If this were melee, yes.

But this is brawl, so no worries.

Trust me, brawl has been balanced out enough so characters won't be superior to eachother by too great a factor.

It basically all comes down to your skill with the character, and how well your character does against other matchups.

Lucas is not a bad character by any means. If this were DK or Yoshi, it might be a little different.

If you like him, play him, get good with him, and don't worry about where he sits on the tier list. If you find that one character consistently beats your Lucas, pick up a secondary character to counter that one.

Gimpyfish. I respect him. Because he defies the tier list. TIRES DON EXITS!







Actually, I believe they exits, I just don't care about them.

I main Bowser and I own high tiers, NPCs or friends. when i first heard of the tier list i just ignored it.

If you want to be very good with a character you need to practice with him/her, perfect her weaknesses and find your opponents downs. You need to believe in and like the character and play them as if you were representing them.

No middle is average, but they can perform well in the right hands, but any character can do well in good hands.

How good or bad a character is neccesarily, simply how they do in tournaments. And to all the Gimpy fanboys, there was hardly anyone else who was that good with a Low tier character, so it's not a very good point to bring out if you're defending "tires dont exitz."

Both Captain Falcon and Ice Climbers were mid tier in melee, and Chu, Azen and Isai consistently won tournaments with those characters. You're only screwed if you play mid tier in games like MvC2.

No not in melee either. Hugs got 2nd at EVO world, with a mid tier which had the most participants of any smash tournament ever IIRC. Mango WON pound 3 which was arguably the most competitive tournament to date with jigglypuff another mid tier. Bum has won countless NY weeklies and tournaments with DK, and has defeated big names like chu dat and got 4th at MLG long island. Captain falcon always does really well. Chu has won big tournaments with ice climbers too another mid tier. Your ********. So is anyone who says melee is just 4 characters. gtfo. The majority of the best players play those 4, thats why they are "high tier" IF the really really talented playesr started migrating to other characters then the tiers would change. Its moreso the player than the character.

Sucks to Tiers! I play Ice climbers and I believe they are low tier but I pwn in the High tiers.



Lawlz at the noobs who choose their characters by how well they do on the Tiers.

Yeah, Gimpy really defies tiers right now just after he didtched Bowser for MK. Good for him, Bowser stinks in Brawl.
