Smash Apprentice
No only scrubs play like that LOL!! I don't randomly throw out neutral b for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I use it for a reflector or a really super aggressive opponent that won't back off.tbf that move has always been hot garbage vs people who actually know about it. So what seems off? They're timing to punish, they're not getting hit but standing close?
So what I've noticed is the move doesn't come out NEARLY as fast (so I find myself getting hit by projectiles) and it also doesn't send the opponent NEARLY as far as it used to when I use it on someone up close (like sometimes I hit the opponent with the move and they go nowhere and I get punished even after hitting them). It just seems off to me.
