Annoying Characters

[neoKAIzaints]

I'm new to the smash community although I've been playing the games since the 64 days. There are obviously spammy characters like Pit or Metaknight but I just discovered that Link is considered a "cheap" character and I've been maining him all along! Now I feel like I should change my main to someone not considered cheap... But I wanna know which characters to avoid that are maybe not immediately apparent.


TL;DR

What characters in the roster are considered "cheap" or "spammy" by the community?

 

[Lichi]

You should not give a damn about what people think is spammy and lame.

 

[AdaptiveTrigger]

Most people that complain about any character being cheap, will continue to complain about any other character they don't know how to deal with as being cheap if they consistently lose to said character. I know this for having dealt with these type of people before.

Pick the character that best suits your playstyle and let the whiners whine.

 

[LinkNIvy]

Duck hunt being able to hold shield with work with his projectiles shuts down any other projectiles, which is stupid.

Sonic is annoying but I don't think he's cheap or broken. I don't know what to do against him and so much of his stuff is safe or requires much more effort to shut down than it is for him to put out, but he's not fun to face.

Little Mac requires the game to be played hyper defensively and changes the game from being back and forth to trying to gimp or die. People switching to Little Mac after losing and suddenly winning is just... Come the **** off of it.

In my opinion this game is very well balanced. The only characters I find borderline broken are and. Sheik has power, speed, combo ability, good recovery so pretty much nothing wrong with her. Lucario has that aura buff that makes him scary good at 100 or more. Might have fit in with the other 2,
but his recovery is a lot more predictable. But I have managed to get around a fair number of them. I'm 3-5 with Lucarios 4-8 with Sheik and 3-5 with Yoshi using Megaman.

 

[Reila]

I think Lucario is pretty cheap. I don't know to deal with him

 

[Hellrazor]

No characters are necessarily cheap and spammy by design (except for DHD, **** that character, it was just designed for trolling). It's all in how the players handle their playstyles with each character they pick. A spammy player will spam, a cheap player will use cheap tactics.

 

[dragonologist]

I just hate facing Greninja and Sheik, they are always very problematic for me.

 

[NoiseHERO]

Only character that's ever really made me feel like "wow X thing they can do is cheap as fuuck" SO FAR is Zero Suit Samus. Her attack range is super annoying to me........

Unless I'm using greninja. *_*

But I don't wanna just use greninja.

 

[KaZe_DaRKWIND]

LIttle Mac and Sonic are the two I hate fighting the most

 

[K-45]

I gotta say I hate the most. When the end of the battle comes they only know how to spam


I also hate matches.

 

[Kokusho]

Little mac is annoying as hell because he totally disrupt how you have to play to the point that it doesn't feel good.

 

[SaucyDancer]

Pit isn't that spammy. At least not anymore. His arrows come out really slow now. I miss the spam.

 

[PizzaGuy]

Wow didn't expect to see hate. I haven't really fought any online yet, for some odd reason...

I find Little Mac to be most annoying for me. Especially on Gaur Plain when they sit under the top platforms and UpB anyone unfortunate enough to get knocked over to them for an instant KO.

 

[Cammed Z28]

Jigglypuff.always gives me trouble lol, little Macs are 50 /50..... either they utilize his hits in a smart and controlled style, or they spam and whiff all over.....often (to my immense delight) sideB'ing at the wrong distance from the edge, plummeting to their unavoidable doom.

Lucario and Greninja haven't been much trouble yet, Idk if I have been lucky or if the players do not main them.

Zelda, she ways pwns me more often than not. Her reflect ability really gimps my a arrow game

Change your main.

 

[ScubaGoomba]

If you want to compete, then don't worry about it. If you just play friendly with your buddies, then I know what you mean! It's never fun to go up against someone that's figured out just that "thing" they can't break.

I haven't played many real people that weren't Little Mac online, so it's hard to say, but I can definitely see Duck Hunt and Rosalina being mega annoying.

