Hi everyone. So, I had a lot of caffeine today and I rarely have caffeine so it makes me go nuts. So I've done something. I've decided I want to explore the relationship on character skill vs player skill - how much player skill does someone need to overcome tiers, for example? This kind of thing is very interesting to me and I'm beginning to think about it. I've even made a chart to illustrate my opinion on Peach relative to the rest of the cast.
I've created a graphic to illustrate my point PERFECTLY.
Notice that, at lower and mid levels of skill, Peach will lose to high tier and even mid tier characters. But once you play at an amazing level of skill and performance, you can handle snakes and even get close to Metaknight, but at perfection MK still wins out and Snake is nearly even. I think the rest of the chart is decently accurate, though off. I'm gonna be working on getting a more accurate chart of this kind of stuff (I find it fascinating to figure out exactly how skill and character ability work together) Also notice I'm taking a jab at snake players by saying that at low and mid levels of skill, its much easier to win with snake than Metaknight, which is true =P
Notice the overlaps ; a mid tier player can beat higher tier characters if he's playing one "skill" tier above someone else. Skill tier and character tier work together to decide the outcome of a match. IMO this stuff is really fun and can be useful in determining character worth.
Please be noted that I spent maybe, 5 minutes on the chart, and it's not totally accurate, so don't get butthurt if I give some tiers too much credit or not enough, its just a really, really tough estimate for now. But I want to work on exploring this kind of thing more later, just wanted to see what people think of the idea!
