i'd say EVERYBODY'S game relies on them being unpredictable, don't you?
Not to Wario's extent, no. Your opponent can't see your Wario waft coming if you want it to do anything, for example. Also, Wario's bizarre movements make him rely more on mindgames than many other characters: eg, his odd spinning attacks like spotdodge and nair.
The point is, he still should be in high tier because a tier list is based on who wins tournaments, and take a look at Ankoku's character list, which I know is a bit of a popularity contest but still provides the most accurate list we have to date. Besides, it's not like Wario is a terribly popular character.
i'm just not convinced that kirby deserves to be in high tier. and yes, i have played good kirbys. i'm not saying he's low or bottom tier, i'm just saying he's not high.
Yeah, he really is. I'm sure you prolly just think I'm biased because he's my main, but he really is a good character brought down only by light weight and lack of a projectile.
you're WAY oversimplifying the pt's individual pokemon. charizard has the most strength, yes, but he is also more than fast enough to not get hit out of everything. all of his tilts, all of his specials, up and down smash, all of his aerials, and jab are all actually surprisingly fast. you don't have to fsmash with him all the time, just like you don't have to fsmash with snake all the time.
Please don't explain to me how to use PT, I already use him a lot. Charizard is a good character what with his stuff and other stuff, but you can't use him forever, and if you try, he quickly becomes a not-so-good character. That's what brings down PT, that he can't be used consistently. See my last post for the whole thing on why that's bad.
squirtle is actually the slowest of the three pokemon, so it kind of worries me that you're making that statement (especially when you're berating me in the same post over kirby...). squirtle has so much aerial control and priority on his attacks that he has been compared to melee's jigglypuff. melee's jigglypuff was a speed character?
Unlike Melee Jiggz, he can't WOP as effectively, he has crap recovery, and no rest. He's really more like Brawl's Jiggz than Melee's anyway. Also, using Squirtle usually ends up with the turtle dying hella early, like at 80% from a decent smash attack.
ivysaur... is mostly based on range, yes. but ivysaur has a lot of power on some attacks as well, so he's not only a range character. ivysaur is also a freaking WALL. razor leaf cuts through or cancels out almost all other projectiles, and vine whip and bullet seed allow ivysaur to completely control the air in front and above him. i could go on and on about ivysaur's aerials and smashes. his tilts are somewhat lackluster though.
I know all about Ivy. Look back about 50 pages and you'll see me defending her. However, I conceded multiple times that she belongs in low tier, but certainly not bottom tier.
i'm not trying to paint pt as top tier. i'm just saying, each of his pokemon is too good for low tier, and pt as a whole is too good for low tier. ivysaur, the worst of the three, is probably the only one who brings the pokemon trainer into "low tier" territory.
If the Pokemon were separated, which they shouldn't be, Squirtle would be low just because his aerial game doesn't redeem him for his ability to die in two seconds.
Charizard would be mid because he's probably the worst heavy character... Bowser, DK, Dedede, Wolf, and Snake are all better. So he's easily comboed and whatnot, but without as many redeeming qualities.
Ivy would also be low, which you admitted, so I don't really need to debate that.
That seems to average out as upper low to me, I dunno if they teach math where you live.
Plus, Pokemon Trainer, who is a VERY popular character, can't even do well in tournies. That seems like low tier material to me.
