  1. My internet's fine now. For Glory people make me want to hang myself. Anyone want to play?
  2. Yeah, for some reason Toon Link has an easier time killing than Link. Both are kinda bad in the overall metagame though.
  3. I don't understand, its just a recolor of Peach/Daisy sports dress. I think I'll buy this. Really need a new multiplayer game after Smash and Splatoon was bad.
  4. For the results aspect, the only thing that matters in a tier list are results from nationals (150+) and maybe regionals (80+). Wifi and locals are really skewed by individual player skills. You could argue that regionals and nationals are also skewed, but at least you can pull some good data by seeing character representation in top 32/16 and likely the player skill will start to be much closer to even that character choice will start to matter. Tiers by results get complicated by matchups though.
  5. NM, I had to turn off spotpass and turn it back on
  6. Did they discontinue it or something? I can't get any of the spotpass chapters.
  7. They aren't true, but you will eventually be hit by one at minimal risk to Sheik. For example, downthrow upair only works if the opponent double jumps, buffers an aerial, or does nothing. It will not work at extremely high percents, but then Sheik will just fair you to death. On the other hand, you avoid the upair with an airdodge, but the sheik can read this and go for a vanish, causing this to be a 50/50. There are tons of 50/50s Sheik can do, and while not being true combos, will still kill. This is irrelevant, but cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKWngjW5vkU&index=13&list=PL7k2OUjMttFJ7CJVDbgx8Bwd5ptX26hw7
  8. First of all kill setups do not mean kill power. Having kill setups is better than kill power. This is why ZSS ends stocks much better than Ganondorf or Bowser despite Ganondorf/Bowser having more kill power overall. Also, Sheik not being able to kill is a myth. She doesn't much in the way of raw kill power, but any good Sheik knows how to overcome this by utilizing her kill setups which are both safe and easy to land. For example, no rage Sheik can kill a Mario on Smashville with this stuff (estimates): -Ftilt/Down throw > Upair (120%) -Ftilt/Down throw > Airdodge read Vanish (100%) -Fthrow > Bouncing Fish offstage (90%-120% depending on how far you hit them from the blastzone) -Probably more, but I don't play Sheik. I know she has setups with weak nair and Dtilt. And that's not including gimps. On the other hand, Zelda doesn't really have kill confirms (Farore 1 to Farore 2 is not really a kill confirm, or a safe one at least), maybe nair into Farore. Everything else she kinda has to hope the opponent runs into her smashes, gets a lucky Farore OoS (which is harder after this patch), hit with a sweet spot aerial (good luck), or backthrow at the ledge. Therefore Sheik can kill much easier than Zelda. The number 1 character in the game does not have problems killing.
  9. Luigi was never top 10 imo even prepatch. Lack of kill confirms makes him basically a worse Mario that has trouble getting in, but he is still better than Doctor Mario. The shield stun thing also makes it really has for Luigi to punish out of shield, but on top of sliding when hit in shield, he is locked into shield longer. Still a decent character though.
  10. I agree, Zelda got nerfed from Brawl, the only thing better about her in this one is Farore Wind killing. If she got Brawl upsmash and Din's fire back, I can at least put her above Samus. She's more viable simple because the competition isn't as oppresive as it was in Brawl. Also, this sorta explains why Samus is bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7CewcWnKs8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCYCj3et36U Oh well. She sorta had her moment in Melee, but from then on Samus does not like losing ATs.
  11. Yeah, again Zelda worse by relativity. Some of you may not remember Brawl, but she was/is considered 2nd worst in that game, right after Ganondorf. Despite being worst in this game, she can still overall perform better than her Brawl counterpart in the upper level metagame because the game is more balanced as a whole. In Brawl, Zelda literally couldn't take a stock off a good MK or Ice Climbers.
  12. Can't tell if you're trolling. Most character's have the ability to go offstage to edgeguard. However this is a list of relativity.
  13. I was being pretty generous with Bowser. Roy could be higher, but I just don't see much going for him other than powerful smashes (that you may seldomly land against good opponents), horizontal mobility (running and air), Blazer OoS, and grab combos. Everything else is meh (range, disadvantage, recovery, approach).
  14. Simple, Sonic has more successful players than Pikachu does. Pikachu is carried by theory and Esam, otherwise I would be skeptical of even putting him in A. Zard still has his fundamental problems such as a huge hurtbox and being juggled, but yeah I think you do have a point especially with the most recent buffs he could be leading D tier or be last in C tier. His grab has great range and rewards are pretty good and as I mentioned, grab rewards are a big deal in this game. I can probably move Charizard up.
