i'm just joking with you
I just spent a long time thinking Close Combat was a Lucario custom and only now I remembered that it's one of Ike's side-specials.

With all due respect, I don't think many people inside the community are good at this game, lol.You underestimate how awful people outside the community are at this game. I have seen some ****.
Maybe I'm just biased, lol. Speed Thunder's the overall better option, but KOing Bayonetta at 45 from sniping her landing spot is still a nice thing to do.I'll always have a soft spot for Thunder+ after I got a hepta-kill with Thoron+ in 8P Smash once, but you're going to have to explain that one a bit more.
Cloud can never mix up his recovery with this move. He's forced to go up which Rosalina can fight and kick him back off, throw another FSB, and then sit and watch.Floaty Star Bit too now that I see it, since it's Shooting Star Bit everyone complains about. (Rosalina getting a long range projectile is apparently cancer incarnate to some people.)
Ike's Side B that lets him bowl through projectiles and opponents. Good for Bullet Climax. He also has Unyeilding Blade for quick Super Armor bailouts from things like Ryu locks potentially.I'm also drawing a complete blank on what Close Combat is, which is mildly embarrassing.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand Speed Thunder. It's good for poking with Thunder and Elthunder, but you pretty much completely give up any usefulness from Arcthunder and Thoron (Speed Arc is too fast to get a followup). At least with Thunder+ you get that sexy 15% Elthunder with barely any change in charge time. Thoron+ is Warlock Punch levels of practical, but it's hilarious.Maybe I'm just biased, lol.

Cloud would absolutely hate that Tempest custom lol.
the fatality **** made me laugh, but yeah its probably true

Who does Corrin or Villager really need a secondaries for if you don't mind me asking? I've been considering both of them and don't know much about the character other than basic strings/setupshttps://twitter.com/_DabuzSensei/status/724673995233189888

im surprised about the mew2 placement but i kinda have to agree, he doesnt get destroyed as hard as the lower tier chars with his bad MUs
Villager struggles versus Cloud and Bayonetta iirc, Rosa is a pain, and I hear swords in general give him a hard time. Corrin's MU spread is a bit underdeveloped atm but I think he loses to ZSS, Sheik, Cloud, Bayonetta, Rosalina, Diddy, maybe Pikachu.These are mostly -1's though so it's w/e.the fatality **** made me laugh, but yeah its probably true

