If this isn't Yoshi, I'm going to strangle a puppy.

Has to be IC or Yoshi, more than likely Yoshi since the IC community isn't constantly made fun of for being bad >.>

Vague hint is vague.
All we can really glean from this is that the chracter is "underplayed" (which, according to last week's hint, can mean a character in high tier apparently) and has a lot of "technical skill" required, which is kind of a vague hint. It could mean that they have a lot of ATs (which could be a number of characters) or that they require very precise spacing (someone like ZSS or Marth perhaps). Whatever. After that last hint NOT being Sheik (who fit basically every critera at least as well as Pit, if not better), I'm giving up guessing.

No real tech skill required though. WAC timing is pretty easy and that's about the only AT he has o_O

Subarashii!
WEEGII maybe? He requires a lot of timing, especially for his best kill move, upb
Why does every hint sound like Yoshi?
That being said, Yoshi has a fairly good shot here. No one really plays him, and he has all those ATs and grab release stuff that everyone keeps talking about. Plus, with Wario's recent rise on the rankings, Yoshi's favorable (?) matchup there may help his rise. He has a fairly good recovery, is heavy, has a fairly good approach and decent speed. He doesn't seem to have any obvious flaws, yet somehow is rock bottom of the rankings list.
Otherwise, Ness/Lucas seem like decent shots. They both have some absurd, but difficult to use, utility in their PSI moves (I have yet to see a video of someone using B-sticking and PK jumps in a serious match with Ness), and they're fairly solid characters except for the Marth thing.
Incidentally, if anyone knows of videos of the above, I'd certainly like to see them.

It screams yoshi in my opinion.
I think this one MIGHT ACTUALLY be yoshi.

I fear that everyone is right and that it is Yoshi, but...
I'm still holding out hope that it is ZSS. Ever since I started playing her, I felt like she's had a lot of potential but I don't wanna pat myself on the back and think she requires a lot of technical skill.

This character was a tough one to write a hint for. I had no idea where to start from. I dunno how this is gonna turn out though. Its either a good hint or a bad hint, and it might be much easier than I think it is (although it could be more vague, too). *shrug* Less characters means its harder to make these things, and this character was especially difficult to deal with for various reasons. panda in red ( darn quoteing messing up )
If my guess is right (Yoshi I guess) then it may be because you guys in the room in the back probly know yoshi the least of everyone since in most cases early on you all just said he was bad and threw him away.
Anyway if its not Yoshi them im wrong and well i don't care either way

It has to be someone everyone thinks is terrible.
With that in mind, it seems like Yoshi. But we really can't rule out Samus or other "bad" characters.
Also the whole "won't stop until they prove their point" thing seems Yoshi-ish too, since I know that my fellow Yoshi players are pretty vocal about him... there's a standing joke that tier discussion should be renamed Yoshi discussion.

Samus is already been done.
The only other ones it could be is PT, Jigglypuff, or Sonic

I think it's Yoshi, but since everybody already said that...
DONKEY KONG!
DONKEY KONG!
I didn't say that. I said that being unknown leads to a PERCEPTION of everyone thinking they're terrible. See Jiggz.
PK-ow!

Ness. . .
I need to know precisely what is meant by technical skill. Because I almost thought Donkey Kong, but no, his skill is positioning and all that, which isn't technical, it's just. . . skill. Except Sakurai Combo
Now with him aside, come on, of all the people who are left, the only character who could have potential, but still be unknown, is the character everyone is dismissing because of "that **** thing" - the release infinite, and Ness. (screw Lucas. People aren't dedicated to him like Ness, nor is he 'scary' even if you don't know what he can do).
Jiggs can be. . . formidable, if you don't know how to react to its WoP and evasiveness (I still don't quite 'get' the character), but I don't think it is found 'scary'.
Samus, it's not like people are surprised by good use of zair. And she's never scary except when used by simply a scary good player.
I really should play a Yoshi.
Ness boards explicitly state they aren't gonna stop until they prove he's high tier - like we're all sure he would have been if he wasn't pwned by that other high tier character. *grumble*

Pokemon Trainer or Yoshi to me!

People who have faced good yoshi's know this, Ganondorf isn't getting anywhere with yoshi, Pokemon trainers are willing to flat out not use Squirtle period =P.
MK mains may have trouble down the road, etc.
How many people have seen good yoshis? ECE, DR, DT, Release grab etc >.> Quite a few people admit to not knowing much at all about him
Now it sounds even more so like yoshi, No way in hell im getting Draconic Trot down unless by some miracle and DR seems like a very far away goal right now.
How many people have said Yoshi is bottom?
Theres been so much Yoshi talk its VERY easy to see that a lot of people feel he has very little hope.
It's yoshi without a doubt in my mind.
If Im wrong, I'll take a random kick to the groin, srsly.
IMO I doubt it's ice climbers, People actually believe in them and they don't get trashed talked, Look at IC's normal position on people's tier list, say IC's are bottom tiers YOU will take flank, say Yoshi is, people may agree.
Yet the yoshi crowd has to be among the most vocal thing you'll see in the tier discussion.
Chain grabs are a good part of yoshi's game and are what can turn the favor of many things for him, Grab release, DR and DT (I know I said this already) Air dodging is more important for yoshi than anybody else because a yoshi that can't DJAD is getting foot stooled.

If it's not Yoshi it's Isaac, but the requirements to get Isaac are ridiculous anyways so really I doubt anybody but hackers has him anyways so it is teh Green Pimp.
