neutral, fireball, invincible reversal/dp/shoryuken, and a tatsu. Little Mac has maybe 2 of those (neutral and reversal). Luigi is more of a shoto than little Mac.
@@seththeace6217 It comes from Shotokan Karate, and the term has been so fucking fucked that is is being applied to goddamn LUIGI?!.... It is so much more than 3 moves. It is pretty ignorant to apply to term so loosely. Little Mac is a fucking boxer, which is markedly different from Shotokan...The comparison is asinine.
@@speokeosai I forgot Justin Wong is the Emperor of FGC and what he says is law. I am sure that was in no way sarcastic or playful and he actually thinks Mario practices Shotokan Karate. With the way it is now, anyone could argue as a "shoto" now because the term no longer has meaning. Kind of like how the word "literally" also no longer means that. Boy I love english... Not at all a chore.
Kazuya's disadvantage isn't even bottom 20 out of hand. He can recover from literally anywhere and his recovery is almost completely uncontestable. He struggles being juggled, sure, but so does Lucina, so that's hardly an argument for 'the worst disadvantage in the game.' Let me just quickly, without even thinking about it, name 20 characters with inarguable worse disadvantage states: Bowser, Ganon, Mac, ICs, Doc, DK, Incineroar, DDD, King K Rool, Plant, Ridley, Kirby, Lucario, R.O.B., Robin, Ken, Ryu, Simon, Richter, Isabelle, Byleth, Min Min, Mii Gunner. (Honorable mentions to Charizard and Pyra, who have 100% worse disadvantage states than Kazuya, but get to push a button to become characters with better disadvantage states than him.) ...That's more than 20. And that's without considering the characters that are at or near his level of disadvantage, who MAY realistically have worse disadvantage states than him. Conversely, his advantage state is better than that of almost all of the characters listed here. Arguing against Kazuya being broken just shows you're a fool. The only thing keeping him from being the literal best character in the game is his below average matchups against the top 5.
@@RigWim Culmination of many factors. Some of the usual suspects, ie big bodied, super heavyweight with no vertical hit boxes on his aerials. But what makes Kazuya's uniquely bad is his frame data on his jumps. He has over double the frames on his jumps than everyone else. That might not sound like much but its catastrophic for his kit.
YES!? edit: i have made a slight change in my judgment. Peanut is the fan favourite, and i respect his choice for mac. However, due to Mac’s weakness being exposed and strengths, (aka power on ground and super armour smashes), kazuya just beats him
I remember people where complaining about similar stuff before the DLC even came out. Ultimate has a lot of strong hitting moves/set ups. Though a lot of them got nerfed over time because of people complaining. I'm interested to see if Kazuya will survive the next patch though, as they do nerf DLC in Ultimate. Unlike with Smash 4 where they buffed all the DLC to make sure they where all top tier.
@@jasonlobo2350 Well, you don't really want that to be the case for any character. I think they've been very mindful with nerfs in this game because they completely ruined characters in Smash 4 by over nerfing them.
