I can't speak much for Ike but I play a decent amount of Link as a secondary and a good friend of mine mains Toon Link. Honestly Toon Link is still better. Link has better kill power (barely) and is a little bit stronger overall but Toon Link's far superior speed and survivability still make...

Okay I may have been wrong in assessing Peach as mid-tier. Can anybody show me some examples of strong Peach play?

I'd be down to talk about Peach. I'm not sure I see her as anywhere higher than mid tier due to having no awesome skill but I think she's solid all around and her floats make her one of the better edge guarders in the game.

I honestly think Ness is top 10. His recovery has gotten better (though still highly gimpable), he has one of if not the strongest throw in the game and a couple of really good combos. While he does have his apparent flaws he has too many strengths to fall below maybe top-15.

Few doubt Palutena's potential if customs become the new normal, it's just like you said, that the metagame is so young and the customs metagame even younger. Because of this nobody has really exemplified how good she can be if played perfectly. We've seen flashes of crazy LW/SS play but not...

Yeah with Sheik she doesn't really have anything that's necessarily broken like Diddy or Sonic. She is an all around very good character but I've never faced a Sheik that I've thought was unbeatable.

My main struggles with Yoshi come from the fact that he can beat me no matter how I play. If I try to camp with lasers (not a good option to begin with) egg toss is a much better projectile so I have to approach and Yoshi straight up beats out a lot of Fox's approaches (SH nair in particular)...

Villager's offstage game is just scary. He's got the nair that you mentioned plus a good uair and a fair and bair that are good for spacing. Combined with his awesome recovery and he's almost better offstage than he is onstage. I think we'll be seeing more of him placing high in the months to...

I don't know anybody who says that Sheik is better than Diddy. Better than everybody besides Diddy? Sure but not better than him. I see Sheik and Diddy as the clear top two characters in the game with Yoshi, Sonic, Rosaluma and maybe ZSS in the next tier.

Oh okay that makes sense. What about the Luigi matchup is hard? I haven't really struggled with it like I have all the other characters you mentioned (Diddy and Yoshi in particular.)

Fox in general struggles with any character who is faster than him or can keep up with his speed. Last time I checked the consensus over on the Fox forums was that Little Mac was his toughest matchup, though my least favorite is Sonic.

I feel Shiek can get KO's easier than people give her credit for, particularly with customs on. That being said it is her most glaring weakness when her best kill moves are telegraphed and pretty hard to land against most top-tier characters.
