Not to toot my horn, but I feel that my status is quite true, and can in fact be applied to every pressure/combo orientated character in every fighting game in existence.

I'm not familiar with many other fighting games, but I wouldn't be surprised.

If a character has some impressive enough capabilities, it's all the more likely for more people to call it overpowered.

I am actually not either, but from my experience, fast, pressure characters are just the sort to cause people to cry "nerf pls."

I use pressure for a lot of my characters when I can anyway, it just happens to be something Greninja is excels in. And the complaints often happen to the characters that truly don't deserve it.

Yep.

I think the one I remember most distinctly is a Miiverse post saying "I hope they nerf Sonic", quite a few months before Sm4sh came out.

Hm, I thought Pit being a touch too good was the general consensus?
I've never heard opinions one way or another on Ike, though.

That's a nicer way to put it, definitely.

The Ike complaints were even more hilarious (He was a powerful heavy-weight with a pathetic recovery. at that rate I'm surprised people weren't calling characters like Bowser overpowered) Pit was definitely powerful in the hands of a good player, that's for sure, but I don't think he was cheap. However, what I do consider cheap about him....well, I just couldn't stand fighting the ones who spent their time gliding endlessly under Final Destination to avoid ever getting hit.

I saw Meta Knights do that on occasion too. Luckily, it was a rare sight in both cases.

I used to glide around temple in Basic Brawl for fun. Temple was like a playground of freedom.

I'm also guilty of that.

Temple was a fun place to mess around in general actually. Part of me misses the taunt parties, but for the most part I'm glad they've been toasted.

Certain Taunt Parties were just amazing, but so rare. They're the ones with relatively skilled players who would accept 1v1s while the other 2 messed around without interrupting. Or even more rare, friendly FFAs or 2v2s.
