Plant is fantastic so far, she feels so good to play. I'm working on getting my spike timing right with her, but she has so many tools to play with!

Guess ill update it tonight to try this out.

It's girl? I always thought it was a guy

Later in the year.

I'm glad they aren't messing with it too much. I've been loving the variety of characters seen in tournaments so far and most character feel viable to a certain extent.

Since the roster is as closely balanced as post-patch Sheik and pre-Bayo Smash 4, I think incremental changes are a good start. There is no definitive best character and there have been a variety of tournament winners. I mean, Tweek and Gluttony have great Warios, MKLeo's Ike is crazy, Nairo and Dabuz are great with Palutena, then you have other great players who play characters like Wolf, Pichu, Yoshi, Fox, Snake, etc.

It's kinda nuts how many different matchups I have seen so far almost 2 months into the game. Now, we have Genesis coming up soon and that will be an interesting showcase on what the meta looks like at this time.

Palutena's Guidance for Piranha Plant uses she/her, it's canonically a female (at least the one in Smash anyway)

i actually double checked. the "she" that Palutena is referring to is actually Viridi. Piranha Plant is genderless
