Sikarios
Smash Cadet
I think the fact that Ivysaur is the worst of the three Poke's was intentional on the developer's behalf. Like ya'll said, the other two are SO GOOD in many matchups that I see Ivy as a sort of balancer to the UBERUBERness of Squirtle and the fact that Charizard is one of the best heavyweights next to perhaps DK or DDD.
Ivy is not w/o her strengths, though. Bottom tier, really?
A lot of what Emblem Lord said is true, for example, Ivy's projectile is horrible and should hardly ever be used. The bullet seed is not too great either, and Ivy is easily gimped.
But what Emblem didn't mention is Ivy's above average spacing abilities. Ivy does pretty great from the ground due to the good jab, Fsmash, and grab moves, and I'm of the personal opinion that Ivy is pretty good in the air as well, but not in the same way a G&W or a Wario might be.
I think Ivy serves her role between the three, which is, to control the fight while the other two get their "wind" back. Ivy has the most trouble against spammy characters, but, if played defensively (and much differently) than the other two, she's not w/o her merits.
