Banjo needs to be very patient and attack when the opponent makes a mistake or be campy if Banjo can't find an opening. He's kinda like Sonic in a sense. In Banjo Tooie, boss fights are about running away from the bosses until they expose themselves. It also take about 6 mins to beat the Hag 1 in Banjo Tooie as well. Breegul Blaster can be used to pressure opponents. One trick I discovered is that Banjo can edge guard with nair, and if Shockspring jump isn't enough he can use Wonderwing to make it back on stage.
@BBB-pe3ip4 ай бұрын
Comparing him to Ultimate Sonic (the most hated character overall) is just insulting. It's no wonder Ultimate Banjo also gets hate. He shouldn't just run away and spam grenade throws. This character needs a rework to be more accurate (and less campy). I love the Banjo-Tooie reference, but I don't think you can determine the campiness of a character based on a few boss fights. Plenty of aggressive characters have long boss battles, where you run away or wait to counterattack. It's just the nature of boss fights. Honestly, I don't think Banjo plays like himself in Smash. I always played him aggressively in his N64 games. I would rush down my enemies with ease. Meanwhile, d-air and dash attack feel weak, Breegull Blaster and f-tilt can't be used together, other egg types don't exist, Kazooie's jumps feel underwhelming, b-air feels wonky and non-intuitive, Flare Blitz/Wonderwing is used as a "recovery", and much more. It's like the developers never played his games. His playstyle shouldn't be a weird grenade-grabber who runs away. It's strange and uncanny, like they combined preexisting assets from other characters, instead of creating a brand-new character. I hope he comes back in the next game with a more accurate playstyle.
@orangeslash16674 ай бұрын
@@BBB-pe3ip The good news is that I was to use Banjo to beat mob Smash in precisely 2:06 mins, with Sonic being 2:11 mins. In other words mob smash represents characters fighting enemies in regular level while one on one fights represent boss fights. The harder the fight, the more represents the longer boss fights like the Hag 1. You see Banjo is a platforming character so comparing him to Terry, Hero, and Steve would be incorrect. It makes more sense to compare him Peach, Diddy, Dr Mario, and King DeDeDe. Especially since Banjo's low air speed makes it difficult for him to be aggressive.

As a Yoshi main, Cloud is definitely not the worst match-up. I personally wouldn't even call it unfavorable. Eggs are really strong against Cloud, especially off-stage, down tilt kills at almost any percent because of how horizontal the angle is, and Yoshi is able to get out of the air against Cloud pretty easy. Off the top of my head, the worst matchups I can think of are Bayonetta, Incineroar, and Byleth.

Japan has smashmate and I think the US had smash ladder or anthers ladder? The problem is that the "online is bad & laggy" stigma will never fully disappear. I agree with the comment though.
