SSB for Wii U Just some things after testing out Corrin

[3905]

So I've been playing Corrin for a while (all day actually) and I thought I'd share some things I discovered with them (them bc 2 genders)

• Dtilt > Utilt > Usmash works at 0%
• Fsmash kills really early at the very tip of the attack
• Fair is a good spacing tool
• Side B is great if you pin the opponent, which lets you act in 4 ways (Front Attack, Back Attack, Jump, Cancel)
• Side B can also be helpful when trying to recover (Side B into wall, Jump, Up B.)
• Recovery can be somewhat of a hassle if launched horizontally
• Counter can kill pretty early if you counter a smash attack.
• Dthrow can kill at over 150% (unreliable)

As far as matchups are concerned, they aren't too troubled by characters that do extreme combos, but projectiles might be a problem. I'm not too sure about where they are on the tier list, but honestly I think they're a really good character to play with, I had lots of fun with them!

These are some dank skills for a dragon born. All hail Corrin! But, really, a down throw killing at over 150% and a flipping early kill tipper side smash is amazing. Guys, im going to call it, corrin is going to be a lot higher on any tier list than we thought.I mean, these stats are amazing, for real i think we are all going to have one heck of a time with him. Hail Corrin!

I agree, Corrin is a lot better than I thought they would be! I love spacing and zoning out the opponent with them and the killing tipper just adds to the satisfaction!
All hail corrin! ^_^

So, he's good against Bayonetta, weak against Ness and Lucas. How would you rate him for weight (Light weight like Marth, normal like Mario or heavy like Link)?

So i am super happy, while i wanted more non human characters i'll stay with Corrin because i absolutely love fire emblem and half Dragon is the best i'll get.

also i completely disagree with the launched horizontally point.
Bair/Bair/UpB has gotten me back to stage most of the time.

Probably between Mario and Link, I've been able to survive so many things that would normally kill even with DI.

I should try that, thanks for bringing that up!

After a Bair immoderately hold the stick in the direction of the stage to get the maximum distance.

Oh I see. Thanks Rath!

I got a rage kill countering Lucas' Up-Smash at less than 30%

The only real problem I see with Corrin is players not being Able to space properly. Corrin works best against characters with weak air games, heavy weights, or opponent that can easily be read. For example, I managed to perform a JV3 with Corrin against ganondorf. That ganondorf was a very good player none the less. Was also the only character I've been able to win a match with without taking damage.

Also about spacing, try and bait them with a fully charged neutral special or use your dragon lunge wisely as you can get away fast.
