"Oh no! He's criticizing the game! Stone him!"

It would be much appreciated if you would actually listen to what I have to say before you start whining.

I'm not saying Little Mac is the worst character (far from it) and I'm not saying he is my most hated character. That would be Rosalina. And lastly, I'm not saying Smash 4 is a bad game. In fact, I love it. But there is no game without its flaws.

So what do I mean by "Little Mac is a representation of everything I hate about Smash 4"? Well, let's look at Little Mac's attributes and talk about each one individually.

• Super armor
• long jab combo
• Moves with practically no ending lag
• A move that is perfectly capable of killing in one hit

Super Armor

I hate super armor. If I find an opening in your defense and I successfully hit you, I should be rewarded. Not punished. It's like if your dog were to learn a new trick and rather than just give him a treat and a cheerful "good boy!", you punch him in the face. Super armor is just not a good mehanic and makes the game feel less rewarding and more unfun.

Long Jab Combo

Jabs should be hit hit hit and be done with it. Instead, a lot of jabs in this game are hithithithithithithit and won't let you escape until that final blow smacks you away. By then, you have an unreasonable amount of damage from someone who was just holding down a button. (Little Mac's does around 20%.) So many characters in this game have jabs like that and it's so irritating. Sure, you might be able to escape if at the right angle, but usually the jab "pulls" you in and won't let you escape. You can mash every button until the cows come home, but it almost ever works.

Moves With Practically No Ending Lag

This one grinds my piss more than anything else. Why do so many characters have a bunch of moves that are basically unpunishable? I'm looking at you, Cloud. I undertstand that there are moves that are fast as shit and moves that are slow as ass. It makes the game more balanced and diverse. But there comes a time where there are just too many moves that have no ending lag. In fact, plenty of slow moves have very little ending lag such as Roy's neutral B. Take what I say next with a grain of salt.
You use a move-->You miss--> I punish you.
This is how it should usually go. Of course, this is subjective as distance, skill, and speed should be taken into account. What I'm saying is there shouldn't be a move that you can just spam over and over again and never get punished, right?

A Move That Is Perfectly Capable Of Killing In One Hit

The KO punch. Fuck this move. Calling this move overpowered would be an understatement. This move is so broken, Bob the Builder couldn't fix it. "But it takes a long time to charge and it is easy dodge!" Bullshit. I don't care how long it takes to charge. The fact that you can just press one button and win the game is fucking bullshit. Sure, it's easy to dodge and he can lose it if you can hit him enough, but if the Little Mac player knows how to test my patience and make me wiff a move, I die. You can make one mistake that just costs you a stock and possibly the whole game. And people thought Cloud's limit was stupid.

There. I just typed up an essay on everything I hate about a game I love. And I did it only using one character as an example. When it comes to bullshit, Little Mac is the bullshittiest.

Edit: Stay mad everyone. I love how easily pissed off you all get. So pathetic.
