All right, I am sure that you all have been there. You are fighting a particular person online, and you are kicking their butt with nearly every character you pick. Then, without warning...they pick THAT character. The character that annoys you, the one that you think is nothing more that a cheat code for smash bros. or perhaps just one you have not been able to figure the fighting style of. But suddenly, they are there. I actually just came from playing smash bros wii u at the time of this post. Before I came here the last 4 people I played did the exact same thing. Picked the exact same character after losing to me a couple times. Some of them just beat me up and the others just were really annoying. For me, that character was Cloud. Bayonetta used to be there and is still a character that I despise (for a number of reasons) but, the rage for this character seems to have died down and I almost never have to fight her. When I do, it's usually someone who doesn't fare very well against me and is just trying to get an edge. Some of them work, some not.
I feel like Cloud especially is way too powerful for his speed and range. Granted, his recovery isn't that great, but if he has a limit break stored up, there goes that disadvantage. It's just been really difficult for me to find a way around this character. The only time I feel like I have a shot of outdoing him is in neutral game, which usually doesn't last long. His disadvantage game is annoying. His advantage game will keep you in the air unless he screws up or doesn't play that way. And last but not least, the limit break moves. These make it so difficult because so many times I have just been tearing up the other cloud, and I'm at 50% or so, I miss like one hit and he's right there to blow me away with a stinking limit break move. It just doesn't feel fair that some who is already as powerful as he is can just luck you out like that. Especially when you were cleaning up a couple minutes ago.
There's probably going to be someone that sees this and just rolls their eyes, and says i'm just whining about it because i'm not that good. This is more of a rage post than anything, but I do feel like it is an issue in competitive online play. Feel free to talk about the characters that just infuriate you when you were having a good time. Thanks for putting up with my rant!
