Long Range, Close Range, or Hybrid?

Long Range, Close Range, or Hybrid?

Every Brawl character has his/her own advantages, and disadvantages.

My question is what character type do you generally play as/ main?

Do you prefer long range projectile characters?
Or close-range fighting characters?
Or a Hybrid mix of both?

Explain why you use the type of game you use.



Note*: All characters have close range attacks, this is supposed to be a list of characters that heavily rely on or don't rely on projectiles or close-range combat, for their game.

I can't agree to these terms if you consider Falco hybrid, but Ness long range. They MUST be switched.

Also, expect this thread to fail, because it will. It doesn't currently make much sense to me. Your post is pretty, so props for that.

Better luck next time.

long range = projectiles
short range = no projectiles
hybrid = both

o_O


Toon Link is mid range.

 

[Mith_]

Anybody with a projectile + disjointed hitbox = Hybrid.

This categorization really makes no sense >.>

 

[JacobWins]

its pretty much
long range = projectiles
short range = no projectiles
hybrid = both

According to this, no one is considered long range

 

[Vespa]

Long Range and Short Range are fine but you should probably split Hybrid into other categories.

Toon Link is mid-range, yah, but we have to count that in Long Range too, because Long range could mean anything.

I'd say Toon Link is Hybrid. He does have the option to up and attack enemies, he has the bair combo, the zair --> grab/upsmash/whatever you can get your opponent into.
