yeha don't worry i've been keeping up to date. it's kind of amusing to me, to be honest...it's just a forum, and about a video game at that. i've seen some tempers running a bit too high.
i think it's both funny and a good thing that you went from challenging isai to saying that there ARE people better than you:
"Firstly- i loooovee playing people who are better than me."
and actually getting into the online game. not that i'm a veteran here or anything but i've seen a couple of isai challenges in my time. plus i looked at all the links in the recent discussion about challenging isai.
hahah! oh god you have no idea how happy i was when i found this forum. and THEN i found out it was possible to play online, which was a different matter altogether.
yeah...i actually switched my main to yoshi because he's so much fun(well, until recently, when i played online and got CRUSHED by a fox...i may have to pick up a faster character like pikachu) but i do remember realizing it, after i switched mains...and then that was one of the main reasons for his location on the tier list i'm pretty sure, so when i read that it confirmed my thoughts even more. i play ness every once in a while, but ever since my brother figured out he could either chase me off the ledge even further or he could just get in the way of my blue ball and i would fall to my death...not so much. i do enjoy his spike and yoyo though. so much fun. and i love playing djc characters, they allow for so much...i don't know. mind games...trickery...not that i'm good enough to actually use those things properly but they're fun.
okay i tried to find it and all i could find was this:

and battlecow's not on there so maybe he's not top ten. but i was looking at some other thread, where people could challenge each other for spots and stuff, and it listed the top ten people on that, and he was in there, with some other big names...so he's up there, i'm pretty sure. maybe not top ten though.
hahaha probably not. everybody has their own playing style. you definitely play better against a character when you know how to use them though. and vice versa...i think i picked up link way faster than i should've, being my brother's main and all...
