Well, captain falcon is considered widely to be gay lol (im not a homophobe). But Zelda is completely different from most female characters. You can rely on brute strength wit h her, and Peach uses her aerials, but you need cleverness to main Peach.
you have just dared to bring the wrath of the great captain falcon upon yourself. may whatever god who will listen have mercy on your soul.

prepare to be FALCON PAWNCHEDDDDDD

I guess, but I don't think that would merit anything. Some probably do need more time before going into fierce fights like any other male character on there (Peach), while another is just as good as them (Zelda). However, why judge skill on the character's gender? It barely make any sense whatsoever.

Sheik, Zelda, and Peach do not need more technical skill, in either game. Zelda has attacks that KO at under 100%. Zero Suit Samus' Side+B is insane. Samus is one of the heavier characters in Smash.

Your entire hypothesis is wrong.
This. Also, I take it you've never fought a Zelda who could effectively used Din's Fire or her hyphen smash or a ZSS could effectively use her B up or Dsmash...

Do you think that playing as a female character needs more technical skill than playing as a male character because you can't rely on brute strength? For examle, you never see a Zela player using brute force to kill. Her most popular killing move is her kick, wich reqires precice accuracy. Keep in mind that there are no female heavyweights, and Superdoodleman uses Peach as a main.
i think i kill most with zelda's utilt and uair. they kill easy without sweetspot.

i almost never fair/bair kill.

Well, we aren't really debating about Ivysaur's gender, and I'm fine that my main isn't being disputed on gender here (Outside Ivysaur, no one disputes anything here). Trust me, I am not a noob. And on the Shiek gender thing, according to wikipedia, on certain occasions, Shiek has been called a male, but it is relatively controversial what Shiek's gender is, and by the design, I'll guess female. And finally, I checked the guides and all, no hidden costumes, trust me, and Stop lying.

not trying to force my opinion on you, but i accept that oot/melee sheik is a male (despite the voice in melee), but brawl sheik im certain is a girl (shape, hair).


^^see, look at the hips and chest. not womanly at all XD


again, i don't want to dispute this. i wouldn't even have posted this, it just seems that this guy is being reasonable and somewhat confused.

I meant brawl design, not Melee design. And thanks for the help, at least one person sees me as reasonable.

It depends on which female character and which male character you are talking about.

1. Zelda does require brute force. Her aerials and smashes are among some of the strongest moves in the game but she doesn't combo. She has more in common with the heavy weights in terms of playstyle.

2. Sonic is about the furthest thing from a brute force character that I could think of, and he's male.

3. There are technical characters, and non-technical characters belonging to both genders.

This thread is pointless, cause there is one female who doesn't require any skill whatsoever, and her name is Marth. I think I deserve a win button for this comment. :)

I think it's better that way i main Peach and she isn't that strong but i still can smash
male characters i know it's hard and all but it's better well for me.

It defiantly requires skill. Especially with Peach because she doesn't have a lot of smash attacks. And I guess Zero Suit Samus too
Male characters like Link and Captain Falcon have multiple strong attacks in the air and on the ground.
I think if your good with a girl player than that shows how good of a player you really are :)

Everyone has 3 different smash attacks if I'm not mistaken. I think you mean that Peach lacks smash attacks that can deliver fast KOs.
