She was always considered high tier, she just didn't have a top player using her until Armada came along.
That's a bit of a weird conclusion. You can't even be listed in such a way before someone even places high like that. There is a reason there is only one top Peach, right? What Peach reminds me of is Pikachu and Mewtwo. Good because of dedication, just higher calibur and she is naturally higher placed than them both.
Fox loses to Falco and arguably Marth (assuredly in PAL), it's not like top tiers are exempt from "bad" matchups.Peach is basically even with fox, I'd think we could deduce that from the fact that Armada and Mango keep winning tournament sets against each other. Yes she has a tough jigglypuff matchup, but that's pretty much her only flaw. She has the tools/abilities and results to support her being top 3 or even the best character in the game, though that's more controversial.
I'd say Fox has no bad match ups. Being God tier would mean your worst match up should be 50-50. It just so happens one of the best players in the world uses Fox. That being said, how can we deduce that Falco, Marth, etc. beats Fox? Hell, I can just say Falcon beats Fox because Hax is pree guud. I still would stand firm that Fox beats Peach pretty bad as well as Falco and maybe not so much M2K's Marth. We saw what happened to Taj at Genesis 2. PewPewU got kinda wrecked back ay KoC as well. The only time I remembered Fox getting bodied by Marth was back Ken and M2K's reign of terror.
5-1's them sure, after getting sent into loser's bracket by that person.They're still a top tier/close to top tier character.
I think I firmly believe that Mango goes to losers on purpuse after years of speculating and after watching the interview video of Mango after EVO. Nevertheless, Wobbles still sent him there. This brings me to the fact that.. well as of now.. Falcon loses to IC's. But Mango proved that they are easy mode both to Wobbles and Fly Amanita more than usually "STYLIN' ON EM." It shouldn't be an argument that IC's are high tier. It's so easy to kill Nana and IC's best option, or at least the reason why you think he's high tier, Wobbling, is now gone.
Melee is better balanced than Brawl, at least among the top 10, so you're more likely to see results from slightly lower than top tier characters.
Eh? Just because I just joined Smashboards doesn't mean I don't know about Smash. I've been a spectator of this community ever since Melee Bowsers avatar was on the front page.
