Spread the word.

This.

But while it's back on my mind, can anyone explain why they declare a winner if the match goes to Sudden Death, but let it play out in a situation like the double Diddy-cide even though one player has already hit the blast zone?

i'm guessing its because the star kos can already affect the match in other ways

He should Z-drop melons too. They're almost as strong as keys, but easier to get.
I really want to see Pac-Man take this, he's my second-favorite character.

Pac man is easily my most frustrating match up to deal with as Rosalina so I'm sorta pleased to see it's playing out that way at Apex top 8.

My least favourite thing about competitive Smash :negative:

e: At least they fought. I can't remember if it was the invitationals or whatever, but I watched a match where one dude literally just ran away for a whole minute or something instead of fighting because the opponent had a higher %.

loving Pac Man. Every time I've played that match up, neither player has really been able to go on offense. Both of them punish the other badly for getting aggressive.

but I think the top 8 should drop the time limit and incentiveize actual killing.

I think rosalina can absorb the bike, so that might not have been the best plan

but like, if you're against Rosaluma, you drop goddamn Pac-man and pick up someone else. Like, I dunno, Sonic, or someone else rushdown-y with good grabs and speed and poo poo. Falcon, maybe. I think EVERY comp-level SSB4 player should have at least a working understanding of Captain Falcon.

It doesn't change anything. If there was no time limit, Debuzz would still probably win because he was ahead and can react instead of be aggressive in a game that does not reward aggression that well.

Yoshi is probably her hardest match up. His wide aerial hit boxes destroy Luma and suck Rosalina in. Also his running grab bypasses Luma and is hard to punish with Rosalina.

Neither of those characters is good enough at rushdown to beat the other one playing defense.

Rosalina could do it pre-nerf.
