Peachfags give her a bad name. She's overlooked because her notable float-cancel and dsmash are gone, but the whole float game remains intact. Really being able to abuse what you can do with her float in combination with her assrape autocancelled aerials (all of them, autocancelled all over the place) really means that float-cancelling, for all intensive purposes, is still in. Sakurai giveth, and Sakurai taketh away. Her options for killing were merely moved around, or adjusted for the whole brawl-dynamic.
I dont know, I dont see good peaches in videos. I see slow players making a big deal about combos on other slow players. Ever since (at least) melee, i've been watching videos (back when you got videos from file transfer over AIM) and putting myself in them and fighting in the match (lol, dont judge me). Peach's whole punish-game is really great now due to the lack of shield stun, all unsuccessful approaches yield a instafloat BAir (if you land behind, her booty reaches further now than in melee), or, if you land in front, a shieldgrab (to whatever), or a spaced, high-priority FAir (reach out and touch a bitch), depending on their spacing. If you're dumb enough to land right on me, instafloat NAir, or those cute, no-float-necessary, rising NAirs that were so popular in melee.
AND ANOTHER THING!People say she's improved in speed, but still slow. Fk that. Her speed didnt really hinder her performance in melee (she controlled space around her, fast attacks, lots of damage, she just couldnt chase you down with combos --- she didnt need to for the most part, knock you away and edgeguard), and any speed increase she gets is amazing. I just love the way she runs :3 To me, she's grinding those heels going for her kills. <3
Nerfs and general weaknesses that we cant change: FUCK YOU SECOND JUMP OF SHIT. The only thing that really gets me is this. If she's knocked under the stage (most will die) and still has her second jump, you really have to struggle to get back. You have to make it out (towards the underside of the ledge) as far as you can, then shoot up with your parasol and auto-sweetspot. Its not something commonly seen, but damn i hate her second jumpThey need FFXI-like updates to fix that
( (I've pretty much gotten over the slowness of the parasol-drop, the parasol as a whole is longer [for poking bitches trying to get in your way] and auto-sweetspotting the ledge gets me there safely. Until someone can precisely use the invincibility frames from grasping onto the ledge and dropping to intercept me coming up to grab it, i'm cool with the speed of her parasol-drop.)
Yall got me startedOh well, I hope people keep thinking she's crap, its always fun building a character from the ground up. (I was thinking yesterday how I CREATED PEACH'S FIRST SHIELD-PRESSURE GAME, then I thought I was crazy. But I know i've never seen it before, and I bet Mr. Mike G adopted it after our moneymatch [he was a slap-combo whore that taught me about the pwnage of her double slap AA combo :3] and made it well-known.)
I say again, yall got me started
edit: spelling error. if you see them, its because im typing this before i go to sleep!
