so glad I didn't have to re-download my DLC to get Joker. I'm finally updated with my DLC.

Now can we get some damn home run derby already?

Was Corrin's Up B always a decent kill option?

Maybe it has more to do with me practicing this on the Mementos stage, but her Up B definitely doesn't veer me uncontrollably to the point where it was a god damn liability using it for damage

I think he was buffed overall no?

Interesting. Videos are actually uploaded to the Smash Ultimate channel. I wonder how long it will last until hackers upload porn to an official Nintendo Channel lol

Some thoughts about Joker:

-Gun can be used for recovery as it gives him an invincible air dash every second or so. Doesn't use up his normal airdodge, but it does seem to stale his defensive options like an air dodge would.
-Seems to have about the same movement speed of Marth with a falling speed of Falco.
-Unlike with Ivysaur, his tether up-B does not require him to be facing the ledge in order to connect with it. He can also go past the ledge and still connect his up-B. He can also use it multiple times like Ivysaur.
-Percentage doesn't seem to matter with his down-B charge thing. He can take a Falcon Punch at 100% and still not get knocked out. Seems to be full super armor.
-His dash attack looks literally exactly the same as ZSS's f-smash?
-Jab is frame 4. Not bad for a disjointed move. No multi-jab.
-He does not have a spike unless his Persona is out. Then, his d-air spikes.
-Smashes are rather standard, although up-smash looks like it can cover every tech option on the Battlefield platforms. F-tilt is a nice poke, u-tilt seems to be very disjointed but is totally unsafe on whiff/block, and d-tilt is like Cloud's.
-Most of his aerials are really quick. F-air is frame 7, b-air is frame 6, u-air is frame 5. N-air seems to have like a million active frames. He seems like he'd be very good at edgeguarding.
-Throws are unaffected by his Persona. Seems to have good throws at low percents (u-throw -> u-tilt-> u-air and d-throw -> f-air seem true) but doesn't have any kill confirms or kill throws to speak of.
-He has a wall jump for some reason.

The u throw seems really hit and miss, I think the safer option to land is dtilt + utilt + upair.

I got mine downloaded and the content is actually working (Which I did not expect; my younger brother cannot access any of the new DLC).

Didn't realize so many people had issues with the update. Everything downloaded without a hitch for me. On shitty Wi-Fi, even!

I'll probably buy Joker sometime later this week.

One thing you learn when get involved in fighting games is that you ignore what pro players think about the game.

Not saying he's necessarily wrong, but Zero is no stranger to having ill-informed opinions.
Oh I never say those things with the assumption that it's going to hold. I just like to follow the discovery process where the right opinions evolve from the wrong in the early days.

I honestly kinda agree with Zero, at least with my night-one experiences with the character. Joker's kill potential is pretty limited without Arsene out, but once he's in play, things just become so much more favorable for him.

Guess I'm not getting to download it tonight. Glad I didn't set aside a lot of time for this.

Also, in the Nintendo Switch app's section for this game, the stage thumbnails look a bit dark. Looks like they forgot to apply the gamma correction to it?

How could there POSSIBLY be so many people trying to download it that the servers are still crashed at 1 in the morning? Will this even be fixed by tomorrow?

Ah wow, 1am just about and the download still won't start. I haven't seen the Switch fail this bad at a download before.

Looks like the kill threshold for Joker's Final Smash is pretty low. I just watched him end a fight against a Richter at 52% with the full dramatic finish KO and everything.

Plays pretty well to me, not enough SMT influence baked into his kit but whatever. I guess it would have been too much work to give him a handful of personas that he can switch around ala Pokemon trainer.

Like how his standard special works at least.

Finally grabbed the DLC itself after reconnecting the download like a billion times. It was at 100% for at least 10 attempts.

Even Splatoon 2 launch wasn't anywhere near this bad, I had that running within like 20 minutes which was frustrating but understandable. This is a DLC update for a game, and it's been FOUR HOURS.
