At first this post had me scared, but then I realized... smash isn't chess.So chess with only pawns and a king, that would suck.
So, picking bowser against any character to win, that would suck as well.
Spoken right on. People here put more faith in tiers than fanatics do in their holy books.At first this post had me scared, but then I realized... smash isn't chess.
Picking a low tier character isn't asking for a loss... thats rediculous, regadless of who says it. It's not gimping yourself out or anything like that, not in this game.
Since most people are talking about him spesifcally in this thread take bowser, in under a few years he went from un-useable sternength, easy to combo, easy to kill, literally slow and useless, "the worst character in the game", to one of the fastest characters out there while retaining that power. With his new and improved fortress game, and people actually, you know, playing as a low tier, he began his accent, he became a strong and far more imposing character. Good bowsers don't do too poorly against some of the higher tier characters.
Characters like pichu are often over looked just because of self damage when as a character pichu probablly has one of the best edge gaurds out there and a solid combo game against a large portion of the cast if you actually take the time out to learn it.
I'm not saying tier don't mean anything, that'd be silly, but I do think people put way too much weight in them. Characters are only as good as you let them be. The tiers are a reflection of that, not the definition of it.
Bowser and Pichu are still largely unuseable for all realistic tournament play. Some low tiers have potential to do well, such as pikachu, DK, roy, ylink, ect. others like pichu bowser mewtwo ness can be played better and thus seem like they have potential, but will still be easily defeated by a simple strategy from a real character. Let's face it, if sheik just walks at you with ftilt, and does it really accurately, bowser/pichu/mewtwo WILL lose, they simply can't beat it. There are dozen and dozens of examples like this.At first this post had me scared, but then I realized... smash isn't chess.

but even the low tiers you mentioned "with potential" dont really have potential. the only thing they have going for them is the surprise, or novelty, factor. once a player knows how to play against them its done.Bowser and Pichu are still largely unuseable for all realistic tournament play. Some low tiers have potential to do well, such as pikachu, DK, roy, ylink, ect. others like pichu bowser mewtwo ness can be played better and thus seem like they have potential, but will still be easily defeated by a simple strategy from a real character.

Characters are only as good as they are good at dealing with your opponent. If they can't do that, they're not good.
how DARE you even mention there being an "azen jr.". if that ever happened the universe would collapse upon itself with the overload of amazingness. it can barely support 1 azen as it is!!!!!!Well, assuming a scenario where all players are at an close level of skill, the low tiers players will always place the worst. I doubt we'll see a Azen or Chu Dat Jr. rise.
Make sure you brush your teeth after you're done. Ken beat Azen in almost every character ditto. OOPShow DARE you even mention there being an "azen jr.". if that ever happened the universe would collapse upon itself with the overload of amazingness. it can barely support 1 azen as it is!!!!!!
I think the reason azen has the "master of diversity" title, is because he uses 'strange' or non-high tier characters sometimes in tournies. ie at SAVII he used luigi pikachu and link.Clearly peach and bowser are worth far more diversity points than the rest of the cast. Just look at them. Bowser can grab in the air! Peach has the float cancel. Those two qualities alone put them in a whole other galaxy in comparison to the other characters, that's why.
On the contrary... I have never made a comment about my opponent's tier placement. I just compliment them and move on.Best thread ever. If you play Low Tier you're trying to hide that you suck at this game by using the john "im using a sucky character thats why i lost" or "the charcter u play owns my character cuz hes higher tier".
greatest quote ever.. but it is true that counterpicking is what wins tournaments."I wanna be unique like everyone else"
Bull****! What HIGH level Peach player have you own with your link? Beat maybe.....but own?...no way in your life dude. I hope Your not refering to me because if you are.your on drugs....you will never own me with my Peach.beat, maybe but not own dude. And all you do with link is spam weapons. You spam so much that the player gets annoyed and does not think when they fight. thus, falling for your little tricks, that is not having a good Link.and you are not goog with every character in this game that you say you are. Please dont make a fool out of your self here on the boards....To me personally the tier list means nothing to me. It is really all about mindgames!
I can play good with every character except bowser and mewtwo. And the only reason why I dont know how to play with those two yet is because I just never really "tried them out"
yet. Ive owned peaches at high level of play with my link. every character is a beast you just have to unlock its hidden power!

