Actually I'd say he has disadvantages against Falco, MK, and Pikachu, and probably many more that are arguable like Pit, Toon Link etc.. Lets Face it Kirby's overall matchups against potentialTop/High Tiers is not that good at all. I'd say at best he's around the top of Middle in a 6 Tiers system with Top, Very High, High, Mid, Low, and Bottom.
Against Falco I could see an even matchup, mainly because Falco is heavily dependent on lasers and the CG, both of which Kirby has ways of getting around through ducking and a light, floaty characteristic. Kirby's awesome recovery also makes him relatively immune to early % spikes, another important part of Falco's game.
Is it because it shuts down 90% of approaches and projectiles, hits hard on the tip, and it practically unpunishable? =P
That's exactly why he at least places in the middle of tournament standings. Pit, Pika, and MK all only have slight advantages. Pit has arrows, but has difficulty landing bairs against Kirby and must rely on the fsmash to KO Kirby. Kirby can also gimp Pit easily and lives longer. However Pit's arrows make up for the fact that he dies earlier as Kirby may take 5~10% approaching. Aerial Hammer saves him from horizontal KOs and Pit sucks at KOing vertically.
Funny, I LOVE Marth's f-tilt for exactly those reasons.
Basicially this, I love it when I use him, but against me against anyone other than MK....ughhhhh...
lolz I love supports
As Link? Your bombs are your best bet because if I mistime my F-tilt, I get an explosion in the face. Not to mention you can fake out with Bombs with drops -> aerial -> throw and weird stuff like that. That'll help you stay unpredictable.
You might want to consider a six tier system. It is kind of odd to see your high and low tiers larger than your middle tier. With all the tournament viable characters in brawl, you can create three tiers of characters that can compete and win tournaments.
Ice Climbers are the characters I want to comment on. They are in high-Mid tier. Their tournament results are horrible, they have the disadvantage against anybody with spacing, which is anybody above Lucario. I would place them above Toon Link.
Dude, did you base that tier list on the previous poster's tier list. Except for low tier, everything looks almost identical to Trespayne's. Either that or we have a VERY good idea on what the first tier list is going to look like. No offense dude.
Dedede seems a bit high. He has an awesome chaingrab and is certainly a good character but not the third best in game :/ He should be below everyone else in your high tier in my opinion.
That may be true. I'm biased, however. I play Desu sometimes, and he's the best Brawler in Georgia...and a King Dedede main.
I genuinely believe that Samus is the worst fighter in the game. Captain Falcon has high mobility and moderate KO power, two things that Samus wishes she had. Also, Samus dies quickly, has a mediocre projectile game that most people can blaze right through, and falls slower than anyone except Jigglypuff.
Sure have. I also gave up playing Brawl competitively in general. I only play with my friend Kevin these days, and I mostly use Marth.
Mario's only ranked so low because he's really lackluster and doesn't particularly excel at anything. Also, there are his tournament rankings to consider.
There's no point to any list besides Snake, Meta Knight, and then everyone else.
Yeah, I'd say that if your character is widely regarded as being lower on the tier list than...say...Fox, then I hope you like losing, because you'll be doing a lot of it. I think that beyond the top ten on Ankoku's rankings, there's very few fighters that stand a chance of victory, if any. Reminds me of Melee to a degree. After Ganondorf, there really aren't many characters winning tourneys. Maybe Link and WEEGEE.
Which kinda makes me sad, cuz while I am decent with marth/ROB, I just don't find them as fun to play compared to mid-tier characters like ZSS, and Zelda/Sheik.
I love playing as Samus. I just constantly lose with her due to her sucking. However, I just took a look at Ankoku's character rankings, and apparently Samus, ZSS, and Captain Falcon are higher on the list now than Ike, Lucas, and Toon Link. Weird.
