Joker gets his Persona out and then deals ridiculous damage, killing with back aerial super early and using his fast movement and low-profile dash animation to remain elusive whilst punishing wrong moves from enemies. They are both very strong rushdown characters that also happen to have a sword and they have great combos. Olimar: Olimar was my second main in Brawl and PM, and his pluck is so fast in Ultimate. Pichu has fallen off the charts slightly since the baby rat’s early power level. Ultimate. What used to be a meme character is now one of my mains.

Aerial down b having less lag makes me love him even more.

Mii Brawler, like Gunner, has a host of potential movesets to choose from.

Lucario has gone from a pretty good character in brawl with decent representation, to a cheesy but still good character in 4 with bad representation, to a bad character with no representation in ultimate.