If that is the case then how come I aways Beat you with your samus and you spam your @$$ off with the missiles? And yes you do! You spam with every character that has projectiles. And you know it. Ask anyone that plays smash with us. They will tell you the same thing. you have no fighting skills up close, all you do is run, to get space and spam. the only time you come up close is when the person is up close and gets hit in the spamming. I can get through that spamming bull very easy with Peach. Other characters, no cause I get ticked very easily and the way you fight annoys me.run and spam tickes me off, witch make me play dumb and give you the upper hand and then, win the battle. You can not fight up close, and you know that, me, Dionis, and the rest of us all say the same thing to you. You know we are fight. At full power, you will not beat any of usI took it a little far when i said I "owned" peaches. I was going to edit the post yesterday and say ive "beaten" peaches at high level of play but thought it would'nt matter since it was about 4 PAGES BACK!
And I don't just spam weapons with link. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FIND A DECENT WAY AROUND MY PROJECTILES YOU CALL IT SPAMMING!
And while doing friendlies in the killa fox tournamant ive beaten peaches with my link.
Just beacause he spasm doesnt really mean he has no fighting skill XD~ samus,link and any other character with a wide barrage of projectiles is meant to spam the **** out of u dark pch i wana face ur peach with my Link next tim theres a tourney/ smash fest near us XD~If that is the case then how come I aways Beat you with your samus and you spam your @$$ off with the missiles?

Again, you're forgetting the people who play low-tier characters, and while they may not win any tournaments, continue to play because they enjoy their character choice.No, seriously, there's two kinds of people who play this game:
1) People who suck and since they suck, they use a character under Gannon on the tier list(common excuses are "I play to have fun" or "I'm not a sellout, so, I use low tier").
and
2) People who are good/trying to be good and use anyone from Fox down to Gannon on the tier list.
Low tiers are for fun and for certain counters(which rarey work). And no 1 say Chu or Azen,cuz Chu and Azen both won't use anyone under gannon anymore, and Chu's pichu is only winning when he plays some1 the 1st 3 or 4 times, then he gets owned.
Someone can be good with a lower tiered character, but that doesnt change the fact that the character still sux.

Dude, you have to see it too belive it, I play this dude all the time, I know what he does. Fight him hand-to-hand and you will soo own his in that fight. He has no combat skill, all he does is spam. Belive me, I know what he is gonna do and how he fights. he cant beat me when it comes to tech skill/ fighting skills.Just beacause he spasm doesnt really mean he has no fighting skill XD~ samus,link and any other character with a wide barrage of projectiles is meant to spam the **** out of u dark pch i wana face ur peach with my Link next tim theres a tourney/ smash fest near us XD~

sure we can fight, I except your challenge. who are you by the way, have we met before?
heh heh heh..........HA HA HA HA HA!!!! dude, I'll bring my wack @$$ roy up in public. ALL MY CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME STINK *EXCEPT FOR ZELDA, I CAN DO SOME STUFF WITH HER* but yea, my other characters suck. Peach, I played with her since Day 1. DAY 1 DUDE! So of course she will be like the best I have, I just now started picking up others and it is not easy for me because im so acustom to Peach. Its very hard in my part. And Peach is not an easy character to pick up at PRO level. You try to use Peach like Mike G and wife(which are pro's then come back too me. I could care less about how bad my others are, Peach is my main, and when it comes down to playing against ALL characters in this game, all I need is Peach. the others are just for fun, Peach is for serious play. You got some nerve......omg........really, you have some nerve......Dude.... I PLAY FOX!!!!! How......No really HOW can you say at the VERY least you have better tech skill than me????? Omg....you have no idea the skill it takes to play fox. And the only true character you have good fighting skills with is peach! (I refuse to talk about your roy to the public)
Ouch... why you hurt me so bad Doodah?No, seriously, there's two kinds of people who play this game:
1) People who suck and since they suck, they use a character under Gannon on the tier list(common excuses are "I play to have fun" or "I'm not a sellout, so, I use low tier").
