for the guy above me, the new Tier list shows the points (which I like). but if you look at it, C. Falcon has the same amount of points as Jiggs, and Fox has the same amount of points as Marth. My guess is they're placing them by seniority. and for most of the characters, you're looking at their weakness, not their strength. Samus can rake damage with spamming projectiles at a distance (meaning avoiding pressure) and then super wavedash or otherwise go in for a kill, which Samus is better at then, oh, say Y. Link (i suggest you change yours before you get torch'd).
anyway, onto Roy. When I got Brawl, I was sad Roy wasn't in it. But then I was happy, because even though Roy was great, I can't say I liked him for his games. I thought the Fire Emblem Games were pretty good, but they got boring after a while. Personally, I like advanced Wars better. And I've never played Roy's game (I think it's still not out in America). Plus, all the leaders in FE had plain personality. Nevertheless, Roy is a sexy beast, but i just kinda picked him up (even before I knew what FE was). In Brawl, my main is Wario, who stars in my all-time favorite series, Wario Ware (and I like Wario Land too). my secondary is King DDD, who's my favorite character in my much loved Kirby games. But now I'm pretty bored of Brawl, but I am not bored of Melee.
