I'm not sure if I'm allowed to make a thread for this... if I ain't n this is for some reason should be in diddy social... my b...

If you haven't seen the updated tier list go to tactical discussion form.. [id post link but on my phone]

But anyways we all saw 3rd or 4th in our grasps... n now its known we are 3rd. (I'm quite happy cuz I've been sayn diddy shud be 3rd since he was 10th)... so yea let's discuss :]

Also just a random thought...
Sheik in melee was #1 on the melee tier lists for 5 or 6 versions... for her crazy gimping ability n other attributes... now then the next tier list she was dropd n marth n fox were seen as better characters.... now putting metaknight as sheik from melee... Does any1 think as brawls metagame continues that in future tier lists we can see diddy overcome snake and evenutally metaknight?? Discuss

Metaknight is a melee sheik with three times as many options, so he will stay put forever.

Where he should be imo

I can't ever picture him being considered better than Snake, but he is definitely top-3 worthy. Yay for even moar new Diddy players flooding the boards thanks to tier placings :)

Yea 1st it was a d3 bandwagon... then a bit of falco... then a lot of random wario hype... n lemme guess ppl r gunna think diddy is all hype too... ;] I doubt it... n no way in hell is ic's taking 3rd... they rose to exactly where I said they'd be... n falco n marth got nothn on us... right now with the current metagame this is exactly where he belongs...
N Ok so I kinda didt think so for mk either it was just a thought..but what about snake?

It's hard to deny that this is where Diddy should be.

I can see his position fluctuating with popularity.

Usually I would be upset that we are OP but then i remember that we actually made Diddy what he is and without us, he can't do much. Other characters like Marth, or MK are naturally good and it doesn't really matter who uses them. We actually earn our position.

Kirby didn't drop low....

I know he's at C-tier but ey, he's still 16th place and.. wait what was his place before 16th? I think it was the same.

Snakes overrated, I can't see him being 2nd for much longer.

My best guess says he should end up around 4th perhaps.

Why do I sense an increase in Peach and Luigi players? Lol.

Agreed that the tier list as of now is largely based on how you do against Metaknight. That's why ROB isn't higher.

But congrats Diddys. It's hard to deny that y'all spent countless hours discovering new techs while we Pikachus were just QACing around. ESAM needs to stop it with these infinites... people are going to start picking up Marth just to deal with Pikachu.

I just meant to deal with Diddy.
Even then, there are 10x as many MKs as Diddys. No point in learning Peach or Luigi (Especially when you can learn a character that has a good match up with him, i.e. MK) unless you have a serious Diddy weakness (maybe M2K and Ksizzle will pick up Luigi someday) and even then, it would only be used as a once in a blue moon secondary.

Edit: I over exaggerated...there's only 3x as many MKs as Diddys.

Too true. Some characters do have a serious Diddy weakness, but they also most likely have a MK weakness to go along with it. Olimar for instance.

Our meta game isn't dead yet man! (Or is it?)

And wow, Snake didn't change in position O_o

Well he deserves it a bit

If he we're to move, he would be 3rd but I'm sure he'll still be 2nd

If diddy wasn't #3 on this tier list I would of been a very confused smasher.

At least I'm still one of your very few disadvantaged matchups, even if it isn't that bad.

If other (really good) players learn how to use our Bananas against us well, Diddy would go down... But I think it has been shown that the really good Diddys simply don't let them get control. With that argument in mind, I think Diddy will stay where he is, simply because we won't be able to rise anymore once people learn how to use Bananas well (but I think we have the tools to keep us from dropping, though).

Decent placing.
BUT I really don't want to see anymore diddy players. Too many.
We used to be a rare thing until scrubs started noticing pro diddy's.

I'm glad to see Diddy get the recognition that he deserves. I remember back when Brawl first came out I would talk with Nanerz about Diddy and how all this techniques and combo ability would come bring him higher soon enough.

Diddy deserves to be this high up and I'm sure that all that talented Diddy players can help keep him there.

Diddy deserved it, with the results and match-ups it was inevitable!
And there are alot of great Diddy players like ADHD, AlphaZealot and much more.
Diddy is blessed with great rep.

We have wave of new people coming everymonth because Diddy keeps doing awesome stuff.

Side note: Asakura, do you know if N4N3RZ still plays?

I'm not really sure if he does, I haven't talked to him in awhile. It'd be a shame if he didn't though. He was so good.

When you look at Diddy's popularity in conjunction with his point placement, you should see Diddy maintaining the status quo or gaining very slightly in the near future. Long term I am unsure.

Long-term he's not going to drop out of High-Tier. Yes, if other characters magically learned how to use Bananas effectively, that'd suck, the the fact of the matter is that we're the ones who control the Bananas in the first place. Unless they can learn how to spawn them against us (lol), we'll remain high-tier.
