    Sounds like I should pick up armor king and not marduk

    Didn't know he drew the short straw this time

    uh, don't let Armor King hit you because even with day 1 combos his damage is definitely on the higher end

    If there is anything that can be learned from Tekken, it’s that tier lists are TRASH.

    I can attest to this.

    I am not very good, but...

    Armor King fights start at 10:45, and even a cursory hit just seems obscene and very easy to capitalize on.

    Armor King is gonna be ridiculous. He was already crazy good in T6 and TTT2 and they kept his legacy tools, gave him some new ones, and mega amplified his damage output on top. The only thing I can find that is missing is his free b+1,2 after the pickup groundthrow at the wall.

    Marduk isn't gonna be as dominant. He wasn't burning up the charts back in the day, and he's mostly the same. The major change is that he's physically smaller and has tinier legs. He lost a lot of range on key buttons, and didn't get much in return.

    Does being smaller protect him from higher damage combos that don't work on more normal-sized characters? Or is he still big enough for that to still be a thing?

    Also a thing I wonder about in Rangchu's game during TWT finals was that Qudans especially had a tough time dealing with Hunting Bear Stance. I'm pretty sure bears can't block while in Hunting Bear Stance, so what stops people from just mindlessly guessing between hopkick and low parry? Is it that Devil Jin's version of the hopkick isn't the generic 15F launcher hopkick, so it's more vulnerable to being hit by one of the launcher options from HBS?

    Marduk used to be bigger, but never quite bears/jack size. He takes combos like an average character.

    Bears can't technically block from HBS, but they can cancel it nearly instantly and block from there. So if a bear wants to bait and block something as part of the stance mixup, they totally can.

    If there is anything that can be learned from Tekken, it’s that tier lists are TRASH.

    I'm not saying Marduk is useless, I'm playing him myself. However, between him being not super popular, historically mid tier, and slightly weaker than previous incarnations, you're not going to see him much. You're going to see a metric fuckload of high level AKs. There's only gonna be a couple Marduks.

    so I know plenty of y'all are Smash-apathetic but I think there's one thing of relevance to all fighting game players with this game

    this game has maybe the best CPU players I've ever seen, it feels like a landmark in AI design for a fighting game

    they look and feel like human players in a way that is just downright spooky

    The new Smash actually looks interesting to me. There are a lot of system changes that seem to change gameplay in a fundamental way.

    But I don't have a Switch yet and won't for a while with the rumors of a new version on the horizon.

    @Knob tell the truth you just want Marduk to be Lili in tournaments.

    And it might just happen

    Lili=Pools Trap. She’s played, but not overwhelmingly so, but more importantly she has shenanigans, and if no one is ready for her shenanigans she’s an auto Top 8.

    I think Marduk’s gonna be similar in that regard.

    I think I would have a much easier time playing Smash if it had a control option where running was done by holding a button like in Mario, dashes were done by double-tap. Even if it meant losing granularity of air control and DI, I'm just so awful at dealing with the analogue control scheme (specifically how dashing and smashing is triggered by suddenly swinging the stick) of Smash in spite of having played it casually with friends for ages. I think I'm just too set in how I played traditional platformers along with traditional fighting games, in spite of the fact that I love the analogue stick for 3D movement in any 3D game.

    Will new smash have control options like Rivals of Aether? E.g. full tilt + attack just results in tilt attacks, smash gets its own button.

    That's part of why I like Rivals a lot but keep bouncing off of smash

    If you get a chance, give Rivals of Aether a try. They solved it by giving you the option to use different buttons for your tilts and smashes... and it’s something I hope they’ll add the SmashUlt at some point.

    Iirc, smash 4 let you set the second stick to do tilts on press (no buttons)?

    I think tilts on the second stick is banned in 48 of the states, and restricted in the last 2.

    So why are people saying Gigas is dead(er) now that Marduk is out?

    Because since Gigas has a couple of Marduk's moves, people think Gigas and Marduk obviously play the same.

    Same reason people are trying to say King is dead since AK is so good, as if they have anything remotely to do with each other in terms of playstyle.

    Kuma is dead because Panda is the world champion.

    Not in smash 4, or brawl, and I don't expect that to change

    You can make the c-stick a tilt stick or a smash stick but im pretty sure you cant take smashes or tilts off the main stick

    That problem is solved by hitting the control stick like you're trying to break it whenever you wanna do a smash attack

    it's stronger that way, I swear

    Man, what are their problems with just putting things on buttons? I'm hoping they'll have more adaptable control schemes on the pro controller

    Let me know if you run into any trouble with him. His slow moveset can make it hard on defense, but there are a few tricks to dealing with that.

    Day 1 Marduk with no rage and no walls/floorbreaks sees:
    70 damage from d/f+1
    75 damage from f,f+1+2 throw
    80 damage from CH uf+3
    87 (!!!) damage from CH b+2

    So the right answer is to just let Marduk score normal hits on you or something

    Not that anyone else is watching the game awards, but sonic fox just won esports player of the year. And he is making his acceptance speech in full fox uniform.

    And he ended his speach with 'I'm super gay.'

    Nicely done, sonic fox.
