Mr.Sonic main you don't know what its like to play snake and have to navigate rainbow. I can't get anywhere fast enough!!!!

aaaAAAaaa :denzel:


I hope you guys here aren't comparing IC's to MK again -_^b
Hey Dekillsage,

What I meant to say was it's to bad that the IC's cheap zero death chain grab isnt banned ALONG with Meta Knight, ofc, it'd probably be more doubtful for the grab to get banned than Meta Knight himself. Sorry if I confused you. Heheh

But you gotta admit that chain grab can turn the tides of the matchup if IC's are losing.
Yeah it can, and the grab is a great aspect of IC. I frown upon though how people can overuse the IC zero death grab and it isn't even limited. Adding with their camping game, avoiding this trap and approaching them has to be MUCH more difficult.

I assume you'd have to be equally cautious with an IC Player as a MK player, because of their amazing potential.

Mk is actually one of the few who can easily separate IC's, meaning having an advantage on them.

lol @ all these people complaining about ICs

They're not even top 5 imo

The REAL Tier list:
1. Mewtwo (he was so broken during development that they removed him the game, it was the only way to balance him)
2. Jigglypuff (nobody can use her correctly and it makes me sad :()
3. Captain Falcon (same as Puff)
4. MK
5. Diddy Kong
6. ICs

Funkmasterblitz,

I can see why you think that, and I really am with you there :), this must partly be why they hit #2 in the tier list, as other characters have a hard time countering, and separating them.

Although, in my opinion, i still think it is possible with other characters to counteract IC, it's just there are much less options, characters other than MK, actually have. MK being flawless, he has fast movement, unpredictability if used correctly, some moves unpunishable, or difficult to punish, like mach tornado.

Makes me glad PS2 receives more love down South.
I feel like the AN would suck the passion I have for this game right out of me. :applejack:

ICs have definitive losing MUs even with the CG. They are kind of like an upgraded DDD. If your character has the tools to fight them (MK, Snake, Diddy, Marth, ZSS, Wario, TL, Wolf, Rob, Peach, Ike, Bowser) you go even or slightly better. If you don't play those characters you get pooped on.

mk is not flawless. he has grab release problems, light weight, and a low airspeed making him reliant on gliding for aerial mobility

There's no peace to be found, anywhere.
lux keeps saying that bowser goes even with the ics, and im going to keep saying hes full of crap until I get video proof.
Bowser probably has some decent tools in the match up. I wouldn't say its very good at all though.
Doesn't Pika have a pretty good ICs matchup too? (I think he still loses, but relatively speaking.)
Not really no. Maybe with infinite timer :denzel:

Not sure what you mean by troll, even the IC panel for the MU Chart was split on whether the MU against Bowser was even or not when it came to voting.

Only reason it didn't move on was we were limited in number of changes we could suggest


TLDR - Whirling Fortress, Flame Breath

were the differences in opinions in the ics pannel that drastic because -4 and 0 is quite the difference. however, if by any chance lux isn't being serious, disregard this entire post.

From top to bottom Japan is what NY/NJ thinks they are. NY/NJ is still very strong though.

Kind of like how 2 NY/NJ players were in Grand Finals at Apex while the Japanese players didnt get to Grand Finals? Now Im not straight up saying NY/NJ > Japan, but saying they arent comparable is laughable.

And the year before it was two Japanese players in Grand Finals, what's your point?

I don't actually care about your answer, just wanted to point out the flaw in your argument.

My argument is that NY/NJ and Japan are comparable... lol...

Apex 2012 - Japan Top 2
Apex 2013 - NY/NJ Top 2

How is there any flaw in that, especially when the 2013 results are more current...
