I feel like resurrecting my old post in response to Shanx's . . .
In all honesty, I can't think of that many Fox players that placed first in any national tournament. Anywhere. In any country. That includes Japanese tournaments, American tournaments, and European tournaments. Maybe Helios did, but I have a feeling he was always beaten by either Doug or EK until the newbloods started to rise up. And I guess Masashi did some regional winnings like the smash opera battles, but when the game started to develop, the scene was dominated more by Sheik/Marth mainers and Aniki's Samus.
The closest American one I can think of is MLG vegas, but that was won by PC who, I guess, you can say is a Fox player since his Fox is about the same as his Falco. But I think everyone considered him to be a Falco main at that time. Ahh . . . after that maybe mlg DC or something dumb back in 05 or something when Isai and Ken did Fox dittos?!?
Really can't think of too many dominant Foxes . . . And in the competitive scene today, most people who mained Fox . . . ended up maining someone else with the sole exception of Chillindude and I guess guys like Caveman and Forward who play Fox more often now.
Anyway, point is that a lot more than 1/5 of the cast is useable. Especially since a certain DK player mopped the floor against some of the nation's best space animal players, and Link/Pikachu/Pichu/Young Link/Doc/Ganondorf/Zelda/etc players (the unconventional ones who aren't supposed to win matches) are placing higher than a lot of the typical shine comboing fox players. Hell, I'd put money that more Peach players could break the top 8 in a grand national tournament right now if everyone represented just because of players like Cort, Vidjo, and Chris.
And Peach really isn't that nerfed IMO. Definitely not Marth . . . You can get away with out camping people with Marth SO much easier.
