Jab lock combos are really nice to have. Usually, I just resort to d-throw -> triple ftilt (the lock) then I do a falling uair. Of course, there's a huge tech window and a lot of characters can just jump away, but there's a few matchups where it really shines (rip dedede). Also, since you're...

Allowing Palutena to use her custom moves requires you to voluntarily turn customs on, which turns the entire discussion into a hellhole of "if she can actually pick a non-equipment set from the custom selection screen, why can't DK/Villager". Saying that it's because she's "not made viable"...

Everyone's talking about this shady TO I never heard about and I'm here thinking SF4's Messi started playing Smash

That's majorly tournament nerves. I really can't think on a logical explanation, but people who are exposed to tournament competitiveness suffer from a list of adverse effects. If you actively search for stories about people's first tournaments, you won't believe in a lot of stuff you'll hear...

Pretty good summary on Diddy. It doesn't really matter if he's top 5 or not since every character on 1 and 2 is a very competitive choice, but he really deserves his place at the top echelon. Just let the meta develop before you talk about "top X", it's just not that clear cut yet.

I'm taking my local metagame into account, where one of the best players in the country is a Sonic main (aside from the other already good Sonic mains) and we have insane amounts of Yoshis bringing trouble to the brackets. They bring top-tier tournament performance to the table, so my chips are...

2::4sonic::4yoshi::4fox::4mario::4diddy::4ness::4ryu: Sonic +1, Yoshi +1.

That's pretty much it to me. I feel like they don't need button presses everywhere to be advanced, so it's much more about what's fundamentally Smash. The exclusion of wavedashing does nothing to detract from the game's speed, but I prefer it to have the Brawl airdodge, since the air game is...

I was just fiddling with ZSS a bit when I sorta discovered this. I'm pretty sure I'm not the inventor for this, but I found it interesting, not obvious, and I didn't find it in these boards, so I wanted to share it. You can watch it by clicking here. Apologies for the low quality footage, but...

I actually wanted to put it in spoilers (since it increases scrolling time by a fair amount), but I have no idea how to do it. :/

So, we had a lot of votes already, so I think it's a good time to post this. It might not be completely reliable due to possible accounting errors and a mess-up I made, but I still think it's a pretty good way to gauge the current trends. Currently going up two tiers: +12 :4luigi: +12...

I actually prefer to let him go down with it and punish the landing lag. If you have full shield (pretty common scenario), your shield is never going to break if you apply just a little bit of shield movement, then you can punish with something out of shield. I like doing aerials if they try to...

As for my votes, though... +1 :4falco:: Bottom 25%? Highly doubt it. If you search, you'll find quite a bit of competent Falco mains who can do stuff with the character. +1 :4palutena:: Same reason as Falco, but even harder, because there are more competent Palu mains, with more results, and...

Hey guys, I compared the new list with the old one, and here is a comparation of the rise and fall of characters! Here is the old list for comparison (forgive me, I don't know how to put things in spoilers) Quick instructions: number on the left is current tier, number on the right is amount...

People voted -1's in Meta Knight because he was "overrated" atm because 1 dude beat 1 dude (completely ignoring the plethora of good MK's out there) until his downvotes went through the floor Same thing with Luigi but to a lesser degree because he's top tier material. MK's not coming back from...