Right now he doesn't have significant winning records against any high or top level players to my knowledge.Greninja: Almost bumped up but I couldn't justify putting him in the same tier as villager and pikachu, especially considering the greninja with the best results (Istudying) doesn't have consistent results against top tier or even high tier players AFAIK. (Acknowledge this could be lack of OOC knowledge)
In theory, but I haven't seen that matchup spread put into practice well outside of beating MVD and Esam (both of which could easily be attributed to lack of matchup knowledge and aren't indicative of a pattern)That greninja placement is outdated IMO.
The only match ups where greninja mains even really need to consider a secondary is or , and those are not really in the realm of "atrocious" as Dabuz defines it.The only other losing matchups he has are debatabley . Thoes could easily be considered as even as it is 45:55. Greninja's match up spread is easily one of the best attributes he has.
C'mon guys, BEAST VI wasn't that long ago.
Who do you perceive to be Meta Knight's -1's, and how many -1's did you think was appropriate to allocate characters to that respective tier?A bit of extra thoughts because I'm bored and I know people will ask.
Bayo: TBH I wanted to put in an extra tier for her but can't justify it.
Sonic: Almost bumped down because of the Cloud matchup in theory, but I haven't seen results of this matchup at top level to indicate it as being awful for sonic. I also previously thought fox was pretty bad for him, but Larry vs. 6WX changed my mind.
Mewtwo: Almost put into the Pikachu tier and I believe his matchup spread somewhere worse than the top of top but better than the top of high, closer to the top section. Struggles against Diddy and Cloud according to Aba.
Rosalina: Would easily be top 5 if Metaknight didn't exist, her only other losing matchups are cloud (not as bad as previously thought, requires a unique gameplan to fight similar to pre-patch ZSS) and Pikachu (slowly becoming even but more importantly losing relevance in the meta quickly)
ZSS: Diddy should be bad for her in theory, it was already pretty bad before the nerfs, Mr.r vs. Mars was destruction and even Mr.r vs. Nairo pre patch looked very hard for ZSS, I think that the nerfs hurt ZSS a lot more than Sheik in the MU.
Mario: Rosalina is a problem for him, plain and simple.
Ryu: Probably should be lower than a lot of characters in his tier so that's an oversight in my list, has really bad results in top level play and most people who used him dropped him for good reasons.
Marth: On the rise lately, I think he's actually reeeeeeally good now and will only get better.
Ike: Ryuga and Ryo both have a secondary corrin for some of Ike's matchups and that says a lot to me
Greninja: Almost bumped up but I couldn't justify putting him in the same tier as villager and pikachu, especially considering the greninja with the best results (Istudying) doesn't have consistent results against top tier or even high tier players AFAIK. (Acknowledge this could be lack of OOC knowledge)
Lucas, Pacman, Yoshi: All fit comfortably into where I placed them after considering results against common characters, with Lucas the only character who I think will risa in future lists.
Bottom tier should be reversed so that Jiggz is last.
DK: Almost bumped up to the top of his tier because he is notably effective vs. some characters like mario and sheik compared to how easy he is to play, but his bad MUs are reeeeeally bad. (Rosa, Sonic, Diddy, ect.)
Lucario: Waiting to see Motsonube or some top foreign lucario to come to the states and do work since the character is secretly busted IMO but people who play him don't travel OOC.
Peach: Not exactly a counterpick character but only fits into that general area in terms of being "alright"
Luigi: Concon is super inconsistent but at the same time a lot of his inconsistency is just him as a player not knowing matchups or having really off days, a bit unempirical but my point is that a consistent player using him would show us better results.
Results definitely don't show he loses to Rosa (bias but w/e), Sheik vs. Fox after the patch looks so much more manageable when I see Larry beat void. Can't say I know Fox well but the results from Larry's Fox are some of smash 4's most consistent and favorable in every matchup at top level play among the entire lifespan of the game period.I think my biggest issue is with Fox. He definitely has a few counterpicks/-1 MUs.[ come to mind] I'd bump him down a tier. He's definitely on a similar power level to those top characters, though.
Other than that, I like this list. Much more useful than a regular tier list.
Did you post which mus are bad for each character somewhere? I want to scrutinize more fully (mostly for mk tho)In theory, but I haven't seen that matchup spread put into practice well outside of beating MVD and Esam (both of which could easily be attributed to lack of matchup knowledge and aren't indicative of a pattern)
This. This is why I don't like it when people dump on For Glory players. Chances are, you're not that great either, and if you don't even go to local tournaments, you can kindly STFU instead of bashing random people who just play these modes for fun. Nobody cares about your combo videos where you beat 9 year olds who think Bowser Bomb is the best move in the game. The most popular people who stream For Glory like Alpharad, Lythero, Acestarthe3rd, and StylesX2 don't do well in tournaments and I don't think a lot of their fans realize this. It's the equivalent of high school baseball players bragging about being able to trash tee ball players, knowing full well if they went up against MLB players, they'd get their *** handed to them in a popcorn bucket, drizzled with extra butter and the salt of their tears. Case in point, stay humble and try to help instead of hurt the people who are actually trying to get better.With all due respect, I don't think many people inside the community are good at this game, lol.
Diddy, Sheik, Bayo, Mario, Cloud off the top of my head.Who do you perceive to be Meta Knight's -1's, and how many -1's did you think was appropriate to allocate characters to that respective tier?
This is pretty in line with my thoughts. Carry on, you're approvedDiddy, Sheik, Bayo, Mario, Cloud off the top of my head.
No specific number
Definitely. I wasn't a part of the Brawl community when the game was released but I believe that Ally, HolyNightmare, and the presently germane Dabuz got their start on Wi-Fi. 8Bitman did too IIRC.i think hidden talent is very possible, especially since this game has a wifi community. that olimar that got 2nd was a wifi warrior, right?
Take Falcon, give him a sword. Good. Now remove his range, safety on attacks, overall neutral options, and amazing air kill power/ strong 50-50s and ability to get deep for kills. Congrats, you have Roy.Definitely.

I really like Dabuz's tier list, especially how the tiers are designated. My biggest qualm is how low Roy is. I really have a hard time seeing how a character that mobile and who is a(n admittedly unusual) sword (=disjoints) could be bottom 3.
But what results are there to justify putting Marth above him?In theory, but I haven't seen that matchup spread put into practice well outside of beating MVD and Esam (both of which could easily be attributed to lack of matchup knowledge and aren't indicative of a pattern)
Marth has been doing quite well recently between Mr. E, False, and Pugwest, and they all play in a pretty strong region and did fairly well at majors. So I would say so.But results are there to justify putting Marth above him?
Mr.E and Pugwest both do very well in brackets in their region, their combined results + personal bias of playing them both in various matchups definitely justify it.But results are there to justify putting Marth above him?
That freaking hurt my soul.Take Falcon, give him a sword. Good. Now remove his range, safety on attacks, overall neutral options, and amazing air kill power/ strong 50-50s and ability to get deep for kills. Congrats, you have Roy.
Whilst I would have agreed with you before the Sheik nerfs, I think the placement is outdated and he should have been bumped up.Greninja: Almost bumped up but I couldn't justify putting him in the same tier as villager and pikachu, especially considering the greninja with the best results (Istudying) doesn't have consistent results against top tier or even high tier players AFAIK.
