Sakurai: Oh, crap. Nintendo's not doing so hot right now and we've had to lay off alotta people. Hopefully my new staff will help me complete the game.
The game then proceeds to go the way of Starcraft: Ghost and is handed off to many, many different teams with Sakurai eventually being forced to leave the production. After a tedious few years, the game is finally given to Valve for god-knows-what shady corporate thingie and they make Gordon Freeman the new "Mario." The little crab things, whether they are ticks mooching off of people's skulls or crawling around like stuff found in your pubic hair, also make an appearance in the game. The mooching tick version of the crab hits twice as hard as Ganondorf and make annoying screeching sounds whenever they attack. The mooching ticks' taunt also involves them magically summoning a chair and having seizures in it (ala Half-Life 1, when you found the dude in the lab with a tick on his head). They are completely invincible before, during, and a couple of seconds after the taunt animation is over. They can also cancel the taunt into anything, including a B move.
The latter variant of crabs being considered top tier, of course, with attacks that are twice as good as Sheik's and with alot of invincibility frames. Hell, these crabs even have a B move that allows you to launch yourself on to your opponents head and take control over the character---permanently. If you SD while controlling said character, you will always get the point and it will not count as a loss against one of your stocks.
However, these crabs can't touch the man at the uppermost echleon, the God Tier himself: Konami's own Bill Rizer.
Being a walking invincibility frame himself due to the fact that he has survived so many alien wars with such a frail constitution (one hit kills him, remember, and he survives armies of uglies) and having attacks that are as quick as Fox's shine and considerable range, he is simply the character to beat. Even the Contra Death Flip(!!!!), which is his regular second jump, kills because it automatically sends out orange-red bullets in a spanning 360 degree arc that does 50% damage with great knockback (this is per bullet, mind you).
As the nail in the coffin, Bill Rizer is also not banned at tournaments because of his abilities. He is indeed very playable---judges argue, "well he can fall off the stage and lose a stock, right? Too many mindgames can lead to an airdodge off the edge! So that makes it perfectly balanced!" (This is when I'd cue a Goofy laugh, here). Nevermind, also, that the tournament format changes it's time to "unlimited" and sets the stock to 99.
Oh, my Lord. Did I post that?
