I personally find it extremely odd that all other timeout strategies are (rightly, IMO) considered fair game because there are ways around them, even if it's not necessarily easy to combat... yet a LGL is even being considered. Maybe I'm looking back too much and thinking of how this isn't...

Where's Meta Knight when you need him, eh?

One thing I've found with Ness is that a lot of folks tend to fear him a lot more than is actually warranted, especially with respect to his BThrow. On the one hand, yes it's a powerful kill throw and a great tool to have in your arsenal. But it doesn't really 'stand out from the crowd' nearly...

Under normal circumstances I'd agree, but given that it was pretty rude to refer to him as 'mediocre' in the first place, IMO his response is 100% justified. At any rate, I honestly don't have too many significant disagreements with this list i.e. not many placings I'd put more than 4 places...

Zelda's biggest strength by far is her edgeguarding and ledge trapping game. When edgeguarding, she can afford to go out far deeper than many characters can, and can consequently put some opponents into an unwinnable position where even if they guess right, there's still a good chance that they...

I legitimately believe that you could give that move to any bottom-of-the-barrel character and they'd immediately become mid tier.

Whether or not Cloud's disadvantage state is lacklustre compared to the cast as a whole is debatable, but overall it's decidedly worse than most of the other top tier characters, as well as a good chunk of the high tiers. That means that most characters with consistent tournament success are...

Yeah, if you can get a video up it would allow much more constructive feedback on how to potentially improve. In the meantime, however, there are still a couple of pieces of advice I feel you might benefit from. Firstly, you should quit Smash 4 only if you're not enjoying it anymore. Now...

It's kind of hard to hold much stock in a list which was based on asking people to rate close to five dozen characters on a scale of one to ten... I can't help but feel that the whole thing must have a LOT of rounding errors (i.e. where characters were rated, say, '8' by the same person, but...

Unfortunately that last sentence of yours perfectly summarises the primary reason G&W isn't higher than he is now. In this game you don't necessarily need to be 'terrible' to be lower tier - you just need to be worse than a significant enough proportion of the cast. And struggling against...

Welcome to Smashboards! :) In answer to your query, I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you the boring but true answer - only you can know which character suits you best. However, the fact that you've been willing to try out various different characters is definitely good, and based on your...

This may sound like a troll suggestion, but I honestly think this one change would balance out Bayonetta pretty well. Specifically, I believe that Witch Twist and After Burner Kick should not refresh on hit. In layman's terms, if she's already used her allotment of side Bs and up Bs, and then...

:4jigglypuff: Well, my shield's near full health, so surely there's no way that attack will break it...

But... they're already in top 8s all the time anyway...??? It's an unnecessarily restrictive ruling IMO, but I'm really not seeing how it will make top tier characters significantly more dominant than they were anyway.

As someone who dabbles with Bayonetta myself, I do find her somewhat irritating to fight against... but not for the reasons most people seem to. Her combo game doesn't bother me. After all, many of the top tier characters have deadly combo games - Fox, Sheik, Mario etc., and given that you have...
