And don't forget Dedede/Game and Watch. All of the top tiers have something that people can whine about.

Dedede can shut down characters harder than Meta does and you don't see 200-odd page threads about him on the front page all the time. Metaknight makes some character matchups a living hell, but he does not have 0-death capabilities. He's beatable. Incredibly good, but beatable. Coming from...

Quite. Listening right now and both sides seem solid. People are just tired of Meta, so of course unless OS was a gibbering mental patient the Pro-Ban side would sound better.

You mean ground to air right? Even then, DI away then airdodge down/back and buffer shield or step back. Marth's counter isn't that good, so that's an odd thing to compare it to. This is very nice information, it's good to see people trying to find his weaknesses instead of complaining...

Azen/Martin 2 rocks your world. John all you want about Meta, but you can't deny that Martin had to work for that win as hard as any other viable character would.

Ever stop to think that Seth just had an off day/match? M2K was dead on, too many people are going Chicken Little over Meta being insanely popular, easy to pick up, and very good. Thank you very much for the info M2K, even if you aren't reading the thread anymore.

I say bah to Emblem Lord for the same reason I don't go to the SF4 boards on SRK; people calling the full development of the metagame of a game that's not even a year old. I also say bah because EL's sentiments have been stated several times before and have been worked around/disproven. It...

Blargh, Falcon in my opinion is the hardest character to play effectively in the game; he requires an ungodly amount of forethought and an intimate knowledge of every single nuance to overcome his balls approach and mad situational kill moves (Bair, Uair, Dair, Fair, Fsmash, sometimes Usmash)...

Gah. Falcon ended up like Ness and Pika in the SSB-Melee transition, while Marth ended up like C.Falc in the SSB-Melee transition. The nerfbat was coming for his arse eventually. If you had been around before Brawl came out maybe you would have known this.

You sir, are woefully uninformed. "Everyone can win" character wise is the highest goal a fighting game can internally aspire to. Guilty Gear XXAC and Virtua Fighter 5 are considered incredible games because pretty much every character is competitively viable and thus can win. With a low...

Yeah, after lurking about in various fighting game communities and after the "Everyone play Snake lol" phase of Brawl, I'm not so sure about jumping on the no Meta bandwagon. He's **** in a can yes and at this point goes advantage against pretty much every character but hey, it's not 10-A...

Falcon is sorta like Dan Hibiki: more or less a joke, but an awesome joke that can be used to great effect if you've got a backup plan. Falcon is a good character to main if you have a good secondary: I dual main Falcon/Ness and use a Pikachu for the matches they both are bad at. The thing...

Pichu, Mr. Game and Watch, Ness, and (with one exception) Mewtwo/Bowser say hi. That doesn't prove much unless you compare Falcon's fail in Brawl to the previously named characters in Melee.

As a member of both SWF and SRK, I'd love to see this community come and run a side tourney in the accepted Brawl format. It'd give a reason to come to EVO and help show why the Smash community runs the way it does. If nothing else it'll show Wiz that our community is dedicated to the scene.

I just think that the Japanese don't like Ganondorf and take more of a shining to Falcon. If nobody plays Gdorf, then he'll ride in G Tier forever.