 

[Cammed Z28]

I see Mac regularly but Idk why everyone seems to play against an insane amount of Macs lol maybe once you get up to a certain skill level they become more prevalent? Just a guess

 

[Kenith]

I fought a Falco once. He was annoying. I didn't fight him a second time.

 

[Square]

I don't think the problem is cheap characters; it's more about the player. Adapting to the gimmicks seems to be the best way to beat them but that can prove to be difficult in a two stock match. Also, it can feel annoying for newcomers since it is very difficult to improve at that level. When I come across a player using "cheap" tactics, I tend to keep fighting them until I figure out how to beat them so that the problem does not arise anymore (since they tend to keep playing and stick to the same character when they win).

 

[Rakurai]

People who spam falling down B specials in For Fun are aggravating.

I make it a note to pick a strong character who can punish them hard for it in hopes that they'll learn their lesson.

Likewise, I don't mind getting my ass handed to me by some weird tactic, because then I can just drop the serious mode fighting and try different things to see if I can get a look in.
Especially if you're playing a character like Jigglypuff. You need to try to find a clear way in to get a rest, or line up the side+a smash or up+a smash, or set up an aerial juggle. I already acknowledge that I'm probably quite easy to bait into whiffing a rest, and that my accuracy needs a lot of improvement.

 

[Punkdaz]

I've been practicing using Mega Man and originally had trouble against certain opponents like Little Mac, Duck Hunt duo, Meta Knight and Pit to name a few.

I just had to adapt and learn new strategies to overcome them!

Just use who you like. Who cares what others think?

 

[Swedish_Otaku]

I have problems with mostly Robin, Shulk and Lucario. They are so annoying, OP and strong. Bowser is ****ing crazy too but he's big so easy to hit/grab/outrun. I have problems with different characters when playing online or against CPU. Mii Sword Fighter is insane.

 

[Nasreth]

Game is pretty well balanced from what I can tell, but there are a couple of characters who are just plain annoying to play against. Projectile spammers like duck hunt and bowser jr. namely, for me.

 

[Hitokiri_Ace]

Really.. just haven't had to many bad encounters with annoying players/characters..
A hyper spammy egg-tossin' Yoshi, a DuckHunt or 2.. and a Pac-Man (probably more that I just don't ever see people play as them). It's just kinda lame when it turns overly campy.

 

[Jerm]

The only thing I find annoying is the players that over-rely on their rolls. I mean these kids roll from one corner to the next its super annoying and surprisingly hard to punish due to the nature of rolling in this game. Just rubs me the wrong way and usually speaks volumes of their skill level or lack thereof.

This. (even though I tend to do this myself, when I'm panicking. . . . - I'm sorry)

But I'm kinda surprised how much hate Little Mac gets. Unskilled Macs should be pretty easy to punish, right?
Makes me feel bad for wanting to learn him :S

 

[Sambiti]

Ness tends to piss me off in for glory.

 

[elitex12]

In my personal opinion, Duck Hunt is pretty dang Over Powered. I understand how to use him and can play him decently... its just he DESTROYS anything.

 

[sssetz]

Little Mac is cheap solely because he basically has first strike. Completely frustrating.

 

[bkslider]

I played a Yoshi who would, without fail, return to the stage with a ground pound every time I knocked him off. Made for some fun punishes, but still.

 

[Naeroon]

I'm sure I'm forgetting some examples here, but the biggest thing to tick me off that comes to mind is characters with counter moves. They last so long and the move can be used anytime, anywhere. It's so safe, if you're getting messed up and get even just a split second, you can counter, completely restoring your footing in the match as well as knocking the enemy back+doing damage, giving you a chance for a solid counter attack. And I see people spamming it all the time. How do you follow up combos against this? It's like you can only get in a few solid hits and have to forcibly retreat for fear of counter turning the tides.

DHD's projectiles annoy me probably more than any other characters projectiles, but even then I'm not TOO annoyed by them.

Fought one obnoxious as hell Rosaluma that made me a lot more frustrated than it probably should have. Can play so defensive and can keep you at bay with little effort. I'm not really calling it anything more than annoying, although in my personal experience, it feels one side is forced to input more effort to stay on top.
