[@sneakyblu3]

Hi Riddles, I was thinking I could possibly give some advice on when you’re recovering high. I’m not sure how well this would work in more professional matches but it works well for me. Basically, whenever you’re recovering high you tend to directional air dodge towards the ledge. This seems like it works well, but when you do it every time it’s really easy to read and get a punish on especially if your timing is slightly off. What I like to do instead, is not do the same air dodge every time, but instead wait until the opponent tries to attack, and then react to it with a neutral air dodge, and if you don’t snap the ledge then just use up b. This works on most moves characters can use to punish a high recovery, but is a bit harder for quick moves like down tilt or jab. Again, I’m not sure if it would be effective in more professional matches, because they would likely be better at mixing up their punish timings and also probably be able to go for a 2 frame if you up b after not grabbing the ledge. It would be cool to see you try this if it works!

[@K0DA._.]

Tbh, I really wish Nintendo just really kept up Ultimate support. Dropping the game so soon after DLC was quite possibly the dumbest move they could’ve made, after the last DLC of the previous game, being Bayonetta, pretty much killed competitive Smash 4. They could just tone down some of the intagibility/armor Kazuya has or just make it so EWGF doesn’t interact with shields how it currently does and Kazuya would be 20x easier to deal with. However, even as he is currently, it’s really just a matter of learning the matchup. I can understand the Steve ban, but Kazuya is definitely not the first character after Steve that should be considered for a ban.

[@raijinxfujin7314]

I love smash players crying for kaz to be banned. He’s exactly how akuma feels in t7, and we tekken players don’t ban him because of how difficult it is to do the nutty combo damage. Also he’s harder than most smash characters and they took the tekken concept of difficult characters are made strong as a reward for picking up a character you have to put time into. You watch these matches and most players get kaz to high percentages before he manages to get going so it makes sense that he hits hard because against pros even getting close as kaz isn’t easy at all. If you want to make it more fair then make ewgf an actual just frame instead of having the extra frame he does because admittedly ewgf is a lot easier in smash than tekken to pull off. Edit* I bought smash when kaz got released and I came in as a tekken player and yeah ewgf is easy in smash for me it took me 3 weeks and I got into smash elite I also did the same with ganondorf in that time as well so i do understand the game some what but smash got boring to play quickly for me so i rather watch it but for sure kaz is strong but far harder to use than a lot of these smash characters
