I've used keyboard to play other smash games competitively. The only problem is short hopping is harder to do through emulator.

I think Ichigo is at least top 3, if not the god tier of 0.9b. just because of his fair wavadash mechanic, or waveflash as I like to call it. He just has more options than most characters in the neutral and punish game, along with three spike moves.

Eh, doesn't he seem a bit slow with his attacks? And only average vertical recovery? I do think that he becomes a lot better this demo, but being top tier is unlikely.

i think this is the first demo where there is no clear #1 or k tier

i think it may be mk but honestly i'm not sure

That's definitely a good ultimate balance goal. Let's hope you're right.

I can totally agree to that. As I've been saying in the F2U Skype group, this is the most balanced demo I've played so far. While I can feel characters that are better or worse than others, the balance is kept in check pretty well and I feel as though nearly any character can be viable.

My thought on the best character right now is either MK, ZSS, or Sora. They all have amazing combo games and have tools to gain easy stage control. MK has his many jumps to utilise his great aerials, ZSS has her general attack/grab range, and Sora has Flow Motion combined with Thundaga.

I frequently use the keyboard, and I'm a tap jumper.

But it kind of sucks because it makes short-hop up airs with the Falcon impossible. But hey, I still do great with him.

If you quickly double-tap up, you will short-hop only. On the second tap, you can hold up. This is how you short-hop with having Tap-Jump on with a keyboard.

SH Uairs arent impossible, just do short hop > C-stick up.

Using C-stick with keyboard makes doing stuff like that MUCH easier omg

You can also do it without using the C-stick but it's harder.

Like the others said I like this. I know one character will always be seen in a more negative light but if you could squeeze the space between all of the characters to make them about equivalent that would be sweet! That way if you like Peach or Link you don't have to falter. good job.

What do you guys think is a move for sonic that can connect into his new side special. As most people know by now that sonic side special now functions like wolf's side special in brawl and PM.

FThrow > SideB works, Mikeman.

I think Link should be in the top 3. Also, I think Mario is in the top 5.
