Super Smash Bros. 4 in competitive play: Difference between revisions

These various changes did not stop ZeRo from achieving a record streak of 56 tournament wins, taking majors such as [[Apex 2015]], EVO 2015, and [[The Big House 5]], becoming the undisputed best player in the game at the time. The streak ended at [[MLG World Finals 2015]], where {{Sm|Nairo}} defeated him in Grand Finals to become the only player to eliminate ZeRo in a ''Smash 4'' tournament in 2015.

This year saw the release of the last two DLC characters, {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}. Bayonetta was seen as a highly controversial character, due to her powerful combo game, allowing her to [[zero-death]] most foes, and [[Witch Time]] giving her one of the strongest [[punish]] games in ''Smash 4''. Bayonetta was notably banned from tournament play in Spain, Russia, and certain areas in the United States. However, significant nerfs, most notably in May's patch [[1.1.6]], brought her on more even ground with other characters, and the bans were lifted. The lack of any other patches for the rest of the year finally gave the metagame time to develop without interruptions.
