Ness has waaaaaaaaaaaaay better aerials. Which is why his recovery is better and he is harder to grab/trade to death. Just DJ+ aerial is better than squirtle's entire recovery.
ness of safe air move (when recovering from off stage) is fair because it is super disjointed/multi hitting/shield poking. Everything else is either OK or ****ty.


Even if Squirtle makes it to the ledge, RCO lag traps him there. Ness is heavy enough to take a grab release from characters that dont chaingrab him. Squirtle is 2nd lightest in the game, easier to grab and has to worry about dying from simply being deadzoned by tilts.
Im pretty sure Not everybody can GR squirtle. im also pretty sure EVERYBODY (but samus) can GR ness.

Yeah ness is heavier. nothing crazy though.

I disagree that squirtle is easy to grab. A good squirtle (like a good ness) shouldn't be fighting on the ground almost at all. fair/bair/ provide god like air mobility (FAR better than ness. squirtle is the wario of air mobility if u consider him low tier)) and uair/dair are very good too so you have plenty of air options.


Ness is a really good character with a grab release problem. He has sick combos, lots of safe options, better range, functional projectiles, a decent recovery and your stock is at risk once you pass 110. Squirtle is a mediocre character with grab release and weight issues + brawl's campy nature working against twofold.
I think you underrate squirtle big time. oh and if u think NESS combos (lol), then what does squirtle do?


And while Squirtle's throw technically is good, its not better in his matchups because he dies from grabs too (because he gets grab released into aerial that kill earlier than his throw). Even Ganondorf can grab release him into a bunch of stuff. Squirtle is a low weight, low range combo character, but his range and weight as soooo bad that he can't really afford to be wrong.

Wrong again about fatigue. It lowers damage AND hitstun. Not only do his combos do less damage overall, but they won't even link as well because despite his opponent being kept close, the hitstun ends too soon. All you really have to do is camp him and space. He can't combo off of a trade and if you've reached kill percents before fatigue hits, the other player is just way better than you.
ive seen reflex take kismet from 5% to 73% due to him being super fatigued. even with reduced hitstun falco didnt have a move that came out fast enough to trade hits with squirtle (and thus stop the combo) because squirtle was buffering each move. now think of what would happen in LOW TIER were nearly every character is grossly slow.

anyways

Dude what i dont think you are realizing is that we are NOT comparing PT to mid tier, high tier or top tier. We are comparing PT to

(±0)
:samus2:(±0) :bowser2:(±0) :falcon:(±0) :link2:(+1) :jigglypuff:(-1)
(±0)
:ganondorf:(±0)

aka LOW TIER.

In low tier, most (if not all) characters are slow (except falcon), cant kill reliably, have bad recovery (except samus) and cant reliably build up damage that well (except samus/mario). Now throw in the beastly squirtle. He would auto be the fastest character air mobility wise (which is a HUGE deal), can combo the best (mario would be 2nd best), jab/tilt lock the fastest/easiest, can GR everyone in LT iirc, has the best killing throw and can OVERALL dish out the most damage the easiest (yes ganon can land a 18% fair or something but its RARE he will land that). And yes squirtle is prob the 2nd lightest in low tier but dude its LOW TIER and in LT even jiggs lasts a decent while. Weight isnt a big deal here and neither is being GR into guaranteed damage.

And that is just squirtle.

Now thrown in charizard and its ovbious that PT is by far the best character in LT and thus should be in mid tier where he belongs.


All Charizard has is dash grab. He basically juggles himself when he gets hit and is suuuuuuuuuuuper slow when he isn't dashing (marginalizing the use of his tilts).
This^ is extremely short sighted/uneducated. Come on man.


Do I even need to explain why ivysaur is low tier?
no. i think ivysaur is 3rd worst in the game. hes mega poop.


Where are these low tier events that were swarmed with pokemon and luigis?
Luigi has never been low tier that i remember (prob because of Boss) but ike/sonic/ness/pt/yoshi def were and they dominated hard. all of 09 and 2010 but i cant search thread on this new SWF.

You seriously under estimate PT dude. The things ive seen reflex do (to high/top tiers, mind you) is OBSCENE. I even fought him about 6-7 times back when i actually played hardcore and he opened my eyes to some PT stuff that shouldn't be overlooked.

Next time you are at Sync's, talk to illmatic about what PT did to his peach. And then ask him what would happen if PT fought LOW TIER. he might throw up all over you.

The way Squirtle interacts with better characters isn't related to how he affects the low tier metagame. Sure Reflex landed a nice combo while fatigued on falco, sure he trashed illmatic pretty good. But didn't you beat a bunch of good ZSS and Peach mains with Samus? Didn't Ally win tournaments with Falcon (who has decent matchups with Wario, Sonic and ROB. A Low tier having 1 good matchup with a good character doesn't make him better against other low tiers.

He isn't super easy to grab if he plays super safe, but with the clock ticking against him, you can't really say call him safe and powerful.

Reflex is really good, but do you really feel like his PT is so much stronger than Boss/Vato/Kirin on Mario, Ally on Falcon, Legan/Mr. R on Link?

The point of me bringing up squirtle beating higher tiers was to help you understand that if he can beat or go even with superior characters (anything outside of LT), think about what he can do to total trash characters like link/samus/jiggs.....ect. I've seen it and its GROSS.

And yeah I think reflex can def beat any low tier main like Vato, scissor, DLA, xyro....ect.

Confirmed Pho loving *******!!!! I get off at 7. We should meet somewhere and carpool over.

Squirtle free. Luigi on the other hand is an entirely different story. But i dont think anyone cares enough to fight for it anyways.
