Regerdless of small disputes, As anb old revised statement of melee for ultimate, A skilled Mac can beat any Bayo. As for sure Sol showing that greatness. Even if mac currently loses his perfect pivot, as do the whole roster, the extreme amount of puffs help his favor up! Straight lunge can be reveresed or sheild cancelled for mind games and mixups, as well as heavy arrmor to recover if up high. Jolthaymaker may have lost grounded range, but having it be usable much more as a landing mixup for his recovery helps greatly for sure! Even the great statements of mac's jumps and rising uppercut given more height just gives mac alot more to help him, especially for aerial mixups given less landinglag overall as well as the new parry tech for a much more solid punish. Overall, just as this applies to really any character, Mac does have a shot at top tier placement, but it all tends on who pushes mac into the ring to show other characters who the boxing champ is! So hopes to us Mac mains to show what we got!
