It sounds like a joke. Why is Toon Link, Marth, Falco in Low Tier?
G&W Mid tier? Hmm..

There are way too many things wrong in that list to point out.

And you forgot Ganondorf, Pikachu, Ness, Lucas, Kirby, MK, Dedede, & Olimar.

each pokemon should be rated separately as they are completely different characters in their own rights, and the pokemon trainer rated as a whole as well. perhaps each poke in italics?

i'd say pokemon trainer should be rated as a combination of the best two of his pokemon. why? because a smart trainer will be able to use his worst pokemon wisely at the end of a stock (particularly if it is stock tank Charizard). or even better, knocking the opponent away at the end of their stock, switching to the least effective pokemon, getting a quick ko, then switching on to the second of your better pokes. so it isn't weighing pt down as much as a simple average of the three pokemon would suggest. not to mention all three have their own match ups where they excel.

say one of the pokemon was sonic. sure, he isn't that great. but he DOES have advantageous match ups. so you use him the majority of the time against that match up. but against other characters where he isn't as useful, you can minimize the amount you use him by smart, careful switching.

and none of the three pokemon are as bad as sonic is. :\ all three are at least mid (yes, even charizard). most accept squirtle and ivysaur as top mid or even high, but zard seems to languish on in a lot of bottom tiers. well i don't understand why, since he has excellent horizontal recovery, decent vertical recovery, quick, ranged attacks (specifically ftilt and dtilt) which lend to a good ground game, flamethrower, rock smash ****, very strong smashes, and a nice air game that lends itself to excellent gimping with his extra third jump. fair is nice, uair has a surprising hitbox and stays out for quite a while, dair is a serviceable meteor that needs timing, nair is decent for approaches, and bair is a two hit attack that when sweetspotted gives good knockback. he also has an amazing grab game with that long neck of his. and his surprising dash speed complements it very well.

sure he's big and easily juggled. but so are a few characters that are hanging out waaaaaay higher than zard is right now.

plus you can always use his down special. ;)

and OBVIOUSLY, to use pokemon trainer effectively, you have to learn how to use all three pokemon efficiently. as if all three were your main. because that's what you are asking as a pt main.

clearly, no one is at that point yet, and likely won't be for a while. but if/when someone gets there, watch out. because honestly, having three separate characters at your disposal is an advantage, not a disadvantage (assuming you are skilled with all three).

I agree with alot of what Steeler said. I want to believe that a dedicated player could make P.Trainer a tournament worthy character. The other thing to remember is that each pokemon has their own weaknesses (for example Ivy's recovery) that could be exploited by smart opponents.

Ok, my opinions, I think right now it is blatently obvious snake is making top tier.
And for the other top tiers I would have to say... DeDeDe (Biased opinion slightly), his Air attacks are amazing, he has some great KO moves and waddle dees make him a good anti projectile character. Falco destroys him though.
the other one I think will be top tier is ice climbers, some videos on youtube show that they bring back comboing at its best and they are slightly easier to use.
For Bottom tier I would have to say Sonic and Metaknight, they both lack good killing moves and are more spamming joke characters in my opinion (sonics b attack >.>)

he's talking about melee.

and even if you mean melee too... being sheik is being better than zelda. that's the point. ko potential included.

The rest, IDC.
You've got 5 people in Top and High? And DeDeDe is high probably, Wario and DK are probably Mid. Wario suffers from vast range issues and DK is DeDeDe's sex toy. No, worse than a sex toy.

I agree, more characters should be placed in top and high tier in that list. DK is definitely not high tier material, but Wario is still controversial over being either middle or high tier.

^Olimar is def Mid. or High, Wolf ***** him bad

Wario has a very small range. making him Middle Tier

Meta Knight can deal damage so fast, and has a lot of combos and attacks are fast no way hes in the bottom, hes up to Shiek's melee standards

-I rest my case, correct me if I'm wrong

I'm not liking the lack of love for Ganondorf. He's slow and stout but he's got tons of KO potential and it has been proven that Fair is really good if you can sweetspot it.

He's got some lousy matchups but he's not as awful as Captain Terrible ****ing Hitboxes and Link "I can't land a KO to save my life."

The gap between snake and the rest of the characters that, in the eyes of snake, they are almost equal on the tier list. They might range between 1 and 3, while snake is 100.

Metaknight can deal with Snake easily, not to mention a few other characters who can take advantage of the fact his air game sucks, and his recovery is easily gimped when done wrong.
