Agreed.I don't think he's op, but I think the KO punch is a little ridiculous.
Yeah... not all players are experts. Like me.JohnnyDelMidwest Said, From the perspective of a casual, Little Mac is crazy OP. It's kind of frustrating because I thought Nintendo knew that the majority of players are casual.
Yeah, his knock back is pretty OP. You can't get hit though you have to dodge his moves. The super armor is pretty bad too. you have to hit him AFTER he does a move, instead of before, otherwise the super armor will go into play._pig Said, I think he's a bit OP. Quite a few of his moves have super armor and ridiculous knockback. Personally, I think the KO Punch isn't such an annoying move. It's easy to dodge and easier to punish. The only problem I have with it is the charge. It gets charged from both hitting and being hit. Also, his counter seems better than almost all the others. That might just be me raging at Little Macs though.
Yeah, that seems like it would work well, Shield, Buster, and smash would work very well against Mac. Once he gets knocked off stage, it's pretty easy to kill LM. Shulk has like ZERO kill moves. Also, Pac-Man is a good counter due to his stalling and projectiles. And yes, Shulk:Mac would work in Shulk's favor.Mettie7 Said, Might just be me but Shulk beats Little Mac p well imo. Just use the smash art to gimp him off stage. You also have a counter to use against Mac's powerful attacks. WAAAYYY too early to say this but I think Shulk:Mac will be a pretty polar matchup
They do.And idk if most counters absorb projectile moves, I know Peach's does, but if the others don't like the FE swords and Shulk then Mac's shouldn't either.
Alright, I guess he can keep that then -.- haha. I'm not too fond of Little Mac. I like the character, but he's quite the annoying one to fight. I know most Ness characters use his dash for the simple combo, but thats not the case with MacThey do.
I mean, even if he does counter the projectile, you should be to far away to get hit, shouldn't you. Anyway, I don't finding him annoying to vs CPU (discluding Counter, so annoying) you just have to be very, very patienceAlright, I guess he can keep that then -.- haha.

You'd need to mention the pool of entrants for that to count for credibility. I placed first/second in two melee tournaments, myself, but there couldn't have been a dozen at either of them, so I didn't count it for much. XDI went to a tourney this saturday and fought 2 very competent little macs. All i had to do was play patiently and camp the edge of the stage. I would wait for an opportunity to back throw them and that was their stock every time. I got third just to reference my credibility.
The thing about that is that those tactics are very easy to punish, it just takes some intelligence. Although rolls and counters are much stronger than in previous iterations, you can still punish people who abuse it. The thing about little mac is that he has a very low learning curve, and he appeals to the newer smashers as a result. All you have to do is abuse his absolutely garbage air game and recovery and he becomes much less of a threat. One positive exchange in neutral on your part, and little macs stock is gone. I think people need to give the game some time for it to develop before placing characters in a tier list.Little Mac is such a low risk, high reward character, especially in a laggy match where you can literally only do f tilt and his smashes. No wonder anybody uses him, he is cheap and easy to play. Just always roll, counter in air. I literally used him once against someone and won with him only using like 6 attacks from him(jab, f tilit, smashes)
I completely respect that kind of outlook as well CharZane :] I wouldn't say you're wrong in wanting to make the best out of the character regardless of the scenario, tournament or not. I think my enjoyment with the move is lessened because of the "OP" rants about the move even though I'm aware I can brush it off and keep breaking jaws, I find in FG practicing without it makes for fun rounds.KO punch is in the game, it's a part of his moveset, so I use it. Tournament or no, it's not fair to anyone for me to self-impose arbitrary handicaps. I'm just as interested in learning its hitbox and timing as any other move, in any case...continued"
Sheik is even worse, Mac is one of the good characters such as ZZS,Yoshi,Lucario but he ain't Sheik and Rosalina level OP.Fast, Strong, Super Armor, KO punch, His new Aerial Gimp. He sounds pretty OP to me..
This thread isn't about Sheik or Rosalina though lol. And regardless, it doesn't change the fact that Mac is easy to use. You can play almost perfectly with Sheik and still lose because she has weak KO power unless it's ledge guarding or gimps. Lil Mac is very easy to play and gets free kills off his KO punch set ups and strong smashes with super armor. He's a strong character that has strong tools and is easy to use.Sheik is even worse, Mac is one of the good characters such as ZZS,Yoshi,Lucario but he ain't Sheik and Rosalina level OP.
I know what the thread is about, you called him OP when despite all these OP advantages he still pales incomparican to Sheik who can combo anything out of any throw, easily used needles which are insane in this game, she definitely has killing power especially when she has easy combo's anyone can pick up and pull off successfully. Like Rosalina Sheik doesn't really have glaring match ups unlike Mac.If Mac is OP then the person you main is on a whole different level, you can play perfectly with Mac but lose to Dedede or something see this can go both ways.This thread isn't about Sheik or Rosalina though lol.

