Luigi -4

Good, Luigi should go down and be below Mario.

☆ You are worst than the guy I know that thought Peach sucked because "she's not like she was on Melee" but end up being a good/alright character. Just about most of your post say that Luigi is trash and it's sickening because you have no real proof. >.> ☆

Marth X(
Why?

☆ Marth?!? Look at Kirby's placement, that alone is ****ed up. D= ☆

This is what Kel said:

I've asked my crew about the best in Japan. This is the ranking list they gave me:

1) Rain- Falco player from Tokyo
2) Masashi- Pit player from Kansai region (Kyoto and Oosaka)
3) Souther- Snake player from Kansai

So if Masashi is the 2nd best that might mean that Masashi has the best pit, or is at least really good with pit.

Here is a couple of vids of Masashi vs Souther:

And here are 2 vids of 2 other japanese pits that I found, Konapit and Kokeiro. I have no idea their skill level since I've not faced many pits, but the ike and diddy they are playing are for sure good. So that probably means they are good as well.

Judging from how Masashi plays I would say that he uses pit in a fashion that is similar to falco, but taking it to the extreme. Falco usually camps someone to get the approach, but Masashi both matches sort of continued it offstage with ledge camping. I'm not sure if that's the best way for pit to counteract snake and was just doing the match like that for that reason, but it might explain why pit is so high.

The other 2 pits I mentioned didn't really seem to do that.
