That said I'd like everyone to know that bomb launching was discovered and crafted by Savestate and not Aklo. Felt the vid might be misleading in that regard.

I calculated it and Link actually is the worst overall across the series out of the original 12. He's worse than Kirby and Jigglypuff, they're low tier in 3 games but are saved by being top tier once. I mained Link in Smash 4, his kit has a lot of cool stuff that makes him a unique character. He has a high skill ceiling which leaves a lot of room for potential.

I think one of the many unknown great things to happen during 2020, due to obvious reasons, was not only the creation of Slippi but the incentive for otherwise underappreciated characters to finally have a way to feed on matches even if it takes many losses to finally understand how they could actually be viable. Looking from the outside, Smash has always had this unique place of being a locals game where most of what becomes the norm has to be developed by going cross country to any number of these tournaments or events or reading external forum posts/guides written by the people who could afford to do that legwork. It's insanely valuable in itself and probably why cool narratives like the 5 gods could exist, but the data was always limited. There was a time when you had your KoreanDJ's who had to money match in order to get ahead or entire regions of the world like Japan that would be dismissed unless considerable effort was made by top players to explore those places to see what the Smash community could be like. For all the hardships this game has faced, do in no small part because Nintendo is a dinosaur to borrow Woolie's analogy, it has the best grounds to never truly die now. It has it's past glory built on the underground, where meeting people and word of mouth developed most of what the meta was initially... and now it has the traditional aspect of every other fighting game where grinding against an infinite number of faceless players from around the world, and in many of our cases getting reck for a long time till we get good, is going to challenge that offline norm for the better. It really needs both of those things to have a future. This game is far from solved and people are still passionate about it.

Even with that tech, their weaknesses still make it hard for them to compete with the top tiers played by the best players. At the end of the day, you have to be able to consistently win neutral exchanges. It turned out that Yoshi was a good enough character, that if you mastered his tech you can go really far.
