i dont play little mac anymore in smash ultimate personally, but im gonna be honest here... he needs a buff major bad. theres too many issues using him, and i will detail all the problems he suffers that im aware of below...
#1 horrid recovery this is almost immediately obvious when you use him; you get knocked off the map, try to get back up and this is absolutely the most infuriating thing when using little mac. Even moderately off the map and he doesnt even need to get air combo'd or death spiked to lose one stock. This is practically ruinous for anyone who plays online, and honestly, its even bad solo
#2 punching bag nuetral B Another one thats easily risky, though not as terrible as the above. You can never even charge this 50% or all it takes is to get grabbed to be cancelled out entirely. Useless in multiplayer unless you get a lucky shield break on the other person. The only time this probably hits apart from that is any incidence of AI stupidity... seriously, its too easy for even a non expert like me to avoid this. I just jump over him or dodge behind him and boom, free hit... nothing to it at all
#3 trash hitzones and near zero aerials no idea how the heck you keep people off the cliff with him either because none of his hitzones are good for this. His aerial attacks also have very minimal reach. And why would you aerial with him off the cliff when its going to end up being suicide anyways? Youre just going to end up with a -1 for another -1 on both sides which just ties together... and if you end up getting pummeled bad even a couple times you obviously cant afford this evened exchange so to speak...
These problems are why i stopped running little mac in ultimate like forever ago. Ive tried a number of different characters and ended up a proud sephiroth and byleth main even though i rarely play online. Regardless, its not hard for me to see why little mac needs to get buffed. I really dont know why people called him OP some time ago with all of these easily exploitable disadvantages he has... you dont have to work nearly as hard as you normally would to beat him because of his garbage jumping power and terrible recovery. Seriously, you can sit at the cliff and he just hopelessly falls to his death. And he has no reliable hitzones to make up for these weaknesses (or much of anything to cover them tbh). Nintendo, please buff him. Hes too underpowered and its glaringly obvious... please
