Yeah, there are secret costumes (sarcasm). You know, Marth has a sword, and it would be a bit more convincing if you put one in there, and also, if you use photo shop on the trophy description, it would be even more convincing. And do you know what else, I just gave all the good ideas away, now you Can't joke about it anymore (sinister laughs)!
Its called an inside joke. Come back in about 6 months and you may laugh

What? Sheik and Peach both take a crapload of tech skill in Brawl.

Well, depends on playstyle I guess.

Now that I feel like not being an ***...

Zamus: FAir, side B, UAir
Jigglypuff (Melee): Rest and the wall of pain; not much technical skill required for Jiggs either
Peach (Melee): DSmash lololol, FAir, NAir, BAir
Zelda (Brawl): Din's Fire, Smashes, (Anything)Air
Sheik: ...
Marth: ...
Marth is obviously a brute strength player. Keep the attacks coming and your opponent will have a tough time beating you.

I wouldn't say so. Samus has pretty hard hitting attacks, Zelda has VERY hard hitting attacks when used correctly, Marth's attacks are also fairly powerful if you get them on the tip of her sword. Sheik and Peach seem to be less hard hitting now, but before they were quite powerful. I guess Jiggles has some hard hitters as well, although her main one, rest, is pretty hard to aim.

That is what I mean. With people like CF you can hit hard with any part of the attack, but the females require the skill to hit in the right spot.

Well Samus side Smash is moderately strong though not incredibly impressive. But Zeldas up smash and side smash both have a multi hit vacuum effect where if you touch any part of the attack, you are likely to get sucked in and take the full knockback, which makes them both VERY easy to sweetspot.

I agree with some people here about it takes skill to play a character regardless of their gender, everyone has strong and weak points, and that gender doesn't take a role in their skill play. If you think about it peach is quite powerful.

That's probably because Zelda is made to finish off the damge shiek inflicts (it says so on her melee trophy).

I thought your point was about female characters, not aggressive characters. In fact, I just checked, and you never used the word "aggressive" at all in your initial post. You did use "Zela," "brute force," "brute strength," "precice accuracy," and "female heavyweights" (the last of these is not true, incidentally, since both Zelda and Samus are in pretty heavy weight classes).

Edit: I forgot "wich reqires" and "for examle."
I'm not sure about Samus, but Zelda is lightweight =/

I also agree with the OP to the degree that Zelda should really be used as a defensive character. She really doesn't have the approach to be a decent offensive character.

Is it me, or are we the only ones who think Marth and Shiek are males?
well your wrong
sheik isnt a male. wtf where did you get that?

and princess martha obviously is female. why would a guy wear a tiara? and if you try to spew that crap about its his sister, he could just like have it as a keepsake. doesnt need to wear the dam thing

Well Marth is jappaneese and they might do something like that over there, and for Shiek just look at HIS Melee trophy, in fact, do that for both of them and you will see that the pronouns him or his are used in at least one of their three trophies.

How did this come of the question, "Do female characters generally require more technical skill to be good at than male characters?"???

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.

mostly the fact that you dont think martha is a female. and you think shei is a dude


oh yeah, and your topic is trying to seriously ask if female characters are harder to use than male ones
