I think we need to work on 2 tier lists
One for 1vs1 matches and another for free-for-all, since it's for these two that Sakurai tries to get the right balance

What factors go into that exactly? Ideally, I believe that a character's ability to keep characters "out" or to force them into situations which they cannot respond well too should be valued more highly than other traits such as ability to get KOs or how far from the stage they can recover. Olimar can pretty much block most characters in this game despite not having the greatest recovery or knockback resistance.

I see Jiggs having more favorable match-ups since she could have a playstyle that is hard to combat for some lower tier'd characters with not the best tools and traits. But, as humans we make mistakes and things such as not being able to comeback from a lot of hits (jiggs) means you have to make fewer mistakes with her to succeed even if you have the winning strategy and that plays apart in one's success. Ultimately, that probably why jiggs must stay near the bottom of the barrel.
She can't approach, kill reliably, has relatively few safe moves on block, and dies hella early. She sucks.

Just do nothing, stand still and wait for Jiggs.
She's super easy to punish.

Jufflypugg is bad, but not as bad as Fox.

I don't get it. How is spamming that all over SWF going to help the fight against Google+?

Shouldn't you post it around websites that are actually owned by google? I don't think your current strategy is going to help Bob win his war tbh

what if you main a low tier because you like that character?
and why are all the iconic characters in low?

The new smash will fix that hopefully. I hear bowser is getting some mean upgrades. Nobodies like MetaKnight and Ice Climbers can take their rightful place behind Link and Mario.

Ice Climbers and Mk are the only 2 characters that deserve to stay. They are reminders and pillars of what Smash used to be (fast and/or cheap), but has now slowed down to the point where mid tiers/low tiers seem cool. They need buff everyone around them without nerfing them, and then that will be a better smash game.

I think that Donkey Kong should be able to get a vertical height boost with his Up B if the player mashes the B button.
I also think Side B should be frame 3 and deal 81% shield damage.
Also his Down B should be able to be jump cancelled.

His aerial down B should be a downward hand clap that rockets a shock wave down as a spike.

His Up B should be entirely intangible for the full duration of the ground and aerial variations of the move.
His Dash attack needs to accelerate him twice as fast as his dash, and his usmash should have a hit box the moment his palms face upward, like and arc.\


All his clap moves should produce a shockwave.

Yo, me and you have similar mindsets for buffs on DK, but the upB description is too bogus. Maybe like in Melee, it becomes the "crack" and kills in the air and ground when it first comes out. Also it should be intangible for the first 8 frames and subsequently gets like medium/light armor.

Maybe 10 frames of intangibility.
1-10, strong hit, 4-6.
Seems fair.

Rest should be heavy armour like Yoshi's double jump, so some moves can knock him out, but not all.

Yeah that is cool. Isn't Yoshi's jump armor also damage dependent (based off his damage)? I don't really know as I rarely see or play Yoshis.

Not exactly. It's heavy armor, not super armor, and it only works up to a certain knockback threshold. So if a move has higher knockback than the threshold, Yoshi gets knocked out of it.
And obviously, knockback increases with damage so damage is relevant, but it's not the determining factor.

I do not see the problem as there are different degrees in armor... like weak (snake's cypher, yoshi's double jump), Kirby's stone is medium, but has a set damage to take 25%, and DK's grounded upB, his neutral B, Ike's upB and neutral B, DDD's up B, and Charizard's upB.

I'm revoking your Canadian citizenship as well, even if you aren't Canadian.

The new smash is supposed to be faster than brawl, but somewhat slower than melee...
