I strongly remember playing Mario vs Olimar near release and his Smash and side b when reflected would bounce back at double speed like any other projectile. I just played a set with a friend and now the Pikmin flip around exactly as if the Pikmin was a player, no momentum gained, just turns...

The combination of all those things leads to around a 20% win ratio in tournaments. 20% is good, but that's about where Eddie sits in GGAC. Didn't Fox also have about that win ratio in Melee? I still think he's good, but not broken. I have a hard time dealing with MK players, but I don't...

My vote is no. I hate MK. As a G&W main I really hate MK. I've tried picking up several different characters as secondaries to deal with MK, and honestly feel like I need to pick up MK to beat him. I completely feel where the pro-ban people are comming from. I almost voted yes because...

Counter-intuitive to the way you;d think they'd play.... Hrmmm.... Okay, they're all wierd, because i didn't know the properties of their movesets when I first started playing them. I didn't know that you needed to do an ariel before you can a-dodge after using Rob's uB. I didn't know that...

Defensive and offensive are moot, as it changes based on the player/character you're playing against. Marth vs MK? Better play defensive. Marth vs Falco? Better play more offensive at least. Marth vs DK? It might just be the people I'm playing against, but you can get away with being pretty...

Mains: Marth (though I get slaughtered by MK) ROB Snake Seconds: Pit Falco G&W I've considered sinking more time into DK and Wario, but haven't gotten around to it.

All good points. Maybe I'll just go with the fact that matchups are more important to me and leave it at that. I understand that the debate over accuracy of any tier list won't be solved by giving more weight to matchups (where I had thought it would be a solution before). Thanks all.

In MvC considering your partner involves how well the point character can protect the assist, as well as synergy between the characters (how useful the assist is for your point character, how well you can DHC to the assist from the point character, and such). Basically, in MvC, Storm is storm...

Mistakes on two fronts. You want to include doubles for number of teams, and exclude doubles for number of matchups (doubles in matchups are 50-50). Also, once you have your total number of teams, and you want to consider matchups, raising to a power of two and subtracting the number of teams...

Suppose you're equally skilled at using an X-Bow as you are using a shotgun and a sniper rifle. You've had an equal amount of training in all three, and are a crackshot with all of them. You know how to clean them and handle them all very well. You're standing in a 10 by 20 foot hallway with...

The example character you've given would be an extremely viable character, for CPing everybody besides S class characters, but yes, I see your point. Grats on giving the best argument in this thread. If it was 90:10 against all those characters, and 10:90 against the current S class...

I'd say MK based on the fact that there was a huge debate as to whether or not he should be banned... which is just silly... Characters aren't banned for consistently winning. They are banned when the arcade doesn't feature the character, or when they are the only viable option in tournament...

I have no doubt that MK, Snake, and D3 have good matchups against most of the cast. I think that this is what makes them viable for tournament play. Who wins a tournament is influenced by what characters are good, but isn't the reason they are good. The reason characters are good, is because...

If statistics show that Sonic regularly loses in the final matches of tournaments regularly to MK, than the statistics would be right; right? Of course, if a character doesn't regularly make it to the final matches in tournament play, that could be due to already established player bias, but...

If they are bad players, would they be in the finals of tournaments? If bad players getting into the finals of tournaments is a problem, that should skew the current tier list even more than a statistical matchup based one. (only grab data from tournament finals for matchup comparisons)...
