  • Does Hero get the love he deserves? We always thought he wasn't worth the second look, but Japanese Hero main Akakikusu has been making some waves in the Smash Ultimate community. Is he proving us wrong? Well, Marss, WaDi, and ESAM are here to figure it out.

      I think it's a one time thing. Hero is too slow to match up to most of the top tiers in this game.
      Once you learn to read his spell list as he pulls it, you can shut down his options

      I think the hero was just that good. I also feel like when the guy got crits that's the main reason he got a couple kills and major damage but I think this guy is just that good. Any hero could do that but what most do is spam whatever loves they see first on the magic menu thing

    1:11 I main Hero, and tbh reading and memorizing the spells took a bit getting used to and using them quickly under pressure. Usually it takes me about 1/2 of a second to identify 2-4 of the spells in the menu, then pick whichever spell I see that I feel most keen on using depending on where the opponent is. Sometimes I pick too quickly which just results in "Random bullsh*t go!" But other than that I've memorized all 22 spells

    5:43 this exact reason is why joker is one of my least favorite matchups, his guns are probably the best thing in the entire game at edge guarding hero, they prevent zoom, and if you try to up B it just cancels it until you slowly fall into the void. it's also extremely annoying when he has arsene because then it makes it extremely difficult to use menu. Im not sure how akakikusu beat zackrays joker, and it will probably never happen again, but i really hope to see more big hero players. characters got potential, people just havent optimized him

    I think he's a mid tier character normally with the ability to be a hightier with even 1 buff and a top 1 character when he starts throwing things like Kaboom, Thwack, Kamakaze, Magic Burst, Hocus Pocus, Neutral B 3, all 3 buffs and Crits.
    When a Hero is just getting completely oppressed, he can't menu and he's just getting out frame datad, his bairs and nairs are getting stuffed or baited out his flaws really show like a sore thumb but with Ultimate's engine this is surprisingly not a consistent gameplan and you're going to be forced to deal with Hero playing his game too more often than not. The thing about Hero is his RNG "bullshit" isn't that uncommon and in a full 5 game, 2-3 set Hero will probably steal like 7 or 8 stocks with his super gimmicks completely uncontested and when you look at it like pre nerf Wario could steal 5 stocks in a 5 game set this number becomes very impressive.
    On top of the lunacy that is all of this stuff Side B 2 is a contender for 1 of the best moves in the entire game and multiple characters would KILL for this move.

    This is a hot take, but I think every character is top tier in this game, I feel like Japan is simply a lot more innovative and creative with how to play characters on a competitive level, and as such constantly push the boundaries of what characters can do, making any character they show to be good a “new” top tier, when they’ve been good all along and no ones really realized

    Me: *pushes up glasses* Well actually, in Persona 5 his gun is just a model, and he can only use it in the Metaverse because his enemy thinks they're being shot, without any actual bullets being used. So it's a psychological attack, not a physical or energy-based one. Totally *snort* different.

    People still don’t know that joker’s gun counts as a disjoint and not a projectile?

    Didny know Wadi was so quirky. Love him as part of panda team. Wish they did a conference call tho so they could play off each other

    Hero is a very solid character- on a good day. Imo the only reason he isn't a top tier is because he can be inconsistent. Rng is never something you want to bring into a competitive setting imo, but hey, when it works it pops off!

      You have to have a massive fucking brain to play him tbh

    most hero players play inconsistently but akakikusu play consistently that enables him to be top tier
