Been with the series for a long time. Got Ultimate on launch day and have been playing regularly since. I’ve gone to a couple locals, but haven’t been in that scene for a while now (not enough free time). I mostly play casually with my coworkers on lunch anymore. My mains are Ganondorf and Byleth.
Byleth is so fun! Top bad they butchered his trailer when he came out
Not going to lie. I slept on Byleth for a good bit there. They’re just such a bland character in Three Houses. Mind you, I wasn’t one of those people that were mad they were added. Just wasn’t interested in picking them up. Then I saw some of the shenanigans people were pulling with that up-b and I gave them a shot. Instantly fell in love with the moveset.
I love playing Ganendorf. There's such a disparity between his ranking at top level and how powerful he feels to play. Playing him also taught me about tech chasing. Sure side-b -> down-tilt is a true combo, but its so much more rewarding to let them choose an option and then punish it. Learning how to do that was what finally made tech chasing click for me in general.
Nothing in gaming has made me feel more powerful than landing five flame chokes in a row. If only that high didn’t come with the soul crushing lows of being off stage…
It's the sad truth of the heavyweight lifestyle. I also play Bowser, and even Samus is prone to it :(
