Olimar and Jigglypuff were almost entirely untouched by balance patches. Also, I'm not sure where you're getting that Olimar's considered high mid. He's the top of the E tier for BR. That's considered the top of the bottom of mid tier. Point is. They're the only two characters below the middle...

As someone who mains a character that's been classified as low tier for most of the game and was even considered one of the bottom 5 at one point? I actually do think this is a bit excessive. There's no way every character is gonna get much closer in power than what we currently have without...

It's okay. All the high tier mains seem mostly incapable of understanding how substantial the differences to the lower end was and just see the adjustments at the high end as either "petty" or "crippling". After all, if you've never played a character that's ACTUALLY ruined by 2% of damage or...

Cool. Bans aren't about whether YOU can use the character to their full extent, they're about national level play. Local tourneys have ALWAYS been allowed to run whatever set they want. When people are talking about bans, they're talking about national level. So, yeah. Skill floor DOES NOT...

Skill ceilings mean nothing. It is assumed a player playing the best character will play the character with the skill needed to play. What matters in whether a character will be overwhelming enough to warrant a ban is how much that character can actually do. Also, Fox has far less counters than...

So, just bullet point per bullet point. 1. No one is arguing that these aren't powerful, but several character still have guaranteed kill setups at low percentages or actually 02D's against specific matchups. While it is definitely a good reason why she's considered so powerful, this isn't so...

At that point, you're being arbitrary though. You can't base a ban off a subjective metric. Otherwise, literally anything can be considered ban-worthy if someone grumbles about it enough. It's true that often Ice Climbers matches are gimmicky and lead to some bored viewers, but so does...

You mean other than the top character before who had a projectile that basically negated the purpose of other projectile characters, had a fair that out-spaced sword users (which SHOULD have good reach), and had 50/50 kill setups that she could get into range of within only about 15 seconds of...

I am PREEEEEEEEEETTY sure there was PLENTY of demand for Lucas. It's not like that was exactly out of left field.

Awwww Yeah... I'm apparently the only Boyd. Woo!

Aye aye, Commander! I, My Over-sized axe, and my unnecessarily high HP score are with you!

I'm Boyd now? Sweet! 100% okay with this.

I've seen quite a lot of it back in the Brawl days, but that's because I had a youtube series about it. I got a lot of pretty vitrolic hate mail from the melee community pretty consistently back in the day though, and this was pre-twitch. That said, I still accept it's a vocal minority, but I...

...Or people want to evolve the meta, because contrary to what some people that have only been involved in tournaments for only 2-3 years will tell you, none of the smash games have had their meta solidified in only 1 year. The melee meta went through several changes before it picked its...

Careful. You might bruise someone with that child-safe edge you're running around with.
