All Hi! I'm CT | ESAM, multi-game smash threat (Specializing in Brawl/PM). Innovator of characters. ASK ME ANYTHING

You can ask me anything ranging from tournament stories to character stuff (Hopefully I understand the character well enough) to anything else you can think of!

If you leave hate for Brawl it will be ignored

I'll be answering questions for between 1-1.5 hours.

He's pretty bad. He has certain MUs where he excels at, but he's bad.

Giving Samus any more buffs would be unfair. Her recovery getting nerfed makes sense and her zair should be nerfed. Everything else is LITERALLY perfect, everything I would ever want.

Can you give some examples of good Olimar MUs?

Just MUs where you have to go get close to do anything. Kirby and Pikachu probably aren't bad.

oh and what are the uses for her zair in onstage neutral?

Zair is, IMO, the best move in the game. It shuts down non-fully charged projectiles (Inculding banana), it reaches like halfway across the stage and it is just...stupid. It makes your opponent approach really slowly or by air, in which case she has uair or ice fair.
