Love...
The truest form of love isn't an emotion, it's not hormones, it's not a feeling, it's not some intellectual principle; it's an act of the will we must make, a deliberate choice at every juncture to want what is best for the other, wholeheartedly and unconditionally, at any cost to ourselves.
Well... Love means a lot of things. It's no longer just a concrete definition. The most popular definition is that it's a feeling, which has gone well for many but bad for A LOT of people. If that definition you defined works for you and others, great! I agree with yours, too, but it stinks that about millions of people would disagree with you.

Welp, time to stop playing characters I enjoy and just pick the top tier character in each game because **** trying to win while having the most fun I can, right?
This is what Sakurai feared. He wants us to enjoy the game and not be tier hogs, but some people play to win. Sad sad worlds, this is...

If I wanted to, I could drop Pikachu right now because it's perceived as a top tier character. But no.

In other news I am back from Florida and Nichijou is a very good anime 10/10

I know you're being some kind of humorous, but that's honestly my main gripe. That is, you're assumed to not be trying to win if you don't pick a top tier, and that's utter bull**** because the entire point of a fighting game is to beat your opponent

I tried to face a competent Pikachu earlier with Shulk. Tried.

At least with Roy I managed to take a stock.

Meh, who cares? Even if Dedede turns out to be a low-tier character, I'll still main the character no matter what. Only "competitive" players rely on these things.

I'll play as Mewtwo (and Pichu in Melee) if I want, and no one's going to stop me!

I agree, it does mean a lot of things.
But, I wasn't talking about the other loves, I was talking about the truest love :D

Why pursue this objection? You seem to know what my response shall be. Reductionist materialism is something I obviously reject.
Edit: Woops, I guess I shouldn't assume what you're getting at, @ Xcano Xcano

To the rest above:
Match-up charts are far more important than tier lists anyways.
The primary ways to gain in skill are to practice fundamentals such as spacing / zoning, tech skill, etc., and the other important mean is to study the interactions between given characters, particularly what fundamentals can and cannot be used against them.

Nobody will stop me from using Luigi. Even if he's considered one of the worst (Smash 64) or one of the best (Smash 4). HE'S MY LEAN GREEN MACHINE! Same goes for the other characters I tend to use a lot.

Good evening btw, fellas. I started paying attention again.

I dunno if that's the right word here. A true competitor shouldn't care about your character choice.

Wait, now that you mention it, they shouldn't. Some like to brag about it though.
I was more or less talking about tier placements, so sorry for the confusion. If you had one, that is.

Because I feel like it. Also you can manufacture love in a lab so you can say the feeling isn't material but the thing making the feeling most definitely is so eh

I've recently switched from Smash Bros. to NSMBU because I want to play other games besides the former. As for the 3DS, mt Circle Pad has been getting a problem, rendering the version unplayable for me.

I mean I don't deny that tiers exist...but at the same time they're not going to dictate which characters I play as. Because either way, I'd likely do better with the trash characters I've played more extensively than the best characters I know nothing about. :p

Characters I enjoy playing as: Ganondorf, Roy, Ryu, Luigi, Doc, Little Mac, Captain Falcon.

I have no idea what their tiers are and I have no intention on ever caring about it.
I made a dude rather unhappy beating his Melee Marth with my Melee Ganon. I thought that was kind of messed up, considering the only reason he's mad is for tier reasons.

Tier tears.

So I discovered my cellphone can't handle Smashboards, many tears were shed.

How's everyone this lovely evening?

lol huh, FG? I've never played a competent Shulk with Pikachu.
Poor feels, they're deemed low tier. **** tiers.
Actual tournament. Even hyper arts cannot save Monado boy in the Pikachu matchup. Now there are 3 matchups where I would definitely rather play Roy.

To be honest...after the first game I started to get bored of the NSMB series. Now they are only fun when playing with people.

I do need a new game, though. I have kind of drifted away from Destiny and Elder Scrolls Online to play Smash more.

Like, I don't give a **** about tiers. I just happened to pick up Pika because uhh, idk? When the 3DS version demo came out, it was the only character I thought I was good with.

Whenever "Doc" appears next to Mac like it does in your post, my mind automatically goes to Doc Louis.

Doc Louis doesn't have a medical degree though.

My mains are the ones I enjoy playing as. There are other characters I enjoy, just not as good with them.

Lucina, Yoshi, Jigglypuff, Peach. I have no idea what their tiers are.

And that's great, I mean, if you're good with that character and you enjoy playing as him, just go with it and enjoy the game you paid for.

My mains (The ones I'm actually good with) are Yoshi and Pit, Ike and Robin (Which I'm not as good playing as them but my fancy fire emblem lordz are hella)

Then explain Mac's miraculous healing from terminal brain injuries every week

I like saying I main the random button because I have an easy time enjoying who I play no matter what. Besides Olimar.

I like using some other characters. Just depends on if I like them and or their playstyle.

I like Mario. He's fun, but I'm not really as good with him as Luigi because I have not mastered FLUDD and Cape shenanigans. XD Wario is a lot of fun and pretty good too. I wish he still had the shoulder bash f-smash, though. Roy's MY BOY! AND HE'S SO AWESOME! YEEEEEAH! Now I just need Wolf...

I'm all right I guess. Just finished watching the first season of Generation 1 Transformers. That's one thing off my to do list for the summer.
Spoiler alert

Optimus Prime dies
Starscream tries to usurp Megatron
Cybertron is a Transformer
