Garchomp

OP Garchomp has some moves that would absolutely work fine with this Garchomp with a few tweaks and A SIDE SPECIAL THAT CAN CANCEL INTO UP SPECIAL. Go into training and try to recover at around -16 on the grid from below. You can't can you? Not to mention Side Special being extremely exploitable since it ALWAYS goes a set distance from the ledge. It's not like it can go any further into the stage which I feel like would add more to make Garchomp actually a good character.

I want to love this character but... He. Sucks. Seriously. I don't know what other commenters are saying when they say he's "balanced" or "broken," but he is just outright bad. FAir only being 3% and has little to no knockback, Up Special literally not being able to be chained from Side Special and having no diagonal movement makes it very exploitable as a recovery, and the Neutral Special having absolutely no use. 6%, takes wayyyy too long to come out, and long ass cooldown. Really? Not to mention some moves having questionable hitboxes like Back Air. I feel like the OP Garchomp and this Garchomp should somehow reach in the middle to make an actual good version of this character because holy shit.

this garchomp needs a lot of work at first i thought he was cool but the more i play him the more im starting to see a lot of weaknesses and issues with the character and match ups basically sells it short for this character most of his specials are way too weak and punishing, his neutral game is lacking. It feels like a chore to play.

the ratings lied to me

which one we talking about accurate garchomp (op garchomp) or sucky garchomp?

I'd say Garchomp is very strong and close to more busted in most areas. 2 recoveries and 3 spikes is already very strong. Garchomp is also boosted by its inclusion of pretty easy to hit tipper attacks. I'd say the place where Garchomp lacks in is approaching and in combos. The lack of more combos is sort of remedied by early kill moves and strong damage per hit.

in my rivals group there's a dilemma on if Garchomp is good or not some say he's busted some say he's Balenced [which is my opinion] and some say he's weak

So I haven't seen anything on this move yet. What is the point of neutral B? As far as I can tell it's a low damage, high cooldown, slow moving projectile. The distance is like maybe half stage at best and doesn't have the greatest priority. I did notice the slight height boost it gives, but idk how worth it that is considering garchomps already good recovery. I also noticed that up b seems to be a little inconsistent with hitting most of the hits. I'd hit an enemy with the start up just for them to fall out of it.

There may or may not be one final update coming. Can you guess what I have planned?

@Thememingofisaac stay tuned
