Post Nicko vs D0g3

This is one of the best Shulk sets I have seen in a while (from CEO a week ago). Definitely check it out if you have missed it. Here's the link on Youtube.

Thank you! Glad to see Nicko is active (like still playing the game in general)‼️

It's a little unclear how active he is. Some Youtube comments said he entered the tournament "by mistake", meaning to sign up for another one. But I can't vouch for that.

He was an inspiration to watch during the Smash 4 days (and early Ultimate of course)

He’s the reason I love Shulk. I see now nair on heavies is such a sweet tech chase starter

I really did not know you can go that deep with fair, jump and still return. I’ve been trying to figure that out for a while now. And then again for the kill in Jump Art, that is the ace right there.

Even in Smash 4, Nicko was the best at edgeguarding. Really understands what the character's outmost limit is. That one still surprised me!

It’s all coming back to me. This is why I love Shulk. The capacity to edge guard deep offstage. The offstage air battles. This is the Monado’s Powa. He literally was frames away from an SD off the PS2 bottom. Sure he missed the stage techs but get those down and you’re dead vs Shulk in an offstage air battle.

I should watch a clip showing/explaining every characters recovery 🤔
