I went with Diddy Kong because that's what Abadango called his best, but ya, I could honestly call him top 2 best Fox/top 5 20 other characters. He's Larry Lurr's Japanese counterpart (quite literally in some circumstances, Fox, Sheik).

Cloud's Fair looks like it spikes about as much as Fox's Shine spikes, which is to say you can thank gravity for the downward trajectory. I guess that is called a spike but w/e. Bicycle kick hitboxes on a disjointed forward air is still nice regardless...
I'm looking forward to playing Cloud, Wolf, and Shovel Knight in Smash 4.

No Cloud's fair from the trailer looked like it spikes the same way Mario's does. It straight up sends you downwards and in a tech position.
Only one word is appropriate:
"INCREDIBLE!"
So much hype.
His hair should've made that obvious.

I've clearly been reading too much Smash stuff because I spent a few seconds thinking about which aerial attack "hair" is.
Q: It's Square-Enix that owns the rights to FF7/Cloud, correct? FF has mostly been a Sony franchise, but there have been the DS Remakes+ Enhancements as well. I still imagine someone at Sony is raging because Cloud was one of the central chars that put PS on the gaming map.
Well, Nintendo also put Final Fantasy on the map to begin with.
Not that it matters, Sony has effectively no power over Square-Enix's copyrights/trademarks anyways, not that they'd bother to fight that considering how immeasurably small their console division is compared to the rest of their company as a whole. This isn't even a blip on their radar.

Sony doesn't have any rights to Cloud or FF7 at all. Being on someone's system does not mean they have any rights to your ip, or that you can't put that game on other systems (which 7 was).
And they have no place being mad when they fucked up and only put lame characters in All-Stars. It's not like Smash stole Cloud. Sony didn't pursue that.

Sheik's frame data has always been great. It's a part of her character. It's not going anywhere.
Everyone vote MK Leo for reddit's sponsored Genesis III players thread so he can destroy a top 32 seed player in pools/probably place really well.
Project M has been permanently discontinued as of today, and you can no longer download it on their site (which now consists of nothing but the cancellation announcement). They claim it has nothing to do with getting a C&D, though they refuse to explain in greater detail.
Here's something that may explain what happened. https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=3b7eec6987fc34ffb742566ddedfaebf&oe=56EC6EF9

The full story about why Project M was shut down, according to Mewtwo 2000.
tl;dr version is that the mod's continued existence was a ticking legal time bomb. Nintendo actually has grounds to sue, not just send a C&D, and the team obviously cannot afford letting that happen.

It's a real shame PM got taken down so suddenly without any notice, and it's sad the dev team may have felt enough pressure to nuke the very thing they put so much effort into (if the rumors are to be believed). I wish the best for them, and for all the members of the PM community.
Pikachu and Sheik are his worst MUs in my experience. They tend to dominate the neutral against him pretty easily and can zone and outspace him out to avoid most of Falcon's approach options. Falcon's subpar ground game also add to these factors. Both have amazing offstage game as well: with CF's average recovery, he's easily gimpable.
Pikachu has the insane mobility, speed and a decent projectile so CF can't really go ultra agressive against him, has issues with punishes because of Pikachu's super safe moveset, and has issues comboing him because of his small model.
Sheik is pretty obvious but well she has the freaking needles - which is most likely the best projectile of the game - and outranges most of Falcon moves. Also Falcon being a fast faller + heavy character makes him a super easy target for Sheik bread and butter combos. Needless to say, Sheik's frame data is close to flawless so the punish game for Falcon is even harder than Pikachu.
If you are talking about doubles options for coverage I'm afraid I don't have enough knowledge of 2x2, but the Mario bros usually counters Pikachu decently (especially Luigi). Sheik, well... good luck.
Nah, I was thinking about picking up characters that can beat them in 1v1. Apparently Mario (and Doc by extension) does well against campy characters but I'm not too sure about Sheik.
Maybe ZSS for the Sheik matchup as well?
