Little Mac is widely considered to be one of the worst characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Though he has amazing ground moves and grounded attributes, he’s completely crippled by his extremely lackluster aerials and recovery options.
Still, it’s funny to think that Little Mac technically has the fastest aerial in the game with his neutral aerial (starts up in 2 frames). While its hitbox and power leave much to be desired, some players like to use this particular aerial to gimp recoveries thanks to its semi-spike properties.
Takeu_Man recently posted an amusing clip featuring a match between a Joker user and a Little Mac player. Things were looking bad for Little Mac in this match as both players were down to their last stocks. Additionally, Little Mac had more percent racked up while Arsene was active for Joker.
The Little Mac player opted to whiff punish Joker’s up smash with down tilt. This allowed him to follow up with a series of neutral aerials with momentum carrying both fighters off the stage.
Near the bottom, it looked as though Little Mac had won the match as the screen flashed red after Joker’s damage went from 68% to 70%. Unfortunately disaster struck for the Little Mac user.
We have to assume that Takeu_Man was the Little Mac user based on his Tweet. According to Google Translate, he said “I won’t do it again” in response to this event. As Doc Louis points out during Little Mac’s debut trailer for Super Smash Bros. 4, Little Mac “ain’t no air fighter” and this is the reason why.
