    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    Something I've noticed, is there any reason why Bowser is still being seen as a seemingly irrelevant low tier? Most tier lists I've seen (Not just here, but on other sites too) tend to dump him in the low tier, some of them even put him as bottom 10. We've all seen how much the buffs have...

    Your Mains Two Best Stages, And Their Two Worst Stages.

    I'll give my best thoughts on the Mii Fighters since I tend to play all of them these days. All of these assume Default Miis :4miibrawl:Best Stages: Town and City/Smashville :4miibrawl:Worst Stages: Final Destination/Duck Hunt :4miigun:Best Stages: Final Destination/Town and City :4miigun:Worst...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    Not sure how there can be any debate that DDD is anything but bottom 5. He's pretty much a gimmicky version of Ganon with a complete lack of solid results and an awful matchup spread. When a character gets heavily countered by :4link::4robinf::4samus: then I don't see how they can even stand a...

    Why we dissing Gale Strike? Just cause it has slow start up? It does okay damage, has a windbox for gimping/stopping approaches and destroys projectiles to help Swordfighter's approach/stop them from getting zoned out.

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    Hence why I mentioned about how it's not a strong argument afterwards. Tweek certainly showed off what he was capable of, but so far no one has managed to reach that same level and right now we're back to the whole "Oh but they're capable of so much" talk that plagued :4peach: for the longest...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    Default Bralwer could go either way really. :4bowserjr: and :4duckhunt: both suffer from the same problems as Brawler does, needing to put in so much work to get the job done to a point where it might not be worth the hassle, but lately :4duckhunt: has been doing pretty well for itself and we...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    I can understand why you think that in the previous post, since I know for sure that the Miis aren't going to set the meta on fire or anything. Still, I feel Swordfighter has a lot of good points about him, but is held back because his downsides aren't seen as favourable in the meta. When you...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    It's no secret that the UK smash scene is pretty poor, very Melee dominated. Locals are pretty hard to find for Smash 4 and the big tournies usually get swept by the same familiar faces every time since there's so little competition. At the very least the character diversity is pretty good...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    The only reason Swordfighter is bottom tier is because of an extreme lack of results from the Mii rulings, which in turn have made it very hard for people to seriously pick up Miis as mains or even secondaries. Of course, I'm not saying that Swordfighter is a secret S tier or anything, just that...

    Unfortunately that's pretty much the case. As long as :rosalina:exists, zoning characters aren't going to be solo viable any time soon. We're lucky as it is that :4villager: and :4ness: are considered high tier.

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    Seeing both :4duckhunt: and :4pacman: getting wins over :4bayonetta: gives me some hope that :4miigun: will be able to handle her in a similar manner as I'd mentioned before, something that's manageable and isn't some crazy 70/30 matchup like it is for the super heavies. At the very least...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    This is pretty much the case, when people think of Smash they think of Melee and automatically assume that anything Smash must be about insane mobility options and flashy combos. Anything that isn't is boring and shouldn't be played. What's worse is that it spills into characters too, where...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    In terms of Bayo, I really wish I could've gotten sometime to see how Gunner vs Bayo works at Hypespotting but I didn't get the chance. Seems like an interesting match up, in terms of Gunner's walling capabilities with their projecticles (Including their almighty fair which could shut down side...

    Official 4BR Tier List v1.0 - Competitive Impressions

    Might as well help out where I can. The best I've seen is Swordfighter, mainly due to how stupid their Uair is. They've got a Hoo Hah that is guaranteed at higher percents and can easily KO at under 100%, but this is pretty dependent on stuff like weight, rage and falling speed. It doesn't work...

    How to play Gunner at a disadvantage?

    I've been getting a chance to play some Gunner recently and one of the main problems I've noticed in my playstyle is how once the opponent closes in on me and starts applying pressure, I can't deal with it very well. Gunner's mobility doesn't really help me retreat, their throws are weak so it's...
