[SSB4] Newer Patch discussion, Mewtwo wins a major tourney

Jigglypuff is definitely the worst character now

Buffs to every other bottom tier cement it.

I wonder if we've gone full circle now and Rosalina is back as #1 now with the Sheik, ZSS, Cloud, Bayo and MK nerfs.

Also was the Sheik weight nerf ever confirmed?

I did something like that in a match I played last night. I'm so glad Samus has something now. (though like Bowser, it'll probably end up getting nerfed slightly)

How much do the nerfs change Corrin? I havent played in a month, but other than the counter being nerfed and not as good, how different is Corrin in playstyle?

Pretty much plays the same, the speed nerf was only a 0.03 difference.

I haven't really felt the need to do anything different when I play as them.

Yes. Nothing really changed to much, but lessen the ability to follow up on certain moves, like a paralyzer. But the changes do effect some things like combo's now and makes the other FE characters a reason to be used instead of this all round dragon boi.

She has sooo much trouble killing now, you pretty much have to get a Nair/Needles > Bouncing Fish, Bouncing Fish near the blast zone, or Usmash read to kill before fair/ftilt do.

Seriously, this patch is the best thing that's happened to competitive smash in a while. The top tiers who were defining tourneys everywhere got toned down while the clearly underpowered ones got some buffs.

Rosalina, Sonic, Mario and Pikachu were untouched. Bayonetta didn't get too badly touched. Etc

Cloud is still gonna do really well despite his nerfs, so basically the only one not going to be doing as well is Sheik, Metaknight players have already found workarounds for their nerfs, I doubt the meta is going to change all that significantly, despite the fact that this is the most balanced smash, its still going to be a bit of a top 15 with some others in results

Basically, this. The one thing the update really did was dismantle Shiek, thereby helping along Bayo's superiority.

Rosalina, Sonic, Mario and Pikachu were untouched.

That said, with the exception of Rosa maybe, Shiek and Zero Suit Samus were firmly top tier characters while I think those characters listed are a bit more hard to define their exact placement. One could argue that Ryu or Fox are better than any of those characters as well, so I think its better that we have a vague notion of who is top tier now.

Well, except for the fact that Bayonetta is clearly top tier, and I do think Shiek's nerfs were overkill.

Ryu's main problem is that barely anyone plays him, he'd arguably be the best if more people played him, Fox also has a hard time getting kills, he has to fish for some, Sonic, Mario and Pikachu can at least get some solid kill comfirms.

Like Fox is good, but I don't think he's better than those 3, we'll see, people are already finding some anti Bayonetta tactics, but rip Sheik players.

Ryu can't be the best because Bayonetta exists.

Bayonetta's neutral game is too meh to be top tier though. She can be number 2, but she isn't number 1 in my eyes.
