You can replace "shuttle loop" with virtually any other move in the game and your statement would still be true. Insisting on that issue is really kind of pointless.

Now that I've actually got a couple hours sleep and a decent breakfast in my belly, I noticed that Diddy's lower-mid in Adapt's list. What makes him worse than Kirby and DK? I don't play Diddy, so I'm definitely not very knowledgeable, but I keep hearing about how good his bananas are from...

I agree with powell651234. ZSS has two good spikes, three fairly strong aerials with little lag, and several ways to get an enemy airborne from the ground. Her huge regular jumps, DownB (and the sex kick), and her UpB allow her to edgeguard aggressively, as well. Her SideB auto-sweetspots...

"Quit wavedashing with Metaknight!"

If everybody rolled into Ike Fsmashes like that, we wouldn't be talking about Snake winning tournaments... If everybody rolled into Ike Fsmashes like that, the Smash community should collectively find a new game.

Ask me this question again if Yoshi ever becomes high tier.

Two things: First, you'll have to define what you mean by "strategy" to get the kind of responses you're looking for, as it's a fairly ambiguous term. Second, Snake doesn't necessarily require more strategy just because he's a "less bad" matchup for Link than MK is.

So that's why Hylian switched to Falco for that tourney out in AZ. I didn't realize Falco was so bloody cheap.

Then how come he hasn't won any noteworthy tournaments? Not compared to Snake or MK. That was my entire point, but you were too busy lighting your flamethrower to notice. Way to go! Whoa. That was totally unnecessary. I've never even played Melee, so lumping me in with that crowd...

Time to point and laugh at Cyan! Not three days after I state that Ike isn't a great character, my little brother, an Ike main, gives me hell with his Ike. My Falco and my Ness didn't have a problem, but pretty much everybody else (including the two-four characters I'm learning) had all sorts...

Wouldn't a Ness player know quite a bit about not-so-great characters? Also, when I said that "he's nowhere near my main," I meant that I don't play him nearly as much as my main(s); when I re-read my prior post, it seemed a bit ambiguous. edit/disclaimer: I make no claims whatsoever about my...

The reason you're not seeing Ike win tournaments is because *gasp!* he's not that great a character. Don't get me wrong, I like Ike; while he's nowhere near my main, I do enjoy playing him from time to time. He's just not in the same ballpark as the high/top tier characters.

Observation from a Smasher lacking local tourneys to attend: I've yet to see a SBR'er who approves of any sort of CG bans/restrictions. Am I the only one to whom that speaks volumes?

Sethlon and Hylian are my heroes. Seriously. Also, try living in Harrisonburg. Even gamers are like, "wtf is smash?"

Why should you feel bad? Everybody knows Falco can chain-spike, so if they let themselves get grabbed, then it's their bad for ****ing up.
