Almost everyone knows about PRIMA's video game guides. The guides you find in stores everywhere.

Well PRIMA wrote a guide on ssbb. A person who got the guide posted some of the info online.

Well PRIMA "rated" each character based on unspecific and stupid criteria. They are:

Offense -
Defense -
Projectile -
Final Smash -
Throwing Ability -
Speed -

FAIL TIER LIST

*facepalm* What would smash be without smashboards?

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

Like all of us already know this already...

 

[AlexoftheAura]

Do they seriously think they can rate Lucario's attack power and KO power so easily? What fools.

 

[momochuu]

Lol @ Dedede's grab score. Honestly, it looks like they threw random numbers around.

 

[UncleSam]

alright, why did you get the Prima guide in the first place?

 

[Meru.]

Peach's info isn't that bad actually. Though projectile should get a 8.

I guess. o.o

 

[Falconv1.0]

This blog is only late by like a year, but whatever.

Also, with the advent of a weird thing called the internet, prima guides should be out of business by now.

 

[Nysyarc]

They make Prima guides for multiplayer fighting games? What? They should save themselves the embarrassment, they're bound to fail. 'Professional' game guides should be for single-player walkthroughs and crap only. Leave analysis of multiplayer games to the players.

 

[DarkAura]

fox.... low KO potential??? wtf

this is a joke... lol @ olimar being last

Captain falcon is only high tier on this cause of his sexy manliness

 

[Darkshadow7827]

I think I am going to vomit in rage.

 

[Deleted member]

You really can't blame Prima that much, as this came out before any of the characters metagames began growing, and is written from a casual standpoint.

 

[:mad:]

Godsmith said it best. They just formed opinions based on their super strong, unique moves. The tier list isn't based on tournament results, either.

 

[Man of Popsicle]

There FR/LG guide was so sh*t-tastic I vowed to never get one of there guides again.
I think they have a comitee of eight year olds pump them out in five hours, tops.

 

[RyuReiatsu]

You really can't blame Prima that much, as this came out before any of the characters metagames began growing, and is written from a casual standpoint.

Problem is... Captain Falcon still doesn't make the cut either way .

 

[Mr. Rogu]

yeah the prima brawl guide just plain sucks. the nintendo power melee guide was so much better
