I just got done looking at the current tier list because I want to learn ZSS (got done witha mid term early and got bored. lol) and i've been thinking about it for a bit.

MK
Snake
Wario
Falco
Diddy
DDD
Marth


Is there anyone else here that thinks that Marth is arguably 3rd-5th? Diddy is also better than Falco.

First off, I'm fairly content with most of this list and I think it generally makes sense. I just have a few perks that I think really take away from certain characters potential.

The fact that Wario is third is beyond a joke IMO. Donkey Kong, Marth, Snake, and a few others have a grab release on Wario which leads to a kill move. You may say, "Yes, that's true but good luck getting a grab on a good Wario." I'm pretty sure that if we are talking about players of "equal skill level" which is what a tier list is made up of (and tourney results) a high level Snake or Marth will get a grab. Wario is not third.

King DDD is not as good as everyone says. Kirby, Meta Knight, Ice Climbers, Falco, and basically anyone who does not suffer a good 60% from chain grab crap does just fine VS him. A great character, but definitely does not deserve to be in the "S" tier. He's far from top character potential. Earlier on in the meta game I would have said "DDD is top character potential and is incredible" but the meta game has changed.

Marth is by far one of the top characters in the game.

-Hes a lot of characters worst match up (Squirtle, Pikachu, Peach,)
-He has the best fair in the game
-his DB is excellent for refreshing your moveset quickly and is one of the best punishers in the game
-The best character at spacing (What Brawl is all about due to loss of tech skill)
-Arguably the best "edge" guarder
-Goes even w MK (Top Marths think its even.)
-Generally a very safe recovery thats hard to gimp (unless your MK)
-Can plank well
-Tilts are all very solid.
-has auto tippers or quick combos from grabs at 0-5% on nearly every character.
-His uair beats out MK's best aerial. <3 LOL
-amongst high tiers is one of the safest when recovering VS MK
-Has even matchups and at worst two bad. (Wolf, DK-Even. Snake and MK-Arguably even,)
-Does not struggle with low tier characters.
-The best at punishing mistakes quickly and effectively.

Cons:

-Light
-no safe kill moves


I think tier list is as follows currently:

MK
Snake
Diddy Kong
Marth
Falco
GAW
DDD

Discuss?

Who are you and where do you live?


NO top Marth's think it's an even match-up vs MK, and half of your points are seriously ********. What the hell did you smoke? PLEASE send some to Maryland ASAP.


Before you make posts like this, please inform yourself more about the current metagame so you can post more intelligently.
