Bullshit character.
Bullshit character
the most dishonest of the top tiers
That would obviously be Puff or Ice Climbers.
>top tiers
>won at least half of the tournaments in the past 3 years
>not top tier
One player, with Puff has dominated for three years. This doesn't make puff a top tier character, it makes Hbox a top player. The same as Axe with Pika for example.
Icies are B tier or bottom of A tier, but also an under developed character with variable potential outside of wobbling. Puff is somewhere in A tier.
SS / S Tier would of course be:
Fox
Falco, Marth, Sheik.
With Falco / Marth interchangeable for being second best character.
>This doesn't make puff a top tier character, it makes Hbox a top player.
Only top tier characters can dominate. Fox, Falco, Marth, Peach, Puff; all top tiers. Axe hasn't dominated at all, and his character's weaknesses are clear and limit his results.
How come no other puff is winning tournaments? There's plenty of players out there who only want results, and many PR's aren't being led by a puff main despite the characters unpopularity.
I'm not denying it hasn't got potential and clearly puff is a good character but I would argue for the wider scope of the melee competitive scene that puff belongs in A tier. Fox, one of the most played characters has multiple kill confirm set ups on Puff under 60% which is one of puffs fatal flaws which is taken advantage of by a lot of the cast.
leaving puff out of the equation entirely; my argument is that marth is easy to play and abuse for newer players over more honest skill adjusted characters.
To be anywhere half decent with Spacies, Falcon, and any other character below S tier, takes a fair amount of tech skill and practice to succeed with. A lot of players I've had the chance to play and talk too take marth because he's incredibly easy to pick up and win with.
>How come no other puff is winning tournaments?
Why aren't there other Falcos winning tournaments other than Mango?
Why aren't there other Foxes winning tournaments other than leffen?
Why did Peach stop getting results when Armada left?
etc etc
By the way theres multiple other puffs in top 100. 2saint, micheal, and I think abu.
>Only top tier characters can dominate.
That's not true at all, retarded Smash fag. Tiers are not decided by who is winning Tournaments, they're decided by who is winning the most matches, by what margin, and in which brackets.
Just because 1-2 people do well with a fighter, doesn't automatically make that fighter god-tier.
I think we're just disagreeing on what top tier is. I'd agree Puff is A tier, probably worse than Marth and Fox, but better than everyone else. A tier is still top tier in my opinion though, the definition really just encapsulates the top 5-6 to me.
As far as no other Puffs winning tournaments however, you could make that argument for any other supermajor champion. There's only 1 person for each character that DOES win tournaments. If you're talking about on more of a local/regional level, there are tons of great Jigglypuff players.
>Abu
Largely inactive but still took a decently-sized tournament this year
>2saint
great results overall, second best Puff
>Michael
also largely inactive but has beaten S2J multiple times
>Snowy
took a set from #13 in the world despite not even being top 100
>Jerry
dropped Fox for Puff because she was "easier" so he could focus more on Ultimate, results actually IMPROVED
And other local heroes I can't be assed to list.
>Tiers are not decided by who is winning Tournaments, they're decided by who is winning the most matches, by what margin, and in which brackets.
You just contradicted yourself, you retard. What you're quantifying tier placements with is exactly the same as deciding tiers by who's winning tournaments. Obviously the best player (a Jigglypuff main) is going to win the most matches, win by an absolute blowout the most, and in professional brackets. Unless you're implying a character like Fox and Falco should be top tier simply because they're much, much more popular to play than Puff and "win the most matches" because of that.
puff is inarguably top 5 and most of the extremely elite players put her top 3 or top 2
People will complain about literally anything about every character. Smash is toxic
Donkey Koong!
I must have skipped the low skill bracket where marth is considered op
where I’m at it’s falco, peach and puff who get free wins
>skipped the bracket where marth is considered op
It's at every level of play, my friend.
the only dishonest thing about Marth is his grab but EVERY top tier has shit like that
Fox’s frame 1 shine, Falco’s spike
Falco's spike is perfectly fine, his side-B is extremely dishonest though.
melee's artstyle is so ugly
it lasts way too long
forgot about Peach’s stitches too
Hahahah just like have no losing matchups hahaha just like be able to win against spacies hahaha just like have the 2nd best recovery in the game after puff hahaha
SuperSmashBros64
Kirby could 0 to death you from a single UpTilt that can cover his entire body
nah once you get past losing to forward smash and learn slide off di (it’s extremely easy) marth is whatever
still a top tier obviously but nowhere near the most oppressive or autopilot
>2nd best recovery in the game after puff
are you talking about fox or peach?
>Fox
>anywhere NEAR 2nd best recovery
What the fuck are you talking about?
depends what you’re rating the recovery on
peach has the same “if you don’t kill me I’m getting back and there’s nothing you can do about it” factor as puff but fox’s recovery has the most mixup potential by far
People still care about this shitty game? Drop it already. It's not funny anymore.
Fox's recovery leaves him a sitting duck if he up-Bs and side-B is very punishable if covered correctly. His fall speed doesn't help either. Firefox is EXTREMELY exploitable, it's why spacies get gimped so much.
>Pikachu
>Mewtwo
>Samus
>Pichu
All have better recovery than Fox. I'm sure you could make an argument for a few more too.
