I like this list for the most part, and even though he doesn't know everything, he explanations show how much he does know, and you can repsect that. I personally agree the most with IC's, Pokemon trainer and Ness, since I know an dplay with Aposl and gimr often, and i ended up picking up Ic's as a result. Its going to get to the point where one grab will end a stock easy, unfortunately we dont have too many big name players, and that's really the only issue. Ness will suprise you, and has several good setups for jablocks and other traps that are relatively realiable. I'm suprised that you didn't mention Sonic's ******** recovery OR his edge gaurding ability, which IMO is pretty dumb too, and does make up for his lakc of kill options. I also think that not sidesteping is a pretty bad statement to say about sonic since a ton of damage comes from throw combos and setups, so beware of that. Combine this with Sonic players still placing, (especially in MD/VA) and i think he still deserves mid tier, IMO. its just that he takes so long to play right.
I'm looking forward to discussion on this thread, especially the things I'm concerned with.
