Or, how about this one: Inui played up M2K to be like the best Ike or whatever.. and I saw a video, and I can tell by looking and seeing his obvious lack of knowledge about Ike that he is not the best. You can be a musical mastermind, but if you don't know what fingering makes what note on that flute, and you don't know exactly what type of air flow is best at different times and how to color your tone, you're not going to be the best flute player in the world. Not until you have a good bit more experience and know the instrument.
So, I'd say that a somewhat lesser skilled player with a lot more knowledge about Ike and his match-ups is still better than M2K's Ike. San, Bored, Kirk, Kimchi, etc. are without a doubt better than that.
About Vex-- I don't know exactly how to criticize Bowser, and I wasn't really criticizing him. It could very well just be that Bowser is a worse character than the rest, but I played his Bowser and several other characters-- and his Bowser was the easiest to play against.
There ya go.
Happy new decade, by the way, guys.
