No character is for noobs. In the Melee tournaments there were people who played every character, and I would not call someone in a tournament a noob. More formally, given the postulate someone in a tournament is not a noob and axiom (not sure whether this is an axiom or theorem actually)...

I agree that olimar is awesome. His smashes are very fast and he has probably the best projectile in the game. However he is good *despite* his horrible recovery.

I think Pit's a bit higher. Definitely at least high, and possibly top, but not necessarily. I don't agree with Yoshi either, he's an advanced character and to be honest I think he's actually really good in the right hands. And why is Ike's recovery bad? I'd think Olimar's would be the...

Ice climbers I think are somewhat harder to use. Now that Nana can grab (I think) they're a lot better. In melee they seemed to have been overlooked. I agree that Ice Climbers, along with Olimar, need a bit more attention and consideration, regardless of where they fall on the scale.

I don't think Pit is cheap any more than another character. His mirror shield is fairly hard to use and his ^B kills him when facing another character with good projectiles, like Snake, Link, Samus, Olimar, Ness, or another Pit. On small maps the arrows are nigh useless, and his >B may seem...

PIMPSLAP, although you are right, certain things regarding the tiers are even now, so early after release, quite clear. For example, it's generally accepted that the space animals, Marth, and Snake are pretty good, and that Captain Falcon is bad, although some disagree. Most people I believe...

Long time lurker, first post, though I doubt this is the best thread to do it. So much flaming going on. Therefore with appropriate humility I present my two cents: I think Olimar doesn't really get enough attention in this thread. He's a very powerful character IMO, though I don't play...
