Why is anyone surprise that Joker isn't strong ?
P5 is a recent game. Since when has anything out of a new game been anything more than low midcarder.


Usually not even that. Even Sora and Kratos, two of our stronger post-2002 characters, struggled early. I think the only one who really hit the ground running was Amaterasu.


Not really, she was given a Ada Wong and Balthier as her opponents

I don't think it's going to be anywhere close to 5%.


No because that could even swing things so that Cloud beats Link or something crazy actually.

Link would have beaten Cloud by much worse than 55% back in 2013.

Ike has been siphoning all the broken-ness of of Cloud's aerials. Cloud still has Limit but Limit got nerfed like crazy, which also greatly hurts his recovery because Cloud's recovery is trash when Limit isn't up.


I think you're underestimating how fundamentally sound Cloud is. That speed and that moveset can't be made bad just by nerfing his aerials a bit. Not Top 3 anymore, but top 10 I think is still there unless other characters become more broken.

I can at best imagine them being around the same tier, and that's only if Ike really is good, cause Cloud will be.

Now, now, let's not be hasty.

Beating a Vincent that's clearly been trending downwards ever since his big win over Crono in 2007 is one thing. Beating Auron, who as best as I can tell has been fairly steady, is quite another.

I keep telling you, Mewtwo is only a "fraud" if you believe that Mewtwo did anything impressive on its own strength to begin with. Mewtwo was fueled by rallies to begin with; it's like saying L-Block was strong because of 2007.

Last time I checked his aerials were nerfed more than a bit (could be wrong on this).

The bigger issues are Limit and the structural changes to the game. Outside of his dumbass up air, Limit is Cloud's best tool and every time they nerf it he gets a good amount worse. Outside of losing killing potential, Cloud has one of the worst recoveries in the game without Limit, and less Limit opportunities = a lot more opportunities to gimp him.

I think the structural game changes will hurt him too. One of the best parts of Cloud is that he had a huge disjointed sword that somehow was still faster and had less landing lag than most other characters' aerials. A lot of characters (including Ike!) have had their landing lag reduced which will help them catch up to Cloud, because I doubt he gets any significant buffs in that area considering how good he was at that in Smash 4.

Cloud will be a trap character in Ultimate, who everyone who used him will jump on before they realize the alternatives swordies. And by that I mean Marth who looks completely busted.