I said they gave him OP mechanics. Super Armor on Smashes, c'mon. And his smashes are speedy. KO Punch pretty much guarantees a free win if you get the first kill because your KO punch will be up before you die (unless you get gimped). He is the only character in the game with a comeback mechanic. On top of that, in every other game the come back mechanics are meant for the loser to have a chance at coming back, and/or they have a meter bar for when you are aggressive. KO Punch fills up if he is doing damage AND when he gets hit. So a good Lil Mac will get an average of 1-2 KO punches per match (based off 2 stock games). He can win with one button. That is an overpowered mechanic. And again, this thread is not about Sheik, it is about Lil Mac. There can be more than one OP character and more than one OP mechanic, so continuing to talk about Sheik doesn't really prove anything because the question that this thread is asking is if Lil Mac is OP, not how he compares to other fighters.I know what the thread is about, you called him OP when despite all these OP advantages he still pales incomparican to Sheik who can combo anything out of any throw, easily used needles which are insane in this game, she definitely has killing power especially when she has easy combo's anyone can pick up and pull off successfully.

F-Smash requires proper spacing or else he'll completely miss, only his down smash is a problem for people who can't handle him.I said they gave him OP mechanics. Super Armor on Smashes, c'mon. And his smashes are speedy.
Or if your good enough get a hit on him then he loses it. There's times where the K.O punch doesn't actually K.O.KO Punch pretty much guarantees a free win if you get the first kill because your KO punch will be up before you die (unless you get gimped).
If you get caught by K.O punches then its your own damn fault, its got somewhat short range after a few seconds he loses it after taking one hit.He is the only character in the game with a comeback mechanic.

And again i know this thread isn't about Sheik, but i'm simply saying if you put Mac is an OP character than Sheik is a step above that i just find it ironic how you call Mac OP when you use someone like Sheik a lot(i think). From now on mac is OP so Sheik and Rosalina are BROKEN, cheers.That is an overpowered mechanic. And again, this thread is not about Sheik, it is about Lil Mac. There can be more than one OP character and more than one OP mechanic, so continuing to talk about Sheik doesn't really prove anything because the question that this thread is asking is if Lil Mac is OP, not how he compares to other fighters.
yet you call him OP. lol i'm done.I do not think Lil Mac is the best in the game, he just has some pretty big pros that no one else in the cast has and in the hands of a good player will dominate.
This! I thought I was the only one who saw him like this! I completely agree. If you're gonna play Mac, you gotta be Zen. Be chill. Sit back and wait. Y'know how Taoists tell you to chill out and "be like water"? "Let go" and all that stuff? That's how it is. That's Mac right there. Mac is chill. He's the chilliest dude in all of Smash, period. He waits like a monk. He strikes like a lion. He's just chillin there at his own, so you go and attack him. Next thing you know, he dodged your move and your character's already flying out of this screen on his way to land on Betelgeuse. That's how Mac plays. It's a waiting game. It's a stand-off. It's boxing. You ever watch a boxing match? Oh, no? Well, you ever play Punch Out? Ah, damn, no?Let me say this
Little Mac is probably the best designed Smash character since Olimar in equipping his playstyle from their games.
What makes Mac special is that he is boxer and one thing that people forget is that boxer don't jusmp around attacking. That's why Mac has terrible air game, to compensate you give him that power on the ground and he's more reministic of Snake in Brawl where he was a force of the ground. Super Armor is to give him a chance to not get knocked around easily.
Best way to play Mac is actually play him like a Punch Out game.
-Be patient and defensive
-Strike when necessary
-punish when there's an opening
-use the environment to your advantage
For Glory ruins that since Mac doesn't have to use platformers as more of a strategy and the playing field is up to how he fights in his games. Plus let's be frank, the throw and keep away strategy will work but people aren't stupid, Mac may not have the recovery options but that doesn't mean he's broken or useless.
What makes Mac great is that he's the ultimate extreme. High risk, high reward.
He's gonna have matchups where he's dominate (Mario, Lucario,Zelda, Samus, Link, Ike, Palutena and Pac-Man) and matchups where it will never be in his favor(ZSS, Sheik, Yoshi, Diddy, Robin, Marth/Lucina and Wario)
Besides, if anything Mac is balanced for Free for All and platforms and he's a perfect team mate in 2v2. Besides, don't worry about Mac, worry about everyone else including a certain blue hedgehog who has probably ended up more broken and easy access than Mac ever will
What's stopping you from just not doing that? Mac isn't the one forcing you to wait. You're choosing to do that yourself. He's a little different than other annoying playstyles like say...Keep away characters. Where you literally are forced to jump through hoops just to get close enough to hit them and then repeat the process over and over again until they die. Since Mac has to get close, there's hundreds of ways you can fight him, but you just choose to use the most boring way and then blame Mac.Even if Little Mac isn't OP, the fights with him are boring. I mean what is entertaining about playing a boring waiting and gimping game? Ugh. There is a reason i block people online who play him, no matter if I win or if I lose.
Lol, I think you have no idea what you are talking about, because most Little Mac player attack once with lagless ground moves and roll back. Furthermore, Little Mac thanks to his superior ground game has only his ground game approach, which naturally limits his gameplay style. As a Charizard nearly all my attack are useless expect maybe spacing tilits, godly Nair Flamethrower Rock Smash and of course the grabs. If being limited to so ""much"" attacks isn't boring for you, well, good for you.What's stopping you from just not doing that?
