you guys all realize that i only included the core nova players, right?

btw it only really matters if your character is anywhere near close to being an acceptable secondary

whatever, i'm sure we can all agree that FCM is totally dominant in this region.

also the reason people play high tiers isn't necessarily because they're concerned about playing the best character but rather that playing worse characters can be frustrating. you can outsmart your opponent and still get negative feedback from the match. it can be frustrating when you aren't able to properly apply your skills only because of your character.

It's a lot easier to learn how to play the top tiers. More guides/stuff on Smashboards, more videos to study, more players to get advice from, etc. Combine that with the fact that their metagames are much more developed than the low tiers and new players are told all the time to pick a "good" character, it's no wonder so many people play top tiers.

Low tiers are boring. Like with Zelda if you want to win you just bair and up smash if you're trolling mers

I stole everything from Mike G and Armada, with some influences of Ryoko, Xelic, Vidjo, and Smiles

I remember the first time I watched M2K and Chillin play fox dittos at AS3... that changed the definition of dittos for me.

Same with BOMB4.. so many big names. T_T I miss it.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen Roger up-air with any character ever.

Then again I only fair so what do i know.

I still think of Fox as the good guy. I feel like it's a lot easier to be efficient/abusive with say, Marth or Falco than it is Fox.

...why doesn't our region have falcos??

Winston lives in a warped world where the best character in the game is victimized lol

For a while I tried uthrow nair/uair/bair as Peach vs certain characters, but it's escapable if you DI where Peach is facing and you jump, so I stopped that. Now I just bthrow/fthrow them and go for gimps. Not intending to kill exactly. Forcing characters in a more recovery position puts them in a disadvantage

But anyways, don't you remember my Zelda Din's Fire to uair combo on you? It was so cool
