Doubles Team Discussion

[SSS]

Hey, guys! I thought we could have a thread discussing Doubles. Doubles is something that I don't think gets enough love. It's a bit more complicated than two players that are good at singles just playing their singles characters. For example, in Melee I hate in teams so I go even though I'm better at . Stuff like that. So talk about it here!

Use this thread to discuss:

1. What characters are good for teams.
2. What characters are good teammates for a given character.
3. What team is best out of two sets of characters (I play A, B, and C; my friend plays X, Y, and Z, what team out of those is best?).
4. General team strategy.
5. Team strategy for a given team.
6. Stages in respect to doubles.

I guess I'll start.

I play , , and . My teammate for tomorrow (and for most tournaments) plays , , and . We like the potential that and have, but I'm not sure if we're there yet in that team to play them in tournament. I'm not sure how good is in teams, and I like in teams. Is good in teams or not, and what are some possibilities for him if he is?

There have been like 10 threads for this, but not many people give a **** about doubles so these threads always end up dying.

+ Team works really well, since having both on stage in the same color allows for instant transformations; Sheik can recover by using Zelda way more effectively, either can transform at a moments notice if needed, etc. It's pretty nice lol. Both have good stage control and good edge-guarding. Their projectiles (needles and Dins) +other jank (Nayru's and Tele) may need some getting used to, but once you know your partner's playstyle/mindset/patterns, it's all bueno.
