Kinda figured. Looking at Link in that first E-4-all vid (06 that is) he looked like crap. But I hoped he was just odd. Then these vids came and looks looks stiff.

I may get flamed for this but I think Link is at LEAST high tier in melee *shrug* nowhere to go but down. Same with Samus. They are both extremely underrated.

Hoping for balance none the less. :)

Link is king of the Low tiers. Lol. Definitely not high tier.
I think he, along with Luigi and DK, were pushed to mid tier this year, but no one updated the tier list.

Can someone attending the expo check Ike's dash attack next time? It's the only move we don't know about so far. Maybe throws, taunts, speed comparative and alternate outfits too. Is the newcomer we know less about.

I really wish more people would play as Pit. I seriously think he could be one of the best characters in the game, but other characters seem to appeal more for whatever reason.

I played a lot as Pit, and he's really a blast. I didn't really go into a detailed analysis, but I can tell you one thing: His recovery is GODLIKE. His Up-B lets him recover from nearly anywhere on the stage. You can also cancel it early and use jumps and attacks.

He's really awesome. I can't wait until February to play as him.

Seriously. Every patch yoshi takes a nerf stick to the face. This hurts me so much.

Well, Yoshi got a few improvements this time. Sure, you can't DJC, but it at least allows you to attack while double jumping. Longer range for a few attacks, Yoshi had the shield problem in Melee, and the new up +B seems to greatly reduce the height you lose when doing an up+B. It's very little in Brawl, but in Melee it's the same momentum you fall at, so you lose roughly a double jump's height in Melee.

I say Yoshi seems to have been improved some. Too bad we'll still have to roll... Oh well. So no, I don't think they gave Yoshi a nerf stick to the face. Besides, if you were, say, a casual, would you be frustated if you double jumped, tried to defend yourself by attacking, and ended up stopping your height and falling? Yeah, I would too. I think DJC was removed for the casual's sake, in the least. Makes it so you can attack while still recovering.

EDIT: The game was fun and had awesome mechanics, though. It's just that the character balance was whack. Everything else was mostly fine. Just some characters ruled and some sucked balls, and the gap was HUGE, bigger than most fighters, actually.



Other than that, the game seems much more balanced than Melee. Try and tell me Melee had a good character balance. Try and tell me that. No, it didn't. It's character balance SUCKED and was, get this, RIDICULOUS. Admit it, people, Melee had issues. It wasn't perfect, and only roughly 5 characters were usuable in the tourney scene out of 26, unless you were really good.


So yeah. Now the four month wait is going to be WORSE. Thanks. ;( But hey, at least the wavedashing threads will die out sooner!

Thx for that tidbit of info about Pit.

All the more reason to Main him along with Peach XD

No character is capable of chain throwing.

The game currently has no ability to reliably combo an opponent since a character can recovery instantly while in the air. This is a huge reason why you SHOULD see a lot of 1v1 matches taking eachother into 200% or higher. Between reliable edge crouch cancleing and the mid-air instant recovery, characters will usually stay in the fight much longer than you're used to.

High priority currently controls the game. That's why Meta Knight is top teir.
As long as the engine has that mid air recovery, the teirs as they stand won't change much.

Haha, that certainly seems true. I went against a Metaknight as Pit and neither of us killed each other in the two minutes we had. We were both around 200% at the end. It went into Sudden Death.

I won that match with an arrow. ;)


Though I have read somewhere that Mario could do some chain-throwing..so maybe it's not entirely dead yet.
