anybody who says it's pichu simply because he damages himself is an idiot. what does a few percentages mean in a competitive match? it's not like pichu can withstand a strong attack anyway, LOL. but seriously, wouldn't u rather have a character that can actually get back on the ledge but gets damaged a little then a character like, oh, say Brawl Ganon and Falcon? Pichu had competitive grabs and combos. frankly, Pichu could beat up even meta knight if meta knight was in melee but with brawl slowness. Chu Dat once beat a competitive tourney with only Pichu. I'd like to see Brawl Ganon or Captain Falcon get anywhere close.

I can 4-stock you in melee with Pichu. And I hate playing as him.

taking your style so we're on even grounds. and besides, I haven't played Brawl in months, but nobody could 3-stock my Wario with their ganon or Captain Falcon.

I say Pichu. Why?

Well, you see, most clones were different aspects of a character, like "What if Link was faster and lighter, since he's heavy" or "Hmm, what would happen if Marth was more powerful, heavier, and slower?" Pichu, on the other hand, as if Pikachu wasn't light enough, got LIGHTER. I mean, sure he hurt himself, but being as light as he was, that isn't something he could afford. I mean sure, Pikachu with better air control (Up+B), but what would it do if you were sent flying off the stage too fast? Pichu should have had a chance for a discharge burst of electricity on his attacks to do extra knockback in compensation for his weight. Or we should have had a heavier, slower, more powerful Pikachu, (read: Raichu).

You also know what you are talking about. I can't deny that Pichu is the worst, but I will say that Pichu can beat Melee Kirby in an one on one match.

I'm probably going to say Pichu because he damaged himself and he was very easy to kill, but also at the same time I just can't stand to play with olimar....

Far and away my least favorite character in Smash EVER is metaknight. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to call him the worst. In SSB64, I found Samus to be the worst. In Melee, it would definatedly be Pichu. And in Brawl, Link. And as for anyone that says Pichu would rock Brawl Falcon, they would need to be on the same phyics system. And in that case, Brawl falcon would Wreck Pichu. A little thing called range.

People really need to LEARN more about what they talk about before posting. Pichu isn't the worst because he hurts himself, he is the worst because of bad matchups.

And as for anyone that says Pichu would rock Brawl Falcon, they would need to be on the same phyics system. And in that case, Brawl falcon would Wreck Pichu. A little thing called range.
That maybe true for Melee physics, but what about Brawl physics? Pichu has a decent projectile, something Falcon lacks, a far better recovery, and some decent finishers. The only thing that I see getting worse about Pichu is the lower gravity and hitstun, which would make juggling far more difficult to do. Falcon was severely nerfed by Brawl Physics. It essentially makes it harder for him to rack up damage and even ko.

Pichu, being a melee character, is highly affected by hitstun. Brawl Falcon, being a Brawl character, is minimally affected by hitstun. Falcon could then combo the garbage out of Pichu + have the longer range that he's always had. Survivability also goes to Brawl Falcon.

64: Link (he seemed so good till he so much as looks at the air to the sides of the stage)
Melee: Pichu/Kirby undecided on that one
Brawl: Metaknight Ganon, Falcon is too manly

Overall Link hate to say it but link = Lol gimp.

Falcon could just spam show me ya moves, and then pichu would be forced to do so, and since pichu hurts himself when he attacks, he would just end up killing himself. Fact.
And thus the pichus of the world died.

I'd like to see Brawl Ganon or Captain Falcon get anywhere close.
Go meet Ally. He won a tourney by kneeing Anther FTW.

Seriously, Ally wins tourneys with Falcon.

Yeah , i played melee not long ago at a friends and tried everyone out , laughed at how much Pichu sucked , so annoying trying to use him with himself getting damaged. Also i don't think that Captain Falcon is that bad in brawl , i do every well with him.

Ganon in brawl in NOT terrible (not super great but not terrible). Hes highly underestimated with a plethora of At's and constantly improving metagame , brawl falcon doesnt do well in the new mechanincs but who the hell cares falcon is fun. Pichu was the worst character but you could still win if you were THAT much better than your opposition.

Brawl Ganondorf is the only character I cannot beat the AI consistently with (I can still beat AI most the tiem). That even includes Melee Pichu although he is noteworthy. I actually could beat the AI with Captain Falcon (Brawl).

Something deffinetly got messed up when everyone was "ranking" the characters. Now, nobody wants to use him. In turn, CF never appears at tourneys, and becuase of that, he doesn't get recognized causing even LESS people to use him.

Link was my main in melee to the guy on page 9 bashing him. He was nerfed in Brawl but Toon Link rocks.

Ganondorf is just way to slow. I cannot do a move without getting poped.

Also a lot of times I accidently hit a and up trying to do a different move and he raises his leg to charge and drop and I get nailed all the time for it.

Ganondorf was awesome in Melee but sucks bad in brawl. Link also took a nerf in Brawl. In fact the entire LoZ series as a whole was nerfed.

Ike is slow but he can actually get his moves in time. It takes 3-4 whole seconds for Ganon to do a move and if he gets hit then you have to restart the move. He sucks royally in Brawl. As I said, he is the only character that the AI beats when I play as him at least a 1/4 of the time. (I have played CF, Yoshi, and some of the others as well for Brawl, they are not as bad).

I would rank based on this

64: Jigg, Yoshi, Link all tie
Melee: Pichu (although no character on melee was down right horrible to me. I could actually win with Pichu and he could be dangerous. Kirby and Link were my two mains lol).
Brawl: Ganondorf hands down

Worst all time to me: Ganondorf from Brawl (He was awesome in Melee).

I wonder how Mewtwo would work with Brawl's mechanics. Hopefully better since it did have some of the nastiest grabs and throws among all the Melee fighters, but its large height and limited killing potential made it the worst fighter overall in the Melee days.

He would never touch the ground. Seriously, one jump, and he'll never touch the floor

Mewtwo is up there in melee for worst. Pichu does hurt himself but it only does 1-3% damage per bolt. Pichu's problem is he is too light and gets killed to easily. Sometimes this can help though because he is hard to hit since he is so small.

You cannot compare two characters based on two different physics systems. Melee Pichu would lose to Brawl Falcon WITH Melee physics in place, but will WIN with Brawl physics. Brawl Falcon is pretty much the same as Melee Falcon aside from the reverse Falcon Punch and some other slight changes. The only reason why he does bad is because of Brawl Physics. He plays wonderfully in Brawl+, I'd say even moreso than in Melee.

Yeah , sad really , he isn't bad. As you said most people look at the tier and seen who's at top and middle and base it on that. I reckon he deserves c-d spot.

So much Pichu hate...

I would have to say Melee Kirby, jus' because I don't want to admit Pichu was
awesome
horrible in the competitive aspect. But, if you took Pichu and put him against Ganon or C. Falcon in Brawl...then most of the Brawl cast would be the worst. :confused:

Everyone in brawl because it sucks. etc. etc.

Statistically, link has been the worst overall though all games: bottom tier in 64, low tier in melee, and bottom tier in barwl
