These kind of scenarios have always bugged me, people claiming "broken", "wrothless", the game has 3 days out officially, it is too early to call things either direction, I am sure the guy who make that comment is better than me and I am not questioning his skills, but claiming a character is trash, come on! better start claiming that after the game has sometime out and other talent players have tested the game, people don't even know for sure how the ledge mechanics work in this game, there are tons of mechanics that are being currently tested, so at least wait until the gameplay mechanics are clear, and the characters have been tested extensively to make such claims, even if you are a pro you can misjudge.
Even in if Palutena turns out to be low tier, I don't really care, I am not going to be in any super talented elite Smash tournament exe PLUS! anytime soon, as long as I enjoy and my skill is good enough to beat people, I don't care if my name isn't written with gold letters in the book of best smash players in the world (but if some how that happens I will not complain). I will keep having fun with the characters I like.
Also on another note have you released that Palutena is supposed to be in a Hot Spring at her victory picture!?
